Independence Day? Ah, yes, Christmas in July. Treason is the reason for this beautiful ass season, where we promiscuous gun-toting, bacon-eating, war-winning, beer-drinking, bar-fighting degenerates celebrate our Brexit. For some, it's the last day of having all ten fingers after setting off illegal military-grade fireworks, but a pinky is a small, noble sacrifice to honor the day we set out milk and cookies for Captain America. All of history began on July 4th, 1776.
Everything else before that?
A mistake.
Nothing beats celebrating imperialism with fevered patriotism, I always say.
I mean, I may be slightly biased. As a Vietnam veteran and retired firefighter, I ride an American bald eagle outfitted with two M61s and a 46 HEMI. It's all in good fun, though. I served with many British soldiers, and we would coke and joke about our severed ties late into the night. I'd remind them that we kicked their ass multiple times, and they'd tell me about how the Vietnamese kicked ours, except that's a god-forsaken lie.
We didn't lose in 'Nam. It was a tie, dammit.
But honestly, I'm very proud of my service, and who doesn't enjoy a day off from work to enjoy good food and even better company? I love to throw little shindigs at the old family home and invite everyone over for a good time. This year, we had a pretty good turnout as in years past, most of our family members refrained from meeting due to the pandemic. It was so good seeing all of my kids, grandbabies, and nieces and nephews. Everyone was growing up so quickly that it always made this fossil shed a tear.
"Uncle Jake!"
I turned from the grill to see my beautiful niece heading towards me with one of her friends in tow.
"Sasha! There's my favorite niece in the whole wide world!"
I gathered her into a bear hug and swung her around as she giggled, just like she used to as a kid.
"Uncle Jake, put me down!" she managed between laughs as I blew a raspberry on her collarbone.
"I'm almost 35 years old, and you're still swinging me around like a baby. I don't know how you haven't broken a hip."
"What can I say? I'm a specimen," I bellowed with bravado, going into a few poses I learned on the amateur body-building circuit.
"You do hold up well for a 70-year-old man."
"70?!" Sasha's friend exclaimed.
"71 next week, my dear. I'm Jacob, but you can call me Jake."
I locked eyes with Sasha's friend and flashed her a smile as we shook hands. The woman was absolutely gorgeous.
"Hello, Mr. Jake, I'm Allyson."
She smiled at me, and I thought my knee replacement gave out the way I suddenly felt weak.
"That's an absolutely dazzling smile. Would you like something to eat?"
Allyson blushed and clasped her fingers together, and I quickly noticed the wedding ring on her left hand.
"I am feeling a bit peckish, actually."
"Is that an Australian accent I hear?"
"Yea, she's from Melbourne," Sasha replied as she grabbed two plates and loaded them up with macaroni and baked beans. "Did mom make these?"
"Yes, sweetheart, Tonya insisted. The last time I saw her, she was with Martha in the kitchen. And Melbourne, eh? Oh man, a descendant of British convicts, just like us Americans before today in 1776."
"Careful, my husband is a Brit. But I do love the way you all celebrate your independence; it's just so flashy," Allyson mused.
"What can I say, it's the American way, baby!"
I invited them to take their pick of their grill, and as I filled their plates, I couldn't help but fawn over Allyson's breasts attempting to spill out of her dress as she held her plate out towards me.
"Ally, do you want a beer?" Sasha inquired.
"Oh, I really shouldn't; I promised Oliver I'd behave."
Behave, hunh?
I pretended to be preoccupied with flipping some patties as Allyson and Sasha spoke.
"C'mon, lightweight, a beer or two won't hurt. I don't want to be tipsy by myself!"
"Alright, alright. Only one, though!" I heard Allyson exclaim.
Sasha cracked the cooler next to the grill and pulled out a beer for each of us.
"Here you go, Uncle Jake. Thank you for the food!"
"Any time, my love," I said while raising my can in a cheer.
I watched them both walk over to a table across the yard, fixated on the slight jiggle Allyson's ass gave underneath her flattering bodycon dress. To my surprise, my cock started to stiffen.
What I wouldn't do for a piece of that sweet, young ass.
