Sleeping on the Terrace Ch. 06

Rachel raced around the island counter as Jason's broom handle swept across the room to connect with Glenn's frying pan. "Yeah, she's probably right. Jason, do you want to go?" The broom handle locked under the frying pan and Jason twisted his wrist to send the pan flying across the room to smash against the side of Hanna's glassware cabinet."

Hanna screamed. "Ah, watch out for my china! That's enough, both of you!"

Bob stormed into the kitchen to stand in front of Glenn. "Come on Glenn, the second half is starting." Glenn made several more feeble attempts to get around Bob then gave up and walked back into the den.

Jason stood anxiously on the opposite side of the counter as Glenn followed Bob back into the living room. They crunched across broken glass and china strewn across Hanna's kitchen floor.

Jason took the dustpan from Hanna with a shrug. "I'm ready whenever you are Rachel." He began to sweep up the broken pieces of stemware on the floor. He stood up and deposited the shards of glass in the trashcan. "Thank you for a lovely meal Hanna, it was nice to meet Bob and your children too."

Hanna sighed as she assessed the damage to her cabinet. "I'm so sorry Jason, Glenn can be such a prick sometimes."

Rachel snorted her disgust.

Hanna smiled meekly then wrapped her arms around Rachel to give her a big hug. "I'm sorry sis, I guess we can't have a family holiday without some sort of disaster."

Rachel shrugged and hugged her back. "It's a family tradition."

"Why don't you guys come over for a Christmas brunch? It'll be just us this time."

Rachel gave her sister a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Maybe, we'll see what we're doing, okay?"

"Call me."

Rachel nodded to her. Then she followed Jason out the side door to the driveway.

They walked slowly down the driveway towards Jason's car, hand in hand.

"Where did you learn to handle a broom like that?"

Jason shrugged his shoulders and wrapped his arm around hers. "I took stage combat classes in college before I was in The Pirates of Penzance."

"You're kidding."

Jason struck a pose in the middle of her sister's driveway. "I am the very model of a modern Major General, I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral. I know the kings of England and I quote the fights historical, from Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical. I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical. I understand equations, both simple and quadratical. In short, in matters vegetable, and animal, and mineral I am the very model of the modern Major General."

"Ha!" Rachel squealed with delight. "That was fantastic."

He bowed sweeping his arms wide. "Thank you my dear, performances are sporadic but I always play to a packed house."

Rachel clapped her hands then she smiled meekly. "Do you want to come here for Christmas?"

"Do you?"

She shrugged then she wrapped her arm around Jason's and leaned up to kiss his cheek. "Kind of, I know it's a bit much to ask after everything that happened today but, she is my sister and she's always been there for me. We don't have to stay long."

"Okay. On one condition, I get you all to myself on Christmas morning."

"Thank you, sweetheart."

Suddenly, Rachel's cellphone began to ring. She pulled it out of her purse. "It's Janet."

Jason could hear Janet giggle into the receiver. "We're at Mikes place. Come over, there's plenty of food."

Rachel followed Jason to his car. "What are you doing there?"

"Come over and I'll explain."

*><*><*

Forty-five minutes later Jason and Rachel arrived at Mike's home and over a glass of wine Janet laid out the whole crazy story. "And that's how the turkey trotted all the way over here."

Jason lifted his glass of wine to clink it against the other three. "Well, this is one Thanksgiving that none of us will soon forget."

Mike looked from Jason to Rachel. "Why? What happened to you guys?"

Jason explained the whole event, blow by blow, from Glenn spouting off about gays in the NFL to attacking him in the kitchen with a frying pan.

Janet just sat there and shook her head. The look on her face spoke volumes.

Rachel snorted as she swatted Jason's arm playfully. "Well it didn't help when you started quoting Shakespeare, which was like waving a red flag in front of that bull."

Jason laughed out loud. "Bull is right. He must have broken half a dozen glasses with that frying pan. Hanna was furious. I'm surprised she didn't thump him herself."

Janet smiled as she stood up and carried several plates back into Mike's kitchen. "Did you guys get enough to eat? There's plenty more where that came from."

Jason patted his tummy. "I'm fine. Rachel?"

Rachel stood up and followed Janet into the kitchen. "I'm good Jan, let me help you with the dishes."

Janet filled the sink with soapy water while Rachel picked up a dishtowel to dry. "So, how was dinner?"

