The noise was just as distracting as it had been the first time and Elaine wanted to immediately turn tail and head back outside. She steadied her nerves and allowed Ethan to lead her over to a rickety-looking card table with stacks of beer and other various alcohols displayed upon it. She watched as Ethan popped open a beer and dumped it into her empty cup. He added a shot of liquor, but Elaine didn’t get a chance to see what it was. She took her drink from Ethan when he offered it and didn’t complain when he took her by the hand and led her back into the fresh night air.
The weather was starting to cool down drastically and Elaine wondered if they were in for another cold spell. Her mother would be upset considering her tomato plants would not survive another drafty week, but Elaine had to admit she enjoyed the cooler weather. She smiled into the night as she took a sip of her drink without worrying this time, and made an appreciate noise when she tasted the hint of honey.
“What’s in this?” she asked as she turned to Ethan. He was looking up at the sky contemplatively.
“Hm? It’s a secret recipe,” he told her as he looked back down and seemed to come back to Earth.
“I like it,” she told him as she took another gulp. It made her feel pretty warm and fuzzy, so she slowed down on the sipping and decided to look up at the night sky with her partner in crime.
“If you don’t mind my asking, you don’t seem like you’re too happy about coming to a party. Why come in the first place? Are you a cop?” Elaine felt a girly giggle bubbling up and stifled it with her free hand.
“No, I’m not a cop. Jody invited me, and she asked me to bring beer. I was kind of distracted when I told her I’d come, and I felt guilty knowing I had promised to bring something. So I sucked it up and decided it was about time I got out of the house.” Way to sound like a crazy loser, she thought as she sucked in another large gulp of beer and liquor. Maybe it would help ease some of the burn on her cheeks.
“Seems like a fair enough reason. I was kind of hoping you were a cop, though,” he told her with a wink. The small gesture sent a shiver down her spine and she chalked it up to being drunk. It wasn’t that Ethan wasn’t handsome with his high cheekbones, dark hair and dark eyes. Not to mention that in these parts, he was kind of exotic. It was turning her on a little, but she was afraid it would wane once she realized what she was doing.
It was better to play it safe.
“So isn’t the entire fire department here? Seems kind of lame that only one guy gets invited,” she said as a way to make conversation. Elaine didn’t want to seem greedy, but she’d prefer he stayed outside with her. It was a heck of a lot less lonely and Ethan made good company. He was quiet but knew when to say something in order to make it a little less awkward.
“The rest of ‘em had to stay back and actually wait for the call. Don’t worry, they’re dressed and sitting in the fire trucks as we speak.” His hand had casually found hers in the dark and she wondered if he was this touchy-feely with everyone he met.
“It was that bad last time, huh?” she wanted to sound like she was joking, but the reminder of her husband hanging in the conversation was making her feel uneasy.
“Don’t be nervous. I won’t let anything bad happen.” Ethan sounded so sure of himself that she almost believed one man could make a difference, but she knew from experience it couldn’t.
Elaine was about to ask him what it was like to be a fireman when her cell phone buzzed in her pocket. She excused herself momentarily and pulled it out to see that it was her mother sending her a text.
Where are you? It read. Elaine was rudely reminded that her mother was at home, most likely alone at this hour of the night, and her son was sleeping upstairs. She needed to get home before her mother got any bright ideas and started reading the cards or doing something else that would distract her for too long.
“I’m sorry, but it’s late and I should get home.” Elaine tried to hide the forlorn tone from her voice and finished off her drink. She’d get a good night’s sleep and wake up in the morning with a dry mouth and a minor ache to remind her of why she should avoid Jody’s invitations to parties. However, the final buzz she got from the alcohol would be worth it. She’d sleep without nightmares that night, she was sure.
“I saw you come in with those boys in the mustang. You don’t have a ride?” Ethan took her cup from her and tossed it into a trashcan not too far from where they stood.
“You offering?” Part of her wanted him to say no and the other was eager for him to drive her home.
“It’s not a mustang, but I think it’ll do,” Ethan said as he pulled out a set of keys. He reached down to take her free hand again and she idly wondered why she would allow such a brazen move. They were no longer in the dark as they walked in front of the entrance to the barn, and everyone who wanted to look could see that she was leaving with the tall, dark fireman.
A tiny voice at the back of her mind wondered if people were judging her in that instant. She was two years out from being a widow, but should she wait five before she was even interested in anyone? Then that tiny part of her mind chastised her for even going there. Ethan was giving her a ride home. It was as simple as that.
“Whoa, wait. You’re a fireman and you’ve had a beer. Shouldn’t you call a cab or something?” He didn’t look dazed or tipsy in the least, but she knew that allowing him to get into a vehicle when he’d had alcohol could put his entire career at risk.
“I’ve had water all night, sweetheart. I’ve seen one too many cars wrapped around trees to make that mistake,” Ethan told her as he looked down at his keys and pressed a button on the fob. A set of headlights flashed in the night and was low to the ground.
