"Mom, Dad - we're getting married!" Paul's announcement elicited a gasp from his mother, Dana, and a smile from his father, Carl. Dana let out a little squeal of happiness and hugged Jenna, her soon to be daughter-in-law. At Dana's request, Jenna held out her hand and showed off the sparkling engagement ring that Paul had given her, while Carl shook Paul's hand and congratulated him. Paul was a little bit taller than his father, who was a few inches short of 6 feet, but had the same dark hair and brown eyes. Paul's relationship with his father was a little strained, but at least his dad was happy for him.
"That's quite a ring," Dana said to Paul, a little surprised at the amount of money Paul must have spent on it. At 23, Paul was still pretty new at his career as a video game developer, and while he was making good money, he had only recently moved out on his own and could not have built up too much savings yet. Dana thought the ring must have cost several thousand dollars at the least. Carl and Dana had never had a lot of money and she didn't like to spend much on luxuries. Her own engagement ring had a serviceable 1/4-carat diamond and while it would be nice to have a bigger one, it was the meaning of the ring that mattered. Plus, Carl always said that there was nothing prettier than a woman who didn't need to show off.
Paul knew what his mother was getting at, but in reply only said "It was worth every penny. You should have seen the look on Jenna's face when she saw it." Paul truly adored Jenna and would go to great lengths to make her happy. He often thought to himself that he was very lucky to have found someone who was so smart and funny, liked most of his hobbies, and was very attractive on top of it all. When he first talked to her at that college party a few years ago he was immediately smitten, and they spent the entire evening talking and ignoring everyone else. She was about his height with blue eyes, brown hair down to her shoulders and an athletic build. When she wasn't looking straight at him, he stole a few peeks at her attractive curves and medium bust. He wasn't too bad looking himself but he knew most people would consider her out of his league.
Jenna said, "It's so beautiful, but of course I would have loved any ring that Paul gave me. I am just so happy that I am going to be joining your family!" She gave Dana another hug and went to hug Carl as well but he abruptly turned to head into the kitchen and asked Paul to join him for a minute. Jenna's face fell slightly but then brightened again. She was used to how Carl didn't show her much warmth but had hoped that today at least he would be a little better. Paul always told her it was just how his dad was and that he was like that towards everyone, but she could tell it bothered him, too. Instead of dwelling on it she turned back to Dana and started telling the story of Paul's proposal.
In the kitchen, Carl turned to Paul and said 'Look son, it's great that you are getting married, but I think you are starting off on the wrong foot here. By giving Jenna such a big ring now, she is going to expect lots of expensive jewelry and presents all of the time, and you are going to spend a lot of time and money trying to keep her happy. Maybe you should exchange the ring for a smaller one."
Paul was used to his father's thoughtlessness when it came to making other people happy, but this was pushing it too far! "Dad, I am not going to take Jenna's ring back! First of all, this is the ring that I want her to have, and secondly, how can you take back an engagement ring and replace it with something cheaper and expect everything to be fine? She would dump me in a second, and rightfully so!"
Carl held up his hands as though surrendering. "Don't shoot the messenger, here. I am trying to prepare you for marriage. You want your wife to be happy so that you can be happy, I get it, just don't overdo it." With that, he went back into the living room with the women. Paul stared after him for a few seconds, reminding himself that it was stuff like this that made him so determined to be a better partner to Jenna than his dad always seemed to be to his mom.
As they were driving away from Paul's parents' house, he and Jenna talked about the very different reactions they got from Dana and Carl. Dana had asked what wedding dates they were thinking of and offered to help with any planning that we wanted help with. She had joked several times that Jenna was too good for Paul and so he had better treat her right. Carl had spent the rest of the evening watching TV with only an occasional comment on their discussion. There was a slight pause, however, when Dana asked what time they had to leave so that Jenna would have enough time to drive home after getting back to her car at Paul's apartment building. Paul and his parents did not ever talk about sex, and he thought it was a little too awkward to say that Jenna was pretty much already living with him now. He had assumed his parents know they were sleeping together, and had been for a long time, but the way Dana talked she thought he and Jenna were waiting until marriage, like she had done. Jenna knew that Dana was conservative and she didn't want her future mother-in-law to think poorly of her, so she recovered quickly and said that it was only a short drive.
"She would really be shocked if she knew what I am going to do to you when we get home," Paul said, giving Jenna a lusty glance.
"Ooh, do tell," Jenna purred, a small shiver running through her at the thought.
"I'd hate to spoil the surprise, but how about a preview?" Paul took one hand off of the steering wheel and ran it up the inside of Jenna's leg under her skirt. Jenna spread her legs wider to give him better access. He lightly grazed her mound and she moaned in encouragement. Paul pressed a little harder, dragging his middle finger up the middle of her slit, only a thin layer of cotton keeping him from her sex.
Jenna's breathing quickened and her nipples were poking through her blouse. She felt herself starting to get wet with desire. Squirming to press herself up at his fingers, Jenna bit her lower lip and reached over to return the favor.
"Uh uh," Paul said, "this one is just for you." He reached up and pinched her nipple lightly. "You know," he said, "those panties are just in the way at this point."
Jenna lifted her butt slightly and pulled her underwear down. She lifted her skirt so that Paul had complete access to her. He quickly looked down at her exposed pussy with its full lips and neatly trimmed pubic hair. It was a mouth-watering sight, and for a moment he considered pulling over somewhere to get right to it, but he managed to wrench his gaze back to the road.
With only 10 minutes left in their drive, he would content himself with just using his fingers. He reached back down to stroke her lips, drawing an extended "Yessss" from her. He pushed deeper and felt her wetness coating his fingers. He drew his index finger up to the top of her slit to find and lightly circle her clit. Jenna began panting and reached up to squeeze her breasts in each hand.
"I want you so badly," she moaned. "Drive faster!" After a few minutes of stroking her clit, Paul took his middle and ring fingers and slid them inside her pussy. She groaned hoarsely and started tugging on her nipples. He started moving his fingers in and out at an increasing pace, making sure to grind his palm against her clit each time.
"YES!," she screamed, "Don't stop - I'm so close! Yes! Yes! I'm coming!!"
Her insides spasmed around Paul's fingers, and her legs closed tightly to hold his hand in place. When her orgasm was finished, Paul pulled his fingers out and Jenna relaxed back against the seat, her eyes shining. "That was some preview," she said. "Now get us home so that I can get your cock in me!"
The second they entered the apartment, Jenna turned on Paul and threw her arms around his neck, smashing her lips against his in a passionate kiss. Paul cupped his hands under her butt and lifted her up, her legs going around his waist. Paul carried her to the bedroom as their tongues slid against each other. He set her down beside the bed and they took each other's shirts off, continuing to kiss passionately.
