Chapter 10

Previous

Like most guys on the job, I can’t quite keep away from the house even when I’m off. Sookie made a bunch of oatmeal cookies for the guys, so I’m taking them up to the house. Plus I want to see if Godric is interested in Sookie’s friend. As I’m walking up to the house the guys are just getting out of their turnouts. The smell of smoke is pretty thick in the air but then I heard a call come up for a fire in the next town over where they needed support.

“Hey guys,” I say as I walk through the bay door. Godric is smeared with soot but otherwise seems fine. I hold up the big basket full of cookies. “Sookie sends treats.”

“Are you going to marry this one? If not, I will,” Godric tells me, eyeballing the basket.

“Thinking about it. She met Mom on Saturday and loved her.” I hand over the basket. Mom’s not a bad person but she can come off a little abrasive. She means well, though.

“Holy shit, yeah, she’s a keeper. Where did you meet her? I need to find one,” he chuckles as he goes in for a cookie.

“A club,” I shrug. “It’s funny you say that. Remember the redhead that was checking you out during the fire prevention assembly?”

“The one with the perfect rack?”

“I wasn’t looking, so sure,” I chuckle. “Anyway, she wants to meet you.”

“I’ll give it a shot,” he shrugs. “She was pretty hot. I’m surprised you missed her.”

“I was too busy looking at Sookie.” I pull out my phone to show him the picture Sookie sent me. She and Jessica both teach third grade. The picture is from last Halloween. Jessica was the Little Mermaid.

“Shit, you got it bad.” He takes my phone to get a good look at her. “I bet she’s naughty in bed. It’s always the sweet ones that are the kinkiest. I don’t mind meeting her at all.”

“I don’t know if she’s into kink or not, but I’ll tell Sookie it’s a go,” I say. I take my phone back and slip it in my back pocket.

“Cool. Are you guys setting us up on a blind date, or what?”

“We were thinking of going to Merlotte’s for drinks or going bowling as a group, but if you would rather it be just the two of you I’m sure that can be arranged.” I don’t care either way.

“Hmm, I think I’d rather do a solo date. Otherwise she’ll be giggling with Sookie all night and I won’t get a chance to know her,” he says. “The whole point of a date is to get to know the person, right?” He shoves half of a cookie into his mouth.

“You just want to make friends with her tits and not worry about Sookie cockblocking you,” I snicker.

“Wouldn’t you do the same? Your girl has a pretty impressive set of jugs too.”

“She does, and don’t talk about them.” If that doesn’t give away her status in my life, not much else would, shy of a wedding ring.

“You going ring shopping after this, Mr. Stackhouse?” Godric deadpans.

“Not yet.”

“Uh huh. At least you met a cool girl. I’m happy for you, man. These cookies are fucking amazing too.”

“I know. I have a ton of them in my freezer.” I grab one from the basket anyway. “I do love her though.”

“I know,” he smiles. “It’s written all over your face when you talk about her.”

“It’s pretty awesome,” I smile. I don’t even give a shit if the guys give me shit for it. They don’t, usually, if they like the girl and they know a guy is really happy. Sookie was smart and won them over with food.

“It’s nice to see you so happy. I’m sure I’ll get there one day. Hey, maybe Jessica is the one and we can do all sorts of couple/friend things,” he chuckles.

“Did Sookie get a hold of your balls too?” I snort.

Godric laughs and says, “No, I’m just trying to be a supportive friend. It’s nice that I like the one I’m being supportive over.”

“It does help.”

“Hey, Godric, don’t Bogart the baked goods,” Pardloe shouts.

“Come get ’em!” he shouts back.

“Careful, Pardloe, you’re getting fluffy around the middle,” our rotund chief says. He’s in fatty denial himself these days. He’s trying to convince us it’s muscle but he jiggles and… Ew.

“Says the Pillsbury Doughboy,” Godric whispers so only I can hear him.

I chuckle and reply, “Now, now, you know he’s using John Favreau as his fitness model.”

