“You’re getting old,” I mumbled to myself, after staring at my own reflection in a window. No decoration or Christmas song seemed to be able to lift my gloomy mood, which seemed to grow stronger the closer I got to my apartment. My empty apartment. The place that had always been my castle of solitude and a much-needed place to hide from the world. Now it was just... Empty.Maybe I should continue going to therapy after all. Only this time as treatment for depression.The stairs had never felt steeper than when I walked up the three floors to my apartment, but I didn’t want to take the elevator because it went too fast for my liking. At least on the days it was working. I wanted to prolong the time it took to get to my door. Or, if I was completely honest, I didn’t really want to go home at all. And I was just about to turn and head out again, when I heard sounds I thought I recognized.Nah, that couldn’t be.“...you idiot! That was all the sugar that was left. You better get your ass

“Am I making you nervous, Bambi?”I didn’t do it on purpose, but my voice was low and husky as if I was afraid someone would hear, even though I knew we were alone.“No,” she stuttered, but I could see it in her eyes and on the vein in her throat. Her heart was racing.“Liar,” I whispered into her ear, when I came close enough.“Why did you come here?”“To... Celebrate Christmas?” she said and swallowed again. I could see the tip of her tongue sweep across her lower lip, and I cursed at all the impure thoughts that were flooding my mind. This was bad. All the hours of therapy suddenly seemed completely worthless now that I was back to balancing on the sword of temptation.“I ask again...”I was now standing right behind her and was literally breathing down her neck, and the proximity made her shudder. She barely dared to move, and her hand was hanging useless over the bowl.“Why did you come, Bambi?”God, how I wanted to lean in and kiss her neck!“Because... I...”Her voice drifted o
My daughter in-law CHAPTER THIRTY
We cleaned up, first ourselves and then the mess we’d made, and the more time that went by, the more silent Catherine became. Eventually, I just had to ask.“Do you regret it?”For a long time she didn’t say anything. She just finished the gingerbread men with the expertise of a professional baker, while wearing an undefined expression that was punctuated by a deep frown on her forehead. My heart sank when she nodded.“I’m sorry,” I said, but I wasn’t quite sure if I was. Except for Allison, all I’d ever wanted from women was a quick fuck and then move on to the next. But for some reason I couldn’t picture Catherine in the role of friends with benefits, like Allison. That would be directly mean to her. I mean, when this obviously made her feel horrible, I couldn’t accept being the reason.“I’m sorry,” I said again, and meant it this time. Even though I wanted so much more, I didn’t want to hurt her more than I already had. I hated the idea of this falling into the category of one-ni
My daughter in-law CHAPTER THIRTY ONE
“Do you think I should leave him, Aaron?” she asked quietly.“No.”“But if I really love him, why would I do such a thing?”I shrugged.“If you truly love each other, you forgive shit like that,” I said plainly, and got her to look at me.“Did you and Bree...?”I snorted out a laugh.“That marriage was a league of its own. But if you’re wondering if I cheated on her, then no, I didn’t. My...my issues... They started later.”“But she cheated on you with that...?”“Amoeba?” I chuckled.“Yeah, and it was kind of hard to forgive something that had been going on behind my back for years. She’d already made up her mind, anyway. Even her parents did. I was just the last one to know.”“Damn,” she whispered. Then she grabbed two gingerbread men and gave one to me.“Bite the head off first, please.”“Excuse me?” I blurted out and tried to keep myself from laughing. I could spot an embarrassed smile lurking on the corners of Martina’s lips while she chewed.“So they die immediately. I don’t want
My daughter in-law CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
It was harder to find something for Martina. Buying the movie ‘Anny’ would be too corny, and stuff for the kitchen was clearly not an option. Maybe I should buy something that Jakewould appreciate, too? Women loved clothes. Everybody knew that. And a nice outfit would be appreciated just as much by people around her. Like me. Still though, buying anything without proper measurements..."Hello, I need some sexy lingerie for my daughter-in-law, whom has the breast size that fits perfectly in my hands.”Yeah... No.Then the visuals of Catherine in the most tempting kind of underwear and postures started playing in my mind like an old 60′s movie without sound.“Aaron? Is that you?”Gray’s voice saved me from getting a full hard-on in public, and I secretly thanked him. Then I turned and I saw him looking like a fucking pack mule, and Yvette standing next to him with a blinking Christmas purse.“What the hell? Did you get lost on your way home from the pub?” he exclaimed, and I chuckled a

“He’s serious? What even is that?”“A European reality show. And yes, he does,” she said and made a charming facepalm.“I heard that!” he muttered from the living room, followed by the sound of the TV being turned on. Catherine grabbed a mug of lemon water and a plate with macarons, while I grabbed two glasses and another plate with the gingerbread men she made, but I was quick to grab one and stick it into my mouth. Then I stopped myself and made sure to bite off the head first, and gave her a knowing smirk which she returned.“So, what are your plans for the week?” I asked after we’d sat down. I sat in the armchair, while I let them take the couch, and I tried not to notice how natural Rocco’s arm wrapped around Martina’s shoulder when she cuddled up to him.You don’t like cuddling, Aaron.“Because you are staying until past new year’s, right?”“Yeah, if you don’t mind,” Jakesaid with a sheepish grin.“Not at all.”Then Jakedidn’t say anything more because he fell into the beginnin
My daughter in-law CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR
“Christ...” I hissed through my teeth and clenched my eyes shut in pure arousal. Never in my life had I been more turned on, and never did I have a longer foreplay. If this continued, I would blow up in my pants for sure, and Catherine knew.Slowly, she moved so she could stretch out both of her legs, while she made sure not waking up Rocco. He was breathing heavily now, close to snoring, actually. But he was not breathing heavier than me.“Oh, fuck. I think I’m gonna cum,” I whispered, and she smiled. Her cheeks were heated and her eyes were dazed, but her only focus was to make me feel good. And holy shit, I felt good!“Fuck, Anny.”“Don’t hold back,” she whispered, and her voice was soft and slightly demanding at the same time. And it was exactly what I needed to reach there. The build of pressure rose from my spine and ignited every fucking vertebrae, until I was knocked out of balance and fell into the deep abyss. The pleasure was so intense that my whole body shook in the rhyth
My daughter in-law CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
Every year up until she died, she and her friends arranged a Christmas party for the homeless in New York. They hired an old gym that was closed down years ago and decorated it the best they could. Then they cooked food enough for an entire village and served thousands of Christmas cookies for dessert. The homeless were allowed to use the showers in the facility, and got new clothes from a charity organization they collaborated with. But the icing of the cake was something they worked on all year round.“They made mittens for everyone?” I asked in astonishment.“Yeah. They contacted all people they knew, who knew how to knit, even people in nursing homes, churches and similar institutions. They truly did an amazing job. But then my granny died, and the old gym was demolished to give room for new apartments, so... It stranded, I guess.”“That’s sad,” I said with a frown. I couldn’t quite fathom how people could be so selfless and give so much to others without getting anything in retur
