I couldn't even begin to describe how falling asleep with those arms around me felt. God, I missed him and the feeling of security he provided. Who was I kidding, I could never end our marriage.
I woke up and glanced out the window, relieved to see that it was still dark outside. Moving quietly out of bed, I made my way to the bathroom. I sighed at the soreness I was already feeling. Sex with Jared could sometimes be considered a workout. I giggled to myself at how the muscles in my legs ached a little.
Two minutes later I was crawling back under the warm comforter to snuggle next to my man. Tossing and turning, I struggled to get comfortable, but soon dozed off. I felt him moving over me once again. "Kristen" he whispered, his warm tongue slithered along my neck as his cool fingers slid up the inside of my thigh. I moaned at the feeling of him pushing my legs apart. "Mmmm, more?"
My eyes opened when I felt him sliding back inside of me and I was shocked that he was coming back for a second round. He was even more gentle and slow this time. I forgot just how sweet and considerate he could be in bed. He made sure to get me off before giving in to his own orgasm. "I love you," he whispered, spilling into me.
He settled on his stomach with one of his legs lying over mine and fell back asleep pretty fast. A few hours later I woke up, stretching my body out, only to find that I was all alone in bed. I peeked over at the alarm clock to find that it was almost nine. The door was cracked and I could hear Emily talking from downstairs.
Climbing out of bed, I walked across the room, grabbing Jared's robe and pulling it around me. The tenderness between my legs reminded me of the two rounds of hot sex I had with my husband in the early morning hours. Glancing at myself in the mirror, it obviously suited me, I was glowing.
I pranced down to the kitchen to see him fully dressed and unloading the dishwasher. "Good morning beautiful." He said cheerfully with a huge grin on his face.
"Good morning yourself, handsome. Has she eaten?" I asked, unable to wipe the huge smile from my face. Emily was also dressed like she was going out.
"She has, and I'm taking her with me to see uncle Shannon. We won't be too long." He informed me while unloading the last of the dishes. I felt so good, not just physically, but emotionally, and I never wanted it to end. I was drunk on love.
"Okay, I have nothing to do since you're doing everything!" I tried to sound genuinely sorry, but I wasn't. I was thoroughly enjoying being treated like a princess.
I poured myself a cup of coffee and bit my bottom lip when he moved behind me, sliding his arms around me. "Good. Let me do everything while I'm here." He purred into my ear. "Time is getting short and I'll be gone for months at a time. You'll miss me when I'm gone." He said, kissing my neck and smacking my ass.
"I definitely will." I turned around to look at him and then over at Emily. She was busy playing with some toys on the floor. He was being so sweet and I leaned back, just watching him.
"We'll see you in a few hours mommy. Em, you ready?" He asked, grabbing his keys and waiting for her to stand up and take his hand.
I sat on the couch, scrolling through my messages and drinking my coffee. I loved the latest gossip accompanying photos of Jared carrying Em. 'Divorce is imminent.' I sent the link to Jared with a message.
'Not according to last night's events.'
He shot right back with one of his own. 'You mean this morning? 2x's. Don't tell me that you forgot already.'
I laughed and sent another. 'Well, you could always remind me tonight'
'Be careful what you ask for.'
I was so fucking giddy and confident that nothing could wipe the smile from my face today. I raced up the stairs and turned on the water in the shower. If I could only hold a tune, I'd have been singing in the shower.
After a few hours of relaxing free time, I picked up the phone to call Ashley. She and I made plans to get together later and I was still on the phone when Jared walked in with Emily. We chatted for a few more minutes and I ended the call. "Hey. How was your visit?" I asked with the biggest grin on my face.
"You had a good time, right Em?"
My daughter lay across my lap, rubbing her eyes. "I think she's a little tired, she was falling asleep in the truck."
"So, Ash wanted to know if we wanted to maybe go out with her and James for a while tonight." I was hoping that he would be interested in a date night. If the past week was any indication of how things were going to be, I didn't mind moving forward.
He sat down and yawned. "Are you okay with us being together in public again?"
"I'm totally fine with it, even though divorce is imminent." I chuckled. "I mean that night you dragged me out of the club when I was with Matt, they saw us getting into your truck together. What difference does it make?" The truth was, in a way I did care if we were seen together, because if he fucked up again, I'd look like an idiot, again, but if we were moving on...
"Yeah, I think we could use a night out." He agreed, rubbing the hair out of our daughters sleepy eyes. "I'll call mom and ask her to keep Emily tonight." He pulled the phone from his pocket and padded into the kitchen.
A few hours later we arrived at the club, once again having photos snapped as we made our way inside. He took my hand and led the way, waving to the paparazzi on the way in.
