I want to especially thank A.D. he was very helpful in showing me how this side of the world worked. I appreciate his time he gave freely to answer my questions.

Also I would like to thank Maria. She has encouraged me by being my cheerleader in getting this story out. She probably is the first person that reads the book other than my editor.

Chapter 1

Even though Carly had set everything out for her family the night before they were still rushing to get ready for the wedding. Tim, her ten year old son, looked handsome in the white shirt and rose tie, Baily, her eight year old daughter, was pretty in a lighter shade rose frilly dress, and Stan her husband, looked very nice in the rose color shirt and the light pink tie. She had chosen a black dress with the permission of the bride to keep her not so slim shape look slender. The mother of the groom had a blocked dress on with the rose, light rose, beige, and black dress on to coordinate with the others.

Stan whispered in her ear, Wish it was our wedding. Then tonight we could have some time to ourselves for some good sex.

Carly laughed. That would be fun. But instead we get to babysit your brother’s two kids tonight.

Ugh, he said. I forgot. Maybe rent some movies and get them interested in them for at least twenty minutes of alone time.

Will see, she said. Time to go kids.

The kids turned off the television and followed them to the car. At least the weather was holding and no rain in sight. The church was ten minutes from their house. Carly saw the photographer outside taking pictures.

Hi, Carly, Raquel said. Okay smile for the camera. That was another good one.

Carly smiled at her and walked in. There was something about her she didn’t like. She didn’t know if it was she was petite and young or if it was her innocent look on life. She had said some things this week that disturbed Carly.

Raquel said, The wedding was beautiful. Jasmine was a beautiful bride and Craig was so  in love with her. The happiness was radiating from them.

The reception was in the park next to the church. Everything was going so well. Carly just couldn’t get the sad feeling go away. She couldn’t figure out why she was sad. She had everything; family, work she enjoyed, and a husband that loved her. She felt his hand on her shoulder.

Honey, it’s time to go, he said. Are you alright?

Carly smiled. Sorry was just thinking of our wedding day. She scooted out of the pew and walked with Stan. He grabbed her hand.

They sat at the table they were assigned. The kids wanted to go play with their cousins. But the pictures still needed to be taken before that could occur.

Maybe after the pictures, he said, we could sneak over to the hotel and spend some time together?

That sounds good to me, she said. She saw he looked hopeful. What was wrong with her she didn’t want to be with him this week? She watched him take out his phone and knew what he was doing. New friend?

Yes, he said. He showed her a picture of a topless woman but her face was half hidden. She is in town for family function and wants to meet. Would you mind if I snuck away for a while?

No, she said. Just be back in time for the toast.

He said, I will. It will be a quick one. But I still want you tonight.

I know, she said. She watched him send a message to the woman to see if she was available.

Raquel came over. Carly, bring your family over. We are going to have individual pictures of the families then with the bride and groom.

The pictures took about thirty minutes. Then they had the toast and the cutting of the cake. It was earlier than Carly thought. Guess that gives Stan longer to play. She shrugged. She sat at the table alone. Stan was chatting with his brother. Here comes Raquel again, Carly wanted to hide.

Hey, Carly, Raquel said.

Hi, Carly replied.

Look at the pictures, Raquel said. Your family looks so great. That is what I want in my family, she said, for Ted to look at me like Stan looks at you. This week has been so fun getting to know all of you.

Thank you, Carly said. Marriage is hard and you just have to work on it. Just remember to have time for the two of you and not forget the dating days when you fell in love with each other.

Very true, Raquel said. Her phone buzzed. Looks like I have a possible new job, I need to take this. She walked away. Yes, I can meet you for about twenty minutes. Yes, I know where that is I am close by. Okay will meet you there.

Guess she had some place to go, said Joanne.

Yes, something about a possible new job, said Carly. How does it feel having Craig married again?

It feels good, Joanne said. They have been living together anyway for two years. But now it feels official. So where is my other son?

Around, Carly said. I am sure he is on his phone somewhere trying to get more farmland to work. He has put a bid on land about fifty miles from here.

I think he told me about that, Joanne said. Bob will be happy to hear that the business is expanding.

How has Bob been feeling, Carly asked.

Good, I think it is just pride that got to him, Joanne said. He realizes now he can’t do everything Stan can do. He just isn’t that young anymore.

They sat silently eating the vegetables that were on the table.

Chapter 2

Stan opened the door in his hotel room. He was dressed only in a towel. He was surprised to see who waited on the other side.

Raquel, he said. You are Rocki?

You are Gene, she said.

Come in, he said.

She walked in not knowing what to do now. She really wanted the man that she had been talking to this last week. He was so hot and sexy but could she be with Carly’s husband? He sat beside her on the bed.

So, what do you want to do, he asked. He let the towel slide off for her to see.

She gulped. Her eyes got big. She moved from the bed to the floor and on her knees she took his luscious cock in her mouth. She was going after it. He was moaning. She knew she had him. She stood up and stripped down to only her g string. He pulled her close to him and began sucking on her breasts. Her satin panties were rubbing his cock.

You didn’t tell me you had milk, he said.

