Drake
After a wonderful birthday party with my family all around me, I have a lot to be grateful to my wonderful wife for. There had been music coming over the sound system, themed decorations, and family members all in costume. The table was laid with amazing food and to top it all off, the most awesome birthday cake. We all drank our fair share of wine from big jugs on the table that always seemed to be full. Everything was perfect.
I’m not normally a big fan of family get togethers. Not because I don’t love my family, but because I always feel uncomfortable, a bit like a spare part. I am also not a fan of fancy dress because it makes me feel like a complete tool. But walking into my dining room to see everyone dressed up, I couldn’t help but smile. There had been so much effort put into the party and I could sense the love that had gone into the night.
Taking Anna to bed afterwards, I worshipped her like she deserved. Both thoroughly sated, we drifted off to sleep wrapped in each other’s embrace. In the middle of the night I found myself awake and went downstairs for a glass of water. I grab a tumbler and reach for the tap…then turn and pour whiskey into it instead and sit in the den in my wingback chair. I relish the slow burn down the back of my throat as I drink back the amber liquid. I justify it to myself as having a much needed drink after a hard day at work. What had started off as a seemingly tough case had quickly turned to the shittiest case of my career to date. I had been up to my eyeballs all day and had looked forward to a relaxing evening at home with my wife and son. But upon walking through that door, seeing the way Annalise was dressed, I knew relaxation wasn’t on the menu for me.
I hadn’t expected the party, but it was actually just the tonic I needed after the day from hell. But if that was the case, what am I doing sneaking downstairs for a tumbler of whiskey? I’m a damn contradiction.
So here I’m sat with a second glass of whiskey in my hand, contemplating why I feel I need this. Is it just that I had an awful day? Or is it more than that?
Annalise
I woke the morning after the party to an empty space in bed beside me. I felt a little gutted as I had woken up from a very sensual dream in the hopes of re-enacting scenes with my sexy husband. Feeling a little perturbed, I got up and wrapped my dressing gown around me, found my slippers, and padded softly down the hall to Ayden’s room. Seeing he was still asleep, I turned and headed for the stairs.
I descended the staircase to a quiet house. Not a sound to be heard, except the birds singing in the trees outside.
Walking to the lounge, I found it empty. I backtracked to the kitchen and that too, was empty. The den and the dining room were the only other possibilities, so I headed for the den. The door was slightly ajar and as I peered round it, I saw Drake asleep on the chaise lounge. A tumbler seemed to have fallen from his hand to the carpet at some point, so I quietly stepped inside, retrieved the glass, and draped the blanket from the back of the chaise over a sleeping Drake. That was when I decided to start cleaning up from the night before. Clearing the plates, goblets, jugs, and a multitude of other things from the party took a couple of hours. Just as I’d finished loading the dishwasher, a strong pair of arms wrapped around my waist. I turned in his hold and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.
Instantly the smell of whiskey assaulted my nostrils and I had to step backwards, breaking Drake’s hold on me. A look of hurt briefly flashed in his eyes and I immediately felt bad. However, before I could say anything, we heard a little voice.
“Morning, Mommy. Morning, Daddy,” Ayden said cheerily as he made his way towards us.
“Morning, buddy,” we both replied in unison.
“Can we have pancakes, Mommy?” he asked as he climbed onto a stool at the kitchen island.
“Of course, baby. Do you want banana and chocolate with them?”
“Yes, please,” he replied enthusiastically.
It was one of his favourite breakfasts other than Cheerios or chocolate Weetos. I set about getting everything ready and Drake came round the island to help chop the bananas and melt the chocolate as he always did.
After breakfast, Drake excused himself to go up for a shower and Ayden went to play in the lounge while I packed away all the breakfast things.
When Drake came back downstairs twenty minutes later, he was dressed for football. He played 5-a-side on a Saturday with Jack and a bunch of friends. He kissed Ayden goodbye and then came towards me. Having hurt his feelings earlier, I wanted to make up for it. I stood on my tiptoes, wrapped my arms round his neck, and breathed a small sigh of relief as I smelled a mixture of toothpaste and mouthwash. I kissed him chastely on the lips then looked up at him, batting my eyelashes. He smiled and leaned in to kiss me back. The kiss was nothing short of breath-taking and the butterflies in my tummy were in overdrive. How was it that with one kiss, this man had me melting into a puddle of goo? He’d done it on purpose to leave me wanting while he was gone. I had to hand it to him—he knew how to play me. He pressed all the right buttons and I couldn’t wait until he returned from his match. I was hoping to get Ayden playing in his room or maybe even playing with his friend from next door round at their house so that I could surprise Drake in the shower.
