Bud drove slowly across the rutted road toward home. He tried not to awaken Marie with the jolting of the truck. She needed her sleep. She was still recovering from surgery. Midnight had been difficult for her. When she’d sobbed in his arms he felt powerless. All he could do was hold her.

But, she’d stopped crying. And they’d danced real close like they used to. That had felt good. The party had started to break up. They said goodbye to their hosts. He’d liked Maximus. He wasn’t a man who jabbered on too much. He said what he had to and what was important. Bud respected that in a man.

Marie made a little snuffling sound and curled up tighter against him. He grinned as he looked down at her; only taking his eyes off the dark road for a second. When he looked up again there was a kangaroo bounding across the road. Bud slammed on his brakes and brought the truck to a sudden stop. The kangaroo hurried away unhurt.

His wife clutched his arm tightly as she bolted up. "What happened, Bud? Is everything alright?"

"I’m sorry, Hon. Everything is fine. One of those fucking freaks of nature ran across the road right in front of me. I didn’t want to wake you till we were home."

"A kangaroo?"

Bud nodded tersely and caught the small smile tug at the corners of her mouth. He seemed to amuse her often with what he said. He’d never thought of himself as a fucking comedian until he met Marie. He liked when he made her smile; even if half of the time he didn’t know why.

"Go ahead and lay your head down again."

"No, that’s okay, Bud. I’m awake now. I shouldn’t be sleeping when you have to drive anyway. It’s late. I should keep you company. We’re nearly home aren’t we?" She peered out into the darkness as she tried to recognize a landmark.

"Yeah, in just a few minutes. I’m not tired." His voice dropped lower as she laid her head on his shoulder again. His one arm reached out to wrap around her and hold her closer.

"With how hard you worked on the house today, I’d think you’d be exhausted. No wonder we drop into bed early every night and sleep till morning when we start all over again. Everything is really starting to get into order. It looks wonderful. You’ve done such a good job, Honey."

Bud beamed at her praise. "You’ve worked just as hard."

"Not nearly as hard physically as you have."

Bud wouldn’t bring up why she had physical limitations. She’d still worked too hard on the house since they’d started moving in. He turned onto the gravel driveway leading up to their new home. She’d left two lights on to welcome them back. It never got this dark in LA.

After parking, Bud hurried around the truck to help her out. It was a big step down and she was wearing a dress tonight. The first time since they’d moved here to Australia. She looked beautiful and sexy. Marie slipped down into his arms and wrapped hers around his chest. She hugged him tightly.

"Thank you for taking me to the party tonight, Bud. I had a good time. Happy New Year, Sweetheart."

"Happy New Year, Hon." Bud kissed her gently. As the kiss deepened Bud wanted to pick her up and take her to bed. He was thinking of better ways to celebrate the New Year. But, she was tired and needed her rest. He separated and walked her inside with his arm around her.

Marie disappeared into their bedroom as Bud closed down the house for the night. When he arrived in their room she wasn’t there. She must be in the bathroom. Bud started to take off his clothes and hang them up. He stripped down to his t-shirt and shorts and padded over to the bathroom to see what she was up to.

Bud froze in the doorway when he saw her. She was brushing her teeth wearing only this black lacy bra and matching panties. She looked sexy as hell. Any thoughts of sleep were completely wiped from his mind as he moved in behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled her body to his as his lips dropped to nuzzle her neck.

"Christ, look at you. You’re so beautiful." His thick fingers traced over her nearly flat abdomen. Soon the effects of the pregnancy on her body would be gone; except the thin pink line from her healing incision. He loved the skin on her belly. It was so soft and smooth.

"My handsome husband. The flatterer. Wait a sec." She giggled and finished brushing her teeth. All the time Bud was touching and caressing her skin with his hands and lips.

Marie dried her mouth on the towel she had on the sink and then spun around in his arms to face him. Bud continued to touch her.

"You are a big distraction when a girl is trying to get ready for bed, Mr. White."

"Hon, it ain’t me that’s causing the distraction." He picked her up easily and sat her on the counter.

"Come closer, Bud." She pulled on his white t-shirt to move his body closer to hers. She spread her knees apart and wrapped her legs around his hips as he approached. She barely had the chance to whisper, ‘better,’ before his lips descended on hers.

Bud intensified the kiss quickly. He was fueled by his want and need of her. He tasted the freshness of her mouth as his tongue moved inside. He’d never be able to get enough of her. Irritated by the thin bra strap in the way of his roaming hands on the skin of her back, he unhooked it and pushed it out of his way. His hands now had free reign to her soft warm skin.

