A Different Divergent: Everyday Love

Chapter 15

I wake up wrapped around Tobias like a victory flag feeling well rested, refreshed, and quite honestly more than a little sore. I lift my head and am surprised that the clock on his nightstand reads a little after noon. Well, I guess I'm not that surprised. He did have me up half the night coming ... hard. An impish smile turns up my lips thinking about being tied to the bed for hours. It was sexy, erotic, passionate, fun, and deliciously frustrating. I press my thighs together to alleviate the ache that builds as I reminisce about last night. We had a spectacular time, and I wouldn't change a single second.

I could lie here like this for hours staring at my handsome husband but my bladder feels like it's about ready to explode any second. I stretch my sore, tired muscles then unwrap myself from around Tobias being careful not to disturb him. I slide out of bed, desperate to take care of urgent business then hurry into the bathroom and relieve myself. I think about jumping into the shower but remember I have nowhere important to go, the kids are with Stella and Zander, and my sexy as hell husband is still lying in bed naked as the day he was born.

I quietly go back into our bedroom and stop dead in my tracks, my eyes nearly bugging out of my head. Tobias is lying in the middle of our bed flat on his back, one arm raised above his head with the other wrapped tightly around his hard length, slowly stroking his fist up and down. He's never looked as beautiful as he does right now. His handsome face is turned toward me, his eyes closed, his lips slightly parted, his breathing deep and steady. I wonder if he's even aware of what he's doing. I stand rooted in place, my eyes fixated on the erotic scene unfolding before me. I've never seen Tobias take his pleasure into his own hands before, and my body temperature raises substantially. When I swallow, my throat feels like sandpaper. He's turning me on something fierce, and I don't care how sore I am, I need him inside me right now. I unstick my feet and walk to the edge of our bed while my eyes caress every delectable inch of his hard body. I crawl up on the mattress being careful not to disturb him when his phone loudly vibrates on his nightstand. His eyes fly open and his hand stalls. He seems dazed. He looks around confused then rolls over and picks up his phone.

"Hello?" he mutters. "Stella, what's wrong?" The moment her name rolls off his lips the erotic atmosphere evaporates and worry replaces the desire coursing through my veins. Tobias sits up while he listens to our good friend then let's out a little chuckle. "How about we meet you as soon as we can ... Hey, don't beat yourself up. It's not your fault. Kids get hurt everyday ... Yeah, she's right here." Anxiety blooms in my chest as he holds his hand out to me. I take the phone wishing I knew what was going on. "Someone wants to talk to you."

"Hello?" I say as he gets out of bed and trudges toward the bathroom.

"Mama," Tessa cries into the phone and my heart hurts.

"What's wrong, little one?" I ask, wishing I was with her to take away her fear and kiss away her tears.

"I falled and I gots an ouchie. It huwt bad." A rustling sound comes through the phone, and she cries even louder. "I want my mama!"

"I know you do, sweetheart," I hear Zander say. "I know you do."

"Tessa, baby, listen to Mommy." I hear her sniffle through the earpiece, and I know she's listening. "I love you."

"I love you," she says, pitifully.

"Mommy and Daddy will be with you as soon as we can," I say. "Can you tell me what happened?" She starts in on her tale but between her racking sobs and incoherent rambling, I don't catch a quarter of it. "I'm so sorry that happened. Is Stella and Zander taking good care of you?"
