Warning: heavy sexual content

1 year later from the epilogue

"Goodnight my sweet boy, momma loves you oh so much." I kiss Tommy on the forehead and walk out of his room without forgetting to put on the nightlight.

Stars illuminate the ceiling as I walk out of his room.

"Did he knock out?" Bryan asks putting the last few dishes away in the dish washer.

We had a small get together with friends and family for Bryan's 26th birthday. Everyone left about an hour ago which gave me enough time to bathe and read Tommy a book. We have a nighttime ritual, to always read a book to sleep or a bed time story because he loves it so much.

"Yeah, one word into the story and he was out." I smile and then grimace "it was probably all the sugar since someone here had to get a piñata." I point to him and roll my eyes.

"Hey piñatas are fun!" He says defensively and walks around the kitchen island until he's in front of me. "You enjoyed all those snickers don't lie." He pokes my nose and I crinkle it when he pecks it right after.

Chocolate and wine envelopes my senses from his breath fanning my face.

"Duh." I slightly shove him, which literally does nothing because he's like a bolder and make my way to our bedroom.

I'm in desperate need of a shower to take off all the sweat and grime from today. Summer time heat in California is hell. It's dry and makes you feel like you're in a desert.

I take off all my clothes, throwing them in the hamper and hop right in the shower not wasting a second to put cold water on.

It's refreshing and relaxes all my muscles.

"Oh shit!" Bryan squeals when he gets in with me. "That's freezing!" He goes to the far end corner of the shower making sure the water doesn't hit him.

I turn the dial making it hot, to his liking and laugh at his state. He looks like a wet dog.

"Why'd you put it cold?" He asks when he gets under the large shower head.

"I'm sore." I grab shampoo and lather my short hair. I cut it all off and now it reaches my shoulders. I wanted a different look.

"Let me." He says and starts massaging my shoulders and neck and rinsing out the shampoo for me.

I love taking showers with him. Not because we're naked and we can have sex even though he's a really great sight. No, it's because he always wants to wash me no matter what.

"Why do you always want to wash me?" I ask as he lathers body wash on a small towel and begins to wash my body.

"I like taking care of you." He kisses my cheek and smiles when he sees them turn pink.

It's been almost two years together and he still makes me blush from the simplest gestures.

"Thank you." I say timidly and grab his free hand kissing each knuckle.

"Don't thank me wife, because you'll be doing it for the rest of your life." He grins and gives me a chaste kiss on the lips and continues washing me until I'm covered in bubbles.
