Kathryn and I both look at each other without saying anything we look back. She begins to giggle. Then grandma says to us, “Look I know the two of you are in love, and our young, engaged for over a year. Neither of you have slept in two days, because you haven’t been together. So if being here is stopping that, I’ll just have to leave.”

Kathryn asked first, “You mean you know that we sleep together.”

Grandma says. “JJ, I saw your room, what’s more I saw your bathroom, and it’s certainly not the room of a bachelor, especially not one eighteen years old. Anyone could look at the two of you and tell you’re absolutely miserable without the other. Remember that, how you feel right now. If you ever think you’d be better off without the other.”

Kathryn and I look at each other before we say simultaneously. “Yes grandma, we know.” We do we know we are two halves of one whole, that’s why we feel so good in each other’s arms. That’s why if we are within a few feet of each other we will move near enough to take the other’s hand. Kathryn would prefer to set my lap then anywhere else. We love, no we need to touch each other. We’re addicted to it the feel of the others hand, our kisses, the feel of each other’s bodies as we hold each other. I know I haven’t been able to sleep without Kathryn by my side. Even though I know for sure the last three days we couldn’t have made love.

I call Helen and mom, we sat down with grandma. I begin my say. “Grandma I know I’m not actually your grandchild. It will be five days before I can be married to Kathryn. You do know how much I love her.”

Grandma cuts me off right there. Mom and Helen’s face has gone pale. “JJ I know one thing any man willing to put himself between a charging bear and the one he loves, sure should be able to sleep with her no matter what any stupid law says. Now you and Kathryn go to bed before you both fall over.”

It’s not even eight o’clock at night, Kathryn takes my hand, and we’re both exhausted. I know I pushed the door closed, I don’t think it latched. Kathryn and I peel off our clothing as we cross the bedroom, I turn down the covers and even though I would love to hold Kathryn and make love to her were both just too tired. She slides in and I slide in right next to her, we snuggle to each other kiss lovingly for a second then looking to each other’s sleepy eyes we both drift off for the first time in two days.

Light was coming through my windows it is late morning. That’s when I realized I wasn’t dreaming. I held Kathryn in my arms. I held onto her until I heard her breathing change. “Good morning love.”

Kathryn pulls tighter to me before she says, “I was so tired I thought I just passed out and dreamed I got to hold you.”

That’s when the realization hits me that it was grandma that sent us to bed together. That means she knows that we are more like husband-and-wife than just fiancés. I kiss Kathryn before telling her. “Grandma sent us to bed together. I’m pretty sure she knows about us.”

Kathryn giggles and says, “Grandma’s always been one to never have the wool pulled over her eyes.”

I don’t think either Kathryn or I would’ve moved from our bed we were enjoying the touch of each other’s body far too much to willingly relinquish the feeling. We would have continued holding each other if it wasn’t for the knock on the door. Reluctantly Kathryn answers. “Yes who is it?”

The door opens slowly, and Grandma pokes her head in. “I was wondering when you two would finally wake up, it’s nearly 10 o’clock.”

Kathryn says. “Give us twenty minutes, we’ll grab a shower and be right down.” When Grandma retreats and closes the door behind her, Kathryn and I reluctantly progress towards the bathroom. Kathryn uses the water closet first as I wait. When Kathryn exits she has a playful smile, she says. “Guess what I’m no longer having?”

It only takes me a moment to understand what she means. We made it a rule that we have no sex with strings attached. Actually Kathryn made that rule and I just abide by it. If you hadn’t guessed by now that rule has two meanings. One is fairly obvious the other makes me do without for a few days every month.

When I’m out of the water closet Kathryn already has the shower running stepping into join her my body already is reacting to the news. Playfully touching Kathryn I get her attention is my hands cupped in play with her wet breasts. Kathryn giggles. “I guess we could try to get away with it if we’re fast. She turns and jumps throwing her legs around me. She traps my hard cock between us for only a few seconds to allow her to get a hold on me. I have two hands full of her gorgeous ass as our lips meet. We kiss hot and passionately as Kathryn grinds her clit along my hard cock.

I raise her body up in one of her hands goes between us and she positions my hard cock ready for me to allow her to slide down its length. Kathryn moans. “I couldn’t sleep no matter what without you. Let’s never do that again.”

“I couldn’t sleep either without you my love. All I could do was look out my window towards you.”

Kathryn holds me close says, “I was going to sneak over here tonight no matter what.”

