Hump Day Treat….and to celebrate Day 1 of season 5…..enjoy…..
Kim had no idea how to even start this particular conversation and they'd certainly had a lot of tough conversations over the years and particularly lately. Adam was going to completely flip his lid so she decided to get her flirt on and go with seduction. Maybe if he was calm, and she knew that a surprise sex session always calmed him he would be a little easier to deal with, it was kinda like a food coma but using sex instead. He always knew what she was doing but he really didn't care, he was male after all. "Hey Baby." Kim sauntered into the bedroom from the bathroom in just on of his shirts when she heard Adam come in. He perched on the edge of the bed and started to unlace his boots.
"What do you want?" He eyed her suspiciously. The way she was shaking her hips and cooing at him made him wary. While he wouldn't deny her advances, that only happened if he was sick or completely exhausted and tonight he was neither, that didn't mean he was oblivious to what Kim was doing. He knew her too well but on the other hand he was weak as piss when it came to demanding to know what was going on before he got jiggy with her. There was always time to talk once they'd closed the deal.
"Harsh Baby."
"Harsh?" He scoffed playfully as Kim came and stood between his legs and he immediately grabbed her hips and using his thumbs lifted her shirt and he was a little surprised and delighted to see a very sexy white thong underneath the shirt. He adored her in lacy white underwear; it was all he ever bought her and if she was wearing it he knew he was about to get very lucky. "You are trying to butter me up for something?" He started kissing her stomach and she shivered a little as his rough stubble tickled her skin. "It might be working."
"No."
"We are not buying a new house."
Kim pushed him back onto the bed and positioned herself on top of him; grinding her hips a little until she could feel him starting to respond to her and that didn't take very long at all. "Adam, baby."
"Or getting another bloody dog." While that hadn't been a disaster and they had loved that mutt the novelty had worn off for the kids as soon as she got out of the cute puppy stage and despite their insistence that they would help take care of it Adam spent more time taking it out for a run or cleaning up after it than they did and it was the last thing he wanted to be doing on his days off, cleaning up dog shit and repairing the damage the bloody thing used to do in the backyard. Everyone was devastated when she died and Dorothy was buried in the backyard. He forever cursed the day that they agreed to get a dog after Polly had been introduced to the Wizard of Oz, he tried to talk her out of calling it Dorothy but her sweet little face and cute begging swayed him so it was with much fanfare and a lot of tears that Dorothy was laid to rest under the lemon tree but he was adamant that their pet days were well and truly over.
"I don't want a dog."
"Okay." He dug his fingers into the back of her thighs and started inching them higher. "I know something is going on but right now I really don't care." Kim jumped off his lap and unbuckled his belt.
"How was work?" She asked as Adam started kissing her stomach again and working his shirt up over her head. He had always loved her wearing his shirts, he liked that some days he could smell her scent while he was at work and on those long days that often stretched into several it was a nice reminder of why he needed to keep his wits about him and make sure he eventually made it home.
"Really? You don't care." He pulled her onto the bed and flipped her over and hovered his body above his very eager wife. "I have a feeling I am not going to like what ever it is you are hiding from me right now but I am just going to ignore it and concentrate on this sweet little gift, because you look and feel and taste amazing." She had put a lot of effort into sexy-ing herself up for him obviously hence why he knew he wasn't going to enjoy whatever she wanted to talk about later but right now he just didn't care. He was about to get laid in a big way.
"Adam, shut up." He didn't shut up though; he talked in her ear constantly. It wasn't exactly sweet nothings but he was telling her exactly what he was going to do to her and what he wanted in return. He whispered in her ear to breathe, something he liked to remind her to do because if she held her breath she didn't get the whole body shaking feeling that he loved to give her. He loved that moment just before she lost it completely, he could pick it, that look in her eyes and then he felt it. Adam had spent the last few days flat stick at work and around some rough type of people. Kim could always pick it because his language would get a little edge to it. It was hot and while she didn't always appreciate it tonight it was turning her on big time.
