Danger and Tattoos

Get Your Friend Under Control

                 Vito's POV::

     I rock Esteban back and forth in my arms as he sleeps. He usually wakes up this early then falls asleep as if his body has an alarm close installed into his little body. The past three weeks have been something yo get used to but River and I are getting the hang of our new patenting lives. 
     I stand up from the rocking chair and lay him in the crib. I wait a minute or two to make sure he's peaceful before walking out. River lays close to the center of the bed, her face covering her face and the blanket hardly covering her body.
   I get back in bed, trying not to wake her. She moves closer to me, throwing her hand over my abdomen and resting her head on my chest. "I love you," she says, sounding half asleep. I hate that she's constantly tired and has a hard time sleeping. During the day I'm usually out making deliveries with Fin for Xander, so she's alone. If I could slow down, I would to help her. 
    "I love you too. Get back to sleep." She pulls her head back and looks at me with tired eyes. Just like last night and the night before, she's exhausted, but can't sleep. I want to help her relax in anyway I can.
    "Was he hungry?" I nod, rubbing her arm.
    "Yes, but I made him a bottle, there was no need to wake you," I tell her. She takes a deep breath. "I feel bad that your so stressed."
    "Its fine, it'll pass. Your new to my down spurts," she days with a chuckle. "With the anxiety and depression comes days at a time where I'll feel terrible. Right now its the anxiety. I should be taking the medication to help, but they make me so tired to the point where I literally can't stay awake and I need to so I can take care of Bon," she explains to me.
   I brush her hair out of the way. "I feel like an asshole for not helping as much. I'm truing as best as I can to be here and help." She smiles.  
     "I know you are," she says. "It'll pass and I'll get back to normal. Let's just be happy it's not the depression side of things." My mind goes to what that could you like and it scares me. "Can you do something for me?" She asks, her cheeks flaring up.
    "Anything, hermosa."
    "Kiss me." That's something we hardly do, there's no time for it. There also no time for hugging, or holding hands, or just spending time together as a family now due to my job. I crash my lips against hers, not bothering to be gentle. Her hands snake up to my hair, running her fingers through it.
    Our tongues battle against each others as our legs tangle with one another's. I move positions so I'm hovering over her. She's skinny, maybe too skinny now. I'm not blind to the fact that she hasn't been eating regularly, but I haven't gotten the change to bring it up; and right now isn't the time either.
    "I want you so bad," I say as as I brush my hard on against her. She moans, biting her lip. I start down her neck and jaw.
    "St-stop," she says, pushing at my shoulders. I prop myself up on my elbows. "We still have yo wait two more weeks until we can do anything." I roll off of her. "I'm sorry. I can always just pleasure you-"
    "No, I don't want that, that would be selfish of me," I say. Her eyes fill with tears. "You don't need to get me off, okay? I can wait until I can please you as well. Okay?" She nods, blinking back the tears. "I need words."
    "Okay," she sniffles. She starts to get out of bed and makes her way to the rest room. "Get your friend under control, Mister." 
    "How am I supposed to do that?" She tilts her head at me.
   "You have hand," she says. I laugh at her.
   "So your giving me permission to masturbate?" I ask. She shrugs.
   "I didn't think it was needed," she says. I cock a brow at her.
   "If I walked in on you masturbating I would feel useless and upset," I say. She crosses her arms. "Have you touched yourself before without my permission?"
     "I'm just gonna say no."
