If you are new to Ellie and Jody, STOP. Go back to the beginning, you won't be sorry.
This is a love story. Yes there's plenty of sex in the series, but ultimately my goal is to write a real love story. I work hard to create depth and realism in my characters.

******************
Thanksgiving was in 4 days. We had 2 days of school then 5 days off. Jody had taken the same days off I had. It was Sunday night and I was ridiculously anxious about our first holiday here, together. I had been pacing between the kitchen and the pantry making sure I had all the nonperishables needed for the meal.
All our kids were with their fathers. Jessie had finally agreed to see Evan. He picked her up from school yesterday and Tim went over also. They wouldn't be back until tomorrow. I was trying not to be mad that I was losing 2 days with Jessie. It wasn't working. Joe had picked up Madi and Kevin after dinner. They would be back on Thanksgiving morning. This meant Joe would have them Christmas Morning.
"Sit down Ellie. You have everything. We have no kids here tonight. Get on this couch with me now!"
I stopped moving and looked at her. Living together hadn't been all sunshine and roses over the last few weeks. Getting used to everyone's quirks and schedules and our different styles of parenting had left me pretty anxious most of the time. I had avoided breakdowns, thanks to updated meds, a new therapist, and Jody. She was truly everything I wanted in this world.
We hadn't had a single full night with no kids since they moved in, until tonight. "Sit down El, please. I miss you."
I looked at her. How could she possibly miss me? I was here, we were both here if we weren't at work. "I miss having you to myself. I want to watch a movie with you. Just you."
"Let me just.." I didn't get a chance to finish, she grabbed my hand and pulled me down to the couch. I landed on her, my lips to hers. She couldn't have done that better if she planned it, maybe she did, I wasn't sure. It was not a comfortable position, but I made it work for a few minutes of kissing her. When I could finally pull myself away from her lips, we both sat up.
She tucked herself into the recliner end of the couch and I tucked myself into her. My legs ran along hers, our feet nearly intertwined. I pulled the blanket over us both. Her warmth and the rhythm of her breathing instantly calmed me further. She had picked out one of my favorites from the 80's. 'Flight of the Navigator'. I loved when she did that. Picked one she knew I loved when I was a kid. I knew it would appeal to me way more than her. Which was rare.
We sat curled up together for the next 90 minutes. I couldn't help but wonder if we would always want to do this. Just be together. I loved this change in our lives. This ability to just sit and be us together, without worrying who would see and wonder. Everything changes over time. I didn't want this to ever change. I knew letting my mind wander there wasn't a good idea, did my best to shut off the thoughts before they got too big.
When the movie ended, the last thing I wanted to do was move away from her. She clicked it over to cable and we stayed snuggled up together. The weeks of sleeping next to each other every night hadn't done much to fill my need to simply be near her. Sometimes I worried I was too attached, too reliant on her. Somehow, I nuzzled in even closer, wrapped my arm around her waist and sighed. Her arm was around my shoulder, her fingers trailing up and down my arm. I felt her kiss my head.
"El. Ellie." I lifted my head up. I had fallen asleep. "Let's go to bed. It's late." I sat up and yawned. I still wasn't totally used to not having to leave her at night. It felt like she woke me to go to bed most nights because I didn't want to leave her side.
We walked up together, got to the room and I crawled under the covers, could barely keep my eyes open. The hike I had gone on earlier in the day had caught up with me. Soon she was climbing in next to me. I was already half asleep, felt her lips on mine. Felt them again. My eyes wouldn't open though. I rolled over on my side. My back towards her.
She sighed and I felt her warmth close in on me. Sleep was fully taking me. I vaguely felt her arm drape over me.
It was cold when I woke up. I rolled over, searching for her. She wasn't in bed. I spied the clock, 5:01 am. We didn't have kids to get off to school, I wondered why she was out of bed so early. I let myself lay there for a minute. My morning anger had subsided drastically in the weeks of waking up next to her. Stretching I got up; went and brushed my teeth then headed downstairs.
