Dark Femme (BWWM)

Chapter fifteen

- Anita stone

When I wake up it's to the sound of cries coming from besides me.

I'm so warm and comfortable pressed against  something solid and smooth.

"Anita," my eyes open to Thaddeus's face.

I jolt back but before I could go too far his arm around me pulls me back.

"Be careful . " he warns me, still holding me close to his body.
My heart beats rapidly in my chest.

He gets up when the crying doesn't subside.

I laid in bed, mind still lulled by the events of yesterday.

I felt safe in Thaddeus arms and I had the best sleep in a really long time.

"Shh, you did so well sleeping through the night. " Thaddeus has the baby tucked into his neck while gently patting his back.

The image stirred something in me, a want I never thought I'd have.

Did I want children? Did I want a husband too... to wake up every morning to the sight of my family waiting for me.

"Let's go get you food and then you can stretch your legs."  He talks to the baby without the gentle cooing voice most people put on upon meeting a baby.

He spoke like he was talking to any other person.

It was kind of cute that he only really had one mode.

Thaddeus washed himself and the baby. He didn't bother with the towel for himself coming out of the bathroom. He only wrapped a towel around the baby and walked out completely naked.

Seeing water drip down his body and his massive flaccid member and muscular thighs on display for less than a second before I could turn around. The image was burned into my brain. There's no way a man could be that big without being hard right?

I slapped myself on the cheek at the fact I was objectifying him once more.

I have got to get it together.

I continued doing my makeup but I couldn't keep my hand steady at all.
No matter how hard I tried the image wouldn't leave my mind.

"You look so dashing." Thaddeus compliments the boy as he places him gently on the bed.
He's half dressed now in his dark designer briefs and a wife beater will the baby is fully dressed down to printed socks on his tiny toes.

"Anita, will you look after him while I get ready?"

I look at myself in the mirror, the bright translucent powder under my eye and my nose made me look a scary and I didn't want him to see me in this state of facial undress.

"Yup, don't worry about him, I've got him." I say focusing on the mirror over the dark, silver lined dresser.

"I'm not naked anymore." He tells me, his voice more serious than teasing as I'd expected.

"I'm sorry about the nudity, I had a difficult time with him in the bath and I supposed it escaped my mind. I didn't mean to expose myself to you. Truly it's unbecoming of me." He apologizes so sincerely that my heart skips a beat.

Thaddeus is not a nice man at all but why does he apologize so wholeheartedly. Why is he so polite and 'gentlemanly'?

Why is he doing this to me?
Why couldn't he just be all rough and gruff like the 'mafia' leaders you read about in books?

Why was he so nice ...

"Would you look at me? So I know I haven't made myself a repulsive sight to you."
I grant his request to appease him before I could even think about why I hadn't in the first place.
