Jen flushed,
“You have such a dirty mouth when it comes to sex. It’s a good job you kept
that well hidden until I got used to you. Even now I don’t have a clue what to
say when you talk like that.”

“Just enjoy the
filthiness of it, it means I’m nuts about you!”

 “Hmm, well I
hope I don’t have to pay for this particular makeover. I’ll just take Hugh out
front for a minute while you cook; I hope nobody sees me because I’ve no
underwear to put on and bag lady hair. I think that makes me the one who’s nuts.”

Todd chuckled
as she made her exit, he was so happy he was fit to burst and that’s when the phone
rang. He checked caller id. It was Carly – of course it was.

He picked it
up praying Jen took her time outside. After a few minutes of Carly’s diatribe
and not being able to get a word in edgeways, he told her she must not come to
Bloomington, he wasn’t interested, he was in love with somebody else and in the
end that she should just fuck off before he slammed the phone down on her.

Shit, he felt
in his bones Carly was just going to show up here, and if she did Jen would
freak. If he continued to sleep with Jen, and all this was not over, and Jen
got pulled into the backlash? Well she would probably never forgive him. The
only choice was to call a timeout - just for a short while, until the lie of
the land was clearer.

Despite his
worry he smiled genuinely when Jen reappeared, “Feed me Seymour,” she joked,
using the line from Little Shop of Horrors.

Todd decided
he’d give himself today – one perfect day with her, and then he would have to
ask Lily for her help deflecting Jen while he tried to sort this mess out. He
may just need everybody else on board too.

Jen managed
to crawl up to her apartment puppy in tow, when Todd had to leave to pick Lily
up. She was floating on a cloud of pleasure having had hot sex no less than 5
times. No wonder her legs felt like jelly.

Todd had
spoon fed her scrambled eggs, then with a twinkle in his eye he swept the
dishes to one side and pushed her forward over his kitchen counter.

 With
painstaking slowness he lifted Jen’s vest up her spine and over her
outstretched arms. He followed its path with his lips and tongue allowing his
body weight to blanket her; he shed his t shirt again and rubbed his chest
along her back allowing the crisp hairs to tease her pale skin. When she began
wriggling underneath him he unzipped and slid her skirt down her legs holding
the fabric in his hands so it descended only inch by inch, he massaged and
stroked her bottom and legs right down to her ankles and feet.

As Todd crept
back up her body he slid a lazy finger inside her and followed it with his
tongue until the sensation became so overwhelming that she begged him to take
her. Then he quickly unsnapped his jeans and mounted her, driving easily inside
and humped her as hard as he’d been dying to do from the start, sending her
teetering into orgasm twice until she was aching for him to come.

Then they’d
showered together and he’d gently washed and kissed every inch of her. Picking
her up under her bottom, Todd encouraged Jen to lock her legs about him. She
bit her lip hard enough to draw blood when he took her hand and showed her how
to guide him inside her. The emotional and physical intimacy between them
seemed to be raging so much higher than Jen’s expectations, and the underlying
fear caused Jen to use all the internal muscles she possessed to squeeze down
on him so he couldn’t last as long as he wanted. In the end, when he succumbed
to defeat, Todd tickle tortured her as punishment, then he’d dragged her back
to bed and allowed her to sleep for a couple of hours.

When Jen woke
on her side, Todd was spooned up tight against her, his fingers sliding deep
inside her. She was only vaguely aware of the sounds of pleasure but didn’t
recognise it as her own voice, she turned into him before he could make her come
again, and hooking a leg over his hip, grasped his cock guiding him deep inside
her making both of them cry out. They thrust gently against each other, kissing
the entire time tenderly, lovingly, absorbing each other’s sighs and moans
until they came together. The deep vaginal tremors inside her were so acute she
could only weep while he kissed and stroked her better.

When her
tears subsided Todd spoke softly in her ear, “I love that I can come so deep
inside you, I never gave it much thought before, always just suited up and
never wished it were different. Even when Carly got pregnant I’d never gone
without a condom. With you it seems right that I be as close to you as I can
get. You’re the only girl I’ve ever taken bare, you’re my first Jen and I think
if you told me I had to use protection now, well I’d cry too.”