***
With Ayden playing safely in next door’s back garden with his friend Jordan, I’d gone up to my bedroom and waited for Drake. Upon his return, he’d made his way straight upstairs as usual and saw me tidying our bedroom. He said hi before going into the en-suite to turn on the shower. As I heard the water running, I took off my dressing gown and walked into our en-suite, stark naked. The door to the shower was shut and the glass was steamed up, but I could still make out the physique of my man, the sight made my heart start to beat faster.
I opened the shower door as quietly as I could and slipped in behind my husband. The small sound as the door shut alerted him to my presence. He turned round in all his naked glory to face me. The smile that spread across his face was priceless. He opened his mouth to speak, but I silenced him with a finger on his lips. I traced my hands down the hard lines of his chest. One thing was for sure, the Saturday 5-a-side matches were helping him keep in excellent shape. He wasn’t a vain man by any means, but he took a pride in his appearance. I think it was more for me than him, but you’d never hear me complaining.
I allowed my hands to roam the whole of his torso before dipping lower. I ran one hand the length of his cock, which hardened from both our proximity and my touch. Without a moment to waste, I knelt on the floor at his feet, seeing his eyes light up as I looked into them. I traced the tip of my tongue from the base of his cock to the tip, eliciting murmurs of appreciation as I went. Taking the tip gently in my mouth and wrapping my hand around the base, I heard a deep groan emanate from him. Slowly, I took the whole length of him into my throat, inch by inch. Drake grew harder within the warmth of my mouth and I couldn’t help but smile, as difficult as it was to smile at that time. I reached my free hand round to cup his perfect ass, bringing him closer to me. I felt him wrap my hair around his hand to draw me ever nearer. His heavy, erratic breathing signalled that he was enjoying what I was doing, but before too long, he was pulling himself out of my mouth. I felt the loss instantly but didn’t have time to contemplate it as Drake pulled me to my feet, turned us around so that I was under the spray of water, my back pressed up against the tile of the wall. He wrapped my legs around his waist before using his fingers to tease my already sensitive clit.
Feeling that I was already more than ready for him, he moved to hold both of my hips in his firm grip. I wrapped my arms around his neck at the same time as he entered me, making me gasp at the sensation of him filling me up. He slowly started to move inside me and I bucked my hips to meet every thrust. What started slow and gentle soon turned more heated and passionate. His lips claimed mine in a kiss that was primal, almost savage. He wasn’t being gentle, but I loved every moment of it. Clinging to him like he was my lifeline, I clenched my walls around him, making him whimper and moan. I felt the sensation of warmth travelling through me and within what felt like only a few moments more, I was freefalling over the edge of ecstasy.

Our bags are packed and we’re heading off on holiday. I’ve packed up the car and I’m sat here waiting for Anna to hurry up and get her sweet ass out the door. She’s forever making sure we’ve switched everything off. I have a feeling she’s a bit OCD, but she’s my Cariad and I love her just the way she is.
I see her and Ayden walk out of the door hand in hand and I smile at the picture. They are so happy right now, excited to be going on holiday, but they have no clue where we’re going. Anna has tried to get it out of me. She’s promised me all sorts, sexual favours included, if I would just tell her. But sexual gratification aside, I can’t tell her where we are headed. I want it to be the surprise of their lives.
We all need this holiday, now more than ever. After my dad died, I’ve realised life is too short and I want to enjoy what we have while we have it. So when they’re in the car and ready to go, I turn on my iPod that’s connected to the car and I select some music for the journey. Ayden asks if we can listen to Disney tunes, but Anna is happy to listen to anything she can sing along to. She has a beautiful voice. I’m not sure if I’ve ever told her that, but she really does have a great voice. I love listening as she sings along to the radio or her iPod as she does the housework or as we’re driving along somewhere.
“Daddy, where are we going?” Ayden asks from the backseat.
“I’ve told you, it’s a surprise. You won’t know until we get there, buddy.”