The smell of coffee hit me as I made it to the bottom of the stairs. She was standing at the island with the newspaper and a steaming cup in front of her. It didn't matter how many times I saw her, every single time I was hit with how much I adored her. She made every part of my existence better.
She Çırpı Escort (https://www.pompaci.net/izmir/cirpi) looked up as I walked in, "Morning."
"Morning." I walked over and put my arms around her. She put her coffee down and slipped hers around me. "How did you sleep?"
I kissed her before I answered. "Good. You?" I didn't let her answer for a few minutes. I finally left her lips and poured myself a cup.
"I slept okay." Her tone seemed off. I stood at the counter and sipped my coffee watching her.
"Is everything okay?" I was getting better about communicating instead of turning everything over to my anxiety.
She came over and gave me a small kiss. " Everything is fine. I just missed you last night. You fell back asleep so fast."
"Oh." I instantly felt bad. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I was just hoping for a different ending to the night. We haven't had a night totally alone in so long." She paused and smiled. " I'm going to shower." She left my arms and headed up to our room.
I hated when we weren't on the same page. I let myself stew for a few minutes then went upstairs. The shower was still running. My sweats fell to the floor as I went into the bathroom. She was singing along to her 80s music. I opened the shower door and entered the steam. The hot water was running down her back. I bit my lip as I watched the streams make their way down her ass.
She turned to me; didn't look surprised to see me. I closed the small gap between us, said nothing. My lips were on hers. Gentle at first. She didn't kiss me back right away. My tongue ran over her lower lip as my hand ran down her chest, stopping briefly at her nipple. I felt it harden under my thumb. I slipped my tongue between her lips as I slipped my fingers between her legs.
She moaned into my mouth, started kissing me back. Hard. The hot water was spilling over us both. Her back was against the tile. My mouth stayed on hers, my other hand at her breast tugging and squeezing. My fingers and thumb doing their work between her legs. Her body responded to my touch; her legs opened a little more. She was swollen and warm. My fingers wanted to live there, wanted to stay deep within the warmth. I loved every warm part of her body.
Her head arched back, pulling her lips away from mine. Her hands were on my shoulders, nails digging in. My lips went to her neck and collarbone then her nipples. Her fingers dug deeper as her legs started to wobble under her. I put my arm behind her to help her stay upright. She clenched down on my hand, squeezed her thighs. My lips went back to her mouth as her body trembled. I watched as she came down from her high.
She released my hand and I squeezed her ass tight in both my hands, " I fucking love you."
Both of her arms went around my neck. "Love you more."

Work was pure chaos. Not a single student or staff member really wanted to be there, and it showed. I had been running interference for two days and I just wanted to be home. The only good part about today was that Jessie was with me. Well, she came with me this morning but was visiting all her old teachers and friends most of the day. It felt so good to have her back inside these walls, even if it was only for a day.
"Mom, ready?" She poked her head in my office. We were leaving campus for an hour and going to lunch. Just us.
"Yep." I grabbed my purse and locked my office door. We stopped long enough for me to remind Tina that I was taking a long lunch.
"Enjoy."
"Hey Mrs. E. Um I mean Mrs. W; can we talk when you get back?" Most of the students were still calling me Mrs. E, even though I had gone back to my maiden name before the school year had begun.
"Of course, Cam, I'll call you down when I get back." We left campus and went to our favorite restaurant in town, a little hole-in-the-wall place with the best Latin food around.
Things had been awkward with Evan, she told me. I tried to assure her it would go back to normal. I wanted them to have a decent relationship with their father. "I don't want what used to be normal back though. He cannot seem to accept I'm a thinking human being capable of my own ideas and views."
Without even asking, I knew that Jody and I were the 'issue'. Evan had threatened to take me back to court after our confrontation on move in day. Was going to fight for full custody of Tim. When Jody had moved in, he threatened me again with court. The threat fizzled out, there was no way Evan wanted to be solely responsible for his kid. I knew this but was going to be worried it would happen again until Tim turned 18.