Grinning I say, “That’s funny I would’ve been halfway to your house when I ran into you.” That causes us both to laugh. Then we kiss and get serious about making love. Kathryn squeezes herself into me before she whispers. “We have to hurry my love.”

I raise her up and move my hips back then lower and push in, Kathryn groans in pleasure. Moaning she says. “I know it’s only been a few days but I missed that.”

It doesn’t take us long to find fast rhythm together as our bodies move with each other. Because it’s been a few days were both eager to please the other. Each time I had Kathryn fully impelled I grind against her clit, a few minutes Kathryn is beginning to spasm and her pussy milks my cock as an orgasm begins. Kathryn is biting her lip trying not to cry out. It only takes a few more minutes for us to be lost in our lovemaking. I pushed deeply into her as my own orgasm takes me. I place my mouth to hers and we moan in each other’s mouths. Kathryn breaks our kiss and arches her back the water now runs through her hair and over her face. She comes forward throwing her wet hair over me. I kiss her loving the sensation of her in my arms.

Kathryn groans, “We better hurry, that would’ve been just a good warm-up normally but that’s all we can do right now.”

Still holding her tight I say. “Now you just got me started you’re going to make me stop. I guess if we have to.” We quickly wash each other trying to avoid the temptation to again make love. We dress; Kathryn’s clothing is still in my room. I guess we didn’t think of that if Grandma had gone through our wardrobe drawers she would’ve found a mixture of Kathryn’s and my clothing.

We’re a little late coming downstairs, but Kathryn and I are both more relaxed. Mom, Helen and Grandma are there sitting by the table having a cup of coffee. Kathryn and I fix ourselves a bowl of cereal, I retrieve the milk from the refrigerator and add it to our bowls. Kathryn looks up and blows me a kiss that is become her way of thanking me. I smile and blow her one in return. I turned and put the milk away as I hear giggles from the three older women. Returning to the table and sitting beside Kathryn who shows signs of being a little embarrassed, I have to ask, “What did I miss?”

Mom stops giggling long enough to say, “Apparently Kathryn, and you look like totally different people this morning. They both have that I just got laid look too.”

I glance over at Kathryn although her cheeks a little brighter where she has a smile that just won’t stop. I realize I’m smiling too. I could feel my cheeks burn as well. Kathryn and I just crack up, leaned over hug and kiss each other. Our three older table mates laugh fully now.

Its Grandma that finally manages to say, “Listen I was young, not too old to remember how it was to be in love. You can’t even sleep without the other being there. So the night you two do like you normally would.”

Now it’s my mom’s turn to say something, “But make sure you close the door the rest of us don’t want to hear it.”

Still embarrassed but grateful that were not having to spend the rest of the time until the wedding apart Kathryn and I both say, “Yes Mom.”

Grandma laughs, “Speak for yourself Maggie I don’t have the Internet.”

Mom gets serious for a second before she says. “Even with the door closed those two are plenty loud enough.”

We decide to spend some time with grandma shopping at the local mall. It’s not extremely huge but considering where grandma lives it has a lot more shopping than she’s used to.

Kathryn and I walk around like always hand-in-hand, we run into a few friends from school. Small town doesn’t have a lot to do during the summer, and a lot of our friends spent time in the mall. The girls go window shopping, and the guys chased the girls. I’m just happy to have Kathryn in my life. I don’t have to go through the pain a lot of our friends have gone through with finding someone falling in love and breaking up. I’m happy Kathryn feels the same way.

A lot of our friends have forgotten that Kathryn is four years younger than I am. That’s not something we advertise either way. Some of our friends do know the difference in our ages and don’t care anymore. They see us the way we see ourselves made for each other. One of these friends is the son of a local judge named George Thurgood, just like the famous musician, but no relationship at all. His son Marshall is on the football team with me. Marshall asked me more than once if I wanted his father to make a judicial order for me to marry Kathryn. I’ll always laugh and say in a heartbeat.

From the research the coach has shown us we can’t do that until next week. So when we ran into Marshall he smiled and asked, “How is the happy couple?”

I smiled and say, “We’re doing great. How are you?”

He says, “I wish I was as lucky as you are.”

Kathryn giggles and asked, “Have you ever asked out Misty?”

Marshall’s expression shows his confusion as he gazes into space for second then looks at Kathryn and asks, “You really think she would go out with me. I’ve had a crush on her for a very long time.” Marshall shocked at himself for admitting that fact quickly adds, “God don’t tell her that.”