I have been dying to tell them where we’re going, but it really will be a better surprise. I turn on the Sat-Nav and let it guide me on our journey. The music playing in the car is Depeche Mode. I introduced Anna to them when we got together and they have become her favourite band. I haven’t told her yet, but I have tickets to take her to see them when we get back home. I haven’t seen them for years myself, and I can’t wait to take Anna for the first time. She has an obsession with Dave Gahan—thinks he’s sex on legs. The song “A Question of Lust” begins to play and it makes me think of all the things Anna and I did last night. She really is something else. She’s the sexiest woman I’ve ever met and she gives herself to me so wholly. She holds nothing back, just loves me and makes me want to be a better man for her. Her luscious red hair, her stunning sapphire eyes, the creamy smooth feeling of her skin…they have nothing on her love. She’s divine to look at, sure. But it’s what’s in her heart that draws me to her like a moth to a flame.
Her hand on my thigh as I drive is comforting. I love her touching me. She feels the same, whatever we’re doing, we’re always connected in some way. Whether we’re sat reading and just holding hands, driving and she places her hand on my thigh…there’s always a part of us touching. A touch from her has me feeling grounded, safe, secure and most of all, happy.
***
We have been driving for what feels like forever, so I pull in at the services for a rest. We switch so that Anna is driving. She still doesn’t know where we are going, she is just following the Sat-Nav’s directions to our destination.
When we eventually reach the ferry, Anna’s eyes light up. She knows we’re heading for Calais. We all get out of the car and go to watch over the side of the ferry. The scenery passes by and we are all relaxed, but excited about our trip. Ayden doesn’t know where Calais is or why we’d be travelling there, but I know Anna has an idea now. She’s not stupid and I knew I could only keep it from her for so long. But we both keep it from Ayden, knowing he will be overjoyed when we get there.
***
Arriving at the Davy Crockett Ranch, we see log cabins all around. The cabin we are staying in is beautiful. We unload the car and go to take a look around. Ayden’s eyes are as big as saucers. He is in awe of this gorgeous ranch. We tell him there’s a swimming pool and at some point, we’ll take him swimming if he’s good. For now, we’re going to get something to eat and have an early night. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow. What he doesn’t know is that swimming will be the furthest thing from his mind in the morning.
***
We wake up early and set off to the theme park. Ayden still has no clue where we are or why we’re here, but I allow him to listen to his Disney songs in the car to get him in the mood. He and Anna sing along to “Hakuna Matata” and some other favourites of theirs.
As we approach the park, Ayden squeals so loudly I’m sure he’s burst one of my ear drums. I smile from ear to ear. It’s time to take my Cariad and my boy and have some major fun. What neither of them know is that I’ve booked for us to eat with the characters later on.
“Daddy, we’re at Disneyland,” Ayden says as I help him out of the car.
“We sure are, buddy. Are you ready to go on some rides and meet all your favourite characters?” I ask as I pick him up and put him on my shoulders.
“Am I tall enough for the rides?”
“Yes, buddy, you are.”
I take Anna’s hand in mine and walk to the entrance. This is one holiday we won’t forget in a hurry. There are memories waiting to be made beyond the gates and I can’t wait.
We get our tickets and I show Ayden the characters on the credit card size park passes. He says he wants the one with Woody from
Toy Story
on, and he says that Mommy should have the one with Ariel from
The Little Mermaid
. So that leaves me with Pumbaa from
The Lion King
.
Ayden starts singing “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” which happens to be one of his favourite songs. Anna and I join in with him as we make our way to the first ride of the day.
***
After a long day of rides, meeting characters, taking photographs with them, and getting their autographs in Ayden’s little book, we go for our dinner. Ayden is amazed that some of his most favourite characters could come to dinner and it’s that look of utter happiness that makes this trip worthwhile.
The three of us are shattered by the time we return to our cabin for the night and we haven’t even been round the whole park yet. We have another two days to do that.
“Thank you for today,” Anna says as she shuts Ayden’s bedroom door.
“No thanks necessary. The smiles on yours and Ayden’s faces today is thanks enough.”
I put my arms around her and she snuggles her head into my chest. I swear I feel my heart swell.
We walk into the lounge area of the cabin and sit on the sofa. We snuggle up close and pull a blanket over us, although our body heat alone is enough to warm each other.
“Ayden had so much fun,” Anna says as she lies against my chest, my arm wrapped around her.
“He really did, but there’s so much more to come. We have another two days here and I hear there’s fireworks at night, if we can keep Ayden awake long enough, that is.”
Anna giggles and the sound has me at ease. She turns to look at me and I catch her lips with mine. What starts as a slow, sensual kiss builds into something deeper and more passionate. Our tongues entwine and I taste the wine she poured for herself earlier. She invades all my senses; her touch setting me alight. The taste of her has me wanting to explore more, the sight of her has me fighting against a hard-on, the smell of her perfume permeates the air, and the sound of her heavy breathing turns me on.