I sighed but said nothing to Jessie. We ordered food and continued to talk. It did my heart good hearing how well she was settled into college life. I was even happier when she talked about coming home on winter break. A whole month.
"I was thinking about seeing if they needed any help in the school while I'm back. Subbing or whatever."
"I'm certain that can be arranged. We always need subs."
The Çırpı Escort Bayan (https://www.pompaci.net/izmir/cirpi) food came and our chatter continued. "So, have you taken that job at the college?"
My official offer to be an adjunct professor had come last week. I hadn't realized that I never told her I had accepted it. I also would officially have my master's in creative writing in a week. "I did. It's only one class a week but I'm looking forward to it."
"You're going to do amazing with it, mom." I wish I had her confidence in myself.
We talked about the holiday. How crazy the house would be, both of us hoping things stayed calm. She looked at me with those worried eyes I hadn't seen in a long time.
"I'll be fine Jess." I smiled. We were having the 6 of us plus Jody's parents, her brother and his wife and kids. I had only met her brother twice, her parents several times when we were 'friends'. My brain was a mess every time I thought about it. I tried not to think about it.
"What do I call them?" She asked me.
"Just Mr. and Mrs. Miller. Unless they tell you otherwise." Jody's family was only staying for the day, for the meal. Her parents were leaving for Florida the next day. They wintered there. Her brother and his family were off to his wife's family's stuff after we ate. Which was why we were eating at 1pm. Jody was doing the baking; I was in charge of cooking. She had already told me her parents were excited she wasn't cooking.
Friday we planned a family day home just the 6 of us. Board games, movies, leftovers. Whatever the kids wanted. The plan was still for Jody and me to bring Jessie back to school on Saturday morning. I hadn't told Jody yet, but I booked a hotel for us that night. Joe was taking their kids and I planned Tim just staying home. Joe had offered to take Tim too. I would tell Jody right before we left. We would both need the time away after the holiday stress. I had even booked her a massage. She would be mad at me at first but love it.
We finished eating and headed back to campus. The rest of the day moved slowly but eventually it was time to leave.
I was home before Jody, like usual and started prepping for Thanksgiving. I was mashing the squash for tomorrow when I heard Jody come home. She came in to see me before she got changed. "How was work?"
She put bags of take out on the counter next to me, "It was work." She dipped her finger into the squash. "Yum. I'm so glad you can cook," then kissed me. "I'll be back down in a few." And she headed upstairs.
I laughed. "Jessie, Tim can you guys get the table set?" One thing that had been a big change for us, was family meals. They were important to Jody, so on the nights most of us were here, we ate together in my rarely used dining room. It was something I looked forward to. Tonight, we got Chinese food, I was going to be cooking enough tomorrow. It was just the 4 of us, but we were going to eat together.
Soon we were sitting around the table eating and talking. I missed Madi and Kevin, but I was so happy Jessie was home with us. I found myself wishing for Friday when all the kids would be here.
Tim was telling us about work. He had started a job at the local bike shop, was loving being in the shop and around 'his people' so much. I loved listening to him talk about bikes, had no clue what most of what he said was, but the passion in his voice blew me away. For so many years I had worried about him. He was always a little left of 'normal', stuck out when around his school peers. The last almost 3 years, since he found mountain biking, he had changed. He had come into himself.
Jessie was going over a friends for a couple of hours and Tim was in his room playing video games. We were getting up early to get the house ready and to cook and bake. I went upstairs, got sweats on then laid down on the couch. A few minutes later Jody came in the living-room and sat by my feet. She clicked on the TV and put her arm on my legs.
I sat up and moved to lay my head on her lap. She took the blanket off the back of the couch and covered me up. I sighed deeply. "Everything okay hun?" Her hand was already running through my hair.
"Very much so." I felt her lean down and kiss the top of my head. My eyes were already heavy, her breathing and warmth lulled them closed before the end of the opening credits.
The door closing startled me awake. It took me a moment to remember where I was. Jessie's voice hit me before I had completely regained my ability to think. She was in the living-room. "Oh mom, sorry I didn't mean to wake you."