Marie moved her fingers into his short hair. She stroked and massaged his scalp and hair as they kissed. Bud enjoyed when she would stroke his hair as he lay with his head on her lap. His t-shirt hindered her access to his skin like he had to hers. She twisted breathless from his kiss as she tugged up on the cotton material.

"Bud, take your t-shirt off. I want to touch you too." Her lips crushed against his again as though it was painful for them to be separated.

After the kiss Marie nibbled along his lower lip. By that time Bud couldn’t remember his name much less think about taking off his t-shirt. His cock was so hard for her. What he wanted to do was rip off her panties and bury his erection inside her sweet hot tight cunt.

He lifted her up and swiftly pulled the lacy bit of cloth off her hips and down her legs. He dropped them at the same time Marie dropped her bra to the floor. His hand went down to free his cock, but Marie pressed her hand over his. She brushed his hand off his organ and replaced it with her own fingers. Touching and rubbing him through the damned cloth. Bud’s voice came out husky and full of want.

"Take them off, Marie. I need you now. Uh, Hon." Bud groaned as her small hand circled and kneaded his cock. At the same time her other hand began to push his briefs down off his ass. Bud was greedy and helped her push them down. They soon joined hers already on the floor.

His cock sprang forward; finally free. It pulsated against her thigh. She grasped his cock again. Marie arched her hips toward him as she guided him to her wet opening. She bathed him in the juices that had flooded from her body from his touch. She pushed the head of his shaft inside her.

"Now, Bud. There’s no need to wait. I’m ready for you, my love."

Bud grabbed her hips and slipped one hand around to cup her ass as he pulled her toward him. Her sweetness grasped him and sucked him into her flesh. He penetrated steadily until he filled her body; right where he needed to be.

"You feel so good, Hon." Bud groaned as she wrapped her legs around him again and pulled him in even deeper. Their lips and tongues met in their intimate dance.

Marie’s fingers stole beneath the t-shirt he still wore. She pushed it upward. When they broke from the long passionate kiss she whispered into his ear and then nibbled on it.

"Take it off, Bud. Let me press my breasts against your naked chest now."

The thought of her flesh crushed fully against him allowed his hands to loosen from the grip he had on her hips and ass to raise his hands over his head. Marie raised the t-shirt off him and dropped it to the floor.

Their bodies met. Her soft body was flush to his hard one. His body buried deeply in hers. They kissed and stroked each other for long minutes before the need to move overtook both of them.

Slowly they moved. Feeling all the intense exquisite sensations they found when they were together. The height of the counter was perfect for him to thrust deeply in and out of her body.

Finally they moved faster…harder as they both worked to bring the other to completion. Their hands, lips and bodies never idle. The night’s silence was broken by their moans of pleasure and words of love.

"Soon, Hon. With me, Baby." Bud buried his hands deeper under her. The change in angle had his cock stroking her perfectly on each thrust. She cried out to him.

"Bud!" Her body shuddered and fell over into an intense orgasm as her body squeezed his tightly.

Bud let loose with a guttural growl as his cock shot his come deep into her flesh. They clung to each other savoring their orgasms together. Their flesh was moist with sweat. Both were breathless. Hearts were pounding as they pressed chest to chest.

Bud gently stroked her back as they quieted together. He could feel her body as it still spasmed around his. This had been really good for her too. She murmured something against his chest. He couldn’t understand her.

"What, Hon?"

She kissed up his chest until she reached his stubbly chin. She kissed the cleft and whispered to him.

"Wow." She grinned up at him and the dimples showed in her cheeks. "That was…wow." She giggled.

Bud kissed the tip of her nose and hugged her closely. He didn’t want to let go of her or ever lose that giggle again. His cock softened and slipped from her body.

Marie kissed his neck. "I love you, Bud. Forever."

Bud didn’t tell her enough. "I love you, Marie. You know how much." That was something he knew about their relationship. She knew how he loved, wanted and needed her. And she didn’t need to hear him say it all the time. It was him who needed to hear it more lately.

"I know." She kissed his cheek. "Take me to bed, husband. Morning is almost here. We have lots of work to do." She grinned at him.

Bud gave her a crooked grin, picked her easily up in his arms and carried her to their bed. They lay together and talked quietly until they fell asleep in each other’s arms.

A brand New Year had begun.
