Best Friends Forever (18 page)

I gave a
deep chuckle as my erection pressed against her sweet bottom.
 
“Oh, baby...I’ll sample your
wares
any
time.”
 
“Grant!”
 
Her face turned the prettiest shade of
pink.
 
She kissed me again before
returning to her seat and picking up her fork.
 
We spent the rest of dinner discussing our day, the upcoming school
break, and our pending trip home for our birthdays.
 
“Oh, by the way...” Meri sipped her wine
before continuing.
 
“I received a call
from that realtor we spoke with a few days ago.
 
You were in class so she called me.
 
She has three or four houses lined up for us to look at tomorrow
afternoon.
 
I told her I’d talk to you
this evening and give her a call in the morning.”
 
“Sounds good to me.
 
Did she say anything about them?”
 
“Just that they meet the list of requirements
I emailed her yesterday.”

Meri
suddenly got a deer-in-the-headlights look as her pink mouth formed a perfect
oh
.
 
I raised my eyebrows in inquiry.
 
“I know that look, baby...you’re up to
something.
 
We told the realtor what we
were looking for when we met with her on Monday.
 
Exactly what requirements did you email her
yesterday?”
 
“Just…just that we might
want one more bedroom than originally planned.”
 
She spoke so quietly that I could barely hear her and she didn’t look at
me.
 
I placed my fork next to my now
empty plate.
 
Turning to face her, I spoke
in a slightly stern voice.
 
“Meri...look
at me.”
 
She nervously looked up through
her lashes at me and I took her hands.
 
“First of all, baby, I have no problem with buying a larger house if
that’s what you want.
 
Tell me why you
want the extra bedroom?”

She smiled shyly. 
 
“I thought…I thought maybe…someday…in
the future we’d want the extra bedroom…for a nursery.” 
 
“A nursery? 
 
You…you mean for a…a baby?” 
 
I realized I was stammering but
 
a baby
? 
 
My heart was about to beat out of my
chest. 
 
Meri nodded
jerkily. 
 
I realized that I
had this huge goofy grin on my face but couldn’t seem to stop smiling. 
 
“You want to have a baby with
me?” 
 
Her grin matched
mine. 
 
“I have dreamed of
having your baby for years.” 
 
I
stood, pulling her in to my arms and hugging her tightly. 
 
“I think…you will make a wonderful
mother, sweetheart.” 
 
I waggled
my eyebrows at her. 
 
“Wanna
practice making a baby?” 
 
She
giggled and stepped out of my arms. 
 
“Let’s
get the dishes cleaned up, okay?” 
 
Wait
a minute. 
 
She drops a bomb
like that and then wants to do the dishes? 
 
She’s still up to something.

The two of
us made quick work of the dishes.
 
Soon
the leftovers were in the fridge and the kitchen was spotless.
 
I hung up the dishtowel and wrapped my arms
around her from behind.
 
“That was
delicious, baby.”
 
I nuzzled the soft
side of her neck and she shivered delicately.
 
Before I could do anything else, she wiggled out of my arms and took my
hand, leading me into the living room.
 
“I thought maybe...”
 
For some
reason, I was extremely nervous.
 
  
“Thought what, baby?” she asked with a
twinkle in her eye.
 
“I thought that
maybe we could skip the Friday night movie and...um...”
 
She gave me a slow, sexy smile.
 
“Oh, we’re not going to watch a movie.
 
I thought we could talk and then later, we
could have dessert...in the bedroom.”
 
What
is this woman up to?
 
“Dessert...in
the bedroom?
 
What...”
 
I licked my suddenly dry lips.
 
“What’s for dessert?”

She smiled
softly before pushing me down on the sofa.
 
Okay, she has definitely got my attention
.
 
I reached for her hips to pull her down with
me.
 
Stepping away, she suddenly knelt in
front of me.
 
“What...baby, you don’t
have to sub tonight.”
 
Placing her small
hands on my knees, she parted my thighs and scooted between them.
 
Okay, did it just get hot in here?
 
“Oh, but I’m not subbing tonight, professor,”
she murmured in a low, sexy voice.
 
“Then
what...”
 
She ran her hands down my
calves, then back up to my knees.
 
I could
feel the heat from her skin through my jeans and nearly jumped off the sofa
when her hands rested lightly on my thighs.
 
Okay, now it’s
really
getting hot in here.
 
I don’t know what she’s up to but so far...I
like it!
 
