Oh-seven-hundred, Mountain Time. The sun not quite peeking over the mountains in Poison, Montana.
Toni's dream shifted to the church parking lot in Missoula. Robert had his hand inside her open shirt squeezing her breast, with Jessie standing close by watching. Then Samantha walked up in a little black dress and started watching too. "I'm going to take you right here," Robert informed her.
"Jessie smiled and Samantha said, "Do her hard Robert."
He tore her skirt off, leaving her nude from the waist down, and then lifted her onto the hood of the car before starting to undo his pants. After freeing his manhood, he stepped closer, positioning himself ...
Toni screamed, "NOOO!". Not because she wasn't enjoying it, nor because she was in pain. She had screamed out of frustration. She was awake and the phone was ringing.
Somewhat grumpily she answered, "Hello."
"Hello, Mrs. Smith. This is your wake-up call."
"Oh, Mr. Smith," Toni sighed. "Thank you for the wake-up, but couldn't you have waited two more minutes?"
Robert chuckled. "Let me guess, wet dream?"
"No, only very close to one."
"Tell me. I have a few minutes, maybe I can help you finish."
"That would be wonderful Mr. Smith, but I need to meet Mr. Ganley at the dealership. He said he wanted to offer something for the auction, but I had to meet him before eleven. Something to do with his mother-in-law."
"Toni, if I did my math right it is seven o'clock there, I think you have time for me to help you out."
"Mr. Smith, your point is perfectly made as usual," Toni stated and then started to review her dream. "You, me, and ..."
Fifteen minutes later when they disconnected, Toni found that she missed Robert even more after he 'helped her finish'. She didn't even have Jessie to distract her.
She threw off the sheet and padded naked to the bathroom. Telling herself an ice-cold shower would help, and it did until she re-discovered the sensation provided by her soapy loofah against her cold hardened nipples.
Ten minutes later she emerged clean but even more frustrated. She dried, then stood in Robert's closet smelling his clothes. That certainly wasn't working, she could feel herself getting wet again.
"Coffee," she spoke to herself and grabbed her kimono on the way downstairs. Turning left she grabbed a cup from the cupboard and started the espresso maker.
She always enjoyed making shapes in her coffee. A leaf seemed to be her best.
"Okay, Toni you can do this," Toni reviewed allowed. "You have appointments most of the day today, and tomorrow will be a breeze. You can worry about Friday, Saturday, and Sunday later. Maybe you can go to New York and visit Jessie. No, not a ... Oh, my God. Toni, you're talking to yourself." She shook her head and sighed.
Sipping her espresso, she decided to sit in the sunroom for a while and relax before heading to the dealership. However, when she rounded the kitchen island, she stepped into a puddle of water.
Sighing heavily, she followed the puddle out of the kitchen and into the sunroom, where it ran along the low wall to a pool drain. She stood staring at where the puddle ended for a minute or two while sipping her coffee. "Well, Toni, Robert isn't here. You'll have to deal with this ... And right after the auction you can spend the next three days in therapy for talking to yourself again."
Walking through the sunroom, she unlocked the door on the Clemons' side of the house. Then went back to the kitchen, took another sip of coffee, and picked up the phone.
"Hello," Debra answered.
"Debra, it's Toni. Is Bill at home?"
"Yes. We just finished breakfast. Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing major, I have a small leak in the kitchen. Would he be able to take a look?"
"Sure thing. I'll send him right over."
"Thanks, Debra, and tell him the side door is unlocked. He can come right in."
Debra promised she'd tell him, then disconnected. Toni started mopping the kitchen, then decided it could wait until the water was off. She finished her coffee and, was about to start another cup when Bill walked in.
"Hey, Toni where's the leak?" Bill asked while admiring Toni's legs from behind.
"In the island somewhere," she replied while turning around. "I know nothing about plumbing and didn't even look for it. What good does it do to have expert friends, if you can't take advantage?"
Bill laughed. "Nothing I guess. Where's Robert?" He asked while opening the cabinet doors on the island's dry side.
"Europe. Won't be back till late Sunday."
The first thing Bill noticed while looking under the cabinet was the 'special' fitting he had installed was tampered with. The 'cut string' on the wax had been pulled, but the wax hadn't been removed. Smiling to himself, he realized that it would have taken several days for the leak to start.
He assumed Robert had lied about his fantasy, and that he set the whole thing up to get Toni fucked by another man. He quickly removed the wax and was happy with the slight increase in flow. He looked over the island at Toni. She was watching him while leaning on the counter behind her. Her robe gapping slightly showing off a nice amount of cleavage.
"Shouldn't be much of a problem. I just need to turn the water off, and then I can replace the fitting."
"Would you like some coffee?" Toni asked as he stood.
"Maybe later," he smiled and headed for the pump house. All the plumbing fixtures had their shut-off valves there for convenience. That way you could shut off water to one faucet or stool, without needing to shut off the main. He made sure to turn off the wrong valve, and then eagerly returned to the kitchen. Removing all the items from under the sink to make room, he asked Toni when they could play cards next.