I rubbed my eyes and sat up, she plunked down where my legs had just been. "It's okay. What time is it?" I looked at Jody as I said it.
"9."
"You're home early." I was coming out of my sleepy haze.
"I figured you two would want some help tomorrow, so I wanted to get to bed early."
"Need anything to eat?" Jody asked her.
"Nope, I'm good. Good night mom, night Jody." She gave me a big hug as she got Escort Çırpı (https://www.pompaci.net/izmir/cirpi) up and went upstairs. "I'm gonna tell Tim to not stay up late."
"Okay." I yawned as I replied to her.
"Let's go." Jody said and started to get up. I didn't move. "Ellie." She tugged my arm. I finally stood up and followed her upstairs. I stopped at the top of the stairs and went to say good night to Tim. Then knocked on Jessie's door.
I walked in and she was sitting on her bed. She looked up, "Everything okay?"
"Yep. Just wanted to say goodnight again. I'm really glad you're home for a few days."
"Me too mom. Goodnight, I love you." She stood up and gave me another hug.
Jody was already under the blankets when I got to our room. I used the bathroom then joined her. Her back was to me, I moved close to her, pulled her in closer. "Good night love." She sleepily mumbled goodnight. I fell asleep with her in my arms.
My alarm went off entirely too early. Anger hit me the second I woke up. I was always angry when I woke, but this was the angriest I had been in weeks. It was the stress of the holiday. Dreams of everything going wrong that could today had plagued me all night. Of her parents wanting to know what happened during the year I wasn't in Jody's life. Them telling me that I wasn't good enough for her. Of them deciding she couldn't be with me and her leaving with them. I shut off the alarm and laid on my back, put my pillow over my face. I didn't want to disturb Jody while I dealt with my anger and worry.
There was movement next to me; figured my alarm woke her. We had so much to do before her family arrived. She had been assuring me all week her family was good with us, with me, my kids. With everything. I didn't understand how they could be. I was certain today would be awkward and weird and hard. I was already a ball of stress and hadn't even gotten out of bed.
The pillow was lifted off my face. Jody was smiling at me. I groaned and closed my eyes, turned my head away from her. I did not want to ruin the day with my mood. I felt her lips on my neck. "Jo.."
She stopped me from finishing. I opened my eyes part way and looked at her. Tried to talk again. "Shhhh." She put her finger to my lips. "You are so tense El." She slipped further under the covers, tugged at my sweats, had them off in a flash.
The warmth of her mouth met the warmth of my flesh and my body reacted instantly. Low moans escaped my mouth, as her mouth licked and flicked and sucked. I slowly began grinding my hips, increasing our contact. One of her hands was on my stomach, the other under my ass.
She nipped at my thighs then went back to my folds and clit. Fire was building. She stopped, came up to me, kissed me. Her knee was between my legs grinding into me. "Oh, fuck Jody." She kissed me again. Left traces of my juices on my face then went back under and down.
She pushed my knees up, spreading me wider. Her arm was hooked around my bent knee working my clit as her tongue plunged in and out, licking and tasting me. My own hands were on my nipples, rolling and pinching them.
Jody took my clit in her mouth, sucked and flicked. Her hand was laced into one of mine now as I felt myself getting ready to tip over the edge. Just as I was ready to explode she stopped. Her mouth went back to the skin on the inside of the thighs. The tip of her tongue traced a vein I couldn't see. Down. Up. Over. Down. Up in. Again, our warmth met.
She unlaced her hand from mine and added pressure to my clit as her mouth teased me to the edge again. "Let me this time." I managed to say between my panting breaths. She nipped on my skin, took my bud in her mouth again and squeezed my ass, trailed her finger from my puckered hole to my slippery depths. "Fuck". This time she didn't let up and my body was rocked with bolts of pleasure. I prayed the kids weren't awake yet, because I couldn't stay quiet.
When I was done she came up on the pillow with me. "How ya feeling?" I grabbed the back of her neck, pulled her in tighter and showed her. She pulled away a few moments later. "I love you Ellie, but we need to get moving."