Janet blushed crimson and smiled demurely. "He's just so wonderful. I was having a really crappy day, and he just came in, swooped me into his arms, and I melted."

"Have you?" Rachel's voice tapered off to a whisper. "You know, what we talked about?"

Janet shook her head while smiling impishly. "Maybe tonight," she giggled and then covered her mouth with her fingers. "Don't you dare say a word."

"My lips are sealed and good luck."

An hour later the sun was beginning to settle between the trees. It was beckoning another crisp fall night. Jason stood up and held out his hand for Rachel. "We should probably go, sweetheart. I have tons of shopping to do tomorrow morning and I want to get it done early if I can."

Mike scoffed as he stood up and cleared the rest of the dessert dishes. "You're crazy if you're going shopping tomorrow morning. It's a total zoo out there."

Jason helped Rachel with her coat. "Have you ever done it?"

"What, go shopping on 'Black Friday'? Never. I've watched the news coverage of people acting like an angry mob too many times to believe that I could ever want to be any part of it."

"That's kind of why I go, to watch the insanity. I get a front row seat."

"How?"

"Mostly I stand in the back with my camera. I have a whole catalogue of crazy things that people have done to try to be first in line. Just to save ten bucks off the price of a toaster! It's insane."

"I know!"

Jason turned as he zipped up his coat. "I've even thought of doing a journal article on it." His eyes sparkled with mischief. "Come with me."

"What?"

"Come with me. I'll pick you up tomorrow at five in the morning. Our first stop after coffee will be the Wal-Mart on Lincoln Street."

"You're crazy! Five a.m.?"

Jason's grin grew wider. "Sure, we'll let the girls sleep in while we look for their Christmas presents."

Mike paused a moment and glanced at Janet. "He's nuts isn't he?" She shrugged her shoulders. Then he glanced at Rachel, and then to Jason. "Okay, you're on. Five it is. But you owe me for waking me at such an un-godly hour."

"No problem. How about we do dinner at my place Christmas evening? It'll be just the four of us. We're going to Rachel's sisters' place for lunch but after that it can be just us. How's that sound?"

Mike looked at Janet who nodded enthusiastically. "Deal."

As Mike ushered Jason and Rachel out his front door. He turned to see Janet leaning on the balcony rail outside of his living room.

* * *

Janet felt him wrap his arms around her waist and nuzzled her neck. "That was a spectacular dinner, you really outdid yourself."

She relished his attention. She turned and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You know I'm not a cook don't you?"

"You're just a late bloomer that's all. How about we collaborate again this weekend? I think I would really enjoy working with you in my kitchen on a regular basis."

"You would, would you?"

"Uh-huh." Mike leaned in to her and kissed her gently on the lips. As the kiss became more passionate he lowered a hand to squeeze her butt.

She moaned softly and pressed her body closer to his. "That was lovely."

"Yeah, it was."

"Mike, you do know about me don't you?"

He nodded and leaned in to kiss her again. "Yes. I also know that you've had a difficult time with guys in the past. But I'm not one of those guys." He leaned in and kissed her again. "Janet, I really like you and I really want us to be more than just friends."

"I want that too, but I'm scared." She hugged him tightly. "I don't want to screw this up."

"I'm scared too. Scared that I will do something to chase you away, or hurt you, or something stupid."

"You won't, I'm tougher than I look." She leaned back and looked into his eyes. "Would you make love to me?"

"Yes. How could I deny the most beautiful girl in the world?"

Janet blushed as she hugged him tightly again. Then she released him and took his hand as he led her back through the atrium doors.

Mike led her through the bedroom door to stop at the foot of his bed. He looked into her eyes and blushed. "I'm sorry the room is such a mess, I guess I'm not much of a housekeeper."

She began to slowly unbutton his shirt. "I'm not looking at your room dear, just you."

He reached forward and to do the same but she giggled and stopped him. "Let's take turns. I'll do your shirt first then it's your turn."

She continued to unbutton his shirt, pulling it off his shoulders and letting it fall to the floor. It was his turn next and he unbuttoned the back of her dress and slipped it off her shoulders. The silk fabric bellowed gently and fell in soft folds around her ankles. She smiled shyly, standing in her lingerie as she reached forward to unfasten his belt and let his trousers fall to the floor.

