Chapter 30-Flirting with my Husband (just revised)

Carina had moved back to their bed,  putting a pillow under her right hand to give it some support.  Dr. Malikov was right, it was starting to hurt like a bitch.  Dimitri walked into the room with a bottle of water and pain pills; she stretched her hand out as he offered a pill, popped it in her mouth and then gratefully accepted the water bottle. 

God the pills were huge and would probably knock her on her ass in about ten minutes.  Carina sighed and leaned her head back against the scrolled iron headboard and said "I'm sorry." She didn't know what else to say. 

"I'm the one that should be apologizing dorogaya" he said. Carina was shocked by this. He didn't make her beat her hand to a pulp. She pulled that jack wagon stunt herself.  

Carina shook her head and said "Di you don't have anything to apologize for. I knew I was fucking up my hands, I could feel it, but I didn't stop...I didn't want to. This is on me not you."  

In an unexpected move, he scooted over to her and laid his head on her thigh.  Carina reached for his hand and laid it on the other one.  She knew what to do next, what he needed and she needed it as well.  She slid her fingers into his hair;  God she loved the way it felt on her skin. Who knew hair could be a turn on?  Carina knew he loved how it made him feel, because he would always sigh and she felt his body relax against.

Carina woke up with the overwhelming need to pee, so she sat up and the entire room was spinning like a merry-go-round.  Starting to giggle,  she tried to find her way out of the bed and to the bathroom, but she was stoned.  Those pain pills were potent. 

"Shit" she giggled, not being able to tell where she was much less how to find the bathroom.  

All the noise woke Dimitri up as he sat straight up in bed and asked "Baby what are you doing?" 

She giggled again and said "Wow you are so hot!" He smirked guessing she was high as a kite. "I need to pee and I can't find the bathroom" she said grinning.  He got out of bed and came around to her side, picked her up bridal style and started towards the bathroom. 

"Damn" Carina said fondling his huge bicep "You are so built and tall too."  She was having a hard time holding up her head, so she let it fall onto his chest.  He smirked at her as they arrived to the bathroom. 

She wasn't wearing any panties, so that wouldn't be a concern.  Dimitri lifted the lid and gently sat her down and went around the corner like a gentleman and waited for her to finish.   Oh my, that felt so good  Carina thought to herself.  She was able to take care of business with her left hand and used her right elbow to flush with. 

"I'm done" she called out and was back in his arms in no time.  "Wait, wait I need to wash my hands" she said.  Dimitri sat her on the lavatory, turned the water on as she stuck her hand under the water while he squirted soap in it.  She rinsed, he dried and then he picked her back up and put her in bed. 

Carina laid her head on the pillow while he pulled the sheets and blanket up.  Carina yawned and said sleepily "You're my knight in shining armor" and drifted off.

She woke up with a horrible taste in her mouth and Dimitri's side of the bed was empty.  She sighed and stepped down out of bed and drug herself to the bathroom. "Wow you are so attractive" she murmured to the horror show staring back at her in the mirror. 

"Brush, brush, oh there you are" she said running it through her hair.  Next she brushed her teeth and then washed her face.  Deciding she couldn't get a bra on by herself, she would layer her tank shirts and slipped on silky black boxers that Ana had bought her last year for her birthday.  Finishing that task, she went down to the kitchen to find her husband. 

The smell of coffee hit her and she couldn't wait for a mug of that.  She could also hear voices, Marco and Dimitri for sure, and one she didn't recognize, but they were gone by the time she'd gotten into the kitchen. 

Dimitri got up smiling when he saw her, came around the bar and bestowed a kiss on her head. "How are you feeling this morning slugger?" his mouth twitching as she stuck her tongue out at him. 

"Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee" she mumbled trying to sound annoyed.

Carina had about half a cup of coffee when Dimitri asked her if she wanted a smoothie for breakfast.  She told him she thought that sounded good.   He smiled and started gathering everything to make it. 

They talked as he cut the fruit for the smoothie and it felt normal, like what normal couples do and it felt right. 

"Anything special you want to do today dorogoya?" he asked looking down at the task at hand.

"Yeah get naked with you all day" Carina mumbled thinking she'd said it where he didn't hear her, but the smirk she got from him she guessed he did. 

"Good God did I say that out loud?" She could feel my cheeks burning. 

"You kind of did" he said laughing and she tried to whither him with a look, but was not as effective with it as she'd hoped. 

"Well" Carina started, trying to take the focus off of what she'd just blurted out "What do you normally do around here on a Sunday?"  She didn't really know anything about her husband in that aspect and it made her feel kind of sad. 

He told her generally his men had Sunday's off and he just bummed around the house and relaxed before the work week.  She thought that sounded great and told him that's exactly what she wanted to do...after she had a bath that is. 

"I will bring this to you.  Why don't you go get the bath started and I'll be up in a minute" Dimitri said.  Carina nodded and said she would see him in a minute and headed to the bathroom.