He laughs at that. “He’s doing a fine job of it too.”

“You’re just jealous because he hasn’t invited you to the gun show. He offered Sookie VIP tickets.”

“Please say she turned him down.”

“She politely declined and said she was pro-gun control,” I laugh.

“She’s definitely a keeper,” Godric snorts. “Hey, I need to shower.”

“Yeah you do. I’ll give Sookie your number, yeah?”

“Yep. You can tell her I’ll be waiting for Jessica to call me.”

“Good deal. See you later.”

“See ya.” Godric turns to head inside.

As I walk out of the firehouse I send Sookie a text message with Godric’s number. She’s at school so I don’t expect a response. I do, however, want to surprise her. We went to a home improvement store on Sunday so I could pick up some supplies. We walked all over the place and she pointed a fan she liked. There’s a spot for it in the living room but right now she doesn’t have one there. I know I can install it, so I decide to go to the store and pick one up for her.

After I get the fan I stop by the store for dinner stuff. I’ve got a taste for philly cheesesteaks. I get the steak, onions, rolls and some cheese whiz, and a box of ice cream Snickers bars.

Since she doesn’t lock her sliding door, I go in that way and get to work installing the fan. With any luck I’ll have it done by the time she gets home. Not that she’ll need a fan in the winter to keep the house cool but she’s like me and likes to keep the air moving. I always have a fan on.

I’m in the shower when I hear Sookie call out to me and I smile. I don’t know if she noticed the fan but I’ll find out.

“In here!” I holler.

She comes into the bathroom a moment later. “This is a nice surprise,” she says, peeking into the curtain at me.

“Well I thought I’d make you dinner. I got stuff for cheesesteaks.”

“I saw that. You also got that fan I was checking out,” she says. “You didn’t have to do the for me.”

“I know. You didn’t have to bake four batches of cookies for the guys either,” I remind her. I lean over to give her a kiss. “But I hope you won’t make me take it down.” Ceiling fans are heavy.

“No, babe, I love it. Hurry up in here, I want to kiss on you,” she smiles.

“Yes, ma’am.” I pull back and grab the soap so I can wash up. It only takes another minute or two for me to finish up. I get out of the tub and wrap a towel around my hips. I find Sookie changing out of her clothes in the bedroom.

“Jess is excited about meeting Godric. I think she messaged him before she left work,” Sookie tells me as she shimmies out of her pants, taking her panties with them.

“Good for her. I hope that works out. Godric loved the cookies, by the way.”

“Good.” Her top comes off, followed by her bra. She moves to her dresser naked to look for some shorts and a tank top.

“He was surprised that you liked Mom.” I remove the towel from around my waist to dry my arms.

“She’s great, why wouldn’t I like her?” Sookie bends over in front of me to slip her shorts over her feet, making me groan.

“She isn’t for everyone. Other moms used to get snotty with her for not thinking her kids are the most amazing little darlings to walk the earth,” I explain.

“She’s realistic. She clearly loves you, but she didn’t want to give you false confidence. I wish more parents were like her.”

“At a parent/teacher conference once she told Scott right in front of his history teacher to quit being a fuck up,” I laugh. The teacher didn’t know what to think.

“She’s a classy lady,” Sookie laughs with me as she slips her tank top over her head.

“As you found out, she doesn’t like to mince words.” Mom is blunt and direct.

“There’s nothing wrong with that.” She piles her hair in a bun on top of her head before walking over to me. Sookie snakes her arms up around my neck to pull me down for around sweet kiss. “She gave me you which automatically makes her cool.”

“I am her greatest achievement,” I agree.

“Does she agree with that?” I get another soft kiss on my chin.

“I don’t know. I never asked,” I smile that cheesy smile that makes her laugh.

“Well, I haven’t met the rest of the clan but you’re definitely my favorite,” she giggles.

“I better be,” I growl.

“Mmm, keep that up and we might miss dinner,” she purrs, nipping at my neck.

“Dinner won’t take long to make. Fifteen minutes tops,” I reply. Before she knows it she’s being tossed on the bed.

