Michael grinned at him. “Never say never.”

“I’m saying never for right now,” Jace replied. “Things are going so well for us in that department, I’m sure as hell not going to mess it up.”

Michael sized Jace up. “Don’t you find sex between just the two of you a little mundane after you’ve experienced the sexual rush of doing it when others are around? If Piper and I decide to leave the lifestyle behind, it’s going to be a big switch. But, honestly, if that’s what makes her happy, I’ll do it.”

“It’s not mundane at all,” Jace answered. There was sincerity in his voice. “We’ve figured out together what makes us tick. It didn’t end up being other people for us. It was the idea of other people. Maybe we’re just lucky that way. Caroline has fully embraced her fantasies, and let me tell you, that girl has ridiculously hot dreams. I can’t get enough. If I repeated them to you right now, you’d go find Piper immediately. They’re that smokin’.”

“I envy you guys for figuring it out,” Michael said. “I hope to be there soon. I’m ready for Piper and I to find our happy place.”

“I hope you find it, too,” Jace said. “Sexual harmony rocks.”

“I need to talk to her. I don’t think she understands that I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make her happy.”

“She’ll know once you tell her,” Jace said. Then he sprang out of his seat. “Did you see that touchdown? They won! They fucking won!”

Michael chuckled as he popped open another Bud. “Let’s hope that brings me good luck and better beer.”

When Piper finally got home from her impromptu happy hour with the girls, it was almost one a.m. After she’d gotten everything off her chest, and the girls had helped her, she’d relaxed and had so much fun. They’d ended the evening coming up with a good strategy for attending an orgy. Gillian was going to call her tomorrow after she set everything up.

Piper had left the bar feeling strong and free from some of the sexual demons that had been chasing her around all these years.

She walked into the master bath and brushed her teeth, then changed into her PJs, which consisted of one of Michael’s old T-shirts from college. She loved wearing them. Michael usually slept naked.

She tried to be quiet as she slid into bed so she wouldn’t wake Michael, but he stirred as she pulled the covers over her shoulder.

“Did you have fun?” he mumbled as he reached for her, tugging her close and nuzzling her neck.

“I did,” she purred. “The girls are all geniuses. And I have a surprise for you that I think you’re going to absolutely love.”

“You do?” he asked. “That’s great.” He kissed her ear, taking the lobe between his lips. She shivered. “I have one, too,” he whispered.

Piper snuggled back into him. “Really? What?”

“I want to drop the top ten,” he said, his voice still heavy with sleep. “I prefer us spontaneous. The elevator at Le Repas, that’s what I love.”

“That sounds perfect to me.” Piper smiled from ear to ear. “My surprise can be the cherry on top of a great run. I really think you’re going to love it.”

“If it involves you naked, I know I will.” He suddenly rolled on top of her, covering her mouth with his. He still wasn’t totally awake, but that just made it more sensuous.

She took hold of his tongue, raking her fingers up his back. When they came up for air, she said, “I thought we weren’t going to have sex at home.” Her voice was teasing.

They were so having sex tonight.

“All bets are off,” Michael whispered in her ear. “We have sex whenever we feel like it, wherever we feel like it.”

“I like the sound of that,” she cooed. “But I want to be on top, sleepy boy.” In one motion, she pushed his shoulders back, rolling him over. He went willingly, a smile on his lips. She straddled him at the same time she lifted her shirt over her head.

His hands immediately found her breasts, and he sat up, taking one in his mouth. As he sucked, her head fell back in bliss, her fingers gripping his strong shoulders. “Your breasts are fantastic,” he murmured. “I can never get enough.”

Piper began to gyrate against his hips, his hard-on pressing against her stomach since he’d sat up. “Most breasts are fantastic,” she told him. “But by all means, savor them.” She guided his head to the other side, where he feasted on her like he hadn’t eaten a meal in weeks. “Ahh.”

Piper wasn’t drunk. She’d stopped after two drinks, but something about the night, and how she felt now, made this interlude with her husband all the sweeter.

Maybe it was because she finally felt relaxed?

She pressed Michael back down gently, sorry to see his mouth go. The air tickled her wet nipples. “I’m going to ride you now, Mikey. And I’m going to do it hard. I hope you have no objections.” Before he could answer, she lifted her ass up, positioned him at her opening, and sank down, seating herself on him fully.

That first penetration, when the tip of his cock broke through her seal, was the best part.

She threw her head back and began to roll her hips.

“I’m not complaining,” Michael said as he placed his hands on her hips, both of them quickly finding a matching rhythm.

Piper pressed her fingers into his chest, rocking her hips on the downstroke to make sure every single inch of him was inside her. “I think you’re going to like my surprise, Mikey,” she panted as she rode his cock again and again. His hands left her hips and slid up her torso, finding their way to her sensitive nipples. As she bounced, he pinched lightly, rolling them between his fingertips.

“I’m sure I will,” he said gruffly, his voice lusty.

Abruptly, she slid off his cock, quickly shifting her position before he could react. She gripped him again and guided him into her wet sheath, but now she was facing the other direction, riding him even harder, her hands on his thighs. She loved reverse cowgirl because his cock hit her in exactly the right place. “Yes,” she moaned as his hands gripped her ass, urging her on. She pumped her hips, increasing her speed as she closed her eyes. The noise of their coupling reverberated around the room.

“Piper,” Michael half-groaned, “I’m not going to last.”

“I’m close, babe,” she said through her short breaths, still keeping up the pace. “Your cock is hitting me perfectly.”

“But I want it to last.” He grabbed her hips and pulled her down, seating her on his dick and locking her there. She followed his lead, curious about what he had in mind. He sat up, still holding her to him, and scooted them both to the bottom of the bed, hanging his legs over so his feet hit the ground. “Push your feet against the bedframe and use it as leverage,” he told her. “And then fuck me like you just were.”

She moaned as she did as he asked.

They had a wooden footboard that sat lower than the mattress. She braced her feet against it as Michael made sure the angle was right. She pushed out once with her feet, Michael aiding her with his hands, and then he quickly brought her back down again.

“Oh, yes,” she bit out.

“I’ve always wanted to try this with you,” Michael told her.

Piper couldn’t find any more words as she mindlessly pushed forward and bounced back. The position was excellent, and Michael’s cock rubbed against her G-spot repeatedly. She balanced her hands on Michael’s thighs to steady herself, and once she got going, Michael’s hands made their way up her body, cupping her breasts.

When he placed his thumbs and index fingers on either side of her nipples and rubbed them back and forth as she rocked, she yelled, “I’m close!” as she arched her chest.

“I want you to come hard,” Michael groaned. “All over my big cock—”

Piper broke apart.

She bent forward, her orgasm coming in wave after wave.

Michael reached around her middle to hold her to him while he came, calling her name.
