Judy woke up hours later, still feeling tired and anxious. She had a succession of dreams, all of the green-eyed woman, causing her to have a restless sleep. Glancing at the clock, she noted the time. Ren and Jay would be home soon and she didn’t want them to see her like this. She tried to act like everything was okay when they arrived, but it didn’t work. Jay had sensed something was wrong at school while Ren looked on with concern. Judy was glad when Sam diverted the attention away from her by greeting them in her usual way, with a crotch and butt sniff.

“Why does she have to do that?” Ren grumbled waving her away.

“People shake hands, dogs sniff,” Judy explained.

“Well, it gets annoying,” Ren grumbled covering himself.

Jay on the other hand didn’t seem to mind. He was on the floor giggling while Sam sniffed and licked his face. A knock at the door had Sam ready to greet her next victim. Jay’s friend Dillon stood there with a skateboard in his hand.

“Hi Mrs. Storm,” Dillon said. “Can Jay come out and play?”

Before Judy could answer, Jay was beside her admiring Dillon’s skateboard.

“Wow, is that ever nice. Have you tried it out yet?”

“Just on the way over here.”

Jay looked up at his mom. “Can I go skate boarding?”

Judy hesitated. She wasn’t a fan of skateboards, but Ren’s parents bought their grandson one for Christmas, so what was she supposed to do.

Jay stood impatiently waiting for an answer.

“Please mom, can I? I’ll be careful, I promise.”

Judy reluctantly agreed and told him to be home by 5:30 for supper. Jay grabbed his coat and skateboard and was out the door in a flash.

In a way she was glad Dillon came over. Not that she wanted them to skateboard, but at least it distracted Jay from tuning into her feelings. Now, she just had Ren to deal with. Bracing herself she turned towards her husband and noticed him intently watching her.

“Jude, I’m worried about you.” He looked troubled.

She sighed. “I know.”

“Do you think talking to someone will help?”

“No, but I think a lobotomy might,” she said sarcastically.

“Stop joking! I’m serious,” he implored. “You’ve had several nightmares lately that leave you emotionally drained. It’s even affecting you when you’re awake.”

His comment made tears well up in her eyes. Ren reached over and took her in his arms. When she seemed calmer, he guided her into the kitchen. She watched as he filled the kettle with water and brought out herbal tea. While he busied himself, she sat back admiring him. At thirty-three he was in great shape. His tight fitting shirt emphasized his well-defined pecs and a washboard stomach. She watched the muscles in his arms flex as he tore open the package of tea and remembered the feeling of strength in them when he held her. His pants were loose fitting, but underneath were strong sculpted muscles. As he poured her tea, her eyes travelled up to his face. His hair was dark brown and shoulder length. His jaw was square, his nose thin and he had gorgeous brown eyes that were covered with long dark lashes, like Jay’s.

Judy, on the other hand, was a petite woman, no more than 115 pounds. She had long wavy reddish brown hair, big blue eyes, a small nose and fine features, like Jay. Her body was well proportioned, and with Ren’s guidance, becoming more muscle toned.

“Here you go Jude,” Ren said handing her the cup. “This always makes you feel better.”

Judy took a sip and felt the warmth seep through her, while Ren sat patiently waiting for her to talk. He didn’t want to push her, yet needed to know about the dreams and why they seemed to take so much out of her. Judy watched him while she drank her tea and sensed his curiosity and concern. She really didn’t want to talk about it, but realized she couldn’t run from this anymore it wasn’t fair to Ren.

Taking a deep breath she began recounting her latest dreams of the green-eyed woman. When Judy was finished they sat in silence. Ren felt desperate to help, but didn’t know what to do. Judy looked at him and knew exactly what he was thinking. Reaching for his hand she took it in hers.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get through this. Even Jay is confident.”

Ren gave her a questioning look. “What do you mean Jay is confident?”

“He looked me straight in the eyes and said so,” she said.

“Don’t you hate when he does that?” he cringed.

She took another sip of her tea before answering. “Yes and no. I think he’s just trying to help.”

Ren and Judy continued talking while they made supper. She explained her theories about the dreams, as well as told him about the onslaught of new psychic abilities she seemed to suddenly possess. She felt like she was being pulled into some kind of mystic world and because of this her anxiety escalated, causing her to experience more nightmares. Most of the dreams focused on her mother’s murder, while others seemed to play on her paranoia. She knew she should talk to someone about it, but fear stopped her from doing so.

Ren was glad that she finally confided in him. He was relieved to know what was going on, yet a feeling of unsettledness lay in the pit of his stomach. When Judy’s clairvoyance was heightened, it usually meant something was about to happen. A part of him was puzzled that her abilities wouldn’t give her some insight into this matter. He also wondered why she didn’t confide in her uncle since he too was clairvoyant. He posed this question to her.

