Unethical

Chapter 10: Christmas Day (Part Two)

"Oh last night?" I swallow the lump that grows inside my throat. I look elsewhere, but into his eyes.

"Yeah, that's what I said." Adam sounds so serious, it makes my hands sweat very quickly.

"Oh...well, um I went downstairs to get a cup of water. He was sitting by the tree and asked if I could join him while he opened up his present." I half lie.

"Oh nice! So is he nice to you?" Adam sits at the edge of the bed and begins to change his shoes.

"Yeah." I fake a smile to sound more convincing.

"Okay, I'm glad the brother and sister-in-law are getting along just fine." Adam finishes tying his shoes. He then reaches for the back of my thigh and pulls me in between his legs.

"Yeah, he's nice." I gulp my saliva.

"Great! So since I haven't really made time for my wife since we've arrived, would you like to do something babe?" He kisses the palm of my hand.

"Well, what is there to do here?" I question him.

"I honestly don't know. Hey wait! Do you want to go check out the ice skating we fixed up?" Adam beams out excitedly once the idea hits him.

"Sure." I squeeze his fingers softly in reassurance.

"Okay, let me just get my jacket then."

The ice skating rink is a few couple of yards away from the house so we decide to walk there.

Once we reach the rink, I notice the descent job they did on it. The ice is well fixed and all around on the trees, hangs colored Christmas lights. They really outdid themselves!

"Wow!" I whisper in amazement.

"You like it?" Adam walks over to a small bench and bends down to pick up something.

"Yes, it's so beautiful." I admire every little detail. Even the way the forest shines off on the ice.

"Just like you." I turn to him and watch him eyeing me intently. He carries two pairs of ice skates on either hand.

"Thank you Adam." I answer truthfully.

That's one of the things I love a lot about Adam. He isn't shy to tell me cute things. He knows me so well and knows the things I love.

"Wanna skate?" He brings the skates up to eye sight with a huge smile plastered from cheek to cheek.

"Oh, but I'm not that good babe." I chuckle and start whining at the same time.

"It's okay baby, I'll hold you." He hands me the smaller pair of skates. I give in and sit on the bench.

Once we both got them on, he walks into the rink first. Extending his arm out for me to hold on to, I giggle before reaching out and grabbing him tightly.

"Please don't let go of me Adam." I plea him as he holds both of my hands.

"I would never let you go Emma." He gently pulls me into his arms, and looks me deeply into the eyes.

He slowly leans in and kisses me softly. I wrap my arms around his neck, feeling much warmer.

We begin to skate close to edges so I can have not just him, but also the plastic that sits around the rink to hold on to.

He's so gentle and patient with me. I end up falling a few times when I try to skate on my own. After a while, I start to get the hang of it.

Then, my skating becomes a bit more of an average speed. Adam passes me at least three times while I make one turn.
