nice and hard. He laughed.
“Works every time, that’s what I love about you, babe, you’re so easy,” he teased. Harry turned around and wrapped his arms around his neck.
“You’re mighty brave considering I know all your buttons, honey,” he warned him. Jake laughed.
“Yeah, but all the children are awake, you can’t do anything,” he bragged. Harry laughed.
“Nap time,” he announced and Jake laughed again.
“You don’t play fair,” he complained and his hands came down to cup that perfect ass. Harry shrugged.
“You started this, now I’m going to finish it,” he informed him, and then he grinned. “Besides, it really is nap time and now you’ve made me nice and frisky so if you turn me on, now you’ve got to turn me off,” he told him. Jake kissed him.
“Why do you think I turned you on, babe, I was feeling frisky myself,” he teased him. Harry giggled.
“I figured that’s why you did it, you’re a rascal Jake Talbert, good thing for you I happen to love rascals,” he declared and Jake grinned. He rather loved being called a rascal. They put all the kids down for a nap and when they were all sound asleep in their beds they sneaked off to their beds for some frisky playtime. Fran giggled and went to lie down in her room. Six children were fun but she needed a nap sometimes too.
January came and the whole family rushed off to Hawaii for fun in the sun. For the first time in years they didn’t have to rush back in February for the birth of a baby and stayed for the whole rest of winter and it was so relaxing. Some of the other farms came over too and soon the whole town was there. Who wanted to stay in the snow when they could relax in the sun? Harry brought all of the chickens and farm animals and put them in the barn so he wouldn’t have to go back and forth to care for them and this worked out fine.
Little Miss No Boobies continued flashing them to Jake every chance she got but he was so busy with his six kids he didn’t pay her any attention which frustrated the hell out of her. Violet did everything she could to get him to notice her but if he wasn’t with Harry and the kids, he was with Steve and the men racing Jet-skis or surfing and she couldn’t do either because she was terrified of sharks. This amused Kathleen and the other wives who watched her little maneuvers and wanted to smash her face in. How dare she try to beak up the best marriage in town!
“Ryan is really a different kid isn’t he?” April remarked as they watched the giggling little boy chatting with Sean as the two sat in the shade. Sean was sitting up in his carrier playing with his toes while his brother played in the sand next to him. Harry grinned.
“It’s great, he used to be so quiet and I worried about that. I know that some kids are quiet but he was too quiet, now he’s so happy, I guess he just had to have a twin of his own,” he said and they all laughed. Kathleen hugged him.
“I worry about Megan feeling left out with the twins, that’s why I’ll be glad next year to have another and I hope it’s a boy, then I’ll have two of each,” she said and they all nodded. Then Harry told them what his mother had said and they all agreed that with four brothers to play with a fifth brother wouldn’t be lonely.
“Besides, Harry, you have to have the fifth one, you can’t leave an egg in there, it would be like murder,” Grace said and he nodded.
“That’s how Jake and I feel, to leave an egg inside would be like murdering the baby; how could we do that?” he asked softly and rubbed his now flat belly and grinned. “Two hundred sit-ups and day, ladies and Harry is back in shape,” he bragged and Kathleen threw an ice cube at him.
“Don’t remind me, this time next year we’ll all be trying to lose baby fat,” she moaned and they all giggled. Violet watched them and envied their closeness. She didn’t have close women friends like that and wondered why. She was nice, why didn’t anyone sit in one place like that for hours and talk with her? They all got up and left her after a few minutes saying they had to do this or go there, it wasn’t fair. They all sat with Harry. Whenever he showed up anywhere people would stop what they were doing and rush over to chat with him, and not just the women, the men too. What was it about him that made him so God-damned special? She fumed as Jake and the other men returned from their fishing trip and joined the men. He picked up Emma and Cassie and sat next to Harry and kissed him like he always did. The two of them were always kissing like they couldn’t get enough of each other. God, they have been married for four years now and together for almost ten years, did they really have to kiss each other all the damned time? It was revolting to see that all the time. She made a face and returned to the book she was pretending to read.
“I caught us three tuna for dinner tonight, babe, big ones,” Jake bragged and Harry kissed him again.
“My mighty hunter,” he declared and Jake grinned. DJ waved his hands.
“Man those fish were really biting today and we saw this really big shark, it must have been twenty feet long, wasn’t it guys?” he asked and they all nodded. Grace shuddered.