“I’ll never
ask you to - I promise, I want you just like this.”

The last time
happened when Jen tried to leave. She’d left Todd naked and seemingly fast
asleep in bed but he snuck up on her as she faced the door, Jen put Hugh on the
floor in a hurry as he lifted her skirt, and coaxed her legs apart. Next thing
Todd was sliding inside her again, kissing the crook of her neck, sticking his
tongue in her ear and driving her wild with a flurry of dirty words and feral
thrusts.

“Why are you
doing this?” she gasped, “Anybody would think I was never going to let you
touch me again, oh god Todd!” He pulled her arms up above her head and pinioned
her there with one possessive hand, his other skimmed down her side and crept
between her legs, one of his long clever fingers found her clit and stroked
her, all the while his long thick cock rutted deep inside her. Todd’s grunts of
pleasure firing her up until she screamed so loud Sean banged on the ceiling
two floors above and yelled that he was sick of hearing them shagging.

Really she
should feel mortified, she had no privacy and no secrets left but right now Jen
just didn’t give a damn, she did fear the poor puppy was being traumatised for
life though, it was a funny kind of example they were setting.

“So what
you’re saying is until Carly gets the message or on the off chance she does
something that would give Seb grounds for  a restraining order, you want me to
run interference for you with Jen – do you really think Carly is that far gone
– she’s not dangerous is she?”

“I don’t
know, I never would have thought so before but I think something or other has
affected her, maybe not even something to do with me but for some reason it’s
me she’s fixated on. The things she’s said on the phone are odd, it’s not like
dealing with the same person I thought I knew.

Look Lily its
three days until Sean’s charity fundraiser and I think Carly’s planning on
being there either on the night or in the next couple of days. I didn’t tell
her about it so she must have seen the details on the internet. The problem is I’ve
more or less promised Jen she won’t hear about Carly again and until I can be
sure that’s a definite, I don’t want to be forced into a situation where I
might have to stretch the truth.”

“I know we’re
close Todd, but you’re really asking a lot this time. I never thought you’d ask
me to interfere with your sex life!”

“Just help me
out Lily, back me up and keep your eyes peeled for Carly; Sean & Seb know
the score too, I’m probably going to need all the help I can get.”

“Ok,” she
sighed.

****

Jen felt like
she’d been trapped in a mad bubble, granted she’d been kept busy between
enduring fittings with Sean, and keeping up with work, but Todd had been acting
all weird around her.

It had been
two days since they had... she didn’t even know what to call it, made love now sounded
too tame which was definitely not the case, in her own mind she blushed when
deciding what he’d really done was screw her senseless.

Since then
every time there was a chance of them being alone he made an excuse or for some
reason Lily popped up inexplicably. Just yesterday Jen had felt a little brave
and tried to surprise him while he was in his shower but Lily burst in the
bathroom ahead of her and insisted she needed to use the toilet, while Todd was
in the shower? I mean she knew they were close but she was surprised Todd was
that open-minded with his sister.

I mean with
all that sex she should have been ok for a few days but Jen couldn’t stop thinking
about being with him again. This morning she’d endured another mammoth waxing
session at the spa, what a load of crap it was about only having to have it
done every 4-6 weeks. The price she paid for the long dark hair and dark
eyelashes was that she could easily get waxed every fortnight; Jen hoped to god
it was true that eventually her re-growth would slow down, it was killing her
and now she sort of had a boyfriend she was stuck having to get it done.

Coming home
grumbling and tingling all over Jen decided she was due a treat for all her
efforts, and if she had to seduce Todd so be it.

Showering with
her arm out of the stall Jen dried herself and applied lotion wherever she
could reach. Then selecting a bra carefully, she pulled over her bottom some
silky soft jogging pants and on her top half a red cap sleeve t shirt that
stopped just shy of her waist. Jen sat in front of the mirror and pulled her
hair into a hopefully sexy side ponytail, leaving a few curls loose, making her
look a bit gypsy like and wanton. Then she made up her face, taking her time
over it so she looked artfully natural.

