I was annoyed.
Annoyed and frustrated. Not with either of them and certainly not at my daughter, but with my ex-husband, who still couldn't seem to handle a single tough moment as a parent even though she was sixteen and we'd already been divorced for more than three years. Furthermore, he'd known how hard the divorce was on Lainey because she was still in middle school when we first split up and unlike Maddie, who was in college, couldn't escape and had to live through just about all of it.
Naturally, she hated his new girlfriend and after my husband moved her into his new place, Lainey didn't want to spend time there. I don't blame her, of course, but I also wanted to follow all of the arrangements and agreements because I was paranoid he'd find some way to weasel out of paying what he owed me. So I sat her down and was honest with her about why she had to spend every other weekend with him and that she could text me whenever she needed anything.
It worked until fairly recently, and that's why I was standing in my bedroom wearing fishnets and high heels, my chest covered in cum, cutting my afternoon short. They were understanding (albeit disappointed) and went home, where I know they got to finish things properly once they got the chance. As for me, I showered, dressed, quickly discarded any evidence of our tryst, then treated my daughter to a night out. Later, I finished things for myself.
Then, for a month, nothing. Lainey stayed exclusively with me while I played main negotiator; I got slammed at work planning for my organization's spring gala; and I barely saw any friends, let alone her, except for the occasional cup of coffee. I'll admit, too, that it was a little more awkward than the times we'd gotten together after my Christmas party. I don't think anything had really changed; I told myself we were both incredibly busy and stressed. We talked mostly about our kids, work stress, and aside from her accepting my invite to that gala (we need tickets and donations, after all), none of our escapades were mentioned. Then again, we were in a Starbucks that was always filled with people we knew (or who knew people we knew), so you could never tell who was going to overhear.
At the beginning of April, she texted me to let me know that her husband was taking their son to a baseball game so she was free to hang out. The high school kids had been on spring break all week and while I love my daughter, I needed to be around someone other than a teenager (who was still refusing to see her father, although we were going to try again a week or two later), so I gladly accepted. Saturday rolled around and just after dinner, I told Lainey that I was heading around the corner for drinks. She could text me if she needed me, but I knew she wouldn't; she was home and chatting with her friends while binging her favorite show. So if I were to get up to anything, I'd be in the clear.
Of course, you have to know that I didn't assume anything was going to happen. I was ready, though.
I grabbed a bottle of wine and headed over, dressed in a T-shirt and leggings with a denim jacket and my hair pulled into a ponytail. She answered wearing a T-shirt and jeans and I immediately noticed that she'd cut her hair short again. It swept across her forhead and hit just below her ears.
"Thanks," she said when I complimented her, and explained that the long hair had started to annoy her and reminded her why she'd kept it short to begin with. I responded with a nervous chuckle.
But after an hour and a couple glasses of wine, my nerves cooled. We sat on her couch and talked about work, upcoming travel and vacation plans, what we were watching, and our kids. We were both animated and laughing and you couldn't have guessed that there was any awkwardness at all. Then, she asked about how my daughter was doing after all that drama. I clenched up a little.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up such a sore subject," she said.
"No, it's okay. I just wish he wasn't so useless, you know?"
"Yeah."
"At least you've got a husband who genuinely likes spending time with your kid," I said, "And likes you."
"Don't sell yourself short. He likes you, too," she chuckled.
I laughed, feeling the ice break again. "Well... the feeling's mutual."
"Oh, I'm aware of that," she replied.
I took another sip of wine. "Is it wrong that I was annoyed at him for interrupting us?"
"No, it's not. Although I guess it could have been worse?"
"Oh God. Could you imagine if he just dropped her off? How would we explain that?"
She laughed and snorted a little, which made me laugh. I refilled our glasses and sighed. "It was really fun, though."
"I'd say it was more than that," she said before taking a sip.
"Yeah. I... well, I'd say you got what you, uh... came there for?"
"Oh, I came all right," she laughed. I groaned and took another gulp of wine and there were a few quiet moments before she said, "So I was wondering..."
"Hmm?" I asked.
"Well, I know we were interrupted, but I did get what I wanted. So I guess we should plan what's next?"
"Right," I replied, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering what you're thinking about, actually. It's your... uh, turn."
"Oh yeah," I said and drank some more wine.
"I mean, I don't want to force anything. I know you've been very busy planning the gala and with all of this family drama, so I get it if you haven't had time to think about it."