As he removed her bra her natural breasts swung free. Her nipples were standing tall like little ripe fruit waiting for his tongue. He leaned forward and took one nipple in his mouth while caressing the other with his fingers and thumb.

Janet swooned under his touch, her heartbeat grew rapid and the cock in her panties ached to be released. She wanted this; she wanted him to touch her, to caress her. She yearned for the release that she knew was waiting for her. She moved her hands down his sides and hooked her thumbs inside the waistband of his boxers. She slowly drew them down and let them crumple to the floor on top of his trousers. She looked up into his eyes as she let her lips caress the tip of his cock.

He closed his eyes and filled his hands with the locks of her hair as he encouraged her to take him into her mouth, to go deeper, to fill her mouth with his cock.

She began to suck and lick his cock starting on the underside and moving to the tip before plunging him into her mouth. She moved up and down his shaft, drawing him into her, sucking him hard. She could feel ever vein and muscle, every throb of his heartbeat as he moved past her lips. Then she felt him lift her up from the floor.

"You're so incredibly beautiful Jan." He leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips then he knelt down and pulled her satin panties off. "I want to see you, all of you." He let them drop to the floor as he stood up and then he stepped back to admire her. "You are stunning. I had no idea how beautiful you are."

She blushed crimson standing there feeling vulnerable. He stepped forward and took both of her hands to pull her towards his bed. He fell backwards and she fell on top of him, giggling nervously but gleefully. "Make love to me Michael, slow, sweet, and delicious love."

He nuzzled her neck and murmured, "Yes."

"Do you have any...?"

"Top drawer, beneath the condoms," he whispered.

She sat up and straddled him as she reached over to open the nightstand drawer. She pulled out a bottle of lubricant and a condom, which she opened and rolled onto his throbbing cock. She opened the lubricant and applied a liberal dose on his cock. "It's been a while, I might be a little tight."

Mike smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "It's been a while for me too but I'll be as gentle as I can. Just let me know if you want to wait or stop. It's okay, we have plenty of time."

She coated his condom-covered cock and reached behind to push some lubricant past her rosebud. The feeling sent shivers up her spine. He wanted her. He wanted her as much as she wanted him. He called her stunning. No one has ever called her stunning before. She nearly melted as he pressed his cock against her opening.

She pulled her butt cheeks apart and helped him ease past her sphincter. Another gentle thrust and he was inside. It felt so good, so wonderfully good to feel so full. She leaned down and wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him close and smothering him with kisses. "Oh God, you feel so good inside me. Go slow darling, let me catch up, you feel so big."

He slowed down and waited for her. She could feel him throbbing inside. She was slowly getting used to having a cock inside her again. It felt so good. It was different than with her ex-boyfriend, all he wanted to do was slam into her. Like she was some sort of blow-up fuck toy. He didn't give a shit about her; he didn't give a shit about anything except the little appendage that swung between his legs.

Mike was different, way different. She could feel how he felt about her in the way he made love to her, the way he held her, caressed her, kissed her, and even gazed into her eyes.

As she lowered herself down his shaft once again she looked into his eyes. She felt a connection. Was it love? Was this what it really felt like? It was nothing like she had ever felt for any other before, ever. She felt him swell inside her. He was close. She moved her hand to stroke her own hard cock. She wanted to come with him, together, in a single moment of bliss.

He arched his back and she arched hers. She stroked her cock furiously. She felt her come flow as she felt his cock thrust hard inside her. As she felt his seed fill her, long ropes of her own come splashed across his chest and stomach. She collapsed onto his chest, rubbing her cum between them. It felt heavenly.

=FOUR=

Mike opened the passenger door and climbed into the seat next to Jason. "Hey, it's cold this morning." He could see his breath in the morning air.

"Yeah, coffee?"

"Absolutely, there's a coffee shop open early around the corner."

Jason started the car and roared off in the direction that Mike pointed. "Perfect."

Twenty minutes later they pulled into the Wal-Mart parking lot. Jason stopped the car further out than usual. "I like to park out here so that I don't find myself in the fray once the fists start flying."

"It gets that crazy?"

"Sometimes, especially if it's early and some of the guys have been camped out here since dusk."

"What do we do now?"

"Finish our coffee and wait until 6am then all hell will break loose."