She spent
time in the kitchen pulling loose one of the wall shelves - which had taken
some doing, then Jen sat and waited because she knew Lily had to go up to
Sean’s for the final fitting of her cocktail dress. Sure enough she heard her
light footed tread on the stairs not long after and then Jen called Todd to say
her shelf needed fixing urgently.

Todd knocked
on the door, which was unusual at the moment because with all the comings and
goings between the three apartments it seemed like lately nobody’s doors were
ever locked and people were just barging about all over.

Jen greeted
him with her hula hoop in hand, “Hey,” he said waving his bag of tools while
taking a long look up and down her.

“You look
very pretty,” he stroked the side of Jen’s face but then he seemed to catch
himself and stiffened. Jen ignored it and steered him into the kitchen, “it’s
just this shelf, it seems about to collapse and I didn’t dare move the china
off because it’s a bit high up for me, and with my injury and all...” Jen was
aware she was laying it on a bit thick and wasn’t sure Todd would fall for her
playing the hapless female, but what the hell.

God she was
revolted at how obsessed she was with Todd. He had sweatpants on and a red and
white plaid shirt, he still hadn’t bothered shaving and the dark and dangerous
look seriously suited him. It brought out the colour of his eyes and gave a
rugged edge to his almost too handsome face.

“You don’t
mind if I do my exercise while you fix it do you?”

“Er no.”

She’d
carefully set this up so he could work on the shelf but she’d be in his eye
line the entire time. Todd didn’t know what she was up to but he was gritting
his teeth willing away the erection that was forming unbidden.

He watched as
Jen went over to the stereo and put on some rock music then she came back
towards him and started hooping in place, he turned his face away and tried to
concentrate on fixing the shelf, but he kept seeing her from his eye corner.

Jen started
rotating her hips; she was getting ready to make her next move.

“Oh boy, I’m
getting hot,” next thing in-between rotations she whipped her t shirt off over
her head and it sailed past him, Todd’s eyes jerked towards her, oh oh he was
in trouble, his little one time innocent had on a scarlet red push up bra. His
eyes followed the rotation of her hips and after a few minutes he could feel
his head start to copy her movements, Todd cleared his throat and tried to
concentrate on the drill in his hand.

Jen changed
her stance lifting her hands and locking them behind her neck, a little
awkwardly due to the cast, but it forced her hips to work harder and her breasts
to thrust up and forward. She pushed her left leg out and concentrated on
making everything below her hips work harder, when she looked up Todd’s eyes
were focused right where she wanted them to be, at her crotch.

“You having
trouble with your equipment Todd?” she asked casually.

“No.”

“Really?
You’ve stopped screwing, has it seized up?”

Todd’s answer
was to switch it back on and screw the new shelf fixings in.

Jen panicked;
she was running out of time, she set her hips going faster.

Mother Nature
and gravity were about to help her out, the proximity of Todd and sexual
frustration mixed with exertion started beads of sweat trickling down between
her breasts, her jogging pants slid down half an inch revealing the top of her
red lace panties and Todd’s palms began to itch to touch her.

There was a
knock on the door and she looked up, Todd’s eyes were still fixated on her
lower body, at that precise second, Lily’s head came through the door. “Todd
there you are I, oh help what’s going on in he......”

Faster than
lightning Todd leaped her kitchen counter and side stepping Jen he pushed Lily
back through the door and slammed it in her startled face, then he spun and
caught Jen’s hoop in his hand. He looked hard suddenly and deliciously dangerous.

Todd lifted
the hoop over her head and threw it onto the sofa, “just remember Jen you asked
for this,” he said in a menacing tone.

His right
hand settled around the back of her neck and he bent his head and licked the
line of sweat from between her breasts travelling upwards first, then down her
abdomen to where her hip bones were the only things keeping her pants up.
