the Leathermines

The two apartment situation was good for them.  They lived within sight of each other, spent nights with each other, worked with each other.  It was also good when they could have some time away from each other.

This morning, Jackie’s note on her kitchen window said, ‘Smoothies?’.  She taped it up and went to get dressed.  She heard the door to her apartment open and close as she was in the bathroom, trying out some of the make-up Mary had gotten her.  There was a chuckle at the doorway.

“I look like a clown.”

Mark’s hand went to her shoulder and then slid down to her ass as he stepped into the bathroom.  “No, you don’t, babe.  You don’t need it.  You are beautiful.  Mary has been pushing at you again, hasn’t she?”

Jackie nodded and looked at the color she had just smeared on her eyelids.  The color palate had said mauve, but it looked like pinky purple with just a bit of brown to her.  She took a tissue and wiped at her eyes until most of the color was off.  Mark waited until the woman in his arms settled down a little before going in for a kiss.

Marks hands always ended up holding onto Jackie’s ass.  She had objected when they first were going out, but now she liked it.  He made no bones about his love of her butt and she was liking herself more, too.  It showed in many ways, but Mark just liked Jackie for herself.

It was a weekday.  They couldn’t just hop into bed, which both of them wanted that morning.  Mark had most of his work clothes on, his suit jacket hanging up next to his coat in the little hall.  Jackie still had to put her blouse on and that was cause for some distraction.

Mark held Jackie and started to kiss down her neck, heading for her breasts.  Her hands held his shoulders, feeling the heat coming from them from his morning weight lifting work out.  He had gotten level with her breasts, nuzzling into one when the phone rang.

They both laughed.  He got off his knee and brushed absently at it as Jackie went to answer the phone.

“... Hey!...  Um, not that I know of-”  Jackie pulled her new laptop open and looked for the calendar.  “Hold on.  Yes, I’m looking.”

Mark saw that whomever it was had taken all of Jackies’ attention.  She had mentioned smoothies, so he went ahead and started to make some.  He had introduced her to them after he had gained a few pounds from her baking.  He really liked her cooking, and just eating with her in general.  Mark worked out every day and did eat about twice as much as most people he knew.  When he started to go out with Jackie, he didn’t have to hide his appetite and she had started to make amazing crumbles and cakes and things he did not know the names of, but were almost as sweet as her lips. »Read More
