Delectable Benefits

Five

A month had passed and Nick was sure Anya didn't love him. She avoided him like the plague when they were alone and would closet herself in her office after tucking Their daughter to bed. Date night was always at home where Nicolette was around. Sleeping with her during Wednesdays was terrible, it felt as though he was sleeping next to a stranger. She didn't talk to him and didn't even look at him. However, when the woman was in deep sleep and her defenses were down, she would search for him. Her whimpers would disappear and her shivering would stop. She then would whisper his name and would kiss his chest from time to time. One time she kissed him on the lips and Nick quickly responded. Immediately the kiss turned hot and they were both on fire. He ended the kiss knowing he would soon be breaking one of the rules of their agreement by making hot love to her.

Anya tried her best to show Nick having him close didn't affect her too much. It was downright difficult having to stay away from him. She was afraid he would see and feel she had broken one of the rules already and would make things between them awkward and complicated. She looked at the calendar and realized it was a Wednesday. She had to sleep next to him and they were having another date night. She groaned, she knew her body wanted to be close to him. Well, she did want to be close to him. But the man didn't belong to him.

"Mom, Sheila's inviting me for a sleep over. She says she has this new game and she wants us to try it out. Please?" Nicolette asked that morning.

Anya looked at Pam and Paul. It was a wonder why the family was with them for breakfast that morning. Then she remembered their central air conditioning unit broke down. Lucas was also with them for breakfast making Nick unusually quiet.

"Ask your father, honey," Anya said.

Nick lowered the paper he was reading and glanced at his wife who was currently giving him his second cup of coffee. "It depends their house has been repaired, otherwise you're sleeping over here."

"Good, we're occupying the guest room so Nick will have to move into your room and the girls will share a room. Otherwise I will be bunking with you and Nick with Paul. Hey, I'm pregnant again so perhaps you and Nick can get pregnant too again."

Her eyes widened and looked at her friend as though she had lost her mind. "I'll get the air conditioning repaired before the afternoon," Lucas spoke and got up and left the house.

"Well you two are still sleeping together tonight. Where are you two going for your date?"

"Somewhere not here," Nick said, his mood had changed and placed the paper on the table and ate his breakfast.

Pam raised her brow, "You intending to bring her home tomorrow?"

Nick looked at his wife, she was seated next to him and was looking at him as though he had lost his mind. "Of course, Nicolette needs me," Nick said with a smile.

"Nick," Anya said with a frown.

Nick glanced wt her as though he was seeing her for the first time that day. "Oh, and her mother too, we can't forget that."

"Mommy! You forgot to call daddy his name!" Nicolette gasped.

"Nick?" Anya said feigning innocence.

"No! Not that, you're supposed to call him -"

"Love, honey, sweetheart or daddy," Nick interrupted his daughter and took a sip of his coffee. He winked at his wife and wiggled a brow at her with a killer smile that showed a dimple on his cheek.

Anya blinked, "So what's the penalty?" She asked trying not to look at her teasing husband.

"You have to kiss me," Nick said smugly.
