Steve, Debbie, and Emily are lingering over their coffee this morning mostly yucking it up over their sexual acrobatics the previous night.
"You guys can be real nutcases sometimes," Debbie grumbles.
Steve
tries
to defend his honor, "Hey! Ellie started it!"
"Oh she did, but you certainly did nothing to stop 'er!"
He just laughs. Emily shakes her head at both of them in an attempt to deflect her own guilt in the rough sex play.
"And how's your back, sweetie?" she chuckles.
"Oh, I'm fine. A bit sore. Nothing a little Flexeril can't fix."
The story here is that Steve was on Debbie in doggie, and little Ellie thought it would be fun to climb on Steve's back for a "bucking bronco" ride during their energetic coitus, pressing her pubes into his coccyx. Em was egging her on and helping her keep her balance while Steve pumped into Deb. After laughing at the scene sharing the bed with them, Cyan and Jackson decided it would be prudent to move to Jax and Em's bedroom before they were caught-up in the zaniness... or Ellie fell down on top of 'em.
Steve recounted, "Ellie was still laughing when she left for school this morning."
Emily let's out a deep sigh, "I continue to be amazed that we always manage to find new ways to play."
"Yeah," Steve wistfully muses. Debbie reaches down to tweak his cock. "
Hey!
" he laughingly protests.
"Anything on our agenda?" Deb ponders. "I'm remote today. I have my big laptop and figure on camping out at the table here. One of our reinsurers is pushing back on some rate proposals and the boss wants a little more justification for the increases."
"I'm working from home, too," Emily confirms. "Stevie?"
"I have nothing urgent. Need to call the pool place and check-in with Alex about that special-order pump for Ashley. Deb?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't forget to have something like a T-shirt handy to put on for any Zoom meetings."
"In my computer bag."
"And warn us, please. We don't want to accidentally flash somebody walking through the kitchen."
She laughs.
=====
"T-ville Pool and Spa. This is Alexandra. How may I help you?"
"Hi, Alex!"
"Hi, Steve! I'll bet you're calling about that pump Ashley ordered."
"Yep. She probably told you it's getting worse."
"She did. Our supplier is still trying to hunt one down. That particular model has been discontinued."
"No drop-in replacement?"
"Nope. Sucks, doesn't it?"
"Uh. It's supposed to. That's how pumps work."
Alex laughs. "You're always full of it, aren't you?"
"It's an incurable condition. What's our backup?"
"I suspect formulating a Plan B is keeping Ashley up at nights. It seems like she's not been getting enough sleep lately."
"Oh? I certainly know she's dedicated to her job. I, for one, appreciate it. I'm going to put you on hold for a second here. Hang on."
Steve can't hold his laughter, knowing the real reason Ash is sleep-deprived. A couple of deep inhales, and he's calmed down enough to continue their conversation.
"I'm back. What is she suggesting at this point?"
"Rebuilding the manifold for a currently available pump. The new designs are a lot more efficient, so there's that."
"So in essence, coupla' thousand to rebuild, and the new pump will save... what?... two bucks a month in electricity?"
Alex laughs again. "Yeah. You got it. We'll keep looking. She thinks the leaky pump is good for about three more weeks, and we'll have to do something serious after that."
"Keep me informed, will you?"
"Sure will, Steve. If I haven't said it recently, thank you for your business, and I especially want to thank you again for referring us to your friends in Decatur. That was a really nice project."
"Well y'all did a great job. Enjoyed it last week, as a matter of fact. Tell Ashley I said 'hi'."
"Will do. You have yourself a great day."
"You too."
He ends the call, and now that it's ended, Debbie and Emily, both within earshot, are bent over their computers in guffawing laughter.
"If she only knew!" Debbie laughs.
"Oh, I think she suspects," Emily chuckles back. "Do recall she was pimping-out Logan."
"I dunno," Steve counters. "Ash seems really adept at keeping a firewall between work and her life. She only tipped her hand with us when I startled her by revealing we were literally from the same neighborhood out in California."
"Yeah.
Where is Cyan?
" Em asks. "Seems odd she's not here."
"City. Shopping."
"Oh? Where? Early start for her."
"Uh huh. Marshall's, and Target. Marshall's had some leggings on sale she really likes."
"Don't blame 'er. She
rocks
leggings!"
"No argument here."
Steve phone rings.
"That's an odd ring tone, Stevie. Haven't heard it before."
"Somebody really special. I need to take this outside."
"Oooooo, Stevie. Somebody I know about?"
"Yep."
She shakes her head, grinning that it's one of his loves. He steps out onto the patio.
"Hi, wonderful lady," he answers.
"How
are
you, Steven?"
"Super! How are
you?
"
"Can't complain. Remember last year?"
"You think I'd forget the
fabulous
time we had? Shame on you!" he chuckles.
"The alumni are pressing me to do it again. Cassandra is leading the charge with the varsity girls, and especially wants to invite you. You made quite the impression with her."
"She still her saucy self?"
"Mostly. She's settling down a little, though. Her academics were lagging and we had to have a come-to-Jesus moment. Doing much better now."
"Well, good. Smart girl, and a really quick wit. What's your thinking?"
"Similar deal, actually. Saturday casual tourney, pajama party, no men. 'Cept you, of course."
"When?"
"Only open weekend I had for the gym was at the end of spring break, on April 12th."
"Checking calendar here... well
I'm
in luck, at least. Not a party weekend. So I'm free. Count me in if you get enough responses to make it work."
"Will do. Steven?"
"Suzanne?"
"You can sleep with me if you want. Gonna bring Emily?"
"Of course I want, and Em, Deb, and Ellie will be at our sides just like last time. You aren't serious with anybody?"
"No, sadly. Both situations I was working on last time didn't pan out."
"That's a shame. You are too beautiful of a person to not have somebody."
"Thank you, Steven. Dating at my age is challenging, to say the least. Oh... you're welcome to tell Debbie we're working on this even though nothing is final."
"I will. She's in our kitchen right now."
"Why am I not surprised?" Suzanne chuckles. "I'll call when we have something."
"Standing by, Suze. Looking forward to it."
"Me too. G'bye, Steve."
"G'bye, Suzanne."
Steve ends the call, steps inside and sets the phone down on the charging pad in the kitchen. He leans into the counter, wistful in the memories of last year's reunion tournament, smiling in the recollection of many friends made.