“I think I’m too close to the situation causing my abilities to shut down,” she said chopping up vegetables for the salad. “As far as telling my uncle, I chose not to because he gets upset when I rehash my mother’s murder.”

She leaned past him to get the salad spinner, poured the vegetables in and spun the mixture until most of the moisture was in the bottom bowl. She took the lid off, poured it into a large glass bowl and handed this to Ren then continued.

“It’s ironic how my abilities are more focused when I am helping others in their time of need. Now I am in need and they disappear,” she sighed.

“I don’t think they disappeared,” Ren said placing the bowl on the kitchen table. “I think your problem is that you have a major attitude.”

“Very funny!” Judy made a face, grabbed a piece of carrot and threw it at him. The carrot bounced off Ren and fell to the floor. This prompted Sam to go and investigate. She sniffed it at first, picked it up, dropped it, then picked it up again and started chewing. After a few seconds she stopped, spit it out and walked over to lie down beside Judy. Ren bent down and threw it in the garbage. He shook his head as he wiped off his hands.

“I see you have influenced the dog. She has an attitude too.”

Judy was about to throw another vegetable at him when Ren swiftly caught her wrists and pulled her into his arms.

“You’re so tense,” he whispered into her ear. “I think I know what you need.”

“And what’s that?”

“An orgasm.”

Judy felt the heat rush through her as Ren pushed her hair back and began kissing her neck, while lifting up her top to caress her flesh. His mouth felt hot and wet on her skin, as he traced a path from her neck to her mouth. When he reached her lips, he held her in a kiss. Their need for each other was strong. So strong they were unaware of their son standing there watching them.

“That’s disgusting!!”

Ren jumped and quickly moved away while Judy tucked her top back in her pants.

“Why do parents do that kind of stuff?” Jay asked making a face.

Ren cleared his throat, “Because we love each other.”

Jay cringed at the thought. “I’m never going to do that when I’m older. That’s gross.”

Ren was about to inform him that in time he’ll think differently, but realized at his age he really wasn’t into the boy/girl stuff, so he just dropped it.

Jay soon forgot about his parent’s one-on-one action to work on his homework and Judy and Ren went back to finishing the supper preparations. After they were done eating, and everything was cleaned up, they took Sam out for her nightly walk.

They passed a park along the way and decided to stop so that both Jay and Sam could play. Sam pulled at her leash eager to investigate the small forest ahead. Ren let her go and she went bounding towards the trees, stopping to sniff and pee on every one. Eventually, she came sauntering back, dropped a stick by Ren’s feet and began barking.

“All right, all right. I get the hint.”

Ren picked it up and gave it a toss. Sam raced to get it and within seconds returned, assuming the same position. Jay soon joined in trying to beat the dog to the stick. Ren threw the stick and both Sam and Jay raced for it.

When everyone was finally worn out, they headed home. Jay got a quick snack and then was herded off to bed, where he promptly fell asleep. Judy was getting ready to leave Jay’s room when Ren popped his head in.

“Jay’s asleep already?” Ren was surprised as normally Jay was talking up a storm at bedtime.

“He was tired,” she whispered.

Judy was about to close Jay’s door when the sound of loud snoring caught her attention. The noise was coming from Sam who was passed out beside Jay’s bed.

“It seems like someone else is pretty tired too,” she said smiling.

“I think I have found a way to guarantee some sleep around here. Every night I’ll have Jay and Sam chase a stick,” Ren said.

Judy laughed softly and started towards their bedroom. Ren was following closely behind watching her hips sway as she walked. He moved down to her butt noticing its firmness then let his eyes stray to her long shapely legs. Judy sensed his eyes on her so she turned around and noticed the hunger there.

“God you are beautiful,” he said in a husky voice.

He bent his head forward and kissed her. It was a gentle one that just brushed her lips. He continued teasing her with feather-like kisses, as he eased her into the bedroom and onto the bed. When he found her breasts, he gently caressed them then moved his hands downwards where he parted her legs. Judy closed her eyes as his finger entered her, moving into her until she was moaning and moving with him. She withered this way and that, taking in all he had to give her until she shuddered and felt the ripple of pleasure flow throughout her body. Judy gasped when his fingers were replaced with his tongue as it teased and tantalized her. Judy could feel the pressure building up and then felt the pleasure of its release. Just as exhaustion began to seep in, he rolled on top and entered her. They rocked back and forth as pleasure flowed within them until they finally exploded.

Having back-to-back orgasms left Judy feeling utterly exhausted. She was almost asleep when she heard Ren whisper in her ear. “I think you’ll have a great sleep now.”

And she did.
