“Listen to us. We sound like a real couple already. I like it. No… I love it, and I love you.”
    “I love you too. Call, if you want me to grab a few things later.”
    “Okay, bye.” The bell above the door jingled as Mia walked out. She looked back through the window smiling, and blew Aaron a kiss before she disappeared around the corner.
    My God, how did I get so lucky? I finally have the woman I’ve loved for almost twenty years. Aaron grinned and went back to work.
    It was six o’clock when Aaron opened the front door of Mia’s house with his own key. It felt right. His mind drifted back to earlier that morning. So much had happened, and yet it was still the same day. Unbelievable, he thought, as he set the groceries on the kitchen counter. Aaron didn’t want to startle Mia, so he called out to her. He heard the sound of the shower running in the master bathroom.
    “I’m taking a shower, Aaron. I’ll be out in a few minutes.”
    “Would you like some company? I’m suddenly feeling very dirty.”
    “You’re crazy. Of course I would love some company. Get in here and wash my back.”
    “Gladly.” Aaron stripped naked and entered the large, steaming shower. He took the wash cloth from her hand and lathered it up with soap. Mia’s knotted shoulders and back relaxed as Aaron kneaded them with the soapy cloth. She turned to face him. Aaron looked Mia over longingly, and smiled as he continued. He cupped her breasts in his hands as he gently caressed each one. Their kisses were long and passionate. Aaron continued downward with the lathered washcloth. Mia’s body stiffened when he reached that perfect spot. Aaron licked and flicked her nipples with his tongue as he pressed his growing shaft against her belly. Mia moaned in ecstasy. This was the man she desired.
    “Aaron, I want you.”
    “I’m here for you, babe.” Aaron lowered himself on the tiled shower seat while Mia straddled his legs. She slowly inched herself down onto his hard, throbbing shaft while she kissed his neck and nuzzled his earlobes.
    “You drive me crazy.” Aaron whispered his desire for his blonde haired beauty. He thrust his shaft into her as she bore down on it.
    Mia rode him until they both exploded in an orgasmic frenzy. Making love with Aaron was pure bliss. He was all she ever needed.

    Vic was a nervous wreck. Tomorrow, she would be spending the entire day with Max. She never thought much about having a serious boyfriend. It never mattered to her one way or another. She already had the best friends in the world, and a huge extended family. She was fine with that, and completely content in her singleness. Now Max Cole was in the picture, and she liked him a lot. Vic dated occasionally, but she never had the perfect man handed to her on a silver platter. Now that she did, she had no idea what to do with him. It made her nervous, as gorgeous as he was.
    I’ve got to talk to Mia. I’ll see if she wants to do lunch. It was still early, only eight o’clock, but Vic couldn’t wait any longer. “Mia, do you want to do lunch today, just the two of us?”
    “Sure, Vic. I have a family portrait at ten, but noon is fine. It’s a local family anyway, so I’ll be in town. What’s up? Why not invite Tina?”
    “We need to talk about Max. I told you we’re taking his Harley to Rhinebeck tomorrow, right?”
    “Yep, I remember you saying that. It should be a lot of fun.” Mia poured a second cup of coffee while they talked.
    “I know, Chica, but… well, we just have to talk first.”
    “Okay, no problem. When and where?”
    “Let’s meet at Morey’s at noon.”
    “Okay, out.”
    “Thanks, Mia. Out.”
    Vic waited anxiously at the long, dark, bar just inside the door at Morey’s. She made the usual small talk with Morey while she stared absently at the menu. She knew the usual fare by heart, and Friday’s fish fry special, but food didn’t matter right now. Her nerves were out of control and she had to talk to Mia.
