Merrill's sisters, Jill and Ellen, were met at the airport in Buffalo by their parents. Gail and Bill Maher were eager to hear the girls' impressions of Jake.
Jill gushed, "Oh, Jake is a dreamboat! And what a gentleman! I just love him! Don't you, 'sis?"
Ellen said, wearily, "Oh yes. I wish he could be mine. I'd love to meet a guy like Jake, someday, as long as he's not in love with my sister!"
So, Merrill's parents were favorably disposed toward Jake when he and Merrill arrived in Buffalo, a couple of weeks later. Gail and Bill met them at the airport. Jill joined them at the house. Ellen was away, at school. Ashley was back, at home, with friends, for this was a weekday visit. Jake had lobbied hard for Merrill and he to meet her parents in an adult environment. Merrill had countered that her mom and dad would surely be won over if they saw how he interacted with their cherished granddaughter. Jake's argument, truth to tell, was predicated largely on his desire to be alone with Merrill for some serious sex, and on his ambition to have sex with Jill.
There were two tense discussions that needed to be had with Gail and Bill. First, the sleeping arrangements vis-a-vis Jake and Merrill. Second, Bob's absence.
Merrill had solicited Jill's support in advance. Jill had already talked to Gail and Bill, pointing out that Merrill and Jake never slept together when Ashley was in the house, that they intended to marry, that Merrill had been married before, and had born a child. Merrill was 28 years old, for God's sake! As they carried the bags into the house, Bill announced, "We're giving Merrill and Jake the guest room. We stuck Jill in the office." Problem solved.
Bob's absence, and the state of their marriage, was a more complex conversation. Jill had said only that Bob was absent because he could not get off work. This was suspicious, because Bob was a financial advisor, who could work remotely. Jill and Merrill had gotten their stories straight, on the subject of Bob, well in advance. They would broach the subject at dinner, and continue the discussion into the night, for as long as it took to get Mom and Dad on board with Jill's plans. Merrill instructed Jake, sternly, "Don't say anything. Just sit there, sensitive, serious, and silent." Jake was a little miffed at being dismissed in this way, but he had never been married, and Jill trusted Merrill completely, so he complied.
At dinner, Merrill said, "Mom, Dad, we need to talk about something serious." Bill grasped his wife's hand. They both feared that Merrill would announce that she was pregnant with Jake's child. Instead, she said, "Jill is very nervous about talking to you about her marriage, but the time has come to make some decisions, and she needs our support." Bill thought,
"Out of the frying pan, and into the fire."
Gail thought,
"I'd rather hear that Merrill is pregnant."
Jill took over, "Thank you, Merrill." She sighed, and said, "You know that Bob and I have had trouble in our marriage, but it's worse than I've let on. I think I need to end the marriage, and get a fresh start, while I'm still young."
Gail was not surprised, but not on board, "Honey, are you sure you've tried everything? I mean, every marriage goes through hard times, dear. There's counseling for these times." Bill nodded in agreement.
"Mom, Bob has refused to go to couples counseling, flat out. That's part of the problem. He is not committed to the marriage, the way I am. He won't change. He drinks too much, he ignores me, he is very secretive about his phone, his online activities, and our finances. These are all serious red flags, and he flatly refuses to discuss them."
Gail shot a glance at Jake, the outsider. With great difficulty, she offered, "Is part of the problem your...romantic lives?"
Jill sighed, "No, mother. It's not about sex. Without going into too much detail, I have done my best to be a good wife, but to no avail. I honestly think that the problem is that Bob does not want to be married, to me, or anyone else."
Bill said, gently, "What you are proposing to do is very serious, honey. You need to think about it. Sleep on it."
Jill pounded her fist on the table, and said, "I have slept on it for hundreds of nights, already, Dad! One more sleepless night is not going to change anything. I don't want this to drag out for years, and wake up, thirty and single. No offense, Merrill."
Merrill rolled her eyes and said, "None taken."
The conversation threatened to become circular. Jill had hoped to keep Bob's infidelity from her parents, but she saw now that she had to use the ultimate weapon to bring her parents around. Jill said, "Mom, Dad, I have to tell you the whole truth. Bob has been unfaithful to me. Once that I know of, and that he has admitted. I think maybe there were more, that I don't know about. It's over."
Bill and Gail were silenced. Merrill said, "I have talked this over with Jill for months, now. I'm sure she is making the right decision."
Bill said, "Jake, I know you're not as close to this situation, but I would still like to hear your impressions, as an outside observer."
Jake felt that this direct question invalidated Merrills gag order. He looked to her, and she nodded. Jake said, "Even though I have never met Bob, I think that cheating on your spouse is unforgivable. I cannot imagine any justification for being unfaithful to a wife like Jill. How can Bob ever be trusted?" Bill nodded grimly. It never even occurred to Jake that there was any equivalency between what he had done from what Bob had done. Jake's playing around with other women was fully sanctioned, in his mind, by Merrill.
Bill and Gail were somber, and mostly silent, for the rest of the evening. They went to bed early. Jill, Merrill and Jake stayed up, talking, for an hour. Eventually, Jake asked a leading question, "Merrill, don't you think it's time for bed?" Merrill shot a glance at Jill, and they both laughed.
Jill teased, "It's always time for bed for you, Jake." They went to their respective rooms. Fortunately, the office, in which Jill slept on a sleeper sofa, stood between the guest room and Bill and Gail's master bedroom. Jake had reason to be especially eager to bed Merrill in the guest room. It had been Merrill's bedroom, and it retained some of her personal, teenage touches. Jake salivated at the thought of having her in her old bedroom.
Once they shut the door behind them, Jake mauled Merrill. She managed to say, "Okay, Jacob, but you have to be fairly quiet. My parents have experienced enough trauma tonight." Jake could only grunt in acknowledgement, for his face was buried between Merrill's boobs. He maneuvered her onto the bed, and had his way. He rocked the frame so hard that it made ominous popping and cracking sounds. He had not had sex in four long days.
Jake pummeled Merrill. When he pulled out, his cum flowed from her pussy. After a brief rest, he let Merrill mount him, and ride herself to her own orgasm. After another brief rest, Jake lay on top of her, crushing her to his chest, and boned her again. He added a smaller helping of semen to the bounty he had implanted the first time. Merrill knew that she would have to discretely wash these sheets daily, to avoid her mother finding embarrassing pecker tracks on them.
In the morning, Jill said, "I heard you two rattling the windows last night. Well done, Jake!" Jake was still not comfortable with the openness Merrill shared with her sisters. He looked at Jill with narrowed eyes.
I'm going to turn you into a grease stain.
Merrill laughed it off. Jill began to cry, saying, "I am so happy for what you two have. Bob and I, even on our best day, were never as close as you two are."
