the sobering light of day

The next morning an exhausted Aaron rolled out of bed and stared at the man still in his bed whom he had to fend off for all hours of the night until he finally fell back asleep.

'Why were men such pigs?' Aaron shook himself awake, he was a man! He was a man and he wasn't a pig...99% of the time. 'I guess I was one last night.' the thought turned his stomach and he had to immediately hurry to the bathroom. Luckily he managed to get his stomach under control and settled for a cold shower.

Aaron had just finished the shower when he saw Ted entering the bathroom. He quickly wrapped a towel around his chest and silently tried to walk by. Ted quickly reached back and smacked Aaron on her butt causing him to jump. Ted pulled Aaron in close and aggressively kissed his wet lips."Good mornin' beautiful."

"Morning."

"Ah, I see you're not a morning person." While it was true Aaron was not a morning person he felt he still wouldn't be so cheerful to have Ted shove his tongue down his throat even if Aaron was the happiest of morning people.

"I'm dead before my coffee."

"Coffee sounds great, why don't you make some, and I'll get cleaned up." It was obvious by the look in Ted's eyes he was wanting to have another throwdown, but fat chance of that happening. Aaron sighed and left to go change, glad to be away from him at least for now.

Once Aaron was dressed he went into the kitchen and found Sarah making herself food. "So..." 'Oh god she knows!' "Am I finally getting a little sister?"

Aaron sighed, "It's too early for this."

"It's noon."

Aaron looked at the clock and sure enough, it was 12:16. Aaron didn't want to think of how long that meant he was underneath Ted. In any capacity. "You said to be nice to him." Aaron poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Mom, being nice to guys doesn't mean jumping in the sack with them."

"I know," Aaron sighed, "I don't know what got into me last night."

"Sounded like Ted to me." She laughed.

"Shut up!" Aaron threw a sugar packet at Sarah. Only for it to veer wildly and land nowhere near her.

"Mom, just be honest do you think...maybe, you kinda like him?"

"No!" Aaron growled.

"Maybe you like what he does to you then?"

"I told you no. He's disgusting and just a horndog."

"Yeah but, it's been a while since you were...with anyone. That does things to a person, makes them do stupid things...with gross people."

Aaron gritted his teeth angrily, angry for the mere suggestion that he was attracted to such a pig, the suggestion he was attracted purely in a sexual sense even, the suggestion that this...mistake, had anything to do with him not forcing himself on his sick wife like a pig like Ted would have. "I'm not gay."

"I'm not saying that either, just...think about it before you get in trouble."

"I won't be getting into any trouble, I'm breaking things off with Ted...ugh." It suddenly occurred to him he was about to break up with a man. "I've never broken up with someone." Aaron finally drank some of his coffee hoping to get his brain working again.

"Mom, you can't!"

"Why not? Women dump guys all the time. Trust me, it happened to me enough."

"Yeah, but they don't dump guys who may have to testify against them. "

"Just great. Fine, whatever. At least I don't have to...do that again. " Aaron looked at his daughter over his cup, "What?" he groaned.

"I just think...if you start acting like a cold fish to him then he might get suspicious and wonder why. And that's a can of worms best left closed."

"Are you telling me I have to keep sleeping with him?!"

"Kinda. Not all the time, just...ya know make yourself available to him once in a while. Everyone knows the sex cools down a few weeks into any relationship. A month tops."

"A mon-how would you-we're not in a re-" Aaron tripped over his words not knowing which horrible idea to tackle first!

Aaron wasn't able to tackle any because, at that moment, Ted entered the kitchen with a big stupid grin on his face. "Well hello, there pretty ladies." Ted put on his best cowboy accent tipping a nonexistent stetson.

"Ted," Sarah **** a smile on her face, "I didn't know you were still here."

"Like I would leave this little filly?" Ted kissed Aaron fully on the lips. Her daughter's words in mind he had **** but to kiss back with equal passion.

When they had finished a few seconds later Sarah was hiding a smile behind her cup of juice. "Sarah, don't you have homework?"

"I'm out of school, mom. Remember?"

"Then friends?" Aaron really didn't want to be...available to Ted, but he especially didn't want to be available to Ted in front of his daughter.

"I suppose I have a couple messages I could return. If you want some privacy." Sarah's voice was filled with sexual innuendo that even Aaron could pick up on.

"Wait I didn't mean-"

Sarah was already walking away, as she called back, "Bye, mom! Have fun you two."

"D-da" Aaron's voice trailed off as Ted nibbled on Aaron's ear. 'God! Why him of all people?'

"Good idea, I could tell you wanted it as bad as I did."

"You...you can't be serious," Aaron spoke between gasps as Ted's hand slipped under his shirt, "You're still...ready to go?"

"Oh yeah, all the time. I come from a long line of virulent lovers."

Aaron bit his own lip as Ted bit his neck. "Virile. Virile lovers."

"Yeah, that too baby." Ted **** his tongue in Aaron's mouth once again. Aaron conjured all his willpower he could and **** himself to kiss back. 'Kill me now!'

Suddenly Aaron's cellphone rang. 'Good enough.' Aaron broke the kiss and hastily pulled his phone out of his pants pocket. "Hello?" Aaron mouthed "Sorry" to Ted even though he definitely wasn't.

"Is this Erin?" It was Brad.

"YeES!" Aaron shouted when Ted suddenly kissed her chest. Ted was undeterred by a simple phone call. In fact, he found it rather hot to get in her panties while she was on the phone. "I mean, this is me, uh she...yes. Is EVerything oKAY?" Aaron continued to try to push Ted away but only succeeded in pushing him lower.

'What the hell,' Ted thought 'gotta throw em a bone once in a while.'

When Ted reached for the hem of Aaron's pants and started to pull them down he did the only thing he could think of. Aaron jumped back and sat on the counter. "Erin, I was just calling because I got your bloodwork back."

Aaron's heart stopped. His mind immediately recalled a similar phone call about his wife's bloodwork. 'Oh god! I'm gonna die and leave Sarah alone!' "W-what seems to be the problem?" Ted, to his credit, stopped his advancements.

'Shit, she's probably got the crabs!'

"Oh, we just found a few irregularities, but it's an easy fix we can put you on some es-"

"Sounds great...I mean, I can be right over in ten minutes. And we can get right to work on that."

"That isn't really necessary, I can simply put a call in to your pharmacist-"

"Oh, I can't do that. I'll be right over." Aaron hung up the phone and put on a fake pout, "That was work, there's something funky with the paperwork and he needs me to come in and double, maybe even triple, check some things."

"Oh." Ted let out a sigh of relief, last thing he needed was to catch an STD. "So, I guess playtime is over."

"Afraid so." He lied. Aaron softly kissed Ted, trying not to gag as he did so. "Thank you for being so understanding." He smiled and hopped down from the counter.

"Hey, I'm a twentieth-century guy, I know single moms gotta work." He lied.

"Right. Well, I have to get going...."

"Right. Guess that's my cue." Ted laughed as Aaron walked him out.

Upon opening the door, Aaron realized that his car was gone! "Sarah!" Aaron called back into the house and got no response. "She took my car..."

Ted sighed, "I can drop you off at work if you need a lift."

"Uh sure, gimme a minute to get changed."

A few minutes later Ted was sitting in his car when Erin finally walked back out. She was now wearing a short black skirt showing every bit of her shapely legs. Her top was white and sheer enough he could see through to her black bra. Her black heels clicked across the concrete driveway. As she slipped into the passenger seat he decided it was worth it to keep seeing her for that shapely ass.
