You And Me Against The World | ✅

Chapter 67

Yesterday, we arrived back home after two p.m. Tobias, who was carrying our luggage up until then, put the bags down, unlocked and opened the door and before I could step inside he lifted me in his arms and walked me over the threshold of our home.

"Welcome home, Mrs. Eaton," he said to me. I smiled and kissed him lovingly.

After we settled down I called Tori and invited her and Dwayne over for supper. I also called Christina to tell her we were back, but we wouldn't see each other until the next morning at breakfast in the cafeteria.

During our dinner date with Tori and Dwayne we explained to them what we had in mind regarding several problems we still had to solve. Both agreed to keep this between us and only meet and discuss a few particular sensitive topics here or at their home.

They soon left after we finished the work talk, allowing Tobias and me to enjoy the last few hours of our honeymoon before we would start work tomorrow morning. Tobias and I wanted to go to bed early and be as rested as possible for the week we had ahead of us, especially with the initiates, but, somehow, we couldn't manage to keep our hands to ourselves.

The next morning, we both woke up at six a.m. and decided to take separate showers. We both know that showering together almost always means hot, steamy sex that leaves us even sweatier than when we entered.

While Tobias is showering, I pick out my clothes and get dressed. I put on some comfortable dark gray pants and a black tank top and get into my combat boots when Tobias comes out, a towel around his middle. God, he looks sexy. I wish we had more time. I shake my head and walk past him into the bathroom to dry my hair while he is getting ready.

I decide to leave my engagement ring at home, since we will most likely have to show the initiates a few moves and I don't want to hurt them with it. Also, I don't want to damage the ring itself. I take it off and Tobias gives me a quizzical look.

"We talked about showing the initiates some fight moves. The stone would hurt them and also I don't want it to get damaged," I explain and his gaze softens.

"I almost thought you don't like wearing it anymore," he says with a chuckle, but I could hear his doubt, which hurts a little.

"Tobias, I love my engagement ring, not just because it's from you. You could have given me a plastic ring from a bottle and I would have still married you. I love you. But I really don't want it to hurt someone or get damaged. I'll put it back on when we are at home or the office."

"Maybe you should just leave it in your jewelry box until initiation is over. I mean we still have a long way to go until initiation is over and you are right, the stone might hurt them," Tobias agrees and I furrow my eyebrows which confuses him again. "What?"

"The hell I am. I love my ring. Once the physical part is over and the fear landscapes begin I'll flash that thing around like a trophy," I say slightly pouting. He looks at me for a moment and then laughs. He comes over to me and puts his hands on my hips pulling me close to him.

"I love you, Mrs. Eaton."

"I love you too, Mr. Eaton," I reply and we kiss for a little bit, but break apart from each other before we let it become impossible to do so.

We head downstairs to the cafeteria, since by now the initiates know the training schedule and the punishments for being late. We sit down at our regular table were all our friends already wait for us. We greet each other and talk about how wonderful it was to escape for a few days from this hectic life of ours. Of course, they all wanted some details and since both Tobias and I knew this would happen we decided to tell them a few things, leaving out the intimate ones of course. We tell them about the cabin and the pond, about Amity, about the surrounding area and how we ran into Robert. Tobias also tells them that we decided to go back there every year for our anniversary and later with our kids to vacation there. At the mention of kids all the girls "aw" and "oh" and look at me suggestively. I try to look away, suddenly embarrassed by them, but the guys seem to give Tobias the same look. He however grins like an idiot, somewhat confirming them that we are already in the process of making a baby. He might as well put up a sign that says "Four and Six trying for a baby". By thinking of babies, I notice Shauna and Zeke aren't here so I ask Christina.
