His Chance

Hailey - Chapter 12

Dinner was wonderful.  Chance held my hand under the table during dinner.  The restaurant was beautiful and romantic and we had the best time with Felix and Hannah. We just left them and we said our goodbyes to Hannah as we'll be flying to London tomorrow. Felix is returning home on the same flight as us, so we told him we'd see him tomorrow afternoon. Now, Chance and I have just gotten back to our suite.

"Baby, you looked so beautiful tonight", Chance tells me as we start to undress and get ready for bed.

"Thank you", I say, as he walks up behind me and puts his arms around me and buries his head into the side of my neck.

"You always smell so good", he says.

"You smell pretty good yourself", I tell him as I turn to face him and kiss him softly on the lips.  He takes me by the hand and leads me over to the bed.  Chance pulls back the covers and I climb into bed and he follows right behind me.  He holds me in his arms and tells me he loves me and the two of us are so exhausted from our day that I soon fall asleep in his arms and that is the last thing I remember about tonight.

                                                                                              *************************

I awaken to the soft sound of Chance snoring lightly next to me.  I smile to myself.  I glance over at the clock on the side table and it is 4:49 am.  I quietly crawl out of bed and head to the bathroom.  I relieve  myself and then stand at the sink washing my hands as I look into the mirror.  Thankfully, I'm no longer quite so sore down below.  I guess my body is getting used to having sex and for that I am grateful.  I love being with my husband and I want to be able to fully enjoy our lovemaking.  I know that now that I'm up, I am not going to be able to go back to sleep so I decide that I might as well take a bath.  I run the water and once the tub is full, I climb in and soak for about 20 minutes.  Just as I'm about to get out, I hear a quiet knock on the bathroom door.

"Come in", I say, as I know that Chance must be awake and wondering where I am and what I'm doing.

"There you are", he says to me, as he walks in and comes over and sit down on the edge of the tub next to me.  "I woke up and you weren't in bed and I was wondering if everything was ok", he says as he leans down and kisses me atop my head.

"I'm fine, baby", I tell him.  "I woke up and I didn't want to disturb you so I decided to take a bath.  Everything is wonderful with me.  Are you ok? I was just getting out", I say as I reach out my hand to hold his.

He lifts my hand up towards him and brushes his lips across the back of my hand and kisses me.  This reminds me of the very first time I met him and he did the very same thing.  I feel exactly the same way I did that first time he did this as this action of his sends a bolt of electricity directly to my core.  Oh, how I love this man.

"Yes, love, I'm wonderful too. I just rolled over in bed and you weren't there and I was missing you is all", he sweetly says to me and my heart just melts.

I stand up and begin to climb out of the tub as Chance holds a towel up and then wraps it around me. He wraps his arms around the towel and just holds me for a few seconds before letting me go. "You coming back to bed?", he asks me as he walks over to the sink and starts brushing his teeth.

"Yes", I respond, "I would like to try and get a little more sleep before we have to start packing and getting ready for our flight".

"Oh, I wasn't talking about going back to sleep quite yet baby", he says as he turns towards me with a smile on his face and a look of mischief in his eyes.

I smile at him and laugh. "What were you talking about then?", I playfully ask him as if I don't have any idea what he's talking about.

He walks towards me and removes the towel from my body and lets it fall to the floor. "Let me show you", he says and he starts kissing me and running his hands up and down my back. "Follow me".

Chance switches off the light and hand in hand we leave the bathroom and return to our bed. We spend the next hour or so (honestly I couldn't tell you how long because it feels like time stands still when I'm with him) making love and cuddling and laughing and watching the sun come up, and just as it does, we both fall back to sleep.
