Some Unanticipated Good Fortune

The next week, Todd had a huge stroke of luck at work. The first year he was there, he’d been assigned to MotorBoys, a national retail car parts and service chain, as a client prospect. Most of RevTec’s clients were small to medium-sized businesses that used a handful of licenses and didn’t afford much opportunity to grow, so enterprise level accounts were like the Holy Grail of sales and just as difficult to secure. Landing an account like MotorBoys would clear Todd’s sales quota for the entire year, and the commission check alone would be well into 5-figures. With annual renewals he’d be looking at potentially doubling or even tripling his current income.

Todd knew that would go a long way towards helping him and Kait plan a long-term future together. So, it was with great surprise and elation that Wednesday when he took a call from Calvin Rhodes, MotorBoys Chief Financial Officer. Todd had been making regular check-in calls and soft pitches to Rhodes since he’d been assigned the account, but never gained any serious traction towards a sale. Their company used a proprietary inventory and sales management system, so they didn’t see the need for a new tool.

All of that was changing, however. Their internal system was decades old and couldn’t be effectively integrated into any modern e-commerce platforms. So, Rhodes had made the pitch to the CEO and Board to make the switch over to RevGen. Todd couldn’t believe it. They weren’t even going to put out a request for competitor bids, they just wanted Todd to draw up the paperwork and get the process started. He’d invested a lot of hours making calls and sending emails, many of which were never responded to, but the time he’d spent developing the relationship was going to pay off.

The first thing Todd did when he hung up with the CFO was text Kait.

It was still mid-morning and Kait was in class, so he knew he wouldn’t get an immediate reply.

Next, he started the process of getting the sale formally in motion. He pulled up the proposal specs he’d discussed with Rhodes and typed it up in their formal quotation system. The quote would need to go to pricing review for formal approval. After that the contract would be drafted up and sent out to the client and the internal engineering teams.

This was going to be a long process. Deals of this size had a lot of complexity and would have a lot of lawyers involved in the review. The deployment would likely take months, and Todd knew it would be a while before the deal was closed, but right now he wasn’t worried about any of that. He felt like he was on cloud nine.

Kait replied during her lunch period just after noon.

Todd hopped on an app and reserved a table at the Spoon and Stable, an upscale restaurant that was a few miles from their apartment downtown. They had eaten there a couple of times before, but only on special occasions and tonight definitely qualified.

The rest of Todd’s day at the office felt excruciatingly long. He made a few more calls and got a few congratulations on the big sale, even Mr. Thornton was happy for a change. Still, he couldn’t wait to get home and see Kait, so by 3:45 he was already on his way out the door. She didn’t have practice on Wednesday, so she’d still beat him home today.

When he made it to the apartment, Kait was in the bedroom, having just changed out of her school clothes. Todd practically ran though the living room to get to her, picking her up in his arms and giving her a passionate kiss as he lifted her off the ground.

They stayed that way for several seconds until Todd felt satisfied and gently let her slide down until her feet were back on the floor.

“Wow, someone sure is excited!” Kait said with flush cheeks and an adorable grin on her face.

“Today has been the best day ever!” Todd said with a huge smile of his own. He proceeded to tell Kait all the details of his day, and his expectations if what the sale would mean for their financial situation.

Neither Todd nor Kait grew up with much money. Todd’s dad was an accountant, but they lived in a rural part of Ohio, so most of his clients were also lower income. His mom was an elementary school administrator. Collectively they provided a solid lower-middle class upbringing, but Todd had to rely heavily on student loans to get through college. He was still a long way out from having to pay them back, and the recent deferrals had helped, but they hung over his head as something he’d need to deal with eventually.

Kait’s family situation was more complicated. She was the third child in a family of four kids, having a younger sister, and an older brother and sister who were twins. They lived together with their mom and dad in Michigan until Kait was 12 years old and her parents divorced. From that point on they had lived with their mom. Kait’s dad stayed in Michigan, and she moved with her mom and siblings to Fargo, North Dakota. Her mom was a nurse, but between her income and the little alimony and child support they were able to collect, they were always just scraping by.

Kait would have needed to forgo college or take out student loans herself, but she also happened to be an incredibly gifted soccer player. She received scholarship offers from dozens of schools, and ultimately decided to go to Michigan State. She majored in political science and kinesiology, and since she knew she wanted to stay involved with soccer, chose to go into teaching and coaching when she graduated.

At present, neither was making much in their respective roles, and Kait’s chosen career obviously didn’t have a lucrative outlook, so the prospect of Todd getting a significant increase provided a glimpse into a future that was exhilarating for both.

The two continued to kiss and revel in the news for a while longer, then got dressed and grabbed an Uber to the restaurant so they could drink freely and not have to worry about driving home. Over the course of the evening, they drank and laughed and talked about all the things they could potentially do.

