First Public Outing

When they arrived at the hotel Timothy told Caleb that he needed a minute alone with his wife. He was so overjoyed that things were starting to improve, all he could think about was Mia. As soon as they were through the bedroom door, and he had shut it behind them, he pulled Mia into his arms and leaned back against the door.

"Timothy, what are you..." Mia started, but she never finished the sentence.

Tim's lips were on hers before Mia realized his intention and he began unbuttoning her blouse while he kissed her. Tim pushed the blouse off her shoulders and arms with desperate need. It was still tucked into her skirt, but he didn't care as long as he had access to her lovely breasts.

Tim's tongue caressed his wife's then he moved his lips along Mia's throat until he reached a lace covered breast. He pulled a nipple into his mouth while reaching around to undo her bra. It came undone easily and he discarded it at once, switching his mouth to the other breast.

With both hands Tim reached under Mia's skirt and pulled her underwear down until she could step out of them. Standing up again Tim pulled Mia's mouth back to his and only broke the kiss long enough to move them back to the bed. Timothy laid his wife back on the bed and pushed her skirt up before pushing into her slowly as he pulled her legs around his waist.

Mia moaned at the sensation. She had been so ready for this and needed the release badly. The stress they had been under only amplifying their need for one another. Tim's mouth was demanding on hers and she readily opened hers for him thinking about how good he felt inside of her. Every thrust drove her pleasure higher, becoming nearly unbearable quickly.

Tim could feel her tightening around him, their moans echoing off each other. He felt his pleasure quickly becoming more than he could bear as Mia began to internally quiver around him. Then her body spasmed as her core clamped tight on him. In two fast thrusts he emptied himself into her and they both shuddered with pleasure with desperate moans.

It took them a few minutes to calm their ragged breathing and be able to move and think again. Their love making had been fast and desperate. Timothy was still learning what it was like to need someone in this way, and he felt it was overwhelming. This wasn't planned; it was a need that overtook them both and would not relent until they were satisfied.

Tim rolled over to his side and pulled Mia with him. "Baby, I love you so much." Tim said quietly.

Mia brushed his cheek with her hand. "I love you too, Timothy."

***********

Four days later Mia stood staring in the mirror at her black cocktail dress and matching stilettos. The was a fitted piece with full sleeves that the skirt ended at the knees. Mia turned sideways in the mirror checking that her stomach wasn't showing. A slight curve but only if one knew to look. She sighed; tonight was going to be hell. Mia walked to her vanity and rifled through her jewelry. She found a pair of gold earrings with diamonds and put them on, they were a little bold but maybe that was good. Mia needed to be bold tonight.

Tonight, would be Mia and Tim's first public appearance. It was also Shelly Barrett's pre-wedding dinner with her fiancé Chuck Nolan, Sharon Barrett, and Shelly's mother Veronica Barrett. Shelly will be moving here after the wedding in three days. Sharon had been granted an allowance for her to come here for tonight's dinner and the wedding, then she had to go back to Bern City.

The dinner tonight would consist of Shelly and Chuck, Sharon, Veronica, Tim and Mia, and luckily for Mia, Caleb and Jasmine had agreed to come. Caleb and Jasmine were back on and decidedly on at that. Considering that Jasmine had been at the hotel when Mia went to bed and when she woke up for the last two days in a row, the couple were really getting along. Mia wished she had time to talk to her friend about it, but it would have to wait.

Timothy came out of the bathroom in a medium gray suit and black tie. He looked incredibly handsome to Mia.

Timothy looked at Mia approvingly. "You look lovely, sweetheart." He told her.

"You look pretty handsome yourself, how much time do we have?" Mia flirted.

Tim chuckled. "Not nearly enough." Even though they had made love less than two hours ago the answer rang true for both of them.

The pair walked out to the main room to find Jasmine helping Caleb with his tie. Jasmine looked beautiful in a dark green strapless dress that had a flowing skirt that ended mid-calf and Caleb wore a black suit and black tie. They all looked ready to take on the country club, which was where they were going tonight. Mia and Tim said goodbye to their children and told them goodnight. The ladies grabbed their small evening bags, and they were out the door.

The four of them climbed into Tim's car. They did not bother to hide anymore so the vehicles were moved out of the car park and to the hotel. The other vehicles they had bought to sneak past Dominic had been given to their employees according to need. Angela had been given the mid-size SUV. The other cars had gone to one of their drivers and a bodyguard.

The drive to the country club had taken about twenty-five minutes and the four friends had laughed and joked easily. They were in good spirits when they arrived. Mia knew that wasn't to last and as the car pulled into the venue, she began to play with her wedding ring worriedly.

"Sweetheart, it will be fine." Tim told his wife noticing how uneasy she was becoming. "I will not allow anyone to mistreat you." He promised.

"We got your back, Mia." Caleb said easily. Mia offered the two men a small smile trying to ease the tension.

The car pulled to a stop and a moment later the door opened. Caleb climbed out helping Jasmine then Tim climbed out and reached a hand inside for Mia. Mia hesitated just a moment then took his hand. She refused to cower and hide anymore. Standing up outside the car she was thankful they were alone. Timothy tucked her arm into his and they walked into the restaurant.

In the lobby they were told that their party was already seated and were shown to their table. Chuck sat with a glass of brown liquor in his hand looking bored. Shelly sat next to him, and Sharon was beside her. Veronica sat beside Sharon. When they approached the table the three women's faces fell open in shock and Chuck's eyes narrowed to slits. Mia remembered that he didn't like her much. Well good because she despised him.

Tim pulled her seat out for her just as Caleb was doing for Jasmine. The two women were seated together with the men on either side. Once she was seated Timothy took his seat. Caleb following closely behind. Mia and Jasmine shared a look that said this should be fun and then the server was there to take their drink orders, Mia ordered a glass of white wine and at Timothy's look just shook her head.

Tim politely said good evening and asked how everyone was doing. Shelly and Sharon looked like they were sucking on lemons, Veronica was a blank slate, and Chuck had been very close to staring at Mia with hostile intent. Timothy pretended not to notice but Mia could see that his patience was wearing thin. Finally drinks arrived and food was ordered. Mia took a small sip of her wine and then set the glass down, feeling Tim's eyes on her. .

Mia had been keeping her left hand under the table. Without really thinking about it she used her left hand to brush her hair back from her face and then picked up her water glass to have a drink.

"Look at that rock on her hand, Aunt Sharon. I told you she was engaged to a Dr. Merches, a man from old money." Shelly hissed to Sharon.

"Can you believe she is two-timing her poor fiancé so openly, the shame." Sharon replied.

Jasmine looked at Mia with a can you believe this expression which caused Mia to smirk.

"Something funny. Mia? Pretending to be a lady while so openly being wanton, it's disgusting." Sharon exclaimed.

Tim sat back and heaved an annoyed breath. Mia simply raised an eyebrow in challenge at the two women as if to say is that the best you got?

Shelly accepted the challenge much to the approval of Chuck. "Don't you have any standards any more Timothy. She is engaged to another man. Can't you see what kind of woman she is now. Mia is going to pop out another kid and no one will even know who it belongs to."

"That is enough." Tim said, exuding deep menace. "This is exactly why we are having dinner before the wedding. I want you to get used to the new order of things, so I don't have to embarrass you on your wedding day."

"Son, what are you talking about?" Sharon asked in a cranky tone.
