Molly stood by the kitchen sink, washing her hands. Looking up, she could see him floating in the pool, reluctant, as always, to leave the cool water on such a hot day. She smiled as she dried her hands.

She tapped on the window and he looked up, waving at her. She motioned for him to come in, and he nodded. He dunked himself one last time, then pulled himself out of the pool, grabbed a nearby towel, and dried himself off as he walked toward the house. He slipped on his shoes before walking inside. He knew she'd be mad if he tracked any dirt in.

He draped the towel around his neck as he walked into the kitchen. She turned toward him, smiling, and he took her in his arms, pulling her close to him. The kiss was long, slow, and deep; she felt her knees go weak, as she always did when they kissed for the first time after being apart. Finally, she pulled herself away and looked at her watch.

"We don't have much time."

He nodded and let go of her, pushing her slightly away from him and turning her, then swatting her bottom. "Go upstairs and get ready, then."

She ran through the living room and up the stairs, giddy at the thought of even a brief amount of time with him. She adored Jack, but they didn't get to spend much time together. Afternoons like this were a treat, so she'd learned to take advantage of them. She unpacked the items in the tote she kept expressly for these afternoons, pulling out the scarves Jack liked to use to bind her wrists, over-the-door restraints, her favorite rabbit vibrator, and a small flogger. She lined most of the items up on the floor, put the restraints in place over the door, and stripped to her underwear. She wore his favorite matching set, lacy pink and black items that were a tad bit itchy, but she had to admit they were flattering.

Molly could hear Jack walking up the stairs and quickly knelt down, placing her hands on her legs, palms up. Jack walked in, paused to admire the scene, and smiled briefly before walking over to her and cupping her chin, forcing her to look up at him.

"Have you been a good girl this week?"

She gazed into his deep brown eyes, melting for just a moment before responding, 'Yes, Sir."

He let go of her chin, walked around behind her, and said, "Really? And why should I believe that?"

"I would never lie to you, Sir."

He nodded, though she couldn't see that. He picked up the flogger. "Did you play with yourself, as I told you to?"

She blushed. Quietly, she said, "Yes, Sir."

"I can't hear you."

Somewhat louder, "Yes, Sir."

"Did you have an orgasm?"

She blushed even more. "No, Sir."

"Then you were a good girl." He'd told her early in the week to play with herself daily, for fifteen minutes, and not to let herself come. He traced the ends of the flogger on her back, then told her to lay down, on her stomach. She complied and he stretched her arms over head, linking them together with the wrist cuffs she'd left for him. he traced a finger down her body, then attached the ankle cuffs. He tickled her left foot quickly, making her giggle. She composed herself quickly, and lay quietly, waiting for his next move. She knew she wouldn't have to wait long.

He tugged on her body so that her knees bent and her ass was forced up in the air. He slid his body under hers and lowered her so she lay on his lap. For a moment, he caressed her shapely ass, then began to spank her, increasing the sharpness of each slap the longer he spanked. She tried hard not to squirm, feeling the wetness between her legs grow. Finally, when she was red enough to suit him, Jack stopped, gave her a moment to catch her breath, unhooked her ankle cuffs, and slid her panties off.

"Stand up," he ordered. Molly inched her way to a kneeling position, waited for him to stand and help her stand up. She stood, head down. He grabbed her hair, pulled her head back, and kissed her deeply. He led her over to the over-the-door restraints and had her stand facing the door, unhooked her arms, and placed her hands in the hanging restraints. He picked up the rabbit and, using his other hand, traced a finger over her pussy, nudged her legs open, slipped the vibrator in her, and used its remote to turn it on to its lowest setting. Molly smiled as the buzzing began.

He stood near her, watching her eyes close and her body relax. He nudged the vibrator up to the next setting and picked up the flogger. He began to lash her back and legs, slowly moving around her body. After about a dozen lashes, he stopped and turned the vibrator up again. She moaned. He picked up the panties she'd been wearing, pulled her head back, and said, "Open wide." He stuffed the panties in her mouth, and stood back, enjoying her muffled moans.

When he thought she was nearing climax, he turned off the vibrator. He let her stand there for a few more minutes, then removed the vibrator and unhooked her arms. He knew he wouldn't be able to wait much longer, so he laid her down and began to kiss her, sucking lightly on her nipples, gently kissing her as he made his way down her body.

Suddenly, there was a noise downstairs and voices. They froze, staring at each other.

"Did you know anybody was coming over?" he hissed. She shook her head. He rolled off her quickly and she scrambled up, grabbed her cell phone, and paled. "My cell phone is dead. I must have missed the call."

She scrambled to get into her clothing. Jack hastily pulled his shorts and shoes on, grabbing their toys and throwing them in her tote as quietly as possible. Molly smoothed out her hair and, just as they heard voices coming up the stairs, took the tote bag from him. She moved away from him, standing near the open closet door, which she had just been bound to, as the voices entered the room.

"As you can see, there's ample closet space here. Oh. Hello." She turned toward the people walking in. "I'm sorry. We'll get out of your way."

A woman dressed in a jacket, white blouse, and black pants entered the room, a young couple holding a baby following her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know anybody else was showing the house now. We'll get out of your way," the woman said.

Molly laughed, "Oh, it's fine. We're done up here anyhow." She quickly scanned the room to make sure it was as empty as when they'd entered. She motioned for Jack to lead the way, and they walked down the stairs. They managed to keep their composure till they were outside, when they gave in tot heir laughter. She kissed him lightly on the lips and said, "That was close."

He nodded and pulled her close, for one last hug. She rested her head on his chest briefly, then stepped away. "We need to find someplace new, I think. That couple has been in here before. I recognize the car."

He sighed. "Maybe we should just start meeting at your house. You do live across the street, you know."

Molly laughed. "Somehow, using Mrs. Murphy's empty house is more fun. I'm so glad her son asked me to watch it while it's up for sale. But yes, I think we do need a change of venue."

She walked him to his car, parked in front of the house. She stood by the For Sale sign, using it for support as she watched him drive off. She waved as he pulled away, sighed, and pulled the key Mrs. Murphy's son had given her so she could keep the house free of dust out of her pocket. She smiled, put it back in her pocket, and walked across the street to her house.