"Can we make that a rule that every time I come home from work you are half naked and horny as a goat?" Adam was trying to catch his breath; it had gotten a little wild because sometimes you just needed to let go of the reins. He ran a hand up her thigh, which was still wrapped around his waist and it was a slick with their combined sweat. They both needed a shower, although right now that probably meant it would have Adam on his knees. He wasn't done, not by a long shot. If Kim was going to try and distract him by jumping his bones she wasn't going to walk away after one wild screw. The night was still young.
"Hmmm." Kim hummed as she was still a little dazed.
Adam sucked on her bottom lip, biting it lightly. "You still with me Darlin'?" He laughed as she jumped a little. She was floating a little right now and it had taken her mind off things which was exactly what she hoped would happen.
Once they had showered, which hadn't exactly been a G rated affair and he did love it when she breathlessly gasped his name, Adam tucked a pillow behind his head and watched as Kim fussed about for a few minutes. She eventually came to bed, sitting up next to him and crossing her legs as she chewed on her bottom lip. "I am not going to like this am I?" Adam felt a flutter of panic. "You are not pregnant are you?"
"No I am not pregnant."
"What then?"
"However, it is about Polly…" she took a deep breath and the sheer look of utter panic on Adam's face was a little amusing and she made him wait just a few seconds. Kim couldn't leave him hanging too long though because she thought he might actually stop breathing. "She is having sex with Sam."
That had obliterated his sex coma; he went from relaxing to almost shooting out of bed in a nanosecond. "Please tell me she's not pregnant?" Kim did not know that Adam's voice could go quite that high.
"Polly is not pregnant, but they have been having sex for a few weeks now."
"I'll fucking kill him."
"You will not."
"But…" he looked down at his out spread hands. "It was only yesterday I held her here, she was so tiny and precious."
"Adam." Kim shrugged. "At least we like him and she is still precious." She'd already done her freaking out, now it was Adam's turn.
"I think I'd rather you be pregnant to be honest." He moaned as he flopped back against the pillows. "Please tell me they are using condoms? Like that boy needs to double wrap it. I know I said I didn't want ugly grandchildren but I've changed my mind, I don't want grandchildren at all for a very long time. I'm too young to be called Pops."
It was one of the first things Kim had asked her. Polly had called out to her Mom when she saw her walk past her open bedroom door. She was sitting on the edge of her bed, gripping it tightly and was looking a little pale. "What's up?"
"Mom." Her voice was a little shaky, from both nerves and because while she had a fair idea what was wrong she was a little freaked out. "I think I have a UTI."
"Oh." It took Kim a second to put two and two together and she exhaled slowly and the second 'Oh' came out with a bit of a whistle.
"It really hurts to go to the bathroom and I feel like I need to go all the time and then hardly anything comes out and now it's like just blood." Polly was almost crying, she was squeezing her knees together tightly and her legs were shaking. Kim remembered her first UTI and they could be extremely painful and frightening especially when you looked down and saw all that blood.
"Okay." She sat next to Polly and felt her forehead to see if she had a fever, which she didn't but she did look a little pale, but that was probably the nerves more than anything. "How long?"
"It's been really bad today but it started yesterday."
"We need to go to the Doctor and get you some antibiotics." Kim slipped an arm around her shoulder and kissed her forehead. "Polly Sweetheart. Are you and Sam having sex?"
"Yes." Polly was mortified. "It's not Sam's fault."
"Of course it's not. Welcome to the downside of having sex." She couldn't look at her Mom; this was not how she wanted them to find out. She didn't know exactly how she wanted them to discover that she was having sex but this wasn't it. "Can I ask? Just about the sex." Polly nodded. "Sam didn't force you into it did he? You were ready? It was what you wanted."
Polly nodded her head. "I was. We talked about it a lot. Honestly Mom, Sam didn't make do anything, it was what we both wanted."
"And you used protection?"
"Yes."