Elaine stopped short when she saw she was about to climb into the passenger seat of an Audi with just two seats, which told her it was fast. “Wow, this is a nice car,” she said as he helped her sit down and pulled the seatbelt forward.
“Thanks, saved up for it for a while,” Ethan told her before he closed the door. He made his way around to the driver’s side and turned on the heated seats. They felt good against her chilled thighs and back, and the blues playing from the speakers almost calmed her into falling asleep.
Ethan drummed his fingers on the wheel as he drove. He wasn’t slow like a grandmother, but he seemed to take his time as he weaved through the back streets and carefully turned down his headlights when the high beams weren’t necessary any longer. Elaine watched the way his capable hands slid over the wheel as he drove and wondered if any man had ever looked as sexy as he did behind the wheel. There was a graceful power to his movements that fascinated her.
Before she knew it, she was unbuckling her seatbelt and leaning over the console to get a whiff of the cologne mixed with the scent of heady male she had gotten earlier.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Ethan’s words were a contrast to the deep vibration of his voice that told her he felt just as lit up as she was. He took a left where he should have taken a right onto her street and pulled over next to a clump of bushes.
“Don’t tell me you’re not feeling it. You’ve been holding my hand all night and giving me those wistful looks,” Elaine breathed into his ear as she reached her hand down to feel his strong thigh. She was feeling particularly warm due to the alcohol, and she wasn’t going to waste the opportunity when she hadn’t felt anything toward a man for a long while.
“Elaine,” he told her firmly as he wrapped his fingers around her wrist and gently pulled her hand away. “You’ve had two beers and a shot of whiskey. I’m not about to take advantage of you,” he chastised gently as he turned to her.
“You’re not. I’m perfectly capable of making my own decisions, Ethan, and I’m telling you right now that if you don’t kiss me, I’m going to get out and walk home. This is your only chance.” He seemed to hesitate, and it was long enough that Elaine felt embarrassed and guilty about her actions. She turned away from him quickly and groped for the door handle, but she didn’t find it soon enough.
Ethan wrapped his fingers around the back of her neck and drew her back to him. He pulled her easily over the console and his lips found hers. They were soft, full, and moist. Ethan’s teeth grazed against her upper lip and she felt his tongue trace the seam of her lips. His warm, large hand fell onto the small of her back and her knees fell to either side of his hips, as she got comfortable. Elaine had to arch her head down to kiss him, and immediately opened her mouth to him when he pressed with the tip of his tongue.
Fire shot through her veins and warmth pooled between her legs as he explored her mouth. Their tongues danced around each other and swirled effortlessly. Elaine wondered what it would be like to have him between her legs, lapping at her nub and biting it just like he was nibbling her lips. He caught her bottom lip between his teeth and gave a gentle tug.
They stopped for just an instant to look at each other, neither one of them saying a word. Then she leaned down and picked up the kiss where it had left off. Ethan’s free hand turned off the car and the interior light dimmed, leaving the two of them in the dark. His hand on her back pulled her closer and she could feel the warmth radiating from his erection. She wanted to reach down and free it but wondered if he would stop their antics if she did.
Ethan’s left hand was on her right hip. Gently, as if he were peeling off a Band-Aid, he lifted up the hem of her shirt and his bare flesh touched hers. “Oh,” she whispered at the jolt of electricity that seemed to shoot through her entire body.
After that, everything seemed to become a blur. Ethan’s hand roamed higher until he was fumbling at her bra clasp with both hands. His tongue was doing wicked things to her lips and he was nibbling at her neck in between trying to get the clasp undone. When it finally broke loose, she felt her breasts sigh with relief at being released and helped Ethan pull off her shirt. He took his time and trailed kisses as he removed each bra strap. When she was topless before him, he held her at arm’s length and ran his knuckles gently across her cheek.
“You’re more beautiful than I imagined,” he told her gently. Elaine averted her gaze and felt her cheeks flush at his absurd words. She’d had a child, and she knew that some things were not the same as they once were. “Hey, look at me,” he demanded gently. He used his thumb and forefinger to guide her chin so that she would look him in the eyes.
Words were unnecessary after that. Ethan told her with his gaze just how much he thought she was beautiful, and then he raked his teeth against one of her erect nipples and sent her over the edge. It had been months since she’d even given herself the pleasure of her own hand, so the touch of a real live man’s tongue flicking over her nipple sent her into a premature orgasm. She arched and gasped as her hips writhed on his lap.
Ethan reached between her legs and felt the warmth confirm that she had indeed come without him even having to touch her nub. He seemed both shocked and pleased when she became warm and loose in his hands. He took her hips and pulled her in close so that she could feel the hard length of him poking out of the top of his jeans. The he took her other nipple between his teeth and fondled the free one with his thumb and forefinger, sending waves of pleasure through her body.
Elaine throbbed and squirmed as she tried to pull her pants down, but Ethan wasn’t helping her. He removed her hands gently and put them on his shoulders, never losing pace with his tongue and his teeth. His eager lapping at the pink peaks sent her over the edge a second time and she cried out his name. She had feared the wrong name would be spoken between her lips, but Ethan’s came out clear and loud.
