"And that was two weeks ago!" Raven whined to Becca who just snickered at her friend's complaints.
Raven could not understand just what was so funny. It has already been two weeks since her visit to the dungeon and her confession to Rowan about, maybe, liking bondage and the way their conversation was going that night at the parking lot, Raven thought that once they got home they would, well try "it".But Rowan did not do anything! Sure they had amazing sex afterward but well she was expecting more.
Raven released a sigh as she slumped down on her kitchen counter and laid her upper on it,
"I think am becoming weird Bee." She confessed with a sigh.
"Why?" Becca asked as she took a sip of her tea.
"I mean...recently I feel insatiable! What if Rowan does like this about me? " Raven asked, sitting back upright and cracking her fingers.
Becca watched her for a few seconds, recognizing the faraway look on her face and the rapid finger cracking.
"Raven," Becca called out making Raven snap out of the haze by her friend's change of tone.
"Talk to Rowan about your worries, the more you think about this without communicating, the more you will get buried by your own thoughts and insecurities." She said gently as she placed her cup back on the table and looked at the anxious woman deep in her eyes.
"And before you know it, you have jumped to the wrong conclusions and made mountains out of molehills. Do not let your thoughts consume you, Rave, remember they are just thoughts...Okay?" Becca asked firmly as she held Raven's hands in.
Raven found her words and actions too intense, but an invisible force in Becca's voice urged her to reply,
"Okay," Raven answered, gently squeezing her friend's hands in return.
"Awesome!" Becca exclaimed in her normal tone with all seriousness drained from it, "I would love to stay but your hubby is almost home and I do not want to keep mine waiting." She announced as she stood to leave.
"Oh, it's seven already?" Raven asked as she checked the time on her phone, "Wow, time flies huh." Raven mumbled to herself.
"I know right?" Becca replied as she walked to the door, "Remember communication is the key. Talk with him, Rave. Bye!" Becca shouted as she left, closing the door behind her and leaving Raven at the kitchen counter.
"Like a hurricane," Raven said to herself with a chuckle, thinking of her friend as she cleaned up the cups that they had used.
A few minutes later, Rowan let himself into the house and found her drying her hands with the back of her trousers, just having finished cleaning up.
"Hello, Love." Rowan greeted Raven with a back hug, his hands snaking around her waist and his front glued to her back.
"Hi Ro," Raven said back, tilting her head up and kissing his chin getting a soft grumble of approval from her husband's chest.
"You look and sound tired...like more than usual," Raven noted furrowing her eyebrows at the man's shut eyes.
"I am tired of office work plus...a surprise," Rowan revealed as he started to gently sway side to side making Raven sway with him.
"A surprise you say?" Raven asked, turning in his arms and wrapping her hands around his neck while maintaining the gentle swaying momentum, "When can I have it?" she asked as she looked up at Rowan who was looking down at her with hooded eyes.
He is so tired, Raven thought to herself, her eyebrows furrowing with worry at the sight of her tired husband's face.
"How soon can you take a few days off?" Rowan asked.
"I can put in a notice tomorrow and could get it on Thursday...hopefully," Raven replied raising her eyebrow at the off-topic question.
"This coming Thursday?" Rowan asked as he burrowed into the crook of her neck.
"Uh...Yeah."Raven replied as she craned her neck to accommodate her husband now wrapping her hands under his arms and across his back.
"How many days off can you get?" Rowan asked.
"Well, I would have to go back to work on Tuesday, I think," Raven answered, choosing to go with the twenty-questions game.
"Good, then you will get your surprise then," Rowan stated not making a move to leave Raven's neck.
A few minutes pass while they were in that position.
"Ro? Are you asleep?" Raven asked with a whisper, suspicious at the evened-out breathing from her husband.
"No," Rowan answered after a few minutes.
"Wanna stay like this for a while?" Raven asked, getting a hum of approval from her husband she placed her chin on Rowan's shoulder and closed her eyes with a content sigh.