"Every single time Polly, no exceptions." She had been a little embarrassed when Sam told her that he had already bought some condoms. He tried to reassure her that he wasn't pressuring her into anything but he just wanted to be prepared. By that stage Polly knew it was no longer an if it was going to happen but a more a when but that didn't make it any easier to deal with the thought that Sam was ready and waiting.
"I know." Polly was blushing profusely. "Are you going to tell Dad?"
"Your Dad will want to know."
"Why? He's going to go nuts at Sam."
"No he won't." Kim looked thoughtful for a moment "Well maybe a little bit but at the end of the day he knows how things work, he likes Sam and he knows you love him and that Sam is crazy about you. He'll calm down. Don't forget your Dad was your age once. We've all been here, we both had a first time."
"Maybe you can not tell him for a little bit?"
Kim laughed "No Polly. We knew this was coming sooner rather than later, believe it or not your Dad and I talked about this too and I won't keep things like this a secret from him. I can pretty much guarantee he will freak out, look at you funny, put the hard word on Sam and then move on." She still looked mortified. "He's not going to run over town and hire a sky writer if that's what you are worried about."
"Well, not really. I don't want people to know. I mean I saw how horrible everyone was to Abbey."
Kim squeezed her hand. "Sweetheart, this is not the same. What happened to Abbey wasn't right, not what Simon did or what happened once she went back to school. Sam's not going to be bragging about it, I honestly don't think Sam is like that, do you? I think Sam really cares about you."
"He does, I know he does. We did talk about that too." He'd promised Polly that day at the summer house that this was just between them, what they did or didn't do was nobody's business but theirs and so far no one had said anything to Polly about it and she trusted Sam to keep his word.
"It sounds like you were smart and I like that." Kim felt like she was putting in an award winning performance because she was a little freaked out by it. This was her baby, her little girl all grown up and talking about having sex, and not just hypothetically. She wasn't ready for this.
"I'm not ashamed about having sex, I just don't want everyone to know."
"It will be fine Polly, nobody has to know. It's between you and Sam. I just hope it was everything you wanted it to be."
"It was a little awkward at first and I was scared a bit but Sam was really sweet and patient." She was blushing and it was cute. "I really enjoy it now, we both do." How long exactly had this been going on? Although Kim wasn't sure she wanted to know all the details. Her first time was a rush job in the bedroom at a party. It was hardly memorable or enjoyable although she did 'love' her boyfriend so it wasn't a complete bust. She also knew that once you uncorked that genie there was no getting it back in the bottle so now that they had started it wasn't worth burying their heads in the sand by pretending it wasn't happening.
"Has this been going on a while then?"
"A couple of weeks." Polly didn't really have anyone to talk to; she had Chloe who had been sleeping with Isaac for a while now but that was all. She didn't want people to know because of how people talked about Abbey at school and she couldn't talk to Abbey because it was such a torrid topic for her and she didn't want to talk about how wonderful it was when for Abbey it had been anything but. "Sam seems really happy now."
"You didn't do it just to make Sam happy though right?"
"No, it wasn't like that at all. He said he'd wait until I was ready and he did. I love him Mom, I really do."
"I know you do but you don't have to say yes every time, even now sometimes I still say no to your Dad and he sometimes says no to me." Although to be fair to Adam it was not very often, he was always game. "Even though you and Sam have started having sex it does not mean that you still can't say No if it doesn't feel right or you don't feel like it in that moment. You still have the right to decided the when and where."
"I do like it."
"Of course you do, and I am happy you do. Remember though it's still your body. Sam doesn't own you or your body and he can't make you do anything you feel uncomfortable with. If it's not right for you say so." Although they did honestly believe that Sam would do the right thing by Polly. He seemed to really care about her and if he was only interested in her for sex he probably wouldn't have stuck around through all the crap.
"You like having sex with Dad though right, he says he loves it?" She couldn't look at her Mom. Everything about this had been mortifying, everything except how being with Sam made her feel, that she loved. He had been right; he made her feel amazing.
"Oh Polly, it's wonderful."
