267 – Our House Is Gone Again

Madeline:

His breath brushed my cheek, and he was so close that I began to feel the rise and fall of his chest against my shoulder.

He adjusted my grip, his fingers sliding along mine until our hands were aligned.

His chin nearly grazed my skin when he leaned forward from over my shoulder to look at the water. I felt how close he stood behind me, and I gulped.

Behind us, the kids were dancing around, talking and giggling, pointing at the fish. Their attention stayed on the water, not on us, which was a relief.

“ So, what have I taught you?” he whispered into my ear.

“When the shadow stops,” he instructed, and then his lips brushed lightly against my ear. “You pull p>

My body shuddered when I felt his cock in his shorts against my ass. His thumb pressed lightly over my knuckles.

A fish passed near the line, and Baxter tightened his grip over mine. He suddenly pulled, and the fish came flying out, splashing water on our feet.

The kids cheered. They leaned in closer to look at the fish as they laughed.

However, I felt Baxter’s fingers at my hip and when he gave a playful pinch, I jumped and stepped away, watching him with wide eyes while he rubbed his bottom lip. 1

After that, Baxter helped each one of my children catch a fish. I wandered around, looking for something to put the fish in.

I found a dented bucket nearby, so I washed it clean before bringing it to Baxter, who had already caught the fish by then.

“So, are you happy now?” I asked Gina, Elara, and Bodhi, and the three nodded, walking together and holding hands in front of us.

Baxter carried a bucket full of fish while I held a few in my hand.

“You were saying something,” I continued, returning to the topic we had left before.

It was always hard to get Baxter to talk or open up, and when he finally did, the interruption from our children caused him to forget the topic again.

I did not like that. I needed us to talk about our issues because what we had was special.

I wanted him to explain himself for his actions, and I wanted him to ask me questions if he thought I had done something wrong. With that in mind, I brought up the topic again.

“ You tell me, do you ever wonder why I never returned? That night, after the first time,” he spoke softly.

My kids were busy talking about the experience they had together.

They were telling each other how much they took part in the adventure, so they were not listening to us.

“ I did. I had been upset about it for a very long time,” I murmured.

“I was also upset about the fact that you told me you had someone to abort the baby, but then you cleared it up, and you showed me the proof that it was your way of throwing off the others because you were competitive, ” I explained, so he understood that it was no longer an issue.

And while the others had given me reasons for why they were not able to hold my hand at that point in the past, they still contradicted themselves and proved to me that they were cowards after the way they stepped back from

But Baxter told me he wanted to be with me, and he held on to that deal. He stood with me. He took a step so big that he left his own crown for me.

So I needed to know from him why he left initially.

“ I came back to see you,” that was all he said, and I frowned at him.

However, once again, my kids interrupted us, but this time it was a much bigger issue.

“Mommy, look, there is smoke coming from that part of the woods,” Gina exclaimed, extending her hand and pointing in the direction where we were headed.

We stopped briefly. Bodhi and Gina started to jump up and down, thinking it was something magical.

Baxter and I shared a glance, and then we dropped the fishes, carried our kids, and wandered toward the direction.

From a distance, we saw a fire had started in the home that Baxter had been building with such hard work. It had not begun in one spot.

It had engulfed the entire base he had set out with his tireless efforts.

“Fuck! Baxter, how did that happen? Our home is gone,” I cried almost instantly, rushing toward the fire.

Baxter grabbed me from behind and pulled me away.

“It’s okay, it’s fine,” he told me. His body language showed he was tense, but he tried not to appear shaken.

“But how could that happen?” I complained, throwing a fit. We were sadly back to zero again.
