Kerry started to say something but the telephone rang. He looked at me then the phone. Grabbing the receiver from the wall where it hung he said, “Hello.” A little gruffly. Spatula still in the other hand dripping grease on Esther’s clean floor. I watched the drips fall aimlessly to the floor distracted and not paying attention to Kerry’s conversation until I heard him refer to me.
“She’s right here,” Kerry said into the handset. “It’s Kat,” he told me with some embarrassment.
I felt like a naughty teenager caught in the act by Yancy or Esther. I reluctantly took the phone from Kerry and said, “Hey Kat, what’s up honey?” Trying to sound as normal as possible even though my insides felt like melting butter.
“Hi Mom,” Kat said using her most patronizing, I caught you teenager-knows-it-all tone of voice.
“What do you need dear?” I was trying my best to ignore her tone. Trying to get her off the phone as quickly as possible. Trying to hide my embarrassment from my daughter. I wasn’t embarrassed that we had made love. No never that. Only that we had been caught by our teenage daughter.
“Aunt Micki you’re right she slept with my Dad last night,” I heard my daughter say to my sister. Heat and a flush crept up my neck to the roots of my hair. Damn Michaela.
“Keegan you don’t know any such thing and tell your Aunt Michaela I would like to have a talk with her about her discussions with my daughter.”
“Well Mother, did you or didn’t you sleep at my Dad’s house?” Keegan asked me with the haughtiness of a know-it-all teenager.
Fuck this shit! What we did is none of your business or your aunts. Even though it was pretty amazingly hard core. “Keegan, you don’t question me.”
Kerry gazed at me skeptically and shook his head. Then he mouthed the words, “Better to be honest.”
I covered the phone and whispered, “I don’t need to give Keegan all the dirty details Kerry.”
Kerry simply smiled at me. “That isn’t what I meant. You know best.”
“Well Mother did you just sleep at my father’s house or have hot dirty monkey sex?”
My face flamed with embarrassment. Keegan wasn’t too far off the mark but she didn’t need to know that. She was being an obnoxious kid. She was trying to piss me the hell off and it was succeeding.
“Keegan, I am the mother. You are the child. I don’t have to explain anything to you,” I snapped.
“I’ll go with the hot dirty monkey sex,” she declared with a snarky meanness that caused a sharp intake of breath in me. “Mom, did you forget you have a husband? By the way, speaking of James, the dickhead called last night and this morning…ten times.” She was adding fuel to my nervous fire. “Mom, I’m not kidding. There were ten messages from him. He is fucking pissed.” She sounded almost elated. “We are waiting here for you to go see Nana. What do you want us to do?” The snark was gone from her voice. She sounded sad now.
“You watch your language young lady,” I said reprimanding Keegan. Damn, reality had a way of bitch slapping me in the face first thing in the morning and I hadn’t even had my morning coffee yet. “If he calls again tell him I spent the night at Issy’s house. I’ll call him later. I’ll meet you guys at the hospital.” It was wrong to make her lie to him hopefully he wouldn’t call again before they left for the hospital.
I laid the receiver back on the cradle and faced Kerry effectively cutting Keegan’s last words to me.
“I feel like when we were kids and Esther caught me sneaking out of your bedroom window…not the example I had wanted to set for my daughter.”
“Our daughter is just rubbing your nose in the fact that you had mad passionate dirty sex with her dad.” He took me in his arms and hugged me tight against his powerful chest reminding me of exactly what we had done last night while he nibbled on my neck, my ear lobe and finally my collar bone. Dammit he was good.
“She doesn’t know that but said something close to that.”
“Keegan knows. She’s a smart girl. Gab, you have always set a fine example for Kat. Don’t worry about her.” He stopped nibbling. Dammit. “If I’ve learned one thing from her in the last couple of weeks it’s that she’s a responsible young adult. Much more level headed than either of us were at her age.”
“How did that happen?” I asked him.
“God knows,” he replied starting his nibbling again first at my n
eck and earlobe slowly and seductively, making me forget my troubles once again.
We made love once again on Esther’s kitchen floor while the eggs and bacon burned in the skillets. Multiple orgasms later we showered together. His hands were gentle as they scrubbed my body clean rubbing my clit until I reached orgasm once more for Kerry McCoy. My legs felt like rubber. I didn’t think they would hold my weight in a standing position for much longer but Kerry held me upright with his arms while he kissed me senseless.
I wanted to collapse on the floor of the shower in a puddle. I never wanted to leave Kerry. I wanted a future with him, Keegan and multiple orgasms. God yes all those things and more! First things first. I had to face James and end that part of my life that had been a mistake. I had to in order to have a future with Kerry and Keegan.

Walking down the hallway towards my mother’s room I dreaded facing my daughter and three sisters. I knew that they would all know. When I walked into Yancy’s room they all stared at me as if I were an alien with purple skin and three heads blowing fire out my ass. They most definitely all knew. Probably Michaela, with her big mouth had told them what she had guessed.
They had arrived at Pop and Yancy’s house, found me missing and I had turned up at Kerry McCoy’s house the first place they had checked. Buck naked on his mother’s kitchen floor, in the shower, in his bedroom…twice during the night. Was I really that predictable? One broken condom and a couple times no condom.