“Grant,” her low, sexy
voice began hesitantly.

“We’ve know
each other since the day you were born.”
 
She laughed softly.
 
“Our moms
even introduced us in the hospital the day my parents took me home.
 
We’ve been best friends our entire
lives.”
 
Where is she going with this?
 
“We’ve played together and fought together
both against others and with each other.
 
We’ve laughed together, cried together, sang together, and been grounded
together.
 
I have loved you my entire
life and I know that you love me, too.
 
You’re my very best friend in the world...”
 
Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes but she
blinked them away.
 
What?
 
After all the talk of buying a house and
having a baby...is she breaking up with me?
 
OH.
 
HELL.
 
NO!
 
Unable to stop myself, I grabbed her by the arms and yanked her up on my
lap until she was astraddle of me and our noses were practically touching.

I growled,
“You are
not
dumping me!”
 
Her
eyes grew wide as she got a look of shock on her face.
 
“What?”
 
Suddenly, she giggled, her eyes dancing.
 
“Of course not, silly.”
 
She cupped
my face with her small hands, leaned in and gave me a soft kiss.
 
Her eyes, filled with love, met mine.
 
“Grant Thomas, I love you with all my
heart.
 
It would make me the happiest
woman alive to be your wife.
 
Will you
marry me?”
 
My eyes widened with
shock.
 
Did she just propose to
me?
 
Holy crap!
 
Wait a minute; I’m supposed to be...
I
slammed my mouth down on hers, not caring how hard, just needing the contact
with my woman.
 
My little Meri gave as
good as she got as her mouth met mine with equal passion.
 
Wait!
 
The ring...I have to do this right.
 
I suddenly pulled my mouth from hers and pushed her off my lap and onto
the sofa next to me.
 
“I’m sorry,
baby.”
 
I gave her a quick kiss before
standing.
 
“I’ll be right back.”
 
With that I rushed out of the room and down
the hall.

When I
returned to the living room a few moments later, Meri was still in the same
spot on the sofa, a look of devastation on her face.
 
What?
 
Did I do something wrong?
 
Oh,
crap...she thinks I turned her down.
 
Oh,
baby, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
 
Knowing I hurt my beautiful Meri caused a sharp
pain to center in my chest.
 
I have to
fix this
.
 
Stopping in front of her,
I dropped to one knee.
 
“Meri,
sweetheart, I had this all planned out.”
 
I am so nervous, my tongue feels like it’s sticking to the roof of my
mouth.
 
I opened the ring box and held
it up.
 
“...you kind of beat me to the
punch, baby.
 
Meredith MacDonagh, will
you do me the very great honor of allowing me to become your husband?”
 
All my fears disappeared instantly with the
look on her face.
 
I only had a split
second to see her beautiful face fill with absolute joy before my little minx
let out an excited squeal and jumped me.

Meri flew
off the couch and landed on me as I knelt in front of her, knocking me to the
floor.
 
Her arms wrapped around my neck
as she began placing tiny, stinging kisses all over my face, nearly knocking
off my glasses.
 
Soon, we were locked in
a deep kiss that had my glasses fogging up and my cock screaming for
release.
 
When she pulled back, gasping
for breath, I grinned up at her.
 
“I
guess I can take that as a yes?”
 
She sat
up, astraddle of my waist, and held out her left hand.
 
Happier than I have ever seen her, she grinned
at me.
 
“Put the ring on me so I can show
you just how big a yes that is.”
 
My
heart practically leaping out of my chest, I removed the ring from its box and
carefully slipped it on her finger.
 
“Now, everyone will know that the most beautiful woman in the world
belongs only to me.
 
I love you,
Meri.”
 
“Oh, Grant, I love you.”

We ended up
on the sofa in one another’s arms, neither of us wanting to let go of the
other.
 
After several minutes of
snuggling and kissing, my erection was hard enough to pound nails and I knew I
had to have her.
 
“How about we skip
dessert and take this to the bedroom, baby, so I can show you just how much I
love you?”
 
“Oh, but professor, the
dessert I have in mind is perfect for the bedroom.”
 
I leaned over her, pushing her to lie back on
the sofa.
 
“Okay, my little minx…what
exactly is this dessert?”
 
Her hands
slowly crept up my chest as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
 
“Hmm…well, for me, I was thinking that I’d
like something…”
 
Drawing my head down,
she murmured in my ear.
 
“Long, thick,
hard, and…very
lickable
.”
 
