Chapter 67 - Jasmine

A couple of days after her visit to the hospital for a severe case of salmonella induced food poisoning, Jasmine awoke to the feeling of Ethan snuggled against her back as he'd spooned her from behind. She felt the evidence of his hard morning erection pressed up against her ass, and smiling to herself, she wiggled, pressing against him. Groaning into her hair, Ethan said, "No baby...you're still recovering." Pouting, Jasmine shifted in Ethan's embrace, and turned her body so that she could face him. As she did so, she flinched slightly because her stomach and lower back was still very sore from the violent convulsions that she'd experienced over the hours that she'd spent vomiting not only the meal that they'd eaten half an hour before, but also what had felt like damn near everything that she'd eaten from her childhood. Jasmine could have sworn that she'd seen a half-eaten chicken McNugget from a happy meal that she'd had in the fourth grade mixed in there as well!

Biting her bottom lip, and smiling when Ethan moaned as he'd watched her, Jasmine said, "I'm all better now baby...I promise." Shaking his head, Ethan said, "Baby, I saw the way that you flinched when you turned over just now. So, no...you're not all better now." Giving him what she hoped was a sad look, Jasmine said, "We can go really slow, and even do it from the side." Still shaking his head as if he were about to disagree again, Jasmine took matters into her own hands as she reached down between their bodies and gently gripped Ethan's length right before she began stroking him in the way that she knew he liked. When he closed his eyes and moaned, Jasmine smiled as she said, "Please... I need you baby."

Groaning once more, Ethan's stare was intense as he said, "Nice and slow baby, and from the side." And staring into her eyes, he said, "And the minute you feel any pain or nausea, we stop. Deal?" Nodding her head in agreement, Jasmine said, "Deal." Shaking his head, Ethan said, "You're killing me baby. I'm trying to take care of you, and you're not being a very good patient right now Jasmine." Jasmine's smile was wide as she said, "You have taken great care of me baby, and I love you so much for that. But what I need right now will help me to recover a lot faster. It's even been medically proven." Giving him a coy look, she laughed when Ethan narrowed his eyes at her and simply shook his head.

When Ethan lifted her leg over his hip and positioned the thick head of his arousal against the slick entrance of her core, they moaned in unison as he slowly pushed inside of her. "Fuuuuck...you feel incredible Jasmine." Biting her lip, Jasmine said, "So do you Ethan." What had started off as nice and slow, eventually had turned into an intense lovemaking session as Ethan had sat on his knees, still lodged deep inside of Jasmine, as he'd pulled her body tighter against him while lifting one of her legs against his chest while the other stayed bent beneath him. In this scissor-styled position and at that angle, Ethan was able to not only hit damn near every single nerve inside of her, but he was also able to use his thumb to stroke her engorged clit as well.

The intense way that Ethan stared down at her, and the way that he was rolling and dipping his hips as he pinched and rolled her clit had Jasmine screaming his name in a matter of minutes. But Ethan was a man on a mission, because as he'd continued deep stroking inside of her, he'd smiled down at her as he'd said, "One more baby. Give me one more." Shaking her head, because she thought there was no way in hell that she could have another orgasm, Jasmine said, "I can't baby..." Slowly nodding his head, Ethan said, "You can...and you will." And when he reached down and rolled the hard nipple of her left breast as he lifted her hips higher, placing her ass on his slightly bent leg, which planted him even deeper inside of her. Jasmine's eyes widened as shock and surprise filled her when she felt another orgasm a second before Ethan slapped her on the ass, which threw her over the edge, and she screamed his name again. Ethan wasn't too far behind, because he threw his head back and yelled out her name right before she felt the warmth of his release fill her.

An hour later, Jasmine was sitting on the sofa, wrapped up in a chenille blanket as she waited for Ethan to heat up the soup that Kim had dropped off the day before. Once he'd poured the hot soup into a bowl, he cut up the homemade bread that Kim had made and placed a few slices next to the bowl. Being cautious of the things that she could tolerate on her stomach, Ethan poured Jasmine a glass of ginger ale over ice, and added a chilled bottle of water as well, just in case. Seeing the tray in his hands, Jasmine smiled up at him as she said, "Thank you Ethan." Returning the smile, Ethan said, "Of course." After Ethan had positioned the tray table over her thighs, Jasmine smiled when he sat on the other end of the couch, and after lifting her socked feet, he placed them in his lap before grabbing the remote and starting their action movie.

Once Jasmine had eaten the majority of her soup and several of the slices of bread, she down half of the ginger ale, along with the final dose of the antibiotics that she'd been given at the emergency room. Due to how sick Jasmine had been from the salmonella poisoning a few days prior, the emergency room physician, Dr. Alexander had only given her enough antibiotics to last a few days, because of the high dosage, and advised that she drink plenty of fluids, which Nurse Ethan had definitely made sure she'd done. Ethan had been truly amazing and had practically waited on her hand and foot since she'd been discharged from the hospital.

Jasmine had slept on and off the entire night that night, and Ethan had never left her side, nor had he gotten any rest either. Each time she'd moved, or made a noise, he'd been right by her side. And now as she stared at Ethan's handsome profile as he watched Extraction 2, starring Chris Hemsworth, Jasmine couldn't help but smile. And sensing her stare, Ethan glanced over at her, and paused before a slow smile spread across his face and he said, "What's that look for?" With the soothing way that Ethan was massaging her feet, and calves had Jasmine struggling to stay awake, and right on cue, she covered her mouth as a huge yawn escaped her. Chuckling, Ethan said, "Never mind...I think it's time to put you to bed." Being unable to fight it any longer, Jasmine said, "I'm sorry baby... I really wanted to watch this movie with you." Shaking his head, Ethan said, "It's okay baby. The movie will always be here. We can watch it another time. Besides, you resting right now is more important." Giving him a half smile, Jasmine said, "I love you, Ethan Daniels." Ethan's eyes softened and he leaned over and placed a kiss to her lips as he said, "I love you too Jasmine Daniels." Since their engagement several days prior, Ethan had continued to refer to her as "Jasmine Daniels", and each time he'd done so, like now, her heart had skipped a beat in her chest.

The next morning, Jasmine awoke to an empty bed. Frowning, she sat up and glanced around the room. Hearing the sound of the shower, Jasmine smiled to herself as she slowly climbed out of bed. Still feeling a slight soreness in her stomach and lower back, she stretched and groaned as her stomach muscles protested the action. Making her way towards the large master bathroom Jasmine stood in the doorway and watched Ethan in the shower. Shaking her head at the sight of his gorgeous body as he stood with his eyes closed and allowed the hot water to run over his head and down his back, she softly moaned to herself as arousal flooded every cell in her body. Ethan was like a damn drug, and one that she hoped like hell that she never lost the craving for.

Undressing, she allowed the silky pale pink thigh length night gown to drop to the floor before she stepped forward, completely naked and opened the door of the massive glass shower. Sensing her presence, Ethan wiped a palm over his face to remove the water from his eyes and turned to face her. When his eyes roamed seductively over her body from her feet and slowly up to lock with hers, Jasmine bit the corner of her bottom lip as she said, "Good morning handsome." Licking his lips as his eyes dropped to her breasts before dropping lower to her partially waxed mound, Ethan groaned as he said, "It's about to be a great morning in a few minutes."

And true to his word, Ethan turned their morning into an abso-fucking-lootly marvelous one!