I manoeuvre so she is lying with her chest flush against mine. I am sure she can feel my arousal through my jeans and hers. She wraps her arms around my neck and returns to kissing me. In a flash, I switch position so she is underneath me on the large sofa. I run my hand up from her thigh, across her abdomen, and up to her breasts, where my hand slips underneath the top she’s wearing and I pull the cup of her bra down out of the way. Leaning in, I take her nipple between my teeth and nip her gently. The slight moan that comes from her makes me want more. I suck and kiss my way from her breast up her neck and behind her earlobe where I know she’s ticklish.
Softly, I capture her lips in a sweet kiss. It’s over almost as soon as it begun as I sit back to remove her top. She lies beneath me in just her bra and I soon unclasp the back of it and let it drop to the floor. My hands roam her body and I roll her nipple between the tips of my index finger and thumb. It pebbles beneath my touch. As I do this, I capture her other nipple in my mouth and pull it taut between my teeth. The moans my touch elicits from her get louder as I bend down to kiss her. She kisses me hard, hungry for more.
Gently, I lift her from the sofa and carry her to our room. I lock the door behind us and lie her on the bed. I remove her jeans slowly, wiggling them down her legs and watch her shimmy her underwear down. She sits up and pushes my t-shirt up over my head. I throw it to the floor as she works the button and zipper of my jeans undone. Putting her hand beneath my boxers, her touch makes me harden and my breathing become shallower. I help her move my jeans down my hips and drop them to the floor, stepping out of them to stand before her in just my boxers. I go to remove them but she shakes her head.
“Lie down,” she says as she stands from the bed.
I do as I’m told. I would do anything for my Anna, my Cariad.
She props a pillow behind my head, knowing I like to watch what she does to me.
Pulling my boxers down, she nudges my legs slightly further apart. Kneeling between my legs, she takes my shaft in her hand and I see a wicked glint flash in her eye as she leans down and licks the tip of my cock…just once. My back arches and my toes curl. It’s amazing what this woman, this goddess can do to me with just one caress. She leans down again and takes just the tip of my cock in her mouth. She swirls her tongue around me and my hands grasp at the sheet as she takes me further into her mouth. She guides her lips down over my entire shaft and the magic she works has me begging to be allowed release. I know it’s futile when she’s in this kind of mood. She likes to tease me and get me so close…only to change her mind. Anna looks down at me with such love in her eyes, as if it is our first time all over again. She changes her position and slips herself down over my throbbing cock and I moan at the warmth of her wrapped around me. My hands move to her hips and hers to my chest. The gentle movement of her grinding against me to gain friction has me in a spin. I need more, and by the look in her eyes, she knows it. She ups the pace and throws herself back, riding me like life itself depends on it. Her breathing changes and I know she’s close to her climax. I grasp her hips harder and move in perfect rhythm with her as she crashes over the edge into the abyss. Her walls clench my cock tighter as she rides the waves of her orgasm and the minute change has me coming inside her. This is what ecstasy feels like. This is heaven.
***
The next morning, I find Anna wrapped around me as I wake early. I gently move her so she’s lying on the bed, and get up to take a shower. I turn the water up hot and enjoy the heat as the water pummels the skin of my back. As I stand under the jet, the shower curtain is moved aside and Anna steps in to join me. She washes my back and then I turn to help wash her down. Next thing I know , she’s on her knees with her mouth poised to wreak havoc with my self-restraint. When I had woken, I had been so tempted to wake her gently and make love to her, but she’d looked so peaceful, I had left her to sleep. But now, here she was and I was going to make the most of the opportunity.

“You ready to go baby?” Anna asks Ayden as he finally pulled on his other shoe and stood up, looking ready for the day ahead.
“Sure am. What are we doing today?”
“We’re going to explore some more of the park that we didn’t get to yesterday,” she answers as she holds out his coat for him.
“Then, if you’re not too tired, I hear there’s supposed to be fireworks tonight,” I add as I grab my wallet and keys.
“Fireworks? Awesome!”
Ayden holds his hand up for a high-five and I smile as I hold my hand up for him to slap.
Today is going to be a good day. The weather looks perfect and my beautiful family are by my side.
As we approach the park, Ayden is getting more hyperactive. I park the car and we all jump out, ready to kick-start our day.
