The Trouble Way (17 page)

She pressed her head against his, positioning her ear to his lips.
“Maybe you could kiss my ear while we see how we might proceed. What can we do about this?”

Jake held her breasts as he nuzzled and kissed her ear.
“I think we should try to take this a little slower,” Jake whispered, continuing the gentle massage.

Her breathing quickened.
“Well, we are certainly in an awkward position now.” Her breathing stopped when he tuned her nipples. “Do you have any suggestions? Mr. Forest?” she said when she found her breath again.

“
I know this is hard. Maybe we could be friends and see where that leads.”

She reached one hand behind her and fumbled under the afghan still wrapped around his waist.
“If you think that is what you want, we’ll just have to see where this goes,” she said as she found what she was seeking and squeezed him. “I think the situation is not the only thing that is hard.”

“
Shhhhh, maybe we shouldn’t talk right now and just think a bit,” he said and moved himself from her grip and positioned himself onto the bed and pulled her down beside him. “Roll on to your tummy.” Placing his hand on her buttocks, he raised himself enough so he could kiss her neck and began to work his way down her spine to the small of back, feeling the fuzz of the tiny hairs tickle his lips. “You have a sexy back. Strong.”

“
That’s the results of toting the twins, I’m sure,” she said, arching her back and raising her buttocks against his hand. “Oh my god, Jake, that feels wonderful.”

He slid his hand beneath the elastic of her waistband and pulled her panties down enough to see a hint of the rounds of her cheeks.
“What a nice smooth, fuzzy butt,” he said as he kissed softly and bit his way across from one side to the other. “Let me see what you have on this side?”

“
Um huh,” she said. “You can do as you like, Hon.”

Grasping one hip he turned her slowly to her back and slipped his fingers under the elastic of her purple panties and made them hip-huggers to even them with the backside, kissing the silky skin above the low line of the elastic waistband.
“You have such silky skin.” He pressed his lips at her hairline, lingering to suck on the velvet skin.

She gave a relaxing moan and reached her hand and placed it on his head.

He moved leisurely toward her tummy, stopping to nurse the soft satin skin as he advanced.

“
Oh my, my, my, Jake that is delightful.”

Her stomach muscles flinched as his lips tickled their way over her sensitive places. He put his hand on her leg and felt the goose bumps as they sprung a garden on her thighs.
“Are you cold?”

“
Not hardly, Hon, quite far from it.”

Her tummy began an uncontrollable shudder. Jake rested his head below her breasts and let his fingers lightly caress her as his hand stole its way over the exposed hair and to the elastic of her purple undies.

Her fingers clenched fists full of his hair and she pulled his head between her breasts. Her hips rose and tried to push against his hand. He listened to her pounding heart as her chest rose and fell with her frantic gasps of panic, her breasts, a soft mushy mask, smothered his face.

“
I can’t stand it, Hon, I am not going to last.” she freed a hand from his hair and found his teasing fingers and forced his hand under the elastic and made him cup her. She raised her hips and gave him free admission. He slid his other hand under her thigh and separated her trembling legs. Goose bumps covered the back of her long leg. She guided his fingers to her nest. “Do me … right here, Hon.”

He could feel the moisture on his hand as he gently wiggled her to a peak until she started to catch her breath.

“You’re getting there, Sweetie,” he said and gave her a rest. “That’s long enough, Dear,” he said when she stopped her breathing and he could sense her concentration. “Here we go.” Again, he timed her excitement and raised her to an ever higher peak until she relaxed and tried to rest. “Take your time and concentrate … you can do it this time,” he said and began his wiggling again. She began to shake and her breathing intensified to where she could breathe no faster. This time, he did not allow her further rest and would not stop. “This time, Sweetie,” he urged her on until she finally ascended, bound over her peak and exploded into the inevitable, unbridled ecstasy she was aching for. “That’s the way … you did it, sweetie. I knew you could.”

With her chest heaving, he moved his head from her breast and raised himself up to where he could kiss her lips. He gripped a hand-full of her thick hair and pulled her mouth to his.

“That was the best ever,” she said between gasps of trying to breath and kiss and talk all at once. Finally, she just parted her lips and let him breathe her breath as she inhaled the oxygen from his lungs. They kissed long kisses until her breathing slowed.

“
I loved the way you came and the way you held my head to your breasts,” he whispered into her ear. “We did really good?”

“
Yes, Jake, that was just the greatest,” she said. “We did really good.”

“
If you think you are up to it, sweetie, I think we should try that one more time” he said. You seem to have caught your breath.” He put his head between her breasts. “Your heart seems have calmed. I think you’ll be okay “Do you think you can do that again?”

“
I a mmmm am not shu—

He didn
’t let her finish and lowered himself and rested his head on her tummy, wrapped one arm under her leg and pulled it close to him and secured it place with his calf. With the other hand began again on her, letting her rest when her body melted but refused to give her a rest on the final climb and her head raised from the pillow and her abs tightened and she curled upward, hugging his head tightly to her breasts. She gave a continuous, delightful moan as she plunged through the love barrier in a repetitious bucking, orgasmic spasm of pleasure. When her rearing finally subsided, she collapsed, gasping as if she had been saved at the last moment before she were about to drown.

“
Oh God, oh my,” she said, still struggling to breathe. “Oh my goodness, Mr. Forest, that is absolutely magnificent. That is unbelievably wonderful.”

“
It makes me feel very sexy that I could give you so much pleasure. I am really glad that you liked your little adventures,” Jake said as he moved his head from her chest once again and nestled his head next to hers.

“
Oh Honey, I more than liked them, I absolutely adore them.”