That did it, my cock was now so hard it was
nearly painful.
 
Oh, man, I would die
to have her sweet little mouth on my cock.
 

Standing, I
placed my arm under her knees and swung her up in my arms.
 
“Oh, baby, if that’s what you want for
dessert, who am I to stand in your way?”
 
Heading to the bedroom, I stopped and looked down at her, “Are you
really not wearing any panties?”
 
She
grinned and winked at me.
 
“That’s for me
to know and you to find out, professor.”
 
“Minx.”
 
Her giggles surrounded us
as I carried her down the hall.

Two women, in their late fifties but
still attractive, stopped outside an apartment door as the redhead dug in her
purse, searching for keys. 
 
The
blonde glanced back down the hall. 
 
“I
can’t believe my son isn’t home at eight on a Saturday morning.” “Doris,
he’s a young man with needs and urges. 
 
He
probably had a date last night and hasn’t come home yet.” 
 
“Margaret! 
 
A mother doesn’t want to hear such
things about her youngest child.” 
 
Doris
grinned at her best friend. 
 
“What
are you going to say if Meri isn’t home?” 
 
Margaret raised her shapely brows at
her friend. “I’d say she was out shopping, trying to get an early start on
the day.” 
 
The women giggled
as Margaret placed her key in the lock. 
 
“Maybe
they’re together.” 
 
Doris
laughed, “From your mouth to God’s ears. 
 
We’ve tried to get those two together
for years.”

Margaret sighed, “Yes, but to no
avail. 
 
I’ve nearly given up
hope.”
 
She shakes her head.
 
“No, if I know my daughter, she’s probably at
that little farmer’s market swap meet thing she loves to frequent on
Saturdays.”
 
“Oh, Grant says that is the
most wonderful place to shop.
 
We should
go there later.”
 
Margaret unlocked and
opened the door.
 
The two women entered
to find the apartment quiet.
 
“Well, it
looks like Meri’s either not here or still in bed.”
 
Margaret pointed Doris toward the
kitchen.
 
“Why don’t you go make us some
coffee while I go check her room?”
 
“But,” Doris protested, her eyes wide.
 
“What if she’s in bed with a man?”
 
“Well then, we’ll just slip out quietly and go shopping.
 
But, I doubt she’s sleeping with anyone.
 
A mother knows these things.” Laughing
quietly, Doris headed into the kitchen.

~

Meri slowly came awake to hot,
open-mouthed kisses along her bare shoulder and arm as Grant’s large hand cupped
her breast, his fingers plucking at her now erect nipple.
 
“Mm...baby, you don’t know how good that
feels.”
 
His deep chuckle made her inner thighs
tingle.
 
“Want to bet.
 
From my perspective, it feels absolutely
fantastic.”
 
She slowly rolled over to
face him, her hands automatically resting on his broad chest.
 
“I could get used to waking up like
this.”
 
He gently brushed his lips over
hers.
 
“That’s good because I hope to
wake you up like this every day for the rest of our lives.”
 
Her smile was beautiful and full of joy.
 
“The rest of our lives...that sounds so
wonderful.”
 
He glanced at the ring on
her finger as he kissed her fingertips. “Yes, it does.”
 
He pressed a quick kiss to her mouth.
 
His hands cupped and teased her breasts as he
nibbled at her throat.

Pulling back, he grinned down at her,
a mischievous glint in his eyes.
 
“You
know...I seem to recall that you were the only one who got to have dessert last
night.”
 
She frowned up at him, confusion
on her face.
 
“But...what are you talking
about?”
 
His gaze roamed down over body
and back up to her eyes.
 
“And I’m
getting
very
hungry for a certain
little minx.”
 
He waggled his brows
comically.
 
Her pouty little mouth formed
a perfect
oh
and he knew she’d
figured it out.
 
“Oh, my.
 
Well, who am I to stand in the way of a
hungry man.”
 
Her giggles soon turned to
throaty moans as he pressed hot, wet, open-mouthed kisses from her throat to
the swells of her breasts.
 

His tongue made wet circles around her
pebbled nipples before drawing one inside his mouth as he sucked hard on it,
sending a sharp jolt of desire straight to her clit.
 
Leaving her now swollen and achy breasts,
Grant’s mouth traveled down over her soft stomach.
 
His tongue dipped into her belly button,
bringing soft giggles.
 
Grinning up at
her, he mock growled.
 
“This isn’t
supposed to be funny, woman.”
 
She giggled
again.
 
