A Different Divergent: Everyday Love

52

Tobias and I are lazily lying on a large pile of floor pillows in the sunroom after making love again. We've had each other so many times and in so many different ways, I've lost track. Right now, he's on his back with his fingertips repeatedly threading through my tangled hair, and I'm on my tummy between his legs with my head resting on his stomach. My fingers are idly tracing his Dauntless flames tattoo. I should be absolutely exhausted from a lack of sleep and overexertion but instead, I'm feeling extremely content. We've laughed, talked, and loved for a few precious hours, just being lovers instead of Mommy and Daddy.

"Love?"

"Hhm?"

"What has you so far away?" he worriedly asks. "I've been talking to you for like five minutes and you're a million miles away. Are you still worried about the kids being at the Navy Pier without us?" I rest my chin on my folded hands and look up at my husband. The anxiety splayed across his face tightens my stomach and not in a good way.

"I'm sorry," I say. "I'm not any more worried about the kids than usual. I guess I was just thinking about how nice it's been today, just you and me here like this." His abs tighten beneath my lips when I give him a soft kiss just below his navel.

"It's been a great day, Mrs. Eaton," he says, his facial features softening and nothing but love radiates from his eyes. I lean into his palm when he cups my cheek and runs his thumb across my bottom lip. "I don't know what my favorite part was though, being inside you or just lying here with you like this, laughing and talking."

"I think it might be a tie, Mr. Eaton," I say, quickly turning and kissing his palm. "Although, this is quite nice. How often do we get the chance to laze around in the middle of the day with no clothes on?"

"We could become nudists." Mischief lights his bright eyes, and I can't help but laugh.

"Yeah, right. You'd be the one explaining to the kids why you are aroused all the time though."

"True," he says with a deep chuckle. "I get hard every time I see your sexy little naked body." A sexy growl falls off his lips.

"I'm not going to be little for very long," I scoff. "These babies only weigh a few ounces each, and I'm getting bigger by the day."

"And you'll still be the most beautiful woman in the compound," he says. "Hell, the city."

"You're such a charmer," I say. "You remember that when I'm as big as a barn, mister." He rolls his eyes and shakes his head.

"I remember you thinking you were huge when you were pregnant with Teagan," he says, shaking his head. "I thought you were incredibly sexy. I love when you're fit and lean but I also love when your body is swollen with new life. It doesn't matter what you look like, love. You are my Tris, and I will always find you sexy and irresistible."

"I don't know if I want to cry or jump you right now," I say.

"Jump away, my love," he says, a cocky grin spreading across his face.

"You are such a naughty boy," I say before we share a laugh. "We really needed this today, Tobias."

"Yeah, we did," he murmurs.

"Thank you for encouraging me go out last night. We needed that, too, and I had a wonderful time. We can't forget to finish that movie. I want to know what happens."