“You should’ve told me to stay naked.” Sookie’s hand slips down the front of her shorts and I can see it moving over her lower lips.

“I didn’t think I needed to.” I reach down to stroke myself and I see lust flash in her eyes.

She loses the shorts in record time. Her thighs part, giving her plenty of room to play. Sookie keeps her eyes on my hand as she pushes two fingers into her core, slowly pumping in and out.

“I was on autopilot,” she moans quietly.

“Are you getting nice and wet for me, babe?” I can see her fingers are shiny when she pulls them out.

“Very wet.” She reaches down with her other hand to stroke her clit.

“Good girl.” I step closer to her and rub my tip against her, making her moan.

“Should I keep going?” She pulls her fingers out to wrap her hand around my cock, pumping slowly for me. “I can always suck your dick…”

“Whatever you want, babe,” I reply.

“Come up here so I can suck on it,” she says, rubbing my tip around her opening, getting me nice and wet.

I move around to the side of the bed and Sookie shifts a little so I can slide into her mouth. Her lips wrap around my tip and her tongue flicking against it makes my cock swell a bit more. She’s on her back so I have a perfect view of her fingers pumping in and out of her wet pussy. She reaches up with one hand to lift my shaft so she can lick and suck my heavy sac.

“I’ve been thinking about your perfect cock all day, babe,” Sookie purrs before she moves my tip into her mouth again.

“That must be pretty distracting with all the booger munchers on the loose,” I reply and reach down to tug her left nipple.

“Mmm, you have no idea. Slide your cock in deep, Eric.” She wraps her lips around my head, trying to suck me in as deep as possible.

I give her what she wants, going all the way to the back of her throat, making her gag. I pull back and then do it again… and again… and again until she pulls her fingers out of her pussy. I pull out of her mouth and move around to the other end of the bed. I grab her thighs and pull her ass closer to the edge.

“How do you want it, babe?” I rub circles around her clit.

“Hard,” she breathes.

“Put me where you want me.” I grab onto her legs again for leverage.

Sookie reaches down to grab my shaft. She rubs my head up and down her slit until she lines me up with her entrance.

“Here.” She let’s go and brings her hands up to play with her nipples.

I drive into her, making Sookie’s back arch. Goddamn, she’s drenched. I pull almost all the way out and then drive in again, pulling Sookie closer to me, giving Sookie the hard fuck she wants. It seems like only a minute or two pass before her walls are pulsing.

“Yes! That’s it. Give it to me!” she cries out. Her eyes screw shut as her back arches up again. She’s going to cum any second.

I don’t think she knows how sexy it is when she’s turned on like this. The pulsing and milking of her walls takes me over the edge with her and we both cum with loud shouts. This is why fucking her is fun. I know I’ll get a happy ending but I have no idea how I’ll get there.

“Fuck, I love you,” I pant.

“Mmm, I love you too.” She wraps her legs around my hips and reaches up to pull me down on top of her tiny, sweaty body.

I press kisses along her neck and over her jaw to her lips. My hips rock lazily while we make out. It keeps me from going soft and my girl seems to be seriously enjoying it.

“Did you know you’re my favorite person,” she whispers, reaching down to squeeze my ass.

“Nope,” I smile. It’s nice to hear that though. “Did you know that you’re mine?”

“Nope,” she shakes her head. “Did you also know we’re one of those disgustingly sweet couples that make single people want to vomit,” she giggles. “And I wouldn’t change it for a second.”

“I don’t think we’re that bad,” I reply. If they knew what freaks we are, they might feel differently.

“We can be, but I don’t care. What I care about right now is how good your cock feels stretching me.” Her hips rock up, rubbing her clit against my pubic bone.

“Mmm… Like this?” I swivel my hips and her walls pulse.

“Just like that,” she breathes.

I lift her up to scoot her closer to the center of the bed. Her legs stay wrapped around me and I keep swiveling my hips as I find a slow, deep rhythm. My lips move along her shimmering collarbone and up to her ear.