“God, twice?” he asked with a chuckle and had a look of profound gratitude. He pulled away from her and gently helped her into the passenger seat. Her legs were still over the console and he deftly unbuttoned her jeans.
“Oh, yes,” Elaine whispered when she felt him tugging her pants off. Next were her undies, an embarrassing shade of hot pink. Ethan didn’t seem to think they were embarrassing in the least when he tossed them to the car’s floor with her pants. He dropped his seat back as far as it would go and leaned over so that she could feel his five o’clock shadow tickling between her thighs.
Elaine realized she was going to get what she was hoping for and shivered with anticipation. Ethan’s wet, warm tongue swirled kisses down her leg until he was almost at her nether lips. She felt the rough pads of this thumbs as his hands trailed up her small waist and she sucked in a deep breath when she felt his fingers grasp hold of her nipples.
“I want to hear you say it,” he told her gently and she could feel his breath on her throbbing clit. “Say you want me to,” he demanded of her.
His fingers gave a gentle twist and she arched as she gasped for air. “Yes, please, Ethan-” She was cut off as his lips formed a circled around her nub and his tongue gently flicked back and forth across the delicate, erect flesh. Tears of gratitude and pleasure filled Elaine’s eyes and she felt them leaking from the corners as she tried to contain her third orgasm.
The walls of her pussy tightened and warmth sizzled through her, but she held off until the last second. It was an explosion of heat and undeniable pleasure as his teeth grazed against her clit and brought her to her climax. Her hips thrust up and wave after wave of pleasure pulsed through her as her clit throbbed eagerly.
Ethan continued to suckle and lap enthusiastically at her clit until she began to pull away because it was too sensitive. He stiffened his tongue and drove it into her, lapping and diving in and out of her swollen pussy. When he had eaten her out completely, he pulled back and she saw him unbutton his jeans. He leaned over her and pulled a condom from the glove box. Elaine noted how large he was in the dark and bit her bottom lip when he gestured for her to climb on him.
She was hesitant as she hovered over the large, mushroom-shaped head of his erect penis, but Ethan wasn’t having her be shy at that moment. He grasped her hips with his hands and gently lowered her onto him. She was tight and swollen from her orgasms and he hissed as he slid into her. “You’re so fucking tight,” he told her in a deep, husky voice.
“You’re so big,” she gasped as she gripped the door and the headrest to stop her descent. Ethan leaned up and took her nipple in his teeth. He suckled gently and she felt herself relax enough to allow him to slide in all the way.
He was a tight fit, and she couldn’t help but think that no one had been as big as him. There was a moment of stillness and she framed his face with her hands as she looked down at him. Her hair hung in her face a little and she felt her pussy tighten and relax with the after waves of her previous orgasms. Then she began to rock her hips back and forth gently, feeling the way his erection throbbed with each movement.
She had imagined it would be fast and hard, but Ethan pulled her up to the tip with precision and pulled her back down with a cruel, gentle slowness. He pulled his pants down so that she could feel the way her bottom hit his large, bulging sac and her anus puckered each time it was tickled. When she thought she couldn’t take any more of the torture, Ethan reached down and gave her needy clit a small flick. Her gasp of appreciation was all he needed. He thrust into her hard and gave her nub a small pinch, bringing her to her fourth and final orgasm.
His thrusts became quicker and less controlled as he felt her pulsing around him, and she could feel his sac tightening into a hard ball as she bounced up and down. “Ethan!” she cried out as he came inside of her. She could feel his hot cum pouring into the condom and was blissfully aware of his orgasm.
“Fuck,” he whispered hoarsely as he settled her on his still erect penis. “Elaine,” he said as he pulled her in for a deep kiss. Then he helped her off and helped her find her clothes. He was cleaned up within a few minutes, and she wondered if any of it had happened at all.
When they pulled up beside her home, she turned to him and they shared a smile. His was brazen while hers was shy and wicked. “I didn’t get your number,” he told her quietly as he drummed his fingers on the wheel.
Elaine shrugged her shoulder and opened her car door. “You have my address,” she told him as she slipped out of the car. She waited by the driver’s side for him to roll down the window. They shared a deep kiss and she sighed as she pulled away from him. “Goodnight,” she told him quietly.
“Goodnight. I’ll see you around,” he told her as a promise. Elaine felt both sexy and a little confused as she walked up the front steps of her mother’s home. The porch light was off, so she slipped in quietly and closed the door behind her. Then she peeked out the curtain and watched Ethan’s Audi disappear into the night.
She wondered if he meant what he said about not knowing her number. Most guys probably wouldn’t call or show up after a night like they just shared, but she hoped he would. Elaine crept up the stairs to her bedroom and collapsed onto her bed without removing her clothes. She pulled the covers over her head and promptly fell into a deep sleep. The last thought she had before she fell asleep was a mental image of Ethan’s face as he came. He had been so innocent at that moment, so naked and exposed.
It had felt like more than just a random night of car sex. It had felt like the beginning of something.
THE END