“Then don’t tickle.”
 
Grinning, his head disappeared below the
covers.
 
Soon, her giggles became soft
moans as she squirmed under the tender ministrations of his mouth and fingers.

~

Margaret started down the hallway to
Meri’s bedroom.
 
She walked quietly, not
wanting to wake Meri if she were still asleep.
 
Raising her hand to knock, she realized the door was partially
open.
 
Hearing sounds from inside the
room, she smiled, “Sounds like she’s awake.”
 
Opening the door, she stepped inside and instantly froze.
 
Margaret, shocked at the sight of her
youngest daughter, nude from the waist up and her eyes closed as she moaned in
pleasure.
 
She could see the top of a
man’s head under the sheets and couldn’t hold her tongue.
 
“Oh my sweet Lord!”
 
Meri’s eyes sprung open in shock at the sound
of her mother’s voice.
 
Seeing her mother
standing in the doorway, one hand over her mouth and a shocked look on her face,
“Mom!”
 
Meri screamed as she jerked the
sheet up over her breasts, uncovering Grant’s bare legs in the process.

Rolling over, Grant poked his head out
from under the sheet as he attempted to cover his lower half which was becoming
more exposed by the second.
 
“Aunt
Margaret!” he practically shrieked, grabbing for his glasses on the night
table.
 
Margaret, still in the doorway,
recovered from her shock quickly.
 
A huge
grin on her face, she turned her head slightly and called down the hall.
 
“Doris!
 
I think there’s something, or someone, here you’re going to want to
see.
 
Hurry!”
 
The couple on the bed, their eyes wide, stared
open-mouthed at one another before staring at Margaret.
 
They heard footsteps hurrying down the
hallway moments before Grant’s mother rushed into the room, freezing at the
sight of the couple in the bed.
 
“Grant!”
 
“Mom!”
 
“Aunt Doris?”
 

Doris looked at her best friend.
 
The two women smiled, pleased with their
discovery.
 
Turning back to the young
people sitting in the bed, trying to cover their nude bodies, Margaret propped
her hands on her hips.
 
“Well, it’s about
time,” she declared.
 
“Yes,” Doris chimed
in.
 
“What took you two so long?”
 
Grant and Meri looked at one another,
confused.
 
“What…what are you two talking
about, Mom?”
 
Grant asked as he pulled
Meri close to his hip.
 
“We’ve known you
two belong together for years.”
 
“That’s
right,” Margaret stated.
 
“We’ve been
planning your wedding since the two of you were born.

Meri looked confused.
 
“But…what if…”
 
Grant gently kissed her forehead.
 
“What if we had never gotten together?” she
asked.
 
“We would have found our way to
this point eventually, sweetheart.
 
Our
mothers are right.
 
We belong
together.”
 
She raised her hand to caress
his face and his mother gasped.
 
“Look,
Margaret.
 
She’s wearing an engagement
ring.”
 
Both women laughed excitedly and
hugged one another.
 
“So when did you
propose, Grant?”
 
“Actually, Mom, Meri
proposed to me last night.
 
I had the
ring ready and my little minx beat me to it.”
 
Margaret laughed.
 
“That’s my
little girl.”
 
Turning to Doris, she began
pushing the other woman out the door.
 
“Let’s let these two lovebirds shower and get dressed.
 
We’ve got a wedding to work on.”
 
With that, the two women hurried out, closing
the door behind them.

Meri and Grant stared at one another
for a moment after the door closed.
 
“I
can’t believe our mothers caught us in bed together,” he groaned.
 
“We are going to get married so I don’t care
if they know we’re sleeping together.
 
Just be glad it wasn’t my dad and brothers.”
 
She laughed when he groaned again.
 
She pushed him down and climbed astraddle of
his waist.
 
“Now, where were we when out
mothers interrupted?”
 
His hands cupped
her shapely hips as she bent down to give him a sultry kiss.
 
“As much as I’d like to pick up where we left
off, our mothers are just down the hall.”
 
“So?”
 
“So, they expect us to
appear shortly, showered and dressed for breakfast.”
 
“Well…we do need to shower…” she grinned
slyly.
 
He raised up and swiftly kissed
her.
 
“Baby, I like the way you
think.
 
It is so
sexy
.”
 
Giggling, she jumped
off the bed and headed for the bathroom.
 
“Race you to the shower.”
 
He
quickly leapt up and chased her into the bathroom, his laughter mingling with
her giggles of delight.