I tried to stop her from getting out of bed. It didn't work. "Eleanor. We have a lot to do and I'd like to have time to have coffee with you before things get crazy." She pulled the blanket off me. I groaned again as I pulled my sweats back on and got up.
I didn't let her open the door until I got a few more quality kisses. "You are my favorite human."
We headed downstairs and started coffee. Jody made cinnamon rolls and we each had one. I got the turkey ready for the oven just as Jessie and Tim made their way down. The next few hours were cooking and cleaning up, showering, getting the tables set and everyone ready before Jody's family all arrived.
Madi and Tim got there first. Jody put them right to work helping. It wasn't long and the house was filled with the chaos of 4 teenagers. I had gotten used to it, more or less. Jessie home added another layer to the noise, but I loved that. Tim and Madi were doing well living in the same house while dating. At least from what we could tell. It was eerily quiet the weeks Kevin and Madi were with their father. I was very much looking forward to Christmas break when they would all be here with me.
This is a love story. Yes there's plenty of sex in the series, but ultimately my goal is to write a real love story. I work hard to create depth and realism in my characters.

She put bags of take out on the counter next to me, "It was work." She dipped her finger into the squash. "Yum. I'm so glad you can cook," then kissed me. "I'll be back down in a few." And she headed upstairs.
I laughed. "Jessie, Tim can you guys get the table set?" One thing that had been a big change for us, was family meals. They were important to Jody, so on the nights most of us were here, we ate together in my rarely used dining room. It was something I looked forward to. Tonight, we got Chinese food, I was going to be cooking enough tomorrow. It was just the 4 of us, but we were going to eat together.
Soon we were sitting around the table eating and talking. I missed Madi and Kevin, but I was so happy Jessie was home with us. I found myself wishing for Friday when all the kids would be here.
Tim was telling us about work. He had started a job at the local bike shop, was loving being in the shop and around 'his people' so much. I loved listening to him talk about bikes, had no clue what most of what he said was, but the passion in his voice blew me away. For so many years I had worried about him. He was always a little left of 'normal', stuck out when around his school peers. The last almost 3 years, since he found mountain biking, he had changed. He had come into himself.
Jessie was going over a friends for a couple of hours and Tim was in his room playing video games. We were getting up early to get the house ready and to cook and bake. I went upstairs, got sweats on then laid down on the couch. A few minutes later Jody came in the living-room and sat by my feet. She clicked on the TV and put her arm on my legs.
I sat up and moved to lay my head on her lap. She took the blanket off the back of the couch and covered me up. I sighed deeply. "Everything okay hun?" Her hand was already running through my hair.
"Very much so." I felt her lean down and kiss the top of my head. My eyes were already heavy, her breathing and warmth lulled them closed before the end of the opening credits.
The door closing startled me awake. It took me a moment to remember where I was. Jessie's voice hit me before I had completely regained my ability to think. She was in the living-room. "Oh mom, sorry I didn't mean to wake you."
I rubbed my eyes and sat up, she plunked down where my legs had just been. "It's okay. What time is it?" I looked at Jody as I said it.
"9."
"You're home early." I was coming out of my sleepy haze.
"I figured you two would want some help tomorrow, so I wanted to get to bed early."
"Need anything to eat?" Jody asked her.
"Nope, I'm good. Good night mom, night Jody." She gave me a big hug as she got Escort Çırpı (https://www.pompaci.net/izmir/cirpi) up and went upstairs. "I'm gonna tell Tim to not stay up late."
"Okay." I yawned as I replied to her.
"Let's go." Jody said and started to get up. I didn't move. "Ellie." She tugged my arm. I finally stood up and followed her upstairs. I stopped at the top of the stairs and went to say good night to Tim. Then knocked on Jessie's door.
I walked in and she was sitting on her bed. She looked up, "Everything okay?"
"Yep. Just wanted to say goodnight again. I'm really glad you're home for a few days."
