Better Unwed Than Dead (6 page)

Nick began to struggle like he was going to
make good on his threat.

Julia laughed and finally relented, working
herself hard on him until both were panting, straining, unable to
make any more jokes. Nick flexed his wrists against their biding,
the flimsy elastic and lace stretched loose as he held onto the
rung, using the leverage to grind upwards as Julia ground down. Her
orgasm triggered his, the muscles in his neck and arms flexing in
his ecstasy. Minutes ticked by as they sat there, limp. Nick’s arms
felt heavy so he shook off the ruined panties and wrapped his arms
around Julia while she lay spent against his chest. It was a long
time before she lifted her head.

“You know, now that I no longer really
believe you’ll die if we get married, there is another problem with
us getting hitched.”

“What problem is that?”

“Married people don’t have much sex. It’s,
like, a scientifically proven fact.”

Nick laughed, “Well, we’ll just have to be
careful to avoid that trap, won’t we? And if we get into a rut,
then ‘Bad Nick’ can come in and show ‘Good Nick’ how to properly
please his wife. What do you say?” He held her hand up between
them.

Julia looked at the engagement ring sparking
on her finger, knowing he needed her to reaffirm her surety that
she’d marry him. Looking from the diamond to Nick, Julia had never
felt so sure of anything in her life. “I say ‘I do’.”

And later that summer she did and they lived
happily ever after for a very, very long time.

The End