Now, I don't have a problem getting this old Thunderbird started, but usually, my erections come after getting naked. The days of random erections become a lot less frequent as the years go by. For the times the engine won't turn over, it's nothing that magical little blue pill won't fix. I thank God for the apron I wore because there wasn't a way in hell my stiffy wouldn't have been obvious through my shorts.
Keep it together, Jakey boy.
"Thomas! Come on over and get you a burger, you prick!" I hollered at one of my cousins.
//*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
The music was loud and the men were proud, with beer flowing like the tea we threw over into Boston Harbor. Everyone had stuffed themselves silly in true glutinous American fashion, so I set aside extra patties, dogs, and wings in buffet warmers for any of those saving space for the final innings. As the afternoon sun began its descent in the west, the yard was bathed in a warm, golden glow that tied everything together beautifully. Some of the guys and I were knocking back a few at a table of our own while the wives congregated in the kitchen and the kids enjoyed themselves outside.
"I tell you what, Pat, that Sasha has grown up into quite something," one of our bowling partners, Dan, remarked to my brother, Pat.
In the middle of the tranquil landscape, we casually observed the hurricane of youth that filled the yard with singing, dancing, and raucous laughter. Sasha's personality served as the catalyst, barking song requests and leading everyone else in song as if she were a conductor, a bottle of tequila serving as her baton.
"Play something I can shake my ass to, Noah!" Sasha yelled at my son, her deejaying cousin. He flashed a thumbs up without lifting his head from his workstation and a thumping bass line blared through his speakers.
"I will fuck you up, Daniel," Pat said with a swig of his beer.
"Yea! That's my niece, you pig!" I instigated jokingly.
"I'm the pig? You don't think we haven't been watching you eye fuck her friend with the fat ass, have you?"
Our other teammate, Riley, barely kept the beer in his mouth as he stifled his laughter.
"What? It's fat; can you blame me?" I shrugged.
All the men at the table agreed in unison.
"Brooke is looking mighty fine too, Jake," Dan rang out.
"Alright, ya jag-off, don't push it," I warned him.
"Fine, we'll focus on Sasha's friend then."
"Her name's Allyson."
The table devolved into whoops of laughter reminiscent of a middle school locker room.
"He knows her name already!"
"Give it up, old man; the time of having asses like that for us to trim is long behind us," Pat bemused. "But man, that one over there is something, isn't she?"
In the midst of the beer bottles littering the table, Sasha was pouring the liquor directly into the mouths of people below her. Allyson, being the closest, was the main beneficiary of Sasha's agave waterfall, reticently opening her mouth as Sasha pressured her to drink time after time.
"Oooh, there we go!" Sasha shrieked.
Allyson serenely sat on the bench underneath Sasha with her legs crossed, her perfectly pedicured white toes bouncing up and down as she tapped out the beat in the air and swayed to the music. If Sasha was the hot water powering this typhoon, Allyson was definitely the eye of the storm. But as they say, the calm of the storm hides the strongest part.
"Bitch, get up here and shake some ass!"
"Sasha! Are you crazy?" Allyson hissed.
"Stop acting all shy; you know you want to."
"I'm practically legless because of all this liquor, you cunt!"
"C'mon, Ally! Go!" my daughter Brooke prompted with the aid of my horny nephews and their friends.
"Ally! Ally! Ally! Ally!" they chanted. I'm sure they were in the same perverted line of thought as the rest of us.
Sasha set the bottle down and kicked some of the empties off of the table to make room, grabbing Allyson by the hand and bringing her up onto the table. Allyson sheepishly faced the others and waved her hands in protest, but Sasha would have none of it.
"Shake it, bitch!"
"Oh, fuck it, why not?" Allyson relented.
Smoothly turning around and holding her hands up at her side in loose fists, she looked over her shoulder while making her ass clap; the bouncing motion seeming to swallow the thin fabric of her dress to the delight of everyone there. She then rhythmically kicked one foot forward repeatedly, one after the other, shaking her thighs provocatively as she held her hands up in the air. Hitching her dress up to her thighs, she bent forward and rested her palms on her bare knees, languidly shaking her ass to the slow bounce of the beat.