"Adam, can you at least breathe?" Kim chuckled a little; her hand was resting on his chest and she was playing with his chest hair and he found it strangely comforting. He was looking a little stunned. They knew this was coming and had talked about it but it still came as a bit of a shock. Polly and Sam were cute together, they had caught them making out on several occasions and they were under no illusions about what went on when they went out to parties together and then there was all the day trips up to the Summer House. They didn't just sit in the corner holding hands and flirting that's for sure. They had even talked about what to do when it became a reality but it was much easier when it was all just a possibility, now it wasn't quite so easy to deal with. Kim was surprised it had taken this long to be honest, whereas Adam thought they'd rushed into it. but he was always going to think that no matter how long they had been together.
"You need to take her to the Doctor and get one of those implant things put in." He waved at the top of her arm. Not that they had worried about things like that for a long time. Even though they knew there was still a slight risk of getting pregnant despite Adam's vasectomy it was a little bit of if it did happen then it was meant to be but they didn't plan on having any more children and apart from one scare a few years ago, when Polly was almost ten they hadn't even thought about it again.
The thought of Adam having to go through another procedure if it had failed was Kim's worst nightmare. He was pathetic the first time round and you would actually think they had surgically hacked into his penis with a rusty scalpel and scooped his testicles out with a spoon. He insisted he needed a week off work to 'recover' and his incessant moaning every time he moved or requests for ice packs drove Kim insane.
Adam had been far from amused when Gus, who was almost three at the time threw the mother of all temper tantrums a few days after his procedure and had caught Adam flush in the nuts with his flailing arms. He'd gone down like a shot dog clutching his man berries and had crawled inside in tears. Kim was in tears too, from laughing and his icy glare made her shiver as he took to his bed like he had a terminal illness. Adam didn't do recovery well and when it involved his pride and joy he was almost unbearable.
Kim threatened to withhold sex for six weeks, seeing as he was so incapacitated. He'd gone a little too far when he told Kim she had no idea how it felt. "Maybe you can just test it out first? Kiss it better?" he had lamely asked for a blowjob when Kim reminded him that she had pushed two of his human beings out of her vagina. "Just to see if it hurts."
"Maybe you can just fuck off and go to sleep."
"Baby…." He started to whine so Kim turned her back on him and it took him approximately three minutes to give up his whining and just get it over with. They certainly didn't set the world on fire that night but it did get him back on the horse and when Kim teased him about how unsatisfied she was he took that as a personal insult and he snapped out of his funk.
"Already done, we went to the Doctors today. Polly's picked up a UTI, that's why she told me." Kim reassured him. Kim took the opportunity while she had to take Polly to the Doctors for her anti-biotics to get her to talk about birth control because she was more than happy to make sure Polly was protected from an unplanned teenage pregnancy. While you had every good intention of always using condoms sometimes things happened. Adam had been a little freaked out when Kim first told him that she wanted to get Polly sorted but the prospect of a teenage pregnancy swayed him. She reminded him of how Polly actually came into being, she'd been on the pill, had thrown up for a few days and they'd had un-protected sex and suddenly they were faced with the prospect of becoming parents.
"A UTI, really? Jesus." Adam let his head drop back onto the bedhead. "Is she okay?" He certainly didn't like the thought that his baby wasn't well, he knew how nasty they could be and he also knew that having sex caused them nine times out of ten and that wasn't helping him cope with this latest development.
"She's starting to feel better. A little embarrassed by it all I think."
"So when did this momentous occasion take place and more importantly where? Not in my house?"
"A few weeks ago apparently and I didn't ask for the details. All I was worried about was that Sam did not force her into it, that they were safe and that she enjoyed it."
"Enjoyed it?" Kim winced at his alarmingly hysterical response. "What? Did you swap sex stories? Compare notes?"
Kim slapped his bare chest playfully. It really didn't help that they were having his conversation and Adam barely had the sheet covering his hips, that line of hair trailing down from his belly button was distracting her. She had put his shirt back on but nothing else. It seemed kind of weird that they were discussing their daughter's sex life half naked in bed having just had sex twice themselves. "No, although she did ask if I loved doing it with you because you told her that you love having sex."