Kait loved seeing Todd like this. He was brimming with confidence and enthusiasm, and she knew that he had plans for them to be together forever. No one had ever made her feel as loved and appreciated as Todd.

After a few too many drinks each and a bill that made Todd reflexively uneasy, even though he knew more money would be coming soon it would take him a while to feel comfortable with it, the two made the return trip to the apartment. The Uber ride was less than 10 minutes, but it felt like an eternity as they sat next to each other in the back seat of the driver’s sedan. Todd put his hand on Kait’s knee and started to rub softly in and down her inner thighs, circling slowly higher up the stockings she wore beneath her skirt. She reciprocated and began to massage Todd’s legs in a similar fashion.

They looked in each other’s eyes and each felt that they knew what the other was thinking and feeling without words. If they had kissed just then it would have been an amazing show for the driver in his rear-view mirror, but they just shared the moment in silence and as much restraint as they could manage.

As soon as they walked in the apartment door, they were all over each other. They kissed passionately and began tearing off their clothes as they staggered blindly in the general direction of the couch. Somehow, they made it there without falling on top of each other on the floor, which probably would have suited them just as well.

They tumbled onto the couch with Kait landing on top and continued to kiss with ravenous desire as their hands moved up and down exploring their bodies and dislodging the remaining clothes they had on.

When all that remained were Todd’s jeans, Kait sat back on her heels and began to play with his cock through his underwear. She looked up at him with a mischievous look in her eyes as her hand pressed though the thin fabric of his briefs and pushed it up and down over the sensitive skin.

“I want your cock so bad.” She purred as she continued to tease him with her soft hands.

“Oh god.” Todd moaned in reply. Kait was usually very quiet during sex, and neither of them generally talked at all while doing it. Hearing her say those words pushed Todd into another level of arousal. “I love you so much.” He managed to sputter out, and we he was concerned that he might cum right away before they even had a chance to do more.

As if sensing Todd was on the edge, Kait slowed down her rubbing and pulled his jeans off giving him a chance to regroup.

“I love you too baby.” She said, and gently grabbed his throbbing manhood in her hand. “I want to make you feel good.” Her hand began to move slowly up and down his shaft, gripping just hard enough to create a light tension.

She continued to stroke him like that for a few minutes, and then began to quicken her pace and leaned in to add the sensation of her tender lips and breath on the head of cock and the sensitive skin just beneath the tip. Each time she adjusted her pace and rhythm Todd would groan and shudder under her touch.

“Do you want me to suck your cock?” she asked teasingly, obviously knowing the answer.

“Oh my god.” Todd replied, again caught a little off guard by her dirty talk, but also incredibly aroused. “Yes! God, you are driving me crazy.” He added, consumed with lust.

As soon as Todd said yes, Kait took the full length of his dick into her mouth and then slowly pulled her head back, allowing her wet lips to drag across the entire surface. When she reached the end gave the tip and gentle kiss and said, “Okay, but you aren’t allowed to cum until you fuck me. I need to feel your cock inside me tonight.”

“Mmhmm” was all Todd could manage to get out as he was intensely focused on trying not to cum right then. Her unexpected verbal cues were pushing him to the brink.

Kait continued to work on Todd with her mouth and hands, alternating teasing and sucking in a way that had him constantly approaching and then backing away from the edge. She was reading his body’s responses to her touch and playing it as if he was a musical instrument and she a maestro.

When she sensed he couldn’t take any more, she looked around the room for her purse, which fortunately had been dropped just by the side of the couch. She leaned down and pulled out a condom, opening it and rolling it gently onto Todd as he laid beneath her. She climbed up and slowly lowered her drenched pussy onto him, leaning down to kiss him once more as the length of him entered her body.

For a few moments they just laid there with their bodies connected, and softly kissed while feeling the gentle inhale and exhalation of their breath and the subtle shifts it created.

Gradually, Kait began to rock her body back and forth. Slowly at first, and then steadily increasing her tempo allowing a little more of Todd to leave and then reenter her hot, wet opening with each successive movement. When she had reached a steady pace, she sat up on her knees and began to bounce up and down on top of him. She pulled Todd’s hand up onto her breasts and leaned in so he could feel the soft flesh move with each undulation. He began to move his hips up and down from below, doubling the intensity of each stroke.

“Yes… baby… fuck me…” Kait exhorted with shortened breath. “I want to feel you cum… inside me…”

Hearing that pushed Todd over the edge. He pushed up with one final stroke, lifting her knees completely off the couch as he exploded into the condom that was pressed as deep inside her as he could reach. That movement in turn triggered Kait’s own orgasm, and she collapsed onto his chest, pressing both back down into the soft cushions below. They laid there panting against each other’s bodies, now covered in sweat. Eventually they reluctantly parted, and made their way to the bedroom, where they fell asleep holding each other in a warm embrace.