"Heyooo!" Sasha and the others screamed in glee.
They all reached up to slap her ass as she danced, whooping and hollering as she expertly moved each cheek on command, with some of the boys desperately trying to slip in a few pats of their own. My twenty-eight-year-old son Noah was a man of the people, and in the name of David Guetta, Diplo, and Marshmello, he would not let a crowd down. He quickly played a booming number with a rapid pace that sent the kids into an absolute frenzy.
"This is my SHIT!" Brooke yelled at the top of her lungs.
Allyson took the cue, her slow rolls speeding up to match the frenetic tempo of the beat. She reached up to throw her hair to one side, exposing the well-defined muscles of her back that jumped every time she lifted one of her anklet-clad heels off the ground. Sasha grabbed her hips from behind, and Allyson feverishly threw her ass back, her tongue poking out the corner of her mouth as she ground into her best friend's pelvis.
My jaw dropped.
"God damn," Dan cursed.
I swear you could hear the violent erections slamming into the bottom of the table as we all watched Allyson and Sasha dance. Dan's very Catholic wife, Martha, came out of the kitchen like a rocket and immediately dragged him away, much to his dismay.
"See ya next week, Dan," Pat quipped, raising his beer bottle.
Noah was in the zone, perfectly transitioning song after song as the kids all danced their crazy dances. Sasha flipped her long braided hair behind her and focused solely on daggering Allyson from behind with sharp thrusts of her hips. After a good 15 minutes, he calmed everything down for a bit with a slower number, causing Allyson to meekly stand up and clasp her hands together as the kids applauded. Sasha made her approval known with a resounding smack of Allyson's ass.
"That's my white girl!" Sasha cackled.
Hopping down, Allyson sat with a sweaty plop, fanning herself with her hands as she caught her breath. This was my chance. I nimbly slipped out of my seat with the intention of quickly hitting the water cooler.
"He's got that look in his eye," Riley reported.
"Outta your league, bro," Pat admonished.
"Speak for yourself, geezers."
Swinging by the cooler, I grabbed a bottle of water and made my way over to Allyson.
"You're quite the dancer, arentcha, Blondie?"
"Bugger off me; I looked like a bloody bogan up there," she said while turning around.
"Frack! Mr. Jacob, I didn't know it was you, I'm so sorry!"
"For what?" I said with a laugh. "Thirsty?"
I offered her the bottle of water, which she graciously accepted with a quick bow of her head, popping the cap and thirstily emptying the bottle with big, greedy gulps.
She was one of those people.
You know, the ones who wrap their entire mouth around the opening of a bottle instead of just putting their upper lips in the opening — it's un-American. But the way her plump lips parted to take the mouth of the bottle into hers drove me wild, and yet, it was nothing compared to the sight of her head tilting back and exposing her throat as she swallowed the water.
Perverted old man.
"That was so sweet of you; I've downed nothing but grog with Sasha around. I didn't even get a chance to grab a feed."
"You didn't eat?"
She shook her head.
"I'm pretty sure it's the reason I feel this liquor so readily."
"Well, Houston, we have a problem. C'mon, let's go fix that," I decided.
"Mr. Jake, you're too good to me."
"Of course, sweetie, it's no trouble to grab you a plate."
"Oh, Mr. Jake, no, you don't have to."
"But I want to. Also, none of that mister stuff, Missy, Jake is just fine. Do you mind if I grab a fix for myself as well?"
"Only if you'll join me, Jake," she playfully emphasized.
"But of course."
I offered my hand, and she took it with inebriated confidence.
"Sasha, love, I'll be back in a bit," she called out. Sasha nodded without turning around; she was too busy pouring liquor into Brooke's mouth.
We walked across the yard to the table of food I had set apart earlier and loaded two plates with some food, setting them down on an empty table nearby.
"I'll get the coldies," Allyson chimed.
"Really now? What happened to just one?" I goaded.
"One means four and three shots on the other side of the world. You know, extra longitude, latitude, carry the three, and all that," she promulgated with a coy smile.
Well then.
Grabbing two beers, Allyson set them down on the table, and her face lit up with excitement.
"God, this looks so good!"