"I hope you didn't tell her how awesome I am, she does not need any encouragement obviously."
"Okay.." Kim snorted. "…Figjam."
"Darlin'. I do believe I just made you quiver, not once but twice, so much so you couldn't actually speak." He slipped his hand between her thighs and made her jump when it hit the spot. "Did you just call me a figjam?" Kim squealed and tried to wiggle away but Adam was way too strong and had her pinned to the bed in an instant. "Because fuck, yes I am good, thanks for asking." He smiled as his fingers kept working their magic. "Especially when it comes to fucking you."
"I hope Sam talks to Polly a little nicer than that." Kim smirked as she relented and worked her hands free and repaid the favour.
"Darlin' do not talk about our daughter having sex right about when I am ready to nail you to the bed."
Make that three times.
"Has Dad gone to work yet?" Polly accosted her mother in the hallway the next morning.
"No."
"Oh okay. Is he mad?"
"Of course he's not mad." Kim tapped Polly on the shoulder as she turned to head back into her bedroom. "You are not hiding up here forever. You need to get to school."
"What time is Dad leaving?"
"After you go to school." The longer Polly avoided seeing her Dad the more chance he had to think about new ways to torture her. They had kept themselves occupied last night until they both almost passed out well and truly satisfied but Kim knew it was the first thing Adam thought about when he woke up.
Adam was sitting at the kitchen table, scrolling through the news. He liked to at least have some idea what was going on in Chicago before he hit up work. Sometimes it gave him a hint of what to expect but usually he spent more time on the sports pages than on the actual news. He sipped his coffee slowly and looked up when Kim came down dressed ready for work. He cocked one eyebrow and did not need to ask. "She's coming." Kim responded and proceeded to pour herself a coffee.
"Terrified?"
"I'd say nervous."
"What does she think I am going to do?"
"Say something completely inappropriate and embarrassing." Kim sipped her coffee, she never got used to how strong he made it some days. "Maybe she heard your hysterical rant last night."
"If that's the case she would have heard you panting and screaming my name over and over again."
"You think you are so funny." Kim slipped her arms around his neck and kissed him just below the ear.
Adam threw his head back and laughed, snaking one arm up around her neck as he pulled her down for another kiss. "Yes I am, but Baby remember how much you liked me last night?"
For once Polly did not comment about her parents PDA, she was hoping that she could get in and out without too much damage so figured the less she said the better. "Good Morning Polly." Adam decided that the best way to freak her out was to act completely normal because that would drive her insane. "You gracing us with your presence for breakfast?"
"I'm not hungry."
"Have some breakfast Pol. You need to eat to take your antibiotics." That was all he said. Polly looked like she was about to pass out at the table but Adam just ate his breakfast and drank his coffee like usual and that was probably worse. It was always the anticipation of what was coming that got to Polly, the reality was never as bad but the anticipation killed her and Adam was the master at it.
"How's your arm?"
"Dad." Polly whined, desperately looking at her mother and Kim took pity on her and shook her head at Adam.
"What? I am just asking." Muttering into his cup of coffee. "Jeez, it was a simple question. No need for a hissy fit."
Angus came in and was completely oblivious to anything going on, like a typical teenage boy he was motivated by food and thankfully not yet motivated by the opposite sex. One child having sex was more than enough for both of them right now. Even when Adam came back in with his gun strapped on he did not bat an eyelid and kept shovelling his breakfast in without taking a breath. "So, how's Sam?" Adam smirked and Kim tried to stop him but that was like trying to hold back the tide.
Polly actually choked on her cereal. "Why?"
"I liked Sam." He adjusted his weapon and Polly looked at her mother desperately, they were both smart enough to pick up that Adam had used past tense, but she got no help this time.
Adam and Kim left for work together, the kids had to find their own way to school today, a bit of self-sufficiency never killed anyone. It didn't take long until Kim's phone was beeping with a message from Polly. 'What is Dad going to do to Sam?' Kim showed it to Adam and they both laughed all the way into work as they messages kept flying back and forth.
