Changes (Book 3)

Chapter 43

---Mindy

A year after the disastrous camping trip, I was working night shifts as a nurse and had a three day weekend.  I got home from work and Hunter was being as ornery as ever with his daddy.  I took off my coat and set my keys on the table.  "Hunter James, what are you doing?"

"MAMA!"  he ran toward me in only his diaper.  I picked him up.

"Are you giving daddy a hard time?"

"No."  he said.  He was learning words quicker than I thought he would.

"Yes."  Trent said.

"Let daddy help you with your jammies okay?"

"Okay."  I set him down and he ran to his daddy.  Trent picked him up.

"There's dinner in the oven.  Still hot."  Trent said.  "I'll be right back."  he gave me a soft kiss on the cheek.

"Okay.  Hunter you behave."

"Yes."  he said.  I went into the kitchen washing my hands before dinner.  I leaned my head back against his shoulder as he kissed my neck and shoulder.

"I miss you so much when you're gone."  Trent said.

"I'm trying to get my shift changed."  I said turning to him, he kissed me gently pressing me into the fridge.  I pulled away from the kiss minutes later.  "I need to eat."  I said.

"All right."  he said.  "I'm going to let Lucky out for a short time."

"What'd you make for dinner?"  I asked.

"Homemade pizza with homemade bread sticks."

"Yum."  His hands slid down my back and over my sides.

"Enjoy."

I finished eating, went upstairs, and grabbed my pajamas.  Trent closed the door.  I turned around.  "You won't be needing those."  He said.

"I have things to take care of Mr. James."

"So do I."  he said.

"Like what?"

>>>>A little bit of heat<<<<

"I can show you better than I can tell you."  he said.  I laughed.

"I need to take a shower."  I said.

"So do I."  he slid his belt out of his pants dropping it on the floor.  He tilted my head up with his hands kissing me urgently.  I unbuttoned his work shirt and pulled it free from his pants.  I slid it down his arms.  He tossed it aside and tugged my scrub top off revealing my tank top.

My cell phone rang in my pocket.  Trent sat on the bed and pulled me into his lap.  I answered it.  "Hello?"  Trent's lips traveled passed my neck.  I pushed him onto the bed, he pulled me with pinning me under him.

"Mindy, it's Janice."

"Hi Janice."  Trent gave a low growl.

"Can you come back in?"

"No I can't.  Hunter and Trent are sick.  Trent is more contagious and doesn't want to get Hunter sick so I have to take care of them."

"I need the help."

"I'm needed here.  I have a three day weekend.  Find someone else."

"I'll be reporting you."  she said.  "I know they aren't sick."