"Oh, I've thought about it. Trust me," I said with a nervous laugh.
"Nice. So what is it?" she asked.
I breathed in, placed my wine glass on a coaster, reached across the crouch and kissed her. We broke apart, kissed again and while I slid my tongue into her mouth, she put her own glass down. I leaned in closer so that I was right on top of her while we made out, and she ran her hands up and down my back.
A few moments later, we came up for air. "You sure?" she asked.
I kissed her again while squeezing her breast over her shirt. "Yeah."
"You know I'll have to tell him about it."
"I'm counting on it," I replied.
She pulled me in and squeezed my ass. I started kissing her throat, sucking on it a little while I took in the scent of the wine on her breath and floral perfume. She let out a sigh and squeezed me harder. Then I started kissing her again and when we came up for air, we were both panting.
"We could go upstairs," she managed.
I nodded and sat back then grabbed my purse and followed her upstairs. She dimmed the lights and pulled me onto the bed before kissing me again, and within seconds we were lying next to one another, devouring each other's tongues while our hands roamed all over one another's bodies. I slid my hand up her shirt and under her bra then squeezed her nipple and she responded by rubbing me through my leggings.
"That feels good," I breathed before kissing her again. She kept rubbing me and when I started to pull at her shirt, stopped and sat up so she could take it off. I sat up and did the same and she grabbed my breast and pushed me onto the bed while kissing me some more.
I rolled us back to our sides so I could touch her breasts as well and we continued to kiss passionately. Her breasts were soft, her skin was smooth, and while she kissed and sucked on my neck and throat, I ran my hands all over her. She brought her hand back between my legs and began rubbing me again.
I sighed and she said, "You're so wet."
"I know," I replied, and kissed her again. I had completely soaked not only my underwear but my leggings, and I'm sure that if I let her keep going, I'd come.
So that's what I did. I swirled my hips a little and arched my back; she got my signal and began kissing and sucking on my nipple while rubbing faster. I took a deep breath and held it for a moment as I concentrated on the way my body was started to tingle. When I let it out, I pushed on her back so she was even closer.
She sucked my nipple harder and I felt her fingers sliding back and forth over my leggings even faster. I moaned and my hips bucked against her, and soon I was clenching my legs around her hand while holding her head against my chest. I gasped for air as I came and pulled away when it was done.
"Wow," I said. She smiled as she caught her breath and I took a moment to take in the sight of her: short blonde hair now matted, her cheeks flushed, and her nipples swollen on her round breasts. "Lay down."
As she did, I rolled on top of her, kissing her throat, her collar bone, and then her breasts. I swirled my tongue around her right nipple and sucked on it for a moment, repeated the same motions on her left nipple and then placed my head between them. She took in a deep breath and sighed out as I licked her chest before kissing my way down her stomach.
I undid the button of her jeans and she squirmed a litle as I slowly unzipped them then took a moment to kiss her right above the waistband of her panties. Her pants were not off yet but I could smell the arousal of her sex. It was sweet and sharp and I took a deep breath while I continued to kiss her and found my patience. Then I slid her jeans and underwear down, revealing her bare pussy.
She kicked herself out of her clothes and spread her legs to show me just how aroused she was. Her lips were swollen and so wanting. I felt myself tingle and took a deep breath before I bent forward, sliding my hands up her thighs. I flattened my tongue and dragged it up the middle of her pussy, opening up her wetness until I found her clit. It was swollen and hard, so I flicked it with my tongue.
"That feels good," she breathed.
I slid my tongue back down, licking her right side, stopping to swirl it around her hole a little. Then I licked up her left side and stopped to swirl my tongue around her clit. She sighed with pleasure and I did it again, making sure I was going slowly.
"Just like that," she said.
I kept going, teasing more wetness out of her and getting drunk on her smell and her taste. After a little while, she started breathing more heavily, so I paused at her clit and flicked it with my tongue before sucking on it a little. She sighed loudly, and I moved down the middle of her pussy until my tongue was swirling around her hole again.
She sighed again. I swirled it some more and spread her legs wider, then slid it inside her. She squirmed against me. I took my tongue out, swirled it around her hole and then went deeper. She moaned. I went faster and put my lips to work, kissing her. She moaned again.
I made out with her pussy for a while, listening to her breathing and her moaning until I knew her orgasm was getting close. When I sensed it was, I slid my tongue up toward her clit and began teasing her most sensitive spot.