'Nothing, he wants to know when he is coming for dinner?'
'He's going to bring home a long gun isn't he?'
'I haven't asked him, do you want me too? He's right here.'
'No, I want you to talk to him and tell him to leave Sam alone.'
'Dad wants to know if Sam wants to come to the firing range on Saturday?'
'Mom, make him stop. This is embarrassing. I'll never see him again.'
Kim told her to stop being so dramatic as they pulled into the parking lot and signed off with a 'we love you.' as they headed inside.
Kim let out a sad sigh when Adam kept laughing. "I think you are having too much fun with this?" Adam tickled the palm of her hand lightly. They didn't display much affection at work if possible. A tough case or rough day would warrant to moment or two in the locker room but outside of that it was strictly professional. He often made up for it with a perfectly timed racy message or a sweet note, slipped into a file about how much he was missing her.
"This is actually better than I imagined. Polly doesn't have much of a poker face does she?"
"Don't torture her."
"I am not going to torture her, Sam on the other hand."
As soon as her parents left the house Polly rang Sam. "My Dad knows." rushed out before he even had the chance to say hello. Polly had been embarrassed to tell him about the UTI when she talked to him last night but all Sam was worried about was that she was okay. He had sisters so he knew these things happened. It also meant that she had told her Mom and that meant only one thing, her Dad was next. He was a little bit surprised when Polly told him that her mother had insisted she get birth control sorted at the same time and she now had an implant in. He imagined that went down like a lead balloon with her father too. Quite honestly he was expecting a bit more of a shit fight.
"And he hates me?"
"I don't know. He didn't say anything, except ask when you are coming to dinner."
"I am not sure I want to." He really did like her parents and got on well with her Dad but that was before he slept with his daughter. Polly was panicking and he wasn't that far behind her.
"Mom will keep him under control."
"Polly, he has guns."
"So? We just stop seeing each other?" Polly surprised him by bursting into tears. The anticipation of her father's reaction meant that she'd had a restless night and she was tired and coupled with still feeling crappy she was more than a little emotional. "I don't want to stop seeing you. I love you Sam."
"Polly, babe. I love you too. Of course I'll come over for dinner. I'll be shitting myself but I am not stopping seeing you. Gun or no gun. Don't cry Babe." Sam hated hearing her cry. It hadn't been easy dating Polly, they'd got together at a really rough time in her life and he'd learnt to be patient and now it was paying off. He wasn't walking away now. His mates kept telling him to burn her, to cut her loose because of the drama but he couldn't do that. He liked her too much and then he fell in love with her.
The look on both their faces when Sam eventually did show up for dinner was priceless. It was the most awkward meal ever and not because of anything Adam said but because Polly was so nervous she was just tried to fill every single moment of silence with something so that her Dad didn't get the chance to say something stupid.
Adam was almost laughing at Polly and kept eyeing off Kim who also found it hard to keep a straight face. When she drew breath and started to relax Adam pounced. "So cherries for dessert, do you like cherries Sam?"
"Dad." Polly shrieked, drawing more attention to the conversation than needed to be. Poor Sam had no idea what he was talking about but Polly did and so did Kim who would have kicked him under the table if he were close enough. Ever since that night when Polly first admitted something was going on with Abbey and the conversation about 'popping cherries' came up Adam had never forgotten and he didn't let Polly forget it either.
"What? I just want to know if he likes all types of cherries or just fresh…."
"Adam." Kim barked at him.
Sam coughed nervously. "I like Cherries." Although he had no idea what he was agreeing too. Perhaps it was better if he didn't. He'd just been grateful that there were no guns visible when he arrived.
"You're so not funny." Polly was not enjoying this one bit.
"What's wrong with Cherries?" Angus was completely oblivious to the conversation going on around him, Sam was starting to get an idea though, it had to come at some point and quite frankly he was surprised it had taken this long.
"There is nothing wrong with cherries Gus, your Dad is being an idiot." Kim was doing her best not to let this get any further out of control than it already was but in reality it was an impossible task.