“I hate those things,” she declared.
“I don’t see how you guys can Jet-ski knowing that those things are in the water with you,” Abby told them. Jake grinned.
“The trick is to go faster than the sharks, Sis,” he informed her smugly and all the men laughed. Harry giggled.
“As long as you fools stay on the skis,” he said and all the women nodded.
“You wouldn’t catch me on one of those things,” Nyla declared. All the women agreed. Then it was time to take the kids in and get ready for dinner so they rounded them up and headed for home. Jake took three and Harry grabbed three and they laughed trying to figure out how they were going to manage number seven.
“Well, I’ll just lift that one,” Harry said and Jake laughed.
“I knew that talent would come in handy, babe,” he declared and they kissed before they went inside. Violet saw this last kiss and fumed. Christ they were at it again, did they ever stop!
Jake got the kids all washed up while Harry cleaned and grilled the tuna and set the table. Then they carried the bowls of food that were all ready, Harry had made salads earlier and they fixed the kids plates and filled glassed with iced tea and sat down to eat. All the kids loved fish and they gobbled up the food because playing in the sun made everyone one hungry. There was freshly made bread and butter to go with it and everyone smiled and munched away.
“This bread is really good, babe, you like the bread, Jackson?” Jake teased his son who grinned and ate more. Harry laughed and wiped the butter from his face. All of his men had hearty appetites. And his girls too, Emma was gobbling up her tomato and cucumber salad like a starving man while Cassie was eating all of her tuna. He and Jake exchanged a pleased smile; they did love to see the kids eating well. For dessert there was fresh fruit with ice cream which all the kids loved. Harry wiped hands and set the kids in front of cartoons which they allowed in the evenings after dinner while Jake started the cleanup. When the kids were settled and Sean was in bed Harry came to help, but it was almost done so he wiped the table and swept and mopped the dining room floor and then did the kitchen while Jake sat with the kids. They had it down to a fine art.
Then it was time for baths and Harry did the two younger boys first and they let the older kids stay up a little bit longer since they were older. Then the younger ones got stories and bedtime. Then Harry did the two girls and Jake did the two boys, they took turns and switched every other night. Then it was stories and kisses and bed time. Then Harry and Jake cleaned up and Harry did two loads of wash like he did every night, you had to keep up or you got over-whelmed and they snuggled on the couch and watched a movie while the clothes ran. They talked about their day and held hands. Then they folded the clothes and left them in the laundry room and checked on the kids before they went to their room for the night.
“Oh, what a lovely day it was today,” Jake sighed as he climbed into bed. Harry grinned as he hopped in his side. He snuggled in and reached for his favorite play toy. Jake grinned and rolled over to face him and reached for his.
“You’re not too tired after doing laundry?” he teased. Harry reached out to bite his lower lip.
“I’ve been thinking about this all day, lover boy,” he whispered in that husky voice that sent shivers up Jake’s spine. Jake trembled and he nuzzled Harry’s neck and felt him grow in his hand. He laughed and bent his neck to tease one of those perfectly round cinnamon color nipples just to hear his love moan. He wasn’t disappointed. He felt the power rush through him and then felt sharp fingernails lightly scratch his inner thigh. He shivered.
“Oh, now you’ve done it, babe,” he declared harshly and climbed on top of Harry and pulled his legs apart and up over his arms. “You’re mine now,” he told him and reached for the lube. Harry’s eyes were half-closed, dark and gleaming with lust and all slanty like Jake loved them.
“Promise?” he whispered and lifted his arms up to hold on to the rails of the bed in anticipation. Jake grinned and took him fast and hard the way he knew he liked it and the way he liked it, God, he loved this man. Harry reached up and pinched and licked Jake’s dark nipples driving him insane and they both yelled harshly trying not to wake the kids or Fran when they came. They laughed softly against each other’s body while they snuggled afterwards.
“Oh, God, Harry, I love you,” Jake whispered and he held him as close as he could. Harry wrapped his arms around Jake and pressed his cheek against his strong chest, feeling those curly black hairs against his cheek.
“I love you so much, Jake,” he whispered back. They fell asleep holding each other. The dogs hopped up on the bed and took their positions, Bo at Harry’s feet and Gertie at Jake’s and soon the whole house was fast asleep.
March came and they were back