Mike shook his head as he sipped his coffee. "Thanks again for helping out Janet yesterday. She tried so hard to make a perfect meal and in spite of all that happened she pulled it off beautifully. Of course I have to thank Rachel for such a detailed list. That girl is a wonder."

"Yes, she is."

"You guys getting serious?"

Jason nodded then he glanced at Mike with a wink. "Yeah, I think we've almost decided that we can't live without each other. I know it's only been about four months but somehow it just seems like it was meant to be. You know?"

Mike nodded his head and took another sip of coffee.

"What about you and Janet?"

"I feel the same way, but we've only known each other for a couple of months, and we don't live next door to one another like you and Rachel do."

"True, it seems like from the very start we were inseparable."

"Jan and I have separate lives but at the same time I'm thinking of her constantly. Yesterday was killing me until she called. I wanted to be there and help her."

"Well, as it turned out you were exactly where you needed to be."

"Yeah, funny how things work out like that."

Jason set his coffee down and picked up his camera. He took off the lens cap and swept across the parking lot looking through his telephoto lens. "So, have you guys gotten together yet?"

Mike grinned from ear to ear. "Yup."

"And?"

"And that's all you're going to get buddy. I don't kiss and tell. But I will tell you that it was the most remarkable night I have ever had. She is incredible."

Jason smiled then glanced back into the viewfinder. "Uh-oh, it looks like the natives are restless."

"Time to go?"

"Yeah, grab that spare camera and shoot from another angle. This ought to be fun. They have lots of electronics on sale so the fights should be spectacular. I can see the hits on YouTube even now."

They both got out of Jason's car and dashed towards the front doors of the store wearing silly grins.

As they got closer the noise from the crowd was getting louder and Mike shouted to Jason. "Where are we going to next?"

"Target and then BestBuy."

"You do this every year?"

"Crazy isn't it?"

"Totally!"

*><*><*

As the elevator announced their arrival on the third floor of the office building that housed the doctor's office where Janet worked part-time. Jason and Rachel walked into the reception area of a modest sized office suite. From the listing on the glass window near the front door it looked like the office was a group practice of several chiropractors and several more massage therapists.

Janet Tabor's name was the third from the bottom. A small bell on the glass door rang and announced their arrival. A diminutive woman walked out from behind a screen and smiled. Her nametag read, 'Mary'. "Hello, are you here for an appointment?"

Jason smiled back. "Yes, we're here to see Janet Tabor. We have a two o'clock appointment with her."

"Oh yes, Jason Davies and Rachel Clark. Which one of you is going first?"

Rachel settled in a seat in the reception area and picked up a magazine. "Why don't you go first sweetie, I'll wait right here."

The receptionist turned and disappeared behind the screen again. A moment later Janet appeared. She looked radiant.

Rachel pulled her into a tight hug and whispered into her ear. "Was it as wonderful as you imagined?"

"Infinitely more," she whispered back.

Rachel released her and then Janet hugged Jason.

He paused a moment and looked into her eyes. "You look radiant, what happened after we left on Thursday?"

"I'll never tell," she whispered back and hugged him again. Then she stepped back and smiled. "So, who's going first?"

Jason raised his hand and grinned. "That would be me."

Janet ushered Jason around the screen towards the back of the office suite. "Come this way, sir. I'll be with you in an hour Rachel."

"No problem, I'll be here."

In the room Janet asked Jason to undress down to what he was comfortable with and get under the top sheet on the table. "I'll be back in just a moment."

"Okay, thanks."

Outside, Janet nearly raced down the hallway to collapse next to Rachel in a fit of giggles. She glanced around then whispered in her ear. "It was thee best sex I have ever had, ever!" Then she stood up quickly and dashed back down the hallway towards Jason leaving Rachel laughing at her jubilance. Janet almost skipped down the hallway.

A minute later Jason laid face down on the table with the sheet covering his legs. Janet composed herself and calmly came into the room. She adjusted the sheet around Jason and picked up her lotion. "So tell me if there is someplace I need to concentrate on."

"Just the usual spots, my upper and lower back are the most troublesome. I guess it's all from a bad case of 'computer hunch'."

"I get that all the time." Janet spread some lotion on his back and went to work kneading his sore muscles.

"So, here's a question for you." She paused a moment to work out a particularly tight muscle near his right shoulder blade. "Where did Jessie come from and why did you start cross-dressing?"