They lay for several long minutes, holding and kissing in each other
’s arms. She turned toward him, put her head on his shoulder and let her hand roam over his chest and to his stomach. She looked down at him.

“
Now, Hon, it’s your turn,” she said. “If you can’t find it in your heart to screw me, maybe I can satisfy any special needs you might have in some other way. That is, of course, if you are still curious about anything and still want to be friends.”

“
Do you have something in mind?”

“
Hmmmm. Let me think.” She lowered herself and rested her head on his chest. “My goodness, I can see someone who obviously needs immediate attention. You’ve been neglected, my poor dear, haven’t you?” Her unanticipated touch gave him a satisfying, amusing start. “How about I give you some extra special care? You like my big soft lips, don’t you? Are you curious about my boobs? I see some Vaseline on the nightstand. What do you think?”

As Jake watched, he saw her wet her lips and soon felt the tickle of her hair as it brushed his stomach and then the wonderful warmth of her lips. It was not long when she reached to the nightstand and picked up the Vaseline. He watched as she applied it to him and to her cleavage. She flung herself beside him and pulled him on top and scooted down to position him between her breasts. She held her ample breasts tightly around him and he slid between them. They made it last for a long time. As he was about to go over the edge, she slowed him down and made him rest. It was a long time before she sensed he was about to lose control and she gripped his hips and wrestled him down to meet her.

“Now, Mr. Jake, get that thing in there,” she whispered and wrapped her calves around his legs and locked him to her. It was all the persuasion it took to make him do her bidding. She finished him off in style, blissfully accepting the burden of his weight as they rocked excitedly to their mutual, ultimate peak.

“
Oh, my god, Hon, you are wonderful. You are wearing me out for sure. And we didn’t have to wait for another time after all, did we?”

“
Well, Sweetheart, I can resist just about anything but temptation.”

“
Oh my, I’d better scoot on home, Hon; it’s nearly two.” He felt the puff of cool air as she untangled his arm from around her chest and moved her comfy bottom from his lap. She slid from the bed and dressed by the faint light coming in through the curtains from the parking lot.

He must have dozed because he was startled when he felt the weight of her breasts on his chest and her luscious lips on his as she bent and kissed him.
“I’ll make sure the door is locked. I had a wonderful evening. You absolutely exhausted me. It’s the most exquisite evening I’ve ever had. You wore me out. I’ll never, ever forget tonight. Maybe next time, if there is a next time, we can probe a little deeper into our friendship. Good night, Hon.”

“
‘Nite, Mrs. Rebecca Brinks.”

“
You are so funny, Mr. Jacob Forest.”

“
Well, Alice, are you all set for the crowd?” Jake asked the cafeteria manager just before the lunch rush. “Have you tasted everything?”

“
Of course, Mr. Forest, that’s my job,” Alice said.

“
Just checking,” Jake said. “You know I’m supposed to follow up with you on this stuff. What’s that smell?”

“
I don’t know Mr. Forest. I noticed it a few days ago but can’t figure out where it’s coming from.”

“
Has the grease trap been cleaned lately?” Jake knew that was the most obvious causes of distasteful aromas in the kitchen.

“
The maintenance crew cleaned it a few weeks ago, Alice said. “I’m sure that is not the cause.”

“
It might be a good idea for maintenance to check it again tonight, just to make sure it is not stopped up,” Jake said. “I’ll make sure the assistant on duty tonight follows up. But, you tell them too, okay? Now, I think I’ll have a cup of your delicious coffee.” Jake pulled a Styrofoam cup from the dispenser and helped himself to some coffee and found a table near the serving line where Ann was sitting. “Mind if I join you?”

“
Be my guest, Mr. Jake,” Ann said with a big smile, “anytime.”

The moment he sat, something caught the corner of his eye. He kept his eyes focused in the direction he thought he saw the movement and it happened again. When Jake realized what had fallen from the ceiling, it was too late. He jumped up from the table and looked closely at the stained sagging ceiling tile. There was a line of wiggling fat white worms squirming their way through the gap in the tile. He
’d seen them before on the farm on a dead calf; there was absolutely no doubt in his mind he was looking at a line of maggots. He saw one drop and land in the middle of the customer’s mashed potatoes, then another. Jake wasn’t the only one who noticed, the scream from the customer confirmed that, she too, saw what landed in her instant mashed-potatoes, trying unsuccessfully to swim their way out of the lukewarm gravy lake to the mash potato shoreline.

Berserk was how Jake relayed what the lady
’s reaction was when he later described the incident to Mr. Hedd.

Before he had a chance to calm her, or even approach her, she launched her tray and was running to the service desk. Before she came within ten feet of the desk, she demanded the supervisor obtain the number for the King County Health Department. Her next demand was for the use of the phone. The supervisor did not dare refuse either demand.

It was up to Jake to handle the situation since Mr. Hedd had left the store for lunch, a rare thing for him. This incident would undoubtedly insure he would never leave the store again for any reason, if at all possible.

Seeing the futility of trying to reason with the distraught lady, Jake returned to the cafeteria and used a chair to block off the serving lane and instructed Alice to shut the lights down in the area and explain to customers already cuing for lunch that there was an emergency and the cafeteria was closed.

“Remove all the food from the steam table immediately, Alice.” He grabbed the phone and called receiving. “Dwight, bring the tall ladder out to the cafeteria. Make it quick. Ann, would you go back to receiving and get a mop and bucket and bring it right back. Please hurry.”

“
What’s the matter, Mr. Forest?” Alice asked. “We just opened the line for lunch. Mr. Hedd will not be happy, I can tell you that for sure.”

“
Shutting down for lunch will be the least of Mr. Hedd’s worries, I can tell you that for sure. I’ll take care of Mr. Hedd, just do as I ask, Alice.”
