When the day met the night

36

Four weeks had flown by in the blink of an eye. We were both exhausted, who could have imagined a tiny little thing could cause so much trouble! It was late afternoon she was finally asleep, so we lay on the bed, enjoying the peace and quiet. I was wrapped in Jared's arms "I'm so tired" he said laughing softly, kissing the top of my head. "She's a demanding little thing isn't she?" but he was smiling widely. "Yeah just like her father" I grinned, "you liar, I am not, I seem to remember you being very demanding!" he said straight faced, I opened my mouth to object, but he silenced me with a kiss. "I'm going to go catch up on some work" he said letting me go, I nodded. He had been so wonderful, he was constantly helping me, and trying to field phone calls and emails, I knew he was tired and I felt terrible. I sat up kneeling at the side of the bed, "are you going to go?" I said quietly, he turned to look at me confused, "I'll just be downstairs" I shook my head, "No I mean are you going to go home, do you need to go home? If you need to go, it's okay" I said, I hated even saying it, the thought of him leaving was like a knife to the heart. He stood there running his hand through his hair, "I'm going to have to leave soon, there are things I can't do here, we have shows booked in a month so I'm cutting it fine, but it's Europe so I'll be back for those and luckily, it's a short flight from everywhere, so I can come and go in a few hours and then it will be Christmas and we have a few months break after that" he said, I forced a smile. "Well that's okay then, I'll see you in a few weeks, we will be fine", I said with a conviction I didn't feel, but I couldn't keep him here when I knew he had commitments. "I don't want to leave" he came back to the bed and he pulled me into his arms, my arms wrapped around his neck "I don't want you to leave either, but we knew this would happen, it's okay it won't be for long", I was proud of myself for being able to even speak. My words were definitely not what I was feeling. But I needed him to be able to leave without worrying about us. I put my head on his chest, he held me close and gently trailed his fingers up and down my back. In the silence we heard a little grunt then a cry, both of us sighed, "it's okay I'll get her" he let me go and picked her up from the cot in the corner of the room. "What's wrong Bluebell, why are you crying again?" he said softly kissing her cheeks, she scrunched up her nose, his beard tickling her no doubt. She stopped crying immediately and her eyes opened as he held her against his chest. "Nothing hey? you just want a cuddle, okay we can do that" he said slowly rocking her. I sat on the bed watching him, he was totally in besotted with her. He came over and sat up next to me "she just wants attention" he said rolling his eyes, but the smile he gave me was blinding. "Don't you just love her to bits?" I said sighing, he nodded kissing her forehead gently. "She's the most beautiful little thing in the world, I'm so in love with her" he said smiling at me. "Aren't you glad I threw your pills away?" he said in a whisper, I barely heard it, "what did you just say?" I said, my suspicions finally confirmed, although if I was honest I knew all along. He looked sheepish, "I'm sorry, but how can you be mad? Look at this little angel" he said putting her down between us on the bed, finally looking at me, waiting for my reaction. "I knew it, you sneaky bastard" I shook my head suppressing a smile, he was right, I couldn't be mad at him, not now. He suddenly smiled, that smile that lit up the entire room, I looked at him and my heart started pounding, that dumbstruck look no doubt crossing my face. "What is it?" he said, I was snapped out of my gaze, "oh nothing, I was just, nothing" I said in a stutter. "You gave me that same look when I kissed you that night at the show" he smirked, kissing the baby's head. "What? What look?" I said. "That look of total surprise, you were so shocked, but you liked it" he had a huge smirk on his face. I felt my face go bright red and I couldn't contain my smile, I leant over and kissed him, "that's because you drive me crazy, you're so God damn beautiful my brain forgets to think and all I can do is to gawk at you" I said groaning. He had a very satisfied look on his face, the baby had fallen asleep again, he got up slowly and put her gently down in the cot and came back to the bed. He stretched out next to me his hand stroking my face, he whispered softly, "interesting... just so you know, as soon as you looked at me with those big green eyes, all standoffish trying to ignore me, I got the biggest hard on, I wanted to drag you out of that room and fuck you right then and there!" I gasped my mouth opening in surprise! "Yeah you did that too, after I kissed you and I thought, those lips are so plump and perfect I wonder what it would feel like if she was down on her knees....!" he smiled wickedly, I gasped again, pushing him away playfully. He lay back, laughter still rumbling in his chest. I sat up and looked over him, "Well, we may not be able to do anything yet, but that doesn't mean I can't do anything to you" I whispered. He looked at me hungrily, "that wouldn't be very fair" he said running a finger down my cheek, I leant in kissing him softly. "Don't worry, I know you'll make it up to me" I whispered against his lips. I pulled him by the hand leading him into the bathroom. He was soon groaning softly, I was on my knees with his hands buried in my hair gripping it tightly. Even though I was still not quite ready to be with him, I still felt the stirring in the pit of my stomach as I always did when I was with him. I felt his body start to tense, his hands tightening their grip on my hair even more and I could feel his orgasm as it hit him. He gave one last thrust, as his warm cum poured down my throat. I let him come down from the high, feeling him shudder and then gently slide out of my mouth. I stood up and his breathing started to slow back to normal. "I can't wait until I get back, I'm going to screw your brains out, every spare minute we have" he murmured grinning. "I'm holding you to that" I said with a soft groan. He pulled me against his chest and we stood there, he held me tight as if he never wanted to let go. "I miss you already" I whispered. "Same baby, I'm already counting the minutes til I come back" he murmured. We went and lay back on the bed, wrapped in each other's arms, clinging to our last few moments in our bubble. The world was about to intrude, we knew that, but right now, everything was shut out but the three of us.
