When I pulled out, she said in a panicked voice, “No, harder. Please, Gunner, I need to feel you. I need it hard and fast.”
I about died. There was nothing sexier than my sweet wife talking dirty to me. I pushed into her again as deep as I could go.
“Oh God, yes.”
I pulled out and grabbed her hips, and then I gave her just what she’d asked for.
“Yes. Yes. Gunner, I’m going to come again. Harder!” Ellie cried out.
I was doing everything possible to hold off. Watching Ellie’s reactions was almost more than I could handle. Something was happening between us. We were rekindling what we’d almost lost. We were getting it back, and I’d never felt so alive in my life.
When Ellie began calling out my name, I pulled out and pushed into her again, deeper and harder. I could feel her squeezing down on my dick, and that was my undoing.
“God, Ellie, I’m coming, baby. Ah, baby, it feels so good.”
I was panting hard as Ellie wrapped her whole body around mine. I slid down next to her in the truck and pulled her as close to me as I could.
“I’ve missed you,” she whispered.
I closed my eyes and fought like hell to hold back my tears. “I’ll never let you miss me again, Ells. Never.”
Ellie and I just talked as we lay entangled in the backseat for the longest time. We talked about everything—our feelings for each other, the kids, our future, and the ranch. It was almost as if we were catching up on months of not seeing each other.
“Ellie, I want to do something like this once a month. I think we need to start taking just a few days for you and me.”
“I would love that, Gunner, even if we just stayed in a hotel for a day or two. I just want this, the way we used to be, without trying to be quiet so that the kids don’t hear. I want to just let loose once in a while.”
“Then, it’s a plan. I’ll make the arrangements for next month.”
She sat up and looked at me. “I’m so sorry I was a jealous idiot. I didn’t mean for you to quit the job.”
I smiled and said, “I’m glad you did. I needed the eye-opener.” I sat up and began handing back her clothes. “Come on. We still have a few more things to do before I take you back to the hotel, so we can really have some fun.”
When I pulled into Zilker Park, Ellie started laughing. “Oh my gosh. Are we going for a canoe ride?”
I nodded my head and smiled. “Yep.” I parked, jumped out of the truck, and jogged around to her side. I opened the door and held out my hand. “Don’t forget your sweatshirt.”
She grabbed it and jumped out of the truck. As we walked down to the water, I had a flashback to the day I’d brought her here. That day, I’d known I was in love with her and that I would love her always.
The song “Let Me Love You” by Neyo popped into my head, and my stomach did a crazy flip. I stopped walking, and Ellie turned to look at me. I just stood there and stared at her.
She slowly smiled and tilted her head. “What’s wrong?”
“I was just thinking about the first time we were here. Do you remember that day, Ellie?”
She nodded her head. “I do. We kissed for the first time down on the hike-and-bike trail.”
I chuckled. “Yeah, we did.”
I grabbed her other hand and pulled her closer to me. “I’ll always love you. Please don’t ever forget that, Ellie. You’re my everything. You’re my entire world. If I didn’t have you…” I shook my head and looked into her eyes. “I don’t even want to think about it. I promise to make you smile every single day, and I’ll never again bring a sad or hurtful tear to your eyes. I promise you.”
A tear rolled down her face. “I love you, Drew.”
“I love you more, Ellie.”
I sat back and felt the sun warming my face. It was slightly chilly out today, especially with us being on the water.
“Are you enjoying yourself, sweetheart?” Gunner asked.
I lifted my head and looked at him. I couldn’t help but smile. He was so breathtakingly handsome. His brown hair was slightly wavy, and his smile—oh Lord, how that smile makes me do things I never thought I’d do.
“I am—more than you could ever imagine. It’s amazing to just sit here and relax. There are no fighting kids, no weeds to pull in the garden, no soccer practice, no PTA meetings…”
I let out a sigh, and Gunner chuckled.
“You love all that other stuff though. Don’t you?”
I nodded my head. “Yeah, I do. But I think everyone needs a little bit of me time…or we time. I needed we time.”
“I agree. I needed some we time, too.” He took off his sunglasses and looked at me.
By the look in his eyes, I could tell he was up to something. He began rowing over to the side of the river.
I looked around and said, “What are you doing?”
The left corner of his mouth rose slightly, and he laughed. “Baby, you challenged me. It’s time to show you I was serious.”
I sat up straight. “Huh? We already had sex in the truck.”
He threw his head back and laughed. “Nah, that wasn’t public enough.”
My heart began to pound as I tried to figure out what Gunner was up to. He pulled up to the bank of the river and carefully got out of the canoe.
He reached his hand out for me. “Be careful, baby. Come on.”
I stood up and took his hand as he helped me out. He lifted the canoe out of the water and pulled it up onto the dirt path. A few feet above us was the hike-and-bike trail. I could hear people running by. I took a step over, looked up, and saw an older lady riding her bike.
I snapped my head back and looked at him. “No way, Gunner.”
He slowly nodded his head. “Oh, yes, ma’am. You can’t challenge me and then back out of it. I intend on making you orgasm right up against that tree.”
He pointed, and I turned around to see a giant cypress tree. I swallowed hard and felt my stomach clench. The idea of it thrilled me. I decided two could play at this game. I spun back around and looked out at the lake. Hardly anyone was on the lake since it was a weekday and chilly. I kicked off my sneakers and began unbuttoning my pants. Gunner licked his lips as I slid my pants down. Goose bumps covered my body, but it wasn’t because it was cold out. It was from the way Gunner was looking at me with hungry eyes.
I took my jeans and put them over a nearby branch as I watched Gunner unbutton his jeans.
