The Family Man

Chapter 21

"Ethan to move really hurts." I yelled at him. He woke me up when he heard Emily crying. He carried her in the room and woke me, my hip felt like it was broken it hurts a lot. I slowly sat up in the bed groaning at the pain in my hip all my bodily muscles ached. He gave Emily to me and I fed her. He wanted us to go out and buy things.

"I know it hurts, but I really want us to go." He adjusted my towel around his waist.

"What are we going to buy?" I asked.

"A dress we have a charity party to attend." He took Emily from me and stared at my bare breast. "Please cover yourself you're giving me a boner." He looked down at himself.

"You pervert." I attempted to throw a pillow at him, but my arms hurt too much.

"I'll be back." He said in a deep Terminator voice. He walked out of the room with Emily and I heard the faucet in the bathroom turn on. He's filling the tub. He came back in the room and stalked over to me like a prey. "Belle I know it hurts, if it wasn't important I wouldn't bother going but it is." He knelt down beside me and held my hand. This is important to him I have to go.

"Fine I'll go." My voice was soft. He smiles; I'll do anything for him and that smile. I remove the covers and he holds my hand.

"Let me carry you." He swooped me up and I locked my hands around his neck. He carried me to the bathroom; the tub was filled with warm water. He sets me down in it and it stings between my legs but the water was soothing.

"How do your muscles feel now?" He knelt beside the tub.

"They don't feel that sore anymore."

"Hot water helps with soreness. How about we lay off the mind blowing sex until you feel better?" He had his fingers making small waves in the water. He wasn't wrong I loved the sex but it left me in unbelievable pain.

"Okay." I held his hand why isn't he in the tub with me. "Are you coming in the tub?" I asked.

"No."

"Why?" I asked puzzled.

"If I get in the tub with you we wouldn't leave and you would be in more pain and I hate seeing you in pain." He sighed.

"Alright." I sad disappointed with his answer. He held my chin up and rubbed my face.

"Don't look disappointed Belle; I am concerned about your well-being." He's just looking out for me. He was thinking about me. The water was warm and it loosened my muscles I felt better.

"Okay, how about you go and get Emily's bag ready." I smiled.

"Alright." He brushed his hand on my thigh and got up. He walked through door. I sank deeper in the water letting it cover my face. I swam in high school I could hold my breath for 30 seconds. I drummed my finger on the side of the tub and listened to the sound. 24, 25, 26, I can't hold it any longer and I lift my head to the surface and was hit by a breath of fresh air.

"I was wondering how long you could hold your breath." He said sitting on the toilet.

"What are you doing?" I asked suspiciously.

"Using the toilet obviously." He said.

"You're so gross." I rolled my eyes at him.

"It's a natural thing." He sucked his teeth.

"There are like six other bathrooms in this house."

"I like being near you." He smiled. He is just different.