Allyson put her blonde tresses into a ponytail and clasped her fingers in prayer before eating. I respectfully waited for her to finish before digging into my own plate.
"I'm sorry, force of habit," she said shyly.
"No worries; a sinner like me could do some praying himself."
"That's why I try not to stop. I'm always messing up."
"Oh really? Bit of a bad girl, aren't you?" I subtly probed.
Allyson averted my gaze and busied herself with the chicken in front of her, her well-manicured hand coming up to cover her mouth as she spoke.
"I have my moments," she said between bites.
"Those beautiful looks can't be the reason for that, are they?"
Her cheeks flushed with heat at the compliment as she took a long swig of beer.
Thatta girl.
"I'm on the wrong side of 30 for all that now. Look at me being a wombat skulling all this beer and chook. But it is so bloody good! How do you do it?"
"It's all in the marinade, my dear. And if the wombats in Oz all look like you, I'd be banned from every zoo and be in jail for bestiality."
Allyson burst into laughter and let out a hearty snort.
"Oh, fuck!"
She quickly clapped her hands over her mouth.
"Bit of a sailor's mouth, eh? I guess you are a naughty girl," I responded with a throaty laugh of my own.
With a sheepish nod, Allyson went back to picking her chicken wings clean between mouthfuls of beer.
"My father was a sailor. Mum hates the way we all speak to each other sometimes, especially us girls. Drives her mad," she giggled.
"Really? Did 24 years in the army myself. Spent a lot of time doing joint ops down in Brisbane with your countrymen."
"And women, I suppose?" Allyson furtively asked.
"Still some of my favorite experiences to date."
She laughed, and we continued to talk about anything and everything. I polished my beer off and asked her if she'd like another, to which she eagerly nodded. I returned with two more beers to the sight of Allyson wiping the grease from her fingers and placing her bones in a neat pile on her plate.
"Another ice-cold one, on the house."
"Thank you, love. Cheers."
I sat down and popped mine open using the edge of the table as she opened hers with her molars.
"Woah! You're pretty good with your mouth there!"
"So I've been told."
She sensuously raised her eyebrows at me and drained half her bottle in one go. All I could imagine was my cock taking the place of that bottle between her lips.
"Your husband sure is one lucky man."
"That's my sweetheart," she said reluctantly, picking at a chicken bone and avoiding eye contact.
"Uh-oh, trouble in paradise?"
"No, nothing like that, except the trouble I cause, of course. I make his life so difficult."
"How so?"
"I am a little... overindulgent. If that makes sense."
"It doesn't yet, but I'm sure you'll make it make sense, Barbie doll."
"No, no, I can't just go off rambling to you about my problems, we just met. It's foolish."
"Nonsense, tell me what's on your mind."
I took a sip of my beer as she fumbled for her words.
"It's just that, I- I do everything too much. Shopping, alcohol, sex, I get... insatiable."
"Sex? Not enough at home?"
Hook.
"It is enough. He does his best to take care of me for sure, but between him being gone so often and my ridiculous libido, it just-"
"Isn't enough."
Allyson dejectedly nodded.
"God I sound like such an ungrateful root rat speaking so nonchalantly about my sex life with someone I just met. If that doesn't tell you I'm bloody fucking pissed, I don't know what will," she bemoaned.
"Hey, we're all adults here. I'm double your age, so I count as two!" I said as she laughed.
"It's probably why I feel so comfortable talking to you, really."
"I tend to have that effect on the younger generations."
"Jacob, you're too sweet. Ollie is sweet too; he cares so much for me. He may be a little too sweet, and sometimes I don't want that."
"You want him to be rough," I inquired.
"Yes! It feels as if he's scared he might hurt me or something. He tries, but he still holds back."
"Well, an old relic like me would give him a run for his money back in my day."
Line.
"Stop it, Jake. I can't believe you look as good as you do for your age."
"I've got the energy to match, to boot. A good rough pounding is my specialty."
"Really now? When was the last time you expended some of that energy?"
"It's been a while, so I've got a lot in the tank. Think I could have a positive three or four."
"Three or four, what?" she squinted incredulously.
