Protection

Chapter 19: Bed

Jen's Pov:

Ainsley's doctors wanted to observe her over night and they wouldn't let me stay. I begged and begged but since I'm not her legal mother I don't have all my normal rights. I immediately called the social worker and asked if we could speed up the process of adoption. Unfortunately nothing could be done, so I swallow my tears and help drive Kyle home. Lorelei carries Eli into the house and I help Kyle. He leans on me for support since his head and shoulder are killing him. He is wearing a sling to support his arm and has medication to help with his concussion. I open the door to help him in the house, walk him towards his bedroom, and help him sit on the bed. Lorelei comes in the room and places Eli in the crib, she heads off to bed since it's pretty late. I go over to Eli's crib and pick him up

"He's getting bigger" I say to Kyle

"I know, he's 1 month old today actually"

"Wow, you know that means I met you only a month ago"

"Feels like a lifetime"

I smile softly "yeah, it kind of does"

I place Eli on the changing table and get him ready for bed.

"You're so good with him" Kyle says to me with a drugged smile

"He's just a baby" I chuckle at him

"Hey, it's difficult to take care of an infant"

"I know I just mean, well I guess I've just been around a lot of babies"

After Eli is safe in his crib I go over to Kyle on the bed

"Want me to change you out of your jeans and into something comfortable?" I ask

"Would you mind" he asks tentatively

"Of course, it's not like I haven't seen you naked" I smirk

He chuckles at me as I slide the pants off his legs. I grab some sweatpants from his drawer and slide them on. I help him take off his t-shirt since the bandages are rubbing against it. He gets comfortable under the covers of his bed.

"Are you going to join me?" He asks

"Are you sure that's a good idea?"

"You said it yourself, we've already had sex."

"I know but we've had lusty quick sex, not" I stumble over my words "um slow passionate sleep in bed together sex"

"It wasn't passionate?"

"No no it was I just" I blush

He laughs at me "I know what you mean, and I want you to come to bed with me, but you must change"

"What?" I ask

"You are in jeans and a blouse, no way are you sleeping in that"

"You're injured, we are not having sex so I'm not sleeping naked" I roll my eyes

"I meant put on some of my sweatpants and a tshirt"

I blush a little "okay, but don't look"

He dramatically pulls the covers over his head and I laugh. I change quickly and climb into bed next to him. I snuggle into his side with his good arm. He plants a kiss on my head

"You know it's still possible"

I look at him confused "what?"

"To have sex, everything downstairs works fine. Plus orgasms help with headaches"

I laugh at him "did you google that"

"No but well maybe"

I rub my hand over his naked chest through his little amounts of chest hair, admiring his slightly toned chest and abs. I realize I have been staring at him for a long time
