A Different Divergent: Everyday Love

Chapter 37

Soft, distant murmuring pulls me from a deep, refreshing slumber. I pry my heavy eyelids open as I stretch my arms up over my head and yawn big. When my eyes focus, I see that Tobias has pulled the light sheet and blanket off us and has my cami pushed up just under my breasts, exposing the skin of my tummy.

"Whatcha doin'?" I mumble, running my fingers through his unruly tresses. After a soft kiss just below my navel, he crawls up my body.

"Good morning, love," he says as places a tender kiss on my lips. "I was just having a conversation with Button and Bean."

"I remember when you used to do that with Teags," I say, caressing his cheek. "That's probably why she's such a Daddy's girl."

"You're probably right," he says with a chuckle. After another chaste kiss, he shifts so that he's lying beside me with his large hand splayed across my belly. "You have a little bump."

"I do?" I excitedly move my hand to join his and he's right. It's slight but there's definitely a protrusion there. "You do realize I'm going to be as big as a barn, right?"

"And you'll still be the most gorgeous woman I know, and I'll worship your body everyday like the temple it is," he murmurs against my ear, making me shudder.

"Oh, baby, you always know what to say to make me feel better. I love you, Tobias."

"I love you, too, Tris," he says as he rolls over on top of me. His mouth meets mine in a fiery, soul-stealing kiss. I immediately thread my fingers into his hair, pulling him close. He slides one hand up under my cami and covers a breast, pebbling the nipple with just the flick of his thumb as his other hand moves lower to cup my bottom. I wrap my legs around his waist as he grinds his erection into me, causing a flood of moisture to my core.

"God, I want you," I murmur against his lips. He lowers his hands to the hem of my camisole and starts to lift it off my body when movement off to my left makes us freeze. Tessa's standing in the doorway to the nursery, wide eyed.

"Pebbles, how did you get out of your crib?" Tobias asks, his voice gruff with need.

"I got out," she says matter-of-factly. I definitely made the right choice to go shopping with her later today. She needs out of the nursery and in her own room yesterday. "Mama, I gotsta potty." I notice she's dancing from one foot to the other.

"Well, you better go," I say. "I'll meet you in just a minute to help." She turns and runs toward the bathroom.

"Two more minutes and she would have seen things no child should ever see," he says as he relaxes on top of me. God, I still love the feel of his full weight on me after all this time.

"I know," I say, kissing his neck. "By the look on her face, she saw more than she should anyway. I need to get up, baby."

"Of course," he says. He rolls off me and just lies there.

"I'm frustrated, too," I say, looking down at his tented sleep pants. I can't help myself. I graze my palm along his length then squeeze gently. He groans.

"You're mean, Mrs. Eaton," he gruffly says.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Eaton," I say. "We'll just have to wait until tonight."

"Go help Pebbles before she comes back in here," he says then he laughs. "Who knew we needed to close the nursery door?" I giggle as I climb out of bed and make my way into the bathroom.

"Hi, Mama," Tessa says. She's sitting on the potty chair without a stitch of clothing on.

"I see you managed to make it to the potty without an accident," I say as I put her PJs in the hamper. "Did you climb out of your crib?"