"Me too mom. Goodnight, I love you." She stood up and gave me another hug.
Jody was already under the blankets when I got to our room. I used the bathroom then joined her. Her back was to me, I moved close to her, pulled her in closer. "Good night love." She sleepily mumbled goodnight. I fell asleep with her in my arms.
My alarm went off entirely too early. Anger hit me the second I woke up. I was always angry when I woke, but this was the angriest I had been in weeks. It was the stress of the holiday. Dreams of everything going wrong that could today had plagued me all night. Of her parents wanting to know what happened during the year I wasn't in Jody's life. Them telling me that I wasn't good enough for her. Of them deciding she couldn't be with me and her leaving with them. I shut off the alarm and laid on my back, put my pillow over my face. I didn't want to disturb Jody while I dealt with my anger and worry.
There was movement next to me; figured my alarm woke her. We had so much to do before her family arrived. She had been assuring me all week her family was good with us, with me, my kids. With everything. I didn't understand how they could be. I was certain today would be awkward and weird and hard. I was already a ball of stress and hadn't even gotten out of bed.
The pillow was lifted off my face. Jody was smiling at me. I groaned and closed my eyes, turned my head away from her. I did not want to ruin the day with my mood. I felt her lips on my neck. "Jo.."
She stopped me from finishing. I opened my eyes part way and looked at her. Tried to talk again. "Shhhh." She put her finger to my lips. "You are so tense El." She slipped further under the covers, tugged at my sweats, had them off in a flash.
The warmth of her mouth met the warmth of my flesh and my body reacted instantly. Low moans escaped my mouth, as her mouth licked and flicked and sucked. I slowly began grinding my hips, increasing our contact. One of her hands was on my stomach, the other under my ass.
She nipped at my thighs then went back to my folds and clit. Fire was building. She stopped, came up to me, kissed me. Her knee was between my legs grinding into me. "Oh, fuck Jody." She kissed me again. Left traces of my juices on my face then went back under and down.
She pushed my knees up, spreading me wider. Her arm was hooked around my bent knee working my clit as her tongue plunged in and out, licking and tasting me. My own hands were on my nipples, rolling and pinching them.
Jody took my clit in her mouth, sucked and flicked. Her hand was laced into one of mine now as I felt myself getting ready to tip over the edge. Just as I was ready to explode she stopped. Her mouth went back to the skin on the inside of the thighs. The tip of her tongue traced a vein I couldn't see. Down. Up. Over. Down. Up in. Again, our warmth met.
She unlaced her hand from mine and added pressure to my clit as her mouth teased me to the edge again. "Let me this time." I managed to say between my panting breaths. She nipped on my skin, took my bud in her mouth again and squeezed my ass, trailed her finger from my puckered hole to my slippery depths. "Fuck". This time she didn't let up and my body was rocked with bolts of pleasure. I prayed the kids weren't awake yet, because I couldn't stay quiet.
When I was done she came up on the pillow with me. "How ya feeling?" I grabbed the back of her neck, pulled her in tighter and showed her. She pulled away a few moments later. "I love you Ellie, but we need to get moving."
I tried to stop her from getting out of bed. It didn't work. "Eleanor. We have a lot to do and I'd like to have time to have coffee with you before things get crazy." She pulled the blanket off me. I groaned again as I pulled my sweats back on and got up.
I didn't let her open the door until I got a few more quality kisses. "You are my favorite human."
We headed downstairs and started coffee. Jody made cinnamon rolls and we each had one. I got the turkey ready for the oven just as Jessie and Tim made their way down. The next few hours were cooking and cleaning up, showering, getting the tables set and everyone ready before Jody's family all arrived.
Madi and Tim got there first. Jody put them right to work helping. It wasn't long and the house was filled with the chaos of 4 teenagers. I had gotten used to it, more or less. Jessie home added another layer to the noise, but I loved that. Tim and Madi were doing well living in the same house while dating. At least from what we could tell. It was eerily quiet the weeks Kevin and Madi were with their father. I was very much looking forward to Christmas break when they would all be here with me.