"Rounds, ma'am. Empty the clip, reload, and get back in the fight!"
I felt her bare foot lightly graze the inside of my calf, the charms on her anklet dancing across my skin.
Sinker.
"Oh come off it, I don't believe you. There's no way you're still cracking the fat after two go-arounds."
"Shit, with a woman like you? I'd make it five, for sure. The real question is, could you keep up with my roughness?"
I casually leaned back in my chair, draining my beer and spreading my legs wide as her foot began to travel up my knee.
Fuck, this is hot.
Allyson flirtatiously leaned forward and let her bottle hang between us. Her eyes were dangerously low, and her breath was warm, ironically sending a chill down my spine as it caressed my face.
"Could I keep up?"
Damn, she is buzzed.
Taking another sip of her almost empty beer, she then leaned back into her chair, her foot fishing around for my swollen cock inside my shorts. There was nothing but lust in her eyes as her toes ran the length of my shaft, wrapping them around the mushroom tip of my dick like a child gripping a doorknob.
"I'd make your heart stop, old man."
Without warning, her drunken ass leaned too far backward and fell out of her chair into the grass behind her. The flash of her pink thong between her tanned legs, as she fell over, was burned into my vision.
"Shit! Are you okay?!" I jumped out of my chair and ran to her side.
She was beside herself with laughter, and I couldn't help but join in as I helped her up.
"My goodness, I need to walk this liquor off."
That's all I need to hear.
"How about a walk, then?"
"A walk would definitely do me some good."
"Let me grab a coat just in case it gets chilly."
"Mhm," she responded in kind, lethargically closing her eyes and crossing her legs underneath her dress.
I stopped by the cooler for a bottle of water, briskly crossing the yard, and making my way into the house, dodging relatives trying to strike up conversation as I bounded up the stairs to my bedroom. With a familiar sweep of my nightstand, I pocketed a condom and popped a Viagra, greedily chasing it down with the water I had brought with me. I was back downstairs in less than two minutes, barely breaking a sweat.
"I thought you were grabbing a coat?" She cocked her head to the side, puzzled.
"Coat? What coat? C'mon, the trail is just over here."
"Slow down, cowboy," she said as I grabbed her arm. Rising on the tip of her toes, she whispered into my ear with the lust of Jezebel herself.
"You might want a coat."
I gulped for dramatic effect and went rushing back into the house. While trying to grab one of the throw blankets on one of the couches in the living room, I ran into Sasha and Brooke drunkenly stumbling into the foyer.
"Daddy!"
"Uncle Jaaaaake! Oh my God, I love you so much," Sasha slurred, wrapping me in an inebriated embrace as Brooke swayed unsteadily.
I don't have time for this!
"Yes, sweetie, Noah was looking for you outside, I believe," I mentioned in a hurried tone.
"Wait, you didn't say it back. Don't you love me?" Sasha's entire demeanor changed as her eyes filled with tears.
"No, no, no, honey, of course I love you!"
"Nobody loves me either!" Brooke cried out and fell into a heap on the living room floor, breaking down into raucous sobs.
This can't be happening.
"Oh, baby Brooke, don't worry, your Uncle Pat loves you!"
I sighed with relief as Pat came over and helped Brooke to her feet.
"I want every last nasty detail," he muttered as he walked her over to the couch, beckoning Sasha to join them.
"Sasha, baby, come over here and give your Daddy a hug!"
"Okay, Daddy!"
Sasha let me go and ran over to her father on the couch next to my daughter.
I grabbed one of the blankets and bolted, finding Allyson sitting down and nursing another beer.
"On your feet, young lady."
"Aye aye, sir," she mocked with a salute as she took my hand.
There was a twisty, mile-long trail that ran the back length of the property, where my siblings and I spent our summers running in the surrounding foliage and swimming in the creek that ran parallel to it. It was a welcome reprieve from the day's festivities, along with much-needed privacy and seclusion...
"This is beautiful. I would spend all my time out here," Allyson said in awe as she held onto me for stability. The alcohol had definitely taken its toll; her feet crossed each other often as she walked. The sound of the party was beginning to be replaced by the babble of the creek and a few bird calls.