"So are we having Cherry pie for dessert or not?" Gus's innocence was endearing. He wasn't helping the situation but it was cute.
"No we are not."
"Pity, I hear it's Sam's favourite." Adam muttered under his breath.
"Can you just stop talking please?" Polly asked him desperately and Kim agreed with her. He held up his hand and promised to stop. As soon as they were finished with dinner Polly jumped up to clear the dishes, she couldn't get out of there quick enough and Sam went to follow her until Adam stopped him with just a look. He knew he had to talk to Polly's Dad so he may as well get it over and done with.
Polly just about had a conniption when Sam followed her Dad outside after dinner. "Polly calm down." Kim insisted.
"Dad is going to do something stupid." She was flapping her arms about. "He's going to hurt Sam. He needs to know it was my idea, I made Sam do it."
"He is not going to do anything stupid or hurt Sam." Although Kim wasn't entirely sure that was true, she was hoping he was all bark and no bite. At the end of the day Polly was his daughter and having her grow up into a beautiful young woman was no walk in the park and Adam had always warned both of them that he wasn't going to cope well with her dating. "Do you really want to go out there and tell your Dad that you made Sam have sex with you? I'd really like to hear that conversation."
"No, but…"
"Polly. You knew this would happen. Despite what you think your Dad is not an idiot, he knows how things like this work, he was Sam's age once you know. He likes Sam but he is always going to make sure you are okay, first and foremost. He's not going to do anything to Sam." Kim rested her hands on Polly shoulders and made her look at her. "So you can go out and then both of you will have to sit and listen to that conversation and I think that might be far more awkward for both of you. I am sure Sam will tell you everything your Dad says. Or you can stay here and calm down."
Adam rolled his beer bottle between his hands as he leant over the railing and Sam stood like a statue beside him. "You know how much we love Polly. She's my daughter and I am always going to be on her side. This shit that she's been through lately I never wanted either of my kids to see. It's made me, unfortunately for you all the more protective."
"I love Polly." Sam blurted out because he had no idea what else to say.
Adam stared at him for just a minute. "I know you do, Sam don't hurt her."
"I don't plan on it. Mr Ruzek, I really love her, she's sweet and beautiful and she makes me happy. I love being around her." He gushed out nervously.
"You make her happy and we are so grateful for how much you've helped her lately. I am not going to say I am over the moon about the sex thing but I am not stupid either. Just be careful, use condoms, respect her and respect us and we won't have a problem. Okay?"
"I promise."
"Then we are good, although if you call me Mr Ruzek again I might just shoot you. You are sleeping with my daughter, I think Adam is fine now."
"Okay…" He still did choke a little "Adam."
"Although I do feel the need to remind you about my guns and I did pass my firearm recertification recently with my highest degree of accuracy yet."
"Oh believe me, that I don't forget."
Adam clapped him on the shoulder. "Right now, let's go and completely freak her out again, because if I have to deal with my daughter having sex I am going to get as much mileage out of it as possible." He really did like this kid despite the fact he'd popped his daughter's cherry.
"What did you do?" Polly almost knocked her father over when they came back in. Her eyes shooting back and forward between her father and boyfriend. "Did he hurt you? Are you bleeding?" she asked Sam.
Adam grabbed her arms lightly and laughed. "I didn't do anything. Jesus Polly, I left my weapon inside, that's what you wanted wasn't it? I did however talk to Sam about his weapon."
"Dad." She screeched, looking desperately at her mother. Sam stood back and watched on helplessly. One thing he did love about being here was the light-heartedness and joking that went on. it was a fun house to be around. He liked how no matter how hard Polly's Mom tried she couldn't rein her Dad in, and while he was deadly serious about him not hurting Polly he never actually felt threatened by him. He knew where he stood, he knew hurting Polly wouldn't be good for his health but if he treated her right he was always welcome under their roof.