I still breastfeed my son, she said. Does it bother you?

Not at all, he said. He sucked more on her other breast. He moved back on the bed and told her to get on.

She got on and was moaning with pleasure feeling his cock go inside of her. She was riding him rough. She leaned her breasts over his face. He buried his face in her breast.

Time for me to go in that ass of yours, he said. "Want to lube me up with your milk?’

She squirted his cock with her milk. She was turned on by this man. He pounded her ass hard. She had never had this much fun on a meet. They briefly flopped on the bed. She wanted him again.

Can I see you again before I go home, she asked.

Will see, he said.

You did have fun didn’t you, she asked. She was kind of worried.

I did, he said. But I have Carly to take care of too and we have the extra kids at the house for a few days. Let me get back to the wedding first. You come in about fifteen minutes.

Chapter 3

Carly felt the warm breath going down her neck. She so wanted to be with him.

Hey baby, he said. He sat down and kissed her on the lips.

Mmm, she said. Did you have fun?

Yes, he said, I will tell you later tonight.

They sat there kissing and nuzzling when Raquel walked up.

Hey, you two, chill. This is a wedding, Raquel said.

Carly said, Not sure what it is but brings out the best in my man. She leaned in for more kissing. She knew that Raquel walked away. Stan never left her side from that moment on except to get the kids rounded up to go home. Craig and Jasmine were off.

Mind if I come over and take some casual pictures of the kids tonight, Raquel asked.

Carly opened her mouth to say something but she was surprised to hear Stan answer.

No, he said, tonight is family only. I think you are finished with your picture taking for this wedding.

Sorry, she said, I didn’t realize I was overstepping my welcome. She turned and walked away.

Carly looked at Stan. He said, I just want it to be family tonight.

I couldn’t agree more, she said. But still made her wonder why he spoke up so quickly.

The night was filled with hide and seek, kick ball and pizza. They had a great time. The kids were asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillows.

Great idea, Carly said.

Time for some alone time with my wife, he said.

They retreated to the bedroom. Carly laid on the bed nude for him to begin. She waited with her eyes closed and then she felt his face in her pussy. All the fears and the worries for the past week living up to Raquel’s great family ideas faded away. She was in her personal heaven. The more she moaned the more he worked her. Then she felt him go inside of her and his hands massaging her breasts. Their bodies were in tune with each other. She felt him release inside of her. He laid on top of her. She caressed his head. She never wanted to lose him. He moved off her and told her to get on all fours. This was it he was going to relive his play time with her. If only the woman knew how he gets off talking about it and pounds her hard.

Oh, baby, he said. She surprised me with milk flowing out of her breasts. I drank from them probably longer than I should have and she road me for a while. I told her to lube me with her breast milk and pounded her ass. She was so delicious. She orgasmed just thinking about me inside her with her milk on. It was a little hard to pound her. Her hips aren’t like yours. But she took it all in. He stopped talking and unloaded in her.

Carly was enjoying herself. They laid beside each other. He was nuzzled up to her breast. She wished she still had milk. What was her name, she asked. Did you take pictures?

No time for pictures, he said. It was Raquel.

What do you mean, Raquel, she asked. She felt like her stomach was hit.

You know, Raquel the photographer, he said. She wants me again before she leaves.

No, Carly said. I don’t want you to talk to her again.

Why, he asked.

No, she said. She will wreck our life we have together. She will want you for more than a fuckbuddy.

Okay, he said. If that is what you want. I won’t talk to her again.

He left to go clean up in the bathroom. She laid there sick to her stomach. How could he? Didn’t he know she couldn’t stand her? She knew that girl was trouble. Stan didn’t look at them as women but someone to fuck. He loved the fuck not the woman. He loved her but Raquel won’t understand that. What was she going to do?

Raquel was surprised to get a notification. It said, Hey there, Carly knows and she doesn’t want us to meet. I am sorry.  She sat there stunned. She knew that Carly must know but he told her about them? But he said Carly said they couldn’t meet not that he didn’t want to meet. She knew what she would do and set up the camera to video. She knew what he would want the most. Then she sent him a video. She wrote for your pleasure and you know how to contact me if you want to see me again. He didn’t respond so she went to bed.

Stan came back to bed. He stroked her back. I won’t see her again, Carly, he said. "I love you.

She snuggled closer to him. She could feel his warm breath on her neck. She loved him so much but how could she keep going like this. She knew he was relaxed and had fallen asleep. She laid there thinking of what went wrong in her life. How did I let it get so out of control? She closed her eyes and began methodically going through her life.

Chapter 4

Carly was back in high school again. She had a boyfriend but it wasn’t Stan. He was just a friend. Carly thought about the night she lost her virginity. The guy was the captain of the basketball team. They had dated for a year. Her parents left for the weekend to go to a Seminar on Education in Chicago. They felt Carly was old enough to stay home alone. So did Carly. He was a virgin too. They made out watching a movie. The kissing got pretty hot and his hands were going everywhere. She remembered it was her first time taking off her clothes in front of a boy. He had her top off and was fumbling with the bra. She let it
