Tale as Old as Time

Chapter 12

Things were weird for a while. Chris was quite lost. Now it was me who had work and he was just drifting in mourning. He kept randomly forgetting that East wasn't there anymore. He'd get up and automatically go to let him out. Or he'd get ready for his run and go to grab his lead. It was breaking my heart.

I did my best to help him move on. I took him out to the woods with me when I needed to go. Sometimes it helped. Sometimes it made it worse. We'd visit his family a lot. That did help. He really did like being home and around them.

He had a project coming up at the end of the year. He was going to direct his first film and that drew almost all his attention. He was nervous and excited. He would go see people about casting and location scouting. It took him in and out of town a bit. He also had a bit of press and charity work he was doing.

In general, though he was quite lost. Losing East on top of everything else this year hit him hard so it was nice when he had moments where he was happy. One day he came home from one trip to New York with a present for me.

"You can wear it while I fuck you. It will vibrate against your clit and my dick. Plus it should get your g-spot too." He explained excitedly as I pulled the toy out of the box. It was small, purple and 'U' shaped with two ridged bulbous ends. It came with this big white charging station too. "But you know what's really awesome about it?"

I looked up at him eyebrows raised. That already sounded pretty awesome. "No, what?"

He smirked. "Apparently it's small enough to just wear around, and it has an app."

I pushed him. "You dirty boy."

Chris started laughing. "Oh, I will be. Can you imagine? I'm out of town. You have it in here. I just randomly switch it on."

I squirmed a little thinking about it. "Fuck. I'm wet just thinking about it."

"Really?" He asked. He got up and walked behind the chair and just stuck his hands straight into my shorts, stroking his fingers over my pussy.

"Chris!" I yelped and elbowed him in the chest.

He grabbed my elbows and pulled them together behind my back and kissed me. "We should give it a try." He said pulling back.

"It needs to charge first," I said, looking up at him.

"So go charge it, dummy. I'll make us some lunch."

I laughed and flicked his bicep. I headed down to the bedroom and gave the toy a clean before setting it to charge. When I got back Chris had made these elaborate Subs and taken the cap off two beers.

"How was the trip? Just spend it sex toy shopping?" I asked sitting down in Chris' lap.

He wrapped his arm around me and took a drink of beer. "Yeah, it was good. We put in some paperwork so we could block off some locations. I did a read through with Alice and spoke to the screenwriter about things that weren't working."

"You're loving this aren't you?" I said, kissing his jaw.

He took a massive bite of sandwich and nodded. "I mean, I know it's never gonna win an Oscar, but I really love the control. I don't think I bit off more than I can chew."

I burst out laughing not sure which thing I found more funny. The 'I like to be in control' or the saying he didn't bite of off more than he can chew with a mouth full of sandwich.

"What's so funny?" He asked, looking a little worried.

"You like to be in control? I had no idea!" I teased.

He pinched my thigh and threw his head back laughing. "Smart ass." He said. I snuggled down against him. It was nice seeing him really happy. The moments were there, but this year had been so shitty, that I liked appreciating them when it was genuine and not just us drifting along.