He was glad he didn't listen to the warnings to stay away from Polly Ruzek, because they all stemmed from the fact her father had a reputation for being a hard ass. He was honest and straightforward but that was not a bad thing, he also loved a joke, was laid back and was pretty easy to talk to. At the end of the day he had his reputation from the work he did and it was nothing like how he was at home and around his family.
Sam had been patient and eventually Polly came back to him and the longer they spent together the closer they got, it was always bubbling away under the surface.
A few days after Polly had gone away with her Mom she had finally admitted to him that she loved him and he knew that was a big thing for her. He also knew that she'd talked to her Dad. They had been mucking about at her house playing twister and he was beating her constantly. When Polly finally had him in a good position and she knew she was about to win but just to make sure she leant close to him and whispered in his ear. "I love you Sam." And when he turned to look at her he tumbled to the ground. Polly leapt in the air, out of his desperate grasp and jumped up and down celebrating her victory.
"You just said that so you could win."
"Maybe." She threw her head back and laughed with her hands on her hips and looking impossibly cute. "Or maybe I said it because I meant it."
Sam sat up quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her down squealing on top of him. "I hope it's because you meant it."
"I do, I do mean it." It had certainly set the train in motion although nothing was going to happen that day, her parents could walk through the door at any minute and Sam wasn't going to rush things. He really wanted to savour every minute of it and he wanted Polly to be able to look back on this moment and never regret it.
When they finally had his place to themselves on the weekend things heated up very quickly and it wasn't long until they got to the point where Polly always made him stop, sure lately that had been teetering on the edge and they'd certainly spent a lot of time feeling each other out. Polly reached for his belt and started trying to undo his jeans. Sam stopped and groaned loudly, she was seriously pushing him right to the edge. "Pol?"
"Sam, just keep going."
"Hey." He made her look at him. "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"I want you to be sure, you know I want this, and you know what I want to do."
"Sam, can we keep going please. I don't want to stop now."
"Polly you are shaking." Although he desperately wanted this to happen he needed to make sure Polly did as well. He'd been here before, she hadn't and he knew that feeling. That nervousness, the anticipation and the worrying thoughts about if it was really what you wanted or was it just getting carried away in the moment? He didn't want her to regret it.
"Because I am scared."
"Of what?"
"That it's going to hurt." She chewed on the corner of her mouth nervously "And I don't think that I am going to be good at this. You've done this before…." He stopped her talking by capturing her lower lip with his mouth and sucking on it lightly. She was a bundle of nerves, not that he was much better. When she had grabbed at his belt buckle and started undoing it his heart started beating wildly and he knew he would struggle to stop. Luckily he didn't have too.
He grabbed her hand and kissed her palm before resting it on his stomach. "You are great at this, you make me feel amazing, I love it when you touch me, you know what that does to me. And Polly, I already love you, this doesn't change that. Whether we do this or not doesn't change that, I can wait."
"I don't want to wait anymore." So they didn't.
Polly had her head buried in the pillow when Sam came back into the bedroom from the bathroom. He kissed her on her bare shoulder as he knelt down beside her and leant his elbows on the bed. "Are you okay?"
"Yes."
"Polly, look at me?" Slowly she unburied her head. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, Sam."
He leant down and kissed her softly. "I love you. That was awesome."
"It was?"
"It was perfect. You are perfect."
"I think I liked it." She admitted a little coyly and Sam had to admit her shyness was very endearing, sexy even. Polly did not realise the power of her sexuality. She did not realise the hold she had over him, he was putty in her hands.
"You think?" he chuckled, pressing his nose against hers.
"No, I definitely liked it. Can we do it again?"
"Only if you tell me you love me."
Polly snaked one hand out from underneath the pillow and grabbed his arm and Sam used his free hand and ran his fingers up and down her spine and she felt her whole body come alive again. She had desperately tried to hang on to the feeling that washed over her when she realised what they had just done. All her anxiety had been blown away by the moment but when he left momentarily to go to the bathroom she did start to panic and worried about what Sam thought.
Grabbing his hand she tugged on it and he jumped up and crawled back into bed with her. "I love you."
