Sequim
She pauses for a moment as her husband chucks the maul into the old chopping block, then stacks the wood he's just split. He doesn't notice her watching him stand up for another round, wrenching the tool back out of the stump with ease. But she knows splitting wood isn't as easy as he makes it look. He's already shed his flannel despite the crisp autumn air. His body radiates heat with the physical exertion from swinging the heavy axe with rhythmic precision.
Biting her lip, her eyes fix on the way his shoulders and upper back flex under his tee-shirt. He notices her just as the last chunk of wood splits.
"Hey, baby."
She walks into his arms; he leans down for a kiss. He's sweaty and gritty and tries to keep some space between them, but she pulls herself closer, gripping his belt loops.
"We're on our own for dinner tonight."
"Yeah?" he asks between sweet pecks of his lips that linger just a little too long to be completely chaste.
She nods. "Em and Rose went to Costco in Sequim."
His eyebrows shoot up as he looks for confirmation on her face, then quickly scans the driveway for their missing Suburban.
"They take the kids?"
"Yep. It's just over an hour each way. Maybe an hour and a half in Costco. And they'll probably get dinner while they're out." She waggles her eyebrows as if he needs any encouragement.
Before she knows it, she's lifted into the air and thrown over his shoulder, and he's running for the house.
She squeals and grabs the back of his pants for balance. "Edward. Oh, my god. We have time!" She laughs, swatting his ass.
"And I want it all." He squeezes her thigh as he crosses the threshold and takes the stairs two at a time. "I'm going to fuck you so hard, they'll hear you in Sequim."
He tosses her on the bed and is over her faster than she thought possible. Her hands pull at his tee-shirt as he unbuckles his belt and lowers his jeans before working on hers. "I love your brother for helping us out and letting us stay here, but Jesus-fucking-Christ, we're never alone."
She nearly elbows him in the eye in the struggle to pull her shirt, sweater and bra off in one awkward motion.
"I miss you," he reminds her needlessly.
He pushes into her, making her reply breathy. "So much."
"If your birth control fails, we're naming him Woody, since I was chopping wood."
She burst into giggles. They both know it's not the right time, but he still teases her with silly names.
"Thank god it didn't fail that time you took me on that old logging road on the way to Burger King."
"That name was great."
He knows her string of "yeses" have nothing to do with the name Elroy.
I might watch Edward split wood all freaking day. Well...until Em and his brood pull out of the drive way. ;)
Geeky said I DEDed her as she fixed this flash up, but I sent Wood-spiliting-ward to give her mouth to mouth.
