Saturday night

Harm put the last plate on the table and arranged the silverware in place. He had just fired up the grill and he was waiting on Mac, Matthew, and Matt to arrive.

"They're here!"

Harm smiled and hurried for the living room just as the front door opened. Rose, Kelly, and Claire followed him to the hallway.

"We're home!" Matthew said and got a big hug from his father.

"Did you guys have fun?" Harm shook Matt's hand and waited for his wife to finish hugging the children.

"It was great," Matthew strode past his father. "It smells great. I'm starving,"

"Hi there," Harm's eyes locked with Mac's.

"Hi," she moved in and hugged him. "I missed you."

"I missed you too," he leaned in and kissed her softly. "I have stuff on the grill."

"I can smell that," Mac smiled and took his hand. "You take care of that. I need a shower."

"Mind if I borrow the shower in the basement?" Matt wondered.

"Feel like home," Harm reassured.

After a long shower and unpacking, Mac found her husband outside by the grill.

"It smells great," she moved her arm around his waist.

"And you are a sight for sore eyes," he hugged her close. "This is ready," he put the last stake on the plate.

"How's the week been?" Mac reached for one plate and followed her husband inside.

"Busy," Harm said as he put the plate on the table.

"I thought we had the new attorney start?" Mac motioned for the living room. "I'll just gather the troops."

"Harriet's mom fell and broke her hip, so she and Bud left on Wednesday," Harm explained. "But Samantha is working out well. Claire has been an asset of course."

"That's terrible news about Mrs. Sims," Mac stepped into the living room. "Dinner!"

Steps were heard on the stairs as Matthew hurried downstairs. "Where's the fire?" Mac questioned with amusement.

"Didn't you feed him at all this week?" Claire wondered with amusement. She put her arm around her mom. "Remember to praise Dad about all the baked goods in the freezer."

"He baked?" Mac was amused.

"He sure did. And he cleaned the house," Claire smiled. "Dad's been working hard to pick up the slack at the office too."

Mac hugged her daughter close. "I hear he had a great helper."

"I try," Claire walked with her mom to the kitchen. "You went all out Dad."

"You're amazing," Mac said as she walked over to the table. She moved her arms around her husband.

"Sit down and enjoy," Harm led his wife to the table.

Later

Harm found his wife in the garden watering the roses after he'd driven Matt home. She smiled when she noticed him and turned off the water and put the hose down.

"Did Uncle Matt make it home okay?"

"Yeah, he looked tired. Said he looked forward to a few lazy days," Harm reached for her hand as she walked over. "He seemed happy. This trip meant a lot to him."

"It meant a lot for me too," she admitted.

"Matthew was exhausted," Harm smiled.

"He's already asleep and it's not even 2100," Mac said with a chuckle. "You did well this week. You must be exhausted, between work and the kids, and you found the time to stock the freezer too I see."

He chuckled. "I have to admit that I missed you at work this week. And at home, of course."

"Yeah?" she moved closer to him. "Want to tell me more about what you missed?" she asked in a seductive tone.

"I really would rather show you," he said as he leaned in and kissed her.

Mac deepened the kiss, leaving them both out of breath when they finally came up for air. "Let's turn in early tonight?" she suggested.

Inside the bedroom, he locked the door before turning to her again. He helped her remove her shirt and his hands found their way inside her bra pushing it aside. Her hands moved inside his shirt caressing his muscular torso. He cupped her full breast and she moaned into his mouth. He would never get tired of touching her, listening to her moans of pleasure. Her hand found its way inside his shorts finding him fully erect and ready for her. She loved the size of him, the way he'd reach her inner core, and tip her over the top every time. Ever since that first time together in his apartment she had known that she'd never need any other man ever again.

"It's been a week," he reminded her breathlessly as he pulled away from her hand.

"I'm ready for you," she slipped her bra, shorts, and panties off.

He moved in to kiss her again, his hand found her wet core. She wasn't joking about being ready. Apparently he wasn't the only one who had built up lust while they've been apart.

He dropped his shorts and boxers and moved to the bed. "I'll let you take the lead," he said as he dropped down on the bed.

The next morning

Harm stretched lazily and opened his eyes. His wife was still sound asleep. He checked his watch and saw that it was past 0900. Feeling his movement she moved a little then relaxed further into his arms. He could feel bare breast against his chest and his already awakeness reacted by growing further. He had to use the toilet and he moved away from her and slipped out of bed. He relieved himself and got back to bed. The sheet had slipped off her upper body and he smiled as he slipped into bed. She did have a great body, he thought once more and moved his hand up her belly, cupping her breast. She let out an enjoyable sound and said his name. Her eyes opened slowly and she smiled.

"Did you take a pill or something?" she mumbled as she pulled him closer.

"Nah, it's just you," he moved closer to her so that she could feel his excitement as his hand found it's way down her body. She moved her legs to give him better access.

"I never get enough of you," she moved against his hand. "You always make me feel so good."

"Watching you, listening to you is such a turn on," he moved his mouth over her nipple.

They had a very open relationship. He knew what she liked, what she fantasized about. He'd told her all of his fantasies, showed her what he liked. Their openness was the reason they could still enjoy each other even after fourteen years of marriage.

He reached for the vibrator they had left on the nightstand the previous night.

After listening to her come, her sounds of pleasure, he was more than ready to move inside her. She wanted to please him with her mouth first. When he finally entered her he was so close to coming. He moved her over and entered her from behind, his hands on her breast as she moved her arms up and around his neck, he helped her over the top once more before he emptied himself inside her.

They collapsed together in bed.

"Wow!" he said between heavy breaths.

"Yeah, wow!" she agreed.

He moved to his side and leaned over her, cupping her face. "I love you so much, Sarah."

She smiled and kissed him softly. "I love you too. Sometimes it scares me how much I need you. You are amazing."

"You are amazing," he kissed her again. "And I need you too," he pulled her close and held her tight.

A little later they enjoyed a hot bath together. Harm was massaging Mac's feet softly as they talked through the previous week.

"So about Samantha, you feel we made the right choice?" Mac assumed after Harm had filled her in.

"I mean, it's only been a week, but her record speaks for itself, and she's been diving straight into things, picking up the slack with Bud and Harriet," Harm smiled. "Yeah, I think she's exactly what we need."

"Good, because with my schedule this fall at the university, I won't be much help," Mac let out a sigh. "I feel like I'm letting you down."

"Mac, you're following your passion. How can I be mad about that?" he questioned. "You've loved having more time with the kids too."

"I have. And I want to continue with that, which means that I have to cut back my hours at the office. I love to teach," she admitted.

"I know. I can see it in your eyes when you talk about your students and the classes you're planning," he smiled. "They are lucky to have you."

"It means a lot to me that you say that," she smiled sweetly.

He sat up and leaned closer to her. "Maybe I just like seeing you in full professor mode. It's really very sexy."

She laughed softly.

He kissed her. "I don't know about you, but I'm starting to feel hungry."

"It's already 10.25. No kids have been to ask when we'll get up," she wrinkled her forehead thoughtfully.

"They know that mom and dad need some alone time after a week apart," he wiggled his eyebrows. "Besides, they are big and they can take care of themselves," he reasoned.

"Yeah, that's right, they are growing up," she smiled and kissed him softly. "Shower and breakfast."

"Sounds good," he agreed.

"I love you," she rubbed her nose to his.

"I love you too," he smiled and kissed her softly. It was good to be together again.
