Book Two- Chapter Three

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL

Cooper's home with the babysitter, Allison, and the kids.

Allison offers Cooper a beer and carries a cup of tea for herself. She sits down on the couch next to Cooper. " Here you go." She hands him the beer after aopening it for him.

Cooper's sitting on the couch watching an afternoon talk show. "It's a little early for me to drink, but I'll take it." He slugs down some of the cold beer.

"I'm not used to having company at this time of the day." Allison tells him as she pushes her long brown hair behind her ear. "I always put both the kids down for their afternoon nap at this time. This is my quiet time of the day. Why are you home today?" She sips her tea and asks.

"They canceled my physical therapy session today. My therapist has the flu." Cooper takes another slug of beer and continues to watch the show.

"At least you get a break from it for a day." Allison puts her tea down.

He looks at her."I don't want a break from it. I need it every day. I need to keep my muscles moving and working."

"What do they do for you in physical therapy that helps so much?" Allison's a bit nosey.

"First the therapist massages my leg muscles to get the blood flowing. Then I bend my knees and work against weights for resistance training to strengthen the muscles. Then I walk holding on to these bars."

"And it's working?" Allison slurps her tea.

"Oh yeah, I get a little further every day. I hate missing it."

"Well why don't I work with you? It doesn't seem too hard. I'll massage your legs muscles and then you could push against my weight with your feet. The kids are napping so we could try it now." Allison puts her cup of tea on the table.

"It can't hurt. I'll have to lie down on the floor to get the most resistance. The therapist uses a table. But the floor will do just fine." Cooper removes his leg braces that are strapped on over his sweat pants.

Allison kneels on the floor next to him "Just tell me what to do. Where do I massage?"

"The therapist starts with my lower leg muscles, the calf, and works her way up to my outer thighs." Cooper instructs.

Allison positions herself so she's sitting between Cooper's legs which he has both bent at the knees and she starts kneading both his lower leg muscles with each hand. "How am I doing?" She asks.

"Harder than that." Cooper chuckles. "You need to push deep into the muscle to really get the blood flowing. Don't be afraid to hurt me." Cooper instructs her from the floor, his head is raised on two pillows.

"If you say so" Allison kneads his lower legs pushing down hard with her delicate fingers. It reminds Cooper of Charlotte's touch with the small delicate hands. "I'm sorry about the miscarriage. Poor Dr. King, that must be hard."

"Thanks. It was hard but she'll be okay." Cooper says soft.

"You can always have another." Allison's kneading up to his knee now.

"I hope but I don't know." Cooper watches her.

"Why not?" Allison asks still kneading underneath his knees hard. "Am I hurting you?"

"No. It feels good. Keep doing what you're doing." Cooper tells her.

"Why don't you think you may be able to have more kids?"

"Let's just say everything's not back to normal in that department yet but it's getting there. I'm making progress."

"I'm glad I can help. Allison moves her hands to the outer part of Coopers' lower thighs above his knees and continues to massage working her fingers hard. "How's your wife taking it?"

"She's the toughest woman I know. She'll get through it. She's back at work already."

"That's great." Allison changes her position to reach the upper portion of Coopers' outer thighs. She's on her knees and her body is bent down so her face is looking down at Coopers legs. Her long dark silky hair brushes against Coopers' stomach as she moves. His t- shirt is slightly raised and he feels the silky hair tickle his skin. He can smell her coconut scented shampoo. From this angle he has a good view down her shirt. He can see her boobs dressed in a white bra laced with black trim. He knows he should look away, but she can't tell he's looking because her head's facing down. He decides to take in view. His heart beats a little faster as she works her hands up his outer thighs. He feels himself growing hard and he's surprised. It hasn't happened for him like this since the accident. He's happy to know he hasn't lost it so he lets her keep massaging up his legs. She won't notice since she's just massaging the outsides of his legs. This never happened to him at therapy. He never got hard, but then again at therapy he's in a big room with plenty of other patients, bright lights and loud noises. Here it's quiet and just the two of them. "I should send Dr. King some flowers." Allison says as she moves her hands higher up his legs and then goes back down to massaging his knees.

"That would be nice. She'd appreciate it." Cooper's still looking down her shirt. He feels her move her hands up his legs massaging the top of them. She works her way up and her one hands brushes against his hard muscle. He's embarrassed. He feels his face turning red. He swallows and tells her. "You don't have to go that high, stay below the waist."

"Sorry" She tells him and starts at his knees again massaging up the inner part of his thighs now. It feels good. He should tell her to stop but it feels good to know he can get it up on his own without Charlotte having to stimulate it manually with the toys she brings home from work. This is progress. He's able to get it up now without any medical manipulation. This is new. Allison works her way to the top of his inner thighs and then begins gently rubbing his balls with each of her thumbs. Cooper jumps. "You said not to go above your waist. I thought this was okay to stimulate the muscle."

Cooper hesitates at first. It feels good and Cooper tells her, "You're right. I did say not to go above my waist. You're fine there."

Allison takes that as a sign. She continues to rub him with one hand and gently moves the other hand up the length of his erection. He sucks in a deep breath. He feels her hand move up to the waist band of his sweat pants and slip down under and into his boxers. She glides her fingerstips up and down his erection and he lets out a sigh of pleasure. It's been so long. She pulls down his sweats and boxers and now he's exposed. She pulls her top off over her head and unhooks her bra. He immediately cups each of the breasts he's been admiring. He feels her blow kisses down his belly until she reaches his erection. He moans as he feels her wet lips and tongue on him. He pulls her up to him and brings her breast to his mouth. Now she's the one moaning. She slides off her pants and straddles him. He thinks they should stop now but it feels too good and it's been so long. She guides him inside of her and it's too late to say stop now. She moves herself up and down on top of him as he caresses her body. She moves faster. She screams like he's never heard before. He's afraid she'll wake the kids but he doesn't care, he's almost there. She lets out a final scream and he loses control too, warm fluid drips down their legs. She's breathing heavy and drops down on top of him. He holds her and is relievedto know that he has full function back and then he thinks "shit." What did I just do?" He's proud at his accomplishment but it should have been with Charlotte not Allison.

After a few moments the baby starts to cry. "I better get her." Allison quickly gets up and pulls her clothes on not making eye contact with Cooper. She gets the baby and comes out of the room as Cooper's putting his clothes on.

She jokes, "You're hot daddy? Guess that's why you had to take your clothes off?" She's holding the baby.

"I'm not hot. Miss Allison." He doesn't make eye contact.

"You are hot." She looks him up and down and smiles.

Cooper can't help to feel flattered that this young hottie thinks a forty two year old man dependant on a walker is hot, but he tells her "This can't happen again."

"It won't. I promise. Let's fix you a bottle." She tells the baby and walks into the kitchen.

Cooper sits on the floor with his head hung down in his arms. He's shakes his head," Oh Charlotte my Cricket, what did I just do?" He sighs heavily "What am I gonna do?" He wishes he could do this day all over again!
