*Warning, this chapter will be VERY graphic. In other words, if you have a problem with reading the word dick a lot, DON'T READ*

I woke the next morning, feeling refreshed. Jerry and I had made love all night, five times to be exact. I stretched, allowing my muscles to rejoice from being tied up last night. The free range of motion of all my limps felt nice.

I looked around the bedroom, noting that Jerry wasn't in bed with me. I felt a pang of sadness that I was waking up alone. I had grown accustom to feeling him next to me first thing in the morning. Jerry was a cuddler, and I it's one thing I loved about him.

Most men don't like to cuddle, I've come to realize, but Jerry was different. I had asked him why he was so different one day. He responded with, "I like feeling a warm body next to me. And especially your warm body."

I had blushed at the time, but now that I find myself alone in his bed, it saddens me.

I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom connected to the bedroom. After doing my business, I went in search for Jerry. I went through every room of the house, and didn't find him. The sadness of waking up alone was growing with every step I took around the empty house.

Where is he? It wasn't like him to just leave and not tell me anything. Had something happened? Surely not.

Maybe he just went the the office or something. I decided to make a pot of coffee and wait for him. After turning the pot on, I grabbed my phone off the charger and texted Jerry asking where he was. I was expecting him to just text back, but instead his face appeared on my screen.

"Hello?" I said answering the phone.

"Hey Emily," He greeted formally. "I'm at the office. You're more then welcome to stay there and help yourself to anything in the cabinets. But don't touch the oatmeal cream pies, those are mine."

I had a feeling that someone was around him, which is why he called me Emily. 

"Okay, thank you. Do you know when you'll be back?" 

"About an hour or so. I just have to finish up this paperwork." He replied.

I could handle an hour by myself. "Okay, love you."

"You too." He said on the other end of the phone. I knew someone was around him now. He always said he loved me too.

"See ya." I said and hung up the phone. 

Great. Now what was I supposed to do until he gets back? The pot of coffee had finished brewing, so I poured a cup. I added the sugar, and creamer, and sat in the living room and spotted the morning paper. I had never been one to actually read it, but I was bored.

I didn't really know what I was reading until I saw my name. I gasped as I realized I was reading the arrests. Even my charges was listed! I threw the paper back on the coffee table and decided to just drink my coffee until Jerry got home.

Jerry's POV

I woke up with Emma snuggled up to my side tightly. I loved feeling her next to me all night, even if she does steal the blankets and the whole bed. 

After I got out of bed without waking her up, I went to the living room. I planned on staying at home all day and not doing anything but working on Emma case, but David had other plans.
