Part 322
Having tucked Jesse in, Howie joined Sarah as she typed on her laptop. He was exhausted and all he wanted to do was go to bed. Pulling his shirt over his head, he said, "Angel, come on to bed. Whatever you’re working on can wait."
"No, it can’t. Just be patient and keep your pants on, D."
"Woman, you wouldn’t even NOTICE if I didn’t have any on," teased Howie throwing his shirt at her.
Sarah tossed the shirt to the side and without looking up, said, "I’ve seen it before and it’s NOT like you’re as big as Nick."
"Sarah…"called Howie from the bed. When she looked around, he flipped his middle finger up at her.
Laughing, she said as she closed the laptop, "I got some place you can put that finger."
"I know you do," he growled as she moved to stand beside him so that his hand was between her legs. Knowing exactly how ticklish Sarah was where her butt rounded to meet her legs, he purposely reached up to grab her there and pulled her on top of him.
Sarah laughed and squirmed trying to get away from him but he held her tight tickling her until she had tears streaming.
"Say the magic word and I’ll stop," teased Howie.
"Please! Stop, Howie!"
Letting her go, Sarah rolled beside him and he kissed her. "What were you doing?"
"Talking to Vanessa and making plans for her and Ali to join us for Kevin’s birthday. Brian said Sonja was joining us during October and I thought it would be nice to get the whole gang together."
"And make AJ and Kevin happy?"
"Part of the plan," smiled Sarah as she ran her hand across Howie’s chest. "Now, all we need is for you to work things out with Nick and our little gang will be back to normal."
"I take it you and Becca talked."
"Before dinner and you didn’t have to talk to her. I could have worked things out with her on my own."
Howie rolled onto his side and ran his hand along the side of her face into her hair as he gazed into her eyes. "I just wanted to fix things for you. After all, it was my fault Bec was upset with you."
Sarah smiled softly, "I love you so much."
Leaning in, Sarah ran her tongue along the rim of his ear and Howie moaned, "God, Angel…you know what that does to me."
Without stopping, Sarah answered, "Uh huh."
Reaching for the waistband of his jeans, Sarah popped the snap and eased the zipper down. Slipping her hand inside his boxer, she took his growing erection and caressed tenderly. All the while, she continued to assault his ear with her tongue.
"Angel," gasped Howie.
"What, baby?" she purred.
"I need you."
"Good things come to those who wait, D. I want you to enjoy the feel of my hand on your hard cock, my breath on your skin, my body pressed against yours," she whispered into his ear. "I love the way our bodies move together. It’s so erotic, to watch your muscles tensing at my touch, the way you look at me when you’re about to cum, the sounds you make."
As she talked, Sarah kissed her way down his chest, swirling her tongue around his nipples. Kissing her way down his tight stomach, she worked her way to the waistband of his jeans.
Just as Sarah was about to slip his jeans off, there came a tiny knock at the door and Jesse trudged in sleepily carrying her Pooh Bear. "Daddy, I had a bad dream," she whimpered.
Sarah rested her head on Howie’s stomach in frustration as he said, "I’m sorry, Princess. It’ll be okay."
"Can I sleep with you and Mommy?"
Howie and Sarah exchanged looks questioning each other. Sarah shrugged her shoulders and whispered, "It’s up to you, D."
"Sure, Princess. Snuggle up with your mom and I’ll be back in a minute."
Sarah moved up to the pillows and Jesse curled up beside her as Howie got up to change clothes. Turning off the lights, Howie slid into bed with his girls and took them in his embrace, his hand resting on Jesse.
Howie whispered, "Is she asleep?"
Sarah nodded her head ‘yes’.
"I’m sorry, Angel."
Turning her head to kiss him, she whispered, "As long as you’re okay, I’m fine."
"I’m fine. I love you. Go to sleep."
Sarah closed her eyes and as Howie sang to her, she drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
Howie lay in the darkness of the bus listening to the sounds of Sarah and Jesse as they slept and the soft drone of the wheels as the bus rolled effortlessly through the night headed to yet another town. He’d always enjoyed traveling and having Sarah and Jesse with him made it that much better.
Caressing Jesse’s hair, he thought about how much his life had changed since she’d come into it. He couldn’t love her more if she’d been his own child. She had given him her love and trust so easily, the way Sarah had, and he vowed to never let her suffer the way Sarah had, to protect her at all cost. Drifting off to sleep, he pictured her on her wedding day and hoped that she’d be as happy as he and Sarah were.
