Ch. 8 - Time Out for Football
After the Susan and Phyllis sendoffs to chase the organ, I was finishing breakfast when Clemmie arrived with a frown. "I had to sleep by myself last night."
I gathered her into my lap and kissed her. "I'm just an ass, as usual. Of all the women who deserved special attention last night, you were the one."
"Better. Keep talking. I might forgive you one of these months."
My hand was under her shirt, on a braless boob. My lips at her ear whispered, "Anything, name your price."
"Much better. Keep doing that, I'm thinking."
I walked us to the middle of the room. "See if I've learned how to defend that kick."
Her eyes gleamed as she skinned out of her jeans. The yellow high cut briefs looked awesome. We circled each other, hands high, feinting. She was on her toes, dancing, waiting for me to commit to a move. I knew the minute I did, she would counter with a whirling kick that would probably level me. I tried a move anyway, and was on the floor seconds later. She pounced. Kim clapped from across the room, walking to us and kneeling.
"You have gotten really good with those moves. What about classes for the rest of us?"
I kissed Clemmie with a lot of tongue and she hung on tightly, saying to Kim, "I would do him right now, but I have to be professional. Remember your line, "Work now, sex later? That's me. DR has me studying two different texts that I will need in school this fall. He is a fantastic teacher and has even stopped trying to bed me." She stopped talking to Kim and looked at me. Her face softened and she said, "Theo! Don't look at me like that, it makes all my juices start up."
I walked us down the hall and onto my messy bed. Her pretty yellow briefs were gone in seconds and I was buried in her seconds later. "I'm declaring a temporary work holiday."
She wailed and twisted and jerked trying to avoid me, but that tough body full of karate moves was grooving on the big cock that had her pinned down.
She gave up and fell back. "Oh shit, just do me. I need you."
It was very tender to begin, and very wild at the end. Kim toweled us off after the shower and fixed Clemmie's hair. "I hope you know how good you are for Theo. He hugs me in the night and tells me about what an incredibly talented woman you are. I could get jealous..."
Clemmie was actually teary. "Oh my, how can I be professional when I keep crying happy tears around you two?" We hugged some more and shared one car to the office.
I sat on the sofa with Clemmie alongside, feeding me telephone messages. One of them was from Coach Lyle. I phoned him back right away. "You good for nothing pass receiver, Larry wants to know when you are going get your butt over there and scrimmage with the team?"
"Hey, I am good for nothing, I admit it. The gallery has me snowed under, but I promise to call him today and find a date."
"I like the sound of that. Let me know when, I want to watch. If they smash you flat, I'll know I made a terrible mistake!" He was cackling loudly as I rang off.
"He's not very nice," Clemmie said. I pulled her hair and said, "He's a coach, and it's a hell of a job keeping high school players motivated."
She climbed into my lap and whispered, "Theo, you do a fantastic job motivating your..."
Her tongue filled my mouth and her chest was mashed against mine. God, what a woman.
I pushed her down flat across my knees. "Clemmie, you destroy me. I am really, really restraining myself from attacking you right now."
She gave me twenty seconds of her best bedroom eyes, and then shifted back to business. "Carlos called you yesterday. I even managed to talk to him in Spanish, sort of. He's nice. Wants to know when you can practice."
"He should be in class right now, but see if you can raise him on his cell." I leaned back, running my hands over the fine body lying across my lap.
She punched in the number and said, "Stop that. You are making me wet. Hello, Carlos, can you talk to Theo?"
She handed me the phone. "Hola, Carlos, I am bad. Can you and Arturo pick me up tomorrow after school and we'll go to my high school field? Coach says it is ok."
"Senor Theo, we are ready!" Clemmie gave him directions and eyed me after she clicked off.
She smiled, "Loving your women and chasing gold and diamonds is not going to get you in shape for football season. Do you want me to be your trainer?" The look in her eyes spelled lots of trouble.
I leaned down to kiss her and work over the boob poking up from her blouse. "I suppose you are going to ration my sex life too?"
"If you can get it up after your daily workouts and run, I suppose that is ok." She sat up and straddled me just as Laura came in.
"I knew it. I just knew it. Can't keep your hands off each other." She leaned in for a double kiss.
Clemmie waved the fistful of pink slips at her. "He is making progress."
Laura said, "Susan called, she is so excited she could hardly talk. They have only been there an hour, but the owner let them play it right away. She couldn't stop telling me how divine the sound is. Asked if it was ok to fax you the sales contract for review."
"You've called Kim's lawyer?" She and Clemmie cuffed me. "That's what we get paid for, dummy, trying to stay one jump ahead of you."
"OK, smartypants, tell me what we should be worried about. In the deal and in the contract."
They sat on either side, still pulling on my hair and stealing kisses.
"It's over a hundred years old, so there isn't exactly a warranty!" They giggled. "But maybe, Susan and Phyllis should pay one of their expert friends to give it a workout, just to see where repairs may be necessary."
"The contract should have a schedule itemizing everything we are getting. That's important for the disassembly and reassembly, and the insurance."
"We should get some guarantee of assistance in working out any problems when it is back together at this end."
I pushed them down across my lap and kneaded their shoulders. "I suppose I shouldn't say this, but you are really good. I need to keep delegating things, especially since Clemmie says my physical training has to get in gear."
Laura went off to hand carry the draft contract to the lawyer. Clemmie and I cleaned up the rest of the phone slips. She said, "We have to get our act together about DR and Eduardo on Saturday."
I got her facedown across my lap this time, swatting gently at her behind. "Am I supposed to be getting some kind of message from what you are doing?"
"I'm just thinking about how smart you are and what a great geologist you are going to make."
"What does that have to do with beating my ass?" She sat up and laughed and kissed me hard.
In my ear, in a soft voice, "You keep flattering the hell out of me. And those swats feel real nice."
"Remember that the next time we get in a tough spot and I'm asking you to do something dangerous."
Kim and I were having lunch and organizing the next few hectic days, with the organ coming, the final proofs on the promotional materials for the jewelry program, Eduardo's men going to work, and a zillion other things. She gave me one of her "Theo's Mother" looks and said, "Clemmie told me you asked her to be your trainer."
I waited a moment and said, "Is that ok with you?"
Oh oh, now the look was soft and her hand was taking mine. "Theo, she is a wonderful woman and in love with you. I worry that your life is so complicated, and there is no room for a wife right now."
"I don't want to hurt her. Tell me what to do."
"I know this sounds cruel, but find a way to keep some distance between you. It is too soon to be bonded tight."
That night, I was in Clemmie's bed, with the alarm set for five. I was under orders to stop being a night owl and get a good night's sleep. She was helping by being my alarm clock and fixing the early coffee while I got my clothes on for a five mile run and an hour in the weight room.
I whispered in her ear, "I got some motherly advice today."
She turned into me. My finger caressed her breast. "She says we can't get too tight with each other or someone is going to get hurt."
I found her lips in the dark and kissed as tenderly as I could. She pressed herself tightly to me. "Theo, you louse, you hurt me already. All those beatings I have been getting. Midnight sex in the desert! Wrestling..."
She paused, "You listen to me, I'm stuck on you like your other women, but I'm getting over the 'can't live without you' business." Another pause. "For the next several months, I'm your trainer and you are going to follow orders! You are going to get in great shape, and you are going to catch touchdowns for Larry and the team." Another kiss. "There. Do you understand?"
"What about the sex?"
"No sex unless you are meeting training goals. I am going to post a sheet for the others to see."
"I knew this was going to be tough."
