“Thanks, Campbell.” She says as I take her hand and help her into the truck.
We make the drive to the city in under an hour, beating all of the rush hour traffic. Salem tells me about her day and asks me what I did as we drive and finally, we pull up outside the restaurant. We park and walk the half block to the doors and when she sees where we’re going, she squeals and pulls on my arm, urging me to move faster. I laugh but oblige and soon we’re inside and being seated.
Salem spends the meal talking about how nice the restaurant is, all of the décor, and moaning over the food. I’ll admit, the food is good but I would still take a home cooked meal from Salem any day. We finish up at the restaurant and I pay the bill before taking her hand in mine and leading her back to the truck.
“Thanks, Campbell. That was a great anniversary.” She says, kissing my cheek.
“It’s not over yet, princess.” I say as I steer back into traffic and head for our hotel.
We pull up outside a couple of minutes later and I grab the small overnight bag I hid in the backseat. I take her hand and she smiles at me as we walk inside and check in. She wraps her arms around my waist as we ride the elevator up to our floor. I find our room and slide the keycard, opening the door and letting Salem walk in first.
She walks in and looks around, poking her head into the bathroom as she goes. The room is large and decorated in creams and golds. It’s nice looking and relaxing and I hope that Salem likes it. She spins around and smiles at me.
“Mr. McConnely! You really went all out this year.” She says as she makes her way across the floor towards me.
My eyes are transfixed by the subtle sway of her hips and before I know it, she’s in front of me. Her hands wrap around my waist and she leans up on her toes to kiss me. As soon as her lips meet mine, her fingers are in my beard. Even after all these years she still can’t seem to get enough of it.
Our tongues tangle and I walk her back towards the bed as she starts to pull at my clothes. Having three small kids means that we’ve gotten really good at the quickie sex. I have to force myself to slow my hands and when Salem’s fingers still frantically pull at my clothes, I pull away.
“We don’t have to rush, princess. We have all night remember? We can take our time.”
“It’s been too long. I need you now, Campbell. Right now, I just want it hard and fast. I want to scream your name and not have to hold back or worry about one of the kids hearing us. We have all night so you can fuck me slow next time.”
She blinks her blue eyes clouded with lust up at me and just like when we met, I am powerless to deny her anything. We pull our clothes off quick and she pushes me down onto the bed before coming down after me. I take her fast and hard the first time and then the fourth and fifth time and eventually Salem passes out on top of me with a happy smile on her face.
I kiss her forehead and think about how lucky I am that I went walking in the woods all of those years ago. I found my princess, my best friend, my wife and partner. I don’t know what I would do or where I would be without her but luckily, I don’t need to find out.
The End.
