This story is definitely a slow burn. I could have written into in two parts. Chapter 4, which is coming next week, will be the final part and bring this story to its end.
Chapter 3
It's the morning of Thanksgiving and Jessica wakes up in a panic -- hungover a bit from last night, nervous that Ivan will be coming to her house in a few short hours and a bit overwhelmed as she was responsible for cooking a majority of the dinner and not all that adept of a chef. Of course their guests would bring some things but the majority of the meal would be cooked by Jessica and she knew should have gotten started an hour ago.
"Hey babe," Said Hunter still half asleep. "good morning. Fun night last night. Maybe we can repeat tonight in that white lingerie you know I love."
Jessica laughed "I guess I'll just be the stereotypical house wife today while I cook your dinner during the day and put on something sexy at night."
"That sounds wonderful!" Hunter exclaimed giving her back some of her sarcasm.
"But back in reality I really need your help. Can you run to the store and get everything on this list?"
Hunter looked at the list and rolled back over in bed.
"No like right now, Hunter. Or you're going to have to explain to our guests why we're eating at 10 pm."
"Ok, ok, I'm getting up. I'll be back from the store in an hour. Unless you're up for some morning fun..." said Hunter half joking.
"Get out of here now, Hunter!" shouted a clearly overwhelmed Jessica.
Fast forward four or five hours and the guests are starting to arrive. Neither Jessica or Hunter have any family nearby so it's a small group of mostly friends. One guy from Hunter's office and his wife, a friend of Jessica's from college and her husband and their next door neighbor. And then Ivan, of course.
The first doorbell rings and Hunter answers. He greets everyone as they come through the door but surprisingly Jessica is nowhere to be found.
"Jessica! Babe! Everyone is here. Where are you?" shouts Hunter.
"Coming!" Jessica yells back as she walks down the stairs and into their living room. She looks stunning -- hair and make-up done perfectly as usual, a short black skirt with black tights underneath and a tight, mid-riff sweater that accentuates her perky c cups and toned pilates stomach.
"It sure took you a while to get ready, Jess," said Hunter.
"Oh please. I just wanted to look presentable for our guests," she replied.
Jessica started making her rounds to greet everyone -- giving each guest a hug and telling them how happy she was they could make. When she gets to Ivan, she does the same. At 7'2" Ivan can make anyone feel small, but petite 5'4" 115 lb. Jessica felt super tiny -- really only coming mid-way up his torso.
"It's great to see you, Ivan" she began to say before she felt a familiar bulge push up against her exposed stomach. She couldn't imagine how he could be hard already. I mean he'd just arrived and had only seen her for a few seconds. Jessica knew she looked sexy -- subconsciously knowing she put on this outfit because Ivan was coming -- but didn't think she'd have that effect on him so quickly. Despite his disbelief, she was definitely a bit flattered. Her mind instinctively went back to the same thoughts that led to her powerful orgasm while making love to Hunter last night. But she was self-aware to quickly snap out of it -- she wasn't some fifteen year old girl with a crush after all.
"Thanks again for inviting me. I've definitely been a bit homesick so I've really been looking forward to joining you all," he replied.
Jessica and Hunter introduced Ivan to the group. Everyone was excited to meet him -- most of the people at dinner went to school where Jessica taught and couldn't get enough of his D1 basketball stories. Questions about his life, his plans to go pro and even if he had a girlfriend flew at Ivan rapid fire as if he was on a game show.
"Come on, everyone," shouted Jessica. "Dinner will be ready in about ten minutes and we have a few bottles of wine we'd like to crack open. Sorry, Ivan -- you're not 21 -- no drinks for you."
"Haha that's ok. I don't really drink anyway. Although in Latvia there is no drinking ago so...." he replied.
"Well then. Cheers to you and your big win last night. Just don't tell coach we let you drink," said Jessica as she poured him a glass of red wine and held her glass up to cheers.
Over the next few hours, everyone was having a great time drinking, catching up and watching football. Jessica cooked a delicious dinner that all the guests were raving about. She knew she wasn't a great cook so all of the compliments combined with the wine had her feeling quite proud. Before they knew it, there were eight empty bottles of wine on the counter and everyone was a bit tipsy.