“I love that I have everything with you. If we never set foot in that club again I wouldn’t miss anything. You’re the best thing that club had to offer,” I whisper to her and I mean it.

Sookie reaches up to tilt my face so we’re eye to eye. “And I’m all yours, baby. You’re the best thing too.” She lifts her head to press a lingering peck to my lips.

I keep it slow, gradually building up to the next orgasm. It’s probably the most intense thing I’ve ever experienced but it convinces me that Sookie Stackhouse is the one for me. Maybe it seems superficial because it’s a sex discovery, but I know what I feel and I’m still feeling it an hour later when we’re in the kitchen together making dinner. I see it in the little looks we give each other and the smiles we try to hide or the giggles for no reason.

“I’ve never been this happy. I just want you to know that.” Dad used to make little declarations like that too. He never wanted anyone to wonder how he felt, just in case.

She smiles over at me. “I can’t remember a time when I was this happy either. Thank you.”

I give her a wink and toss the onion slivers into the sauté pan to start caramelizing. Sookie pops up on the counter to watch me. This feels good. I could get used to this.

“You know, I was thinking, I can give you a house key so you can come in the front door like someone that belongs here and not a cat burglar.”

“I used the unlocked sliding door, thank you very much,” I chuckle. “But I’ll take a key. I’d give you one for my place but I won’t be living there much longer.”

“Oh yeah? Where you heading?”

“I don’t know yet. I usually live in my reno houses until I sell them, then I can tell the buyers firsthand about the neighbors and whatnot,” I explain. Plus, I’m paying the mortgage anyway, so why not? Why pay rent twice?

“Hmm, well… you’re welcome to come here when you’re ready to sell…” She looks a little nervous.

“You sure about that? You want my stinky, dutch ovening ass moving in here?” I smile. I’m forbidden from coming within 100 yards of her after having Herveaux’s four alarm chili.

“I’m sure. You’re pretty and have a cute butt,” she giggles. “And when you’re gassy I can ship you off to the firehouse.”

I laugh at that. “Oh I’m a man with no country after that chili.”

“Then you better save up for a hotel,” she snorts. She crooks her finger to get me to walk to her. I stand between her legs, looking down into her pretty blue eyes. “I love you and I love waking up with you. I feel at home when your arms are around me. Yes, I want your stinky butt with me as much as possible. I’d love to gain you as a roommate.”

“Then you have a new roommate,” I reply. I don’t have to think about it. She’s the one I want to be with. End of story.

“Good.” She kisses my chin. “We may need to bring your giant bed over here so your feet don’t get cold.”

“We may need to build an addition onto the house. If we put my bed in there, there won’t be room for much else.”

“It’s your house too. You’re welcome to do whatever you want,” she smiles.

“Oh yeah? So I can put in double wall ovens here and one of those six burner stoves that makes you wet?” I tease. Well kind of. I know she wants to do it.

“I’d have an engagement ring for you by the end of the day,” she says seriously.

“You’re cute.” I kiss her and move over to stir the onions.

“You have no idea how bad I want those things,” she replies. “Teachers don’t make that much money or I’d have them already.”

“It’s why I flip houses on the side. Keeps me busy and it’s good supplemental income.” I’m not wealthy by any means but I’ve lived pretty frugally and I’ve wisely invested my money. Eighty percent of the profits from the houses I’ve sold has gone into savings, so I’ve done well. Sookie and I haven’t talked about finances yet, but we will.

“Smart. I’m sure you’ll get sick of me during the summer when I get bored.”

“I’ll put you to work,” I wink.

“Your own personal cocksucker while you work?” she guesses.

“I was thinking tile installation, but that works too. And it’ll keep you quiet,” I smirk.

“Win/win,” she chuckles.

“Exactly.”

I love her sense of humor. There are a lot of kinks to iron out before we make big commitments to each other, but for now I’m happy with the way things are. I love her, she loves me and I think we’re seeing a similar future. I can’t ask for more than that.
