Happy weekend, Snippetteers! It’s been a busy week for me. We had a garden party at work on Thursday to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary. It was great fun, but there were a lot of leftovers from the wonderful catering and I ended up eating salmon sandwiches on Thursday evening and Friday lunch time. I could have had more for Friday night but I thought I might turn into a salmon!

Anyway, welcome to the next snip from Summit. Last week Ash and Sean were about to go hiking, with the promise of some sexy fun at the end of the day. But when they get back to the house and get hot under the collar, things don’t go according to plan.

I hesitated before I climbed onto the bed. My hands trembled and my knees weakened as I remembered what I’d read on the Internet and hoped I wouldn’t fuck up. At thirty-seven, I felt like a teenager about to have sex for the first time and that made me think about my actual first time. It had been a disaster. I’d gone at it like a battering ram, the girl screamed in pain, I lost my erection, and her mother barged into the room to find out what was going on. The horrible memory made my skin crawl and my dick softened. Shit.

“Ash?” Sean turned to face me and touched my cheek. “You okay?”

“Yeah.” His palm was cool on my burning face and I avoided his eyes.

“We don’t have to do anything we haven’t done before, if you don’t want.”

“I do want. I just—” I scrunched up my face in embarrassment. This had to be worse than my first time because I wanted it so badly and I was anxious to please Sean. “Sorry.”

He tucked his face into my neck and draped his leg over mine. His now only half-hard cock bumped my thigh and I suppressed a groan. My stupid nerves had turned him off.
