A Greek Odyssey - Jason Fic

CHAPTER 146

Lexi lay curled up in bed next to Jason. Her head rested on his chest and her arm wound around his waist. Every now and then she lifted her head slightly, holding her curtain of hair to one side to kiss his chest or run her hands over it, in an almost proprietary manner. Even now, nearly a year after meeting she still sometimes couldn't quite believe that Jason was her husband, her lover and her soul-mate.

Jason cast his eyes sleepily down at her as she looked upwards at him and kissed his neck. They had  spent a pleasant morning after breakfast, walking along the river in Bedford and then stopping for lunch, before heading back to the hotel on the pre-text of having a nap, as Lexi said she felt tired.

Once they had got back to the room, Jason had been surprised that no sooner was the door closed than Lexi had immediately started tearing his clothes off his body - not that he was complaining. They hadn't even made it to the bed, because Lexi had shoved him on his back on the floor, yanked her knickers off and they'd fucked fast and furious, her still fully dressed apart from her underwear, like they hadn't seen each other for weeks. Jason had been somewhat shocked and surprised at the stream of expletives she'd yelled throatily, as she came with a mind-blowing intensity almost immediately, as soon as she straddled him. He'd never seen her quite like that before and he had to admit he'd found it a turn-on to say the least.

'You ok?' he asked her, his fingertips tracing lazy circles on her shoulder as she started nibbling at his earlobe. Much as he loved sex with Lexi and was up for it most of the time, he was knackered now. He really could do with a nap he realised, yawning widely.

'Um yeah..' Lexi replied. 'I'm sorry I swore at you. I got a bit carried away didn't I? Leaping on you like that,' she smiled shyly at him, feeling slightly embarassed at her wanton behaviour.

'You did give me a surprise Lex. You don't swear very often and for a moment I wondered if I was shagging an Irish Navvie,' he laughed quietly and kissed her on the forehead.

'Sorry, I don't know what's got into me Jase.'

'That'll be the hormones luv. Trust me, I'm happy to oblige but you're gonna kill me if you keep jumping on me like that,' he cuddled her tighter to him and yawned again. 'So, when's Bean's next scan?' he asked, changing the subject rapidly before she became carried away and tried to leap on him again for yet more sex.

'A week on Wednesday. Will you be able to make it? I made it for first thing in the morning.'

'Course I will. I warned the lads it was coming up soon and they're fine with it. After all, Markie's in the same situation. Katrina's just a few weeks further along, that's all.'

'Oh, that's good. I would've taken mum or Freya if you couldn't come. But you know, I'd rather have you there.' She paused for a moment, feeling the now familiar fluttering deep inside her stomach as she instinctively moved her hand down to her stomach.

'Is he moving?' Jason's hand shot out, sliding quickly down to her stomach. Lexi nodded and took hold of his hand, pressing his palm and the heel of his hand firmly onto her stomach.

'Do you feel him?' she asked, her eyebrows raised in vain hope that he could. 'There. That's him. Can you feel?'

Jason sucked his bottom lip in, closed his eyes and kept his hand firmly on her stomach. Eventually giving up and shaking his head. 'Nope. Nothing.' he replied, looking disappointed.

'Well... it's early days Jase. I am only nineteen and a half weeks. I reckon it'll be another couple of weeks until you can feel anything.

Jason gave her a small smile. 'Yeah, I s'pose so. I'm just being impatient, that's all.'
