Stolen Kiss (Erotic Thriller)

Chapter 17

David moaned and rolled over onto his side, his hands searching for Natalie's warm body. The bed sheets tangled around his waist as he found her and buried his face into her hair. She whimpered peacefully in her sleep next to him, letting his body spoon her from behind.

It had been a long night for both. Exploration and reacquainting of each other's bodies, making passionate love by candlelight to the howling winds outside the window. He had the young woman shaking and trembling in desire, neither letting go until that desire was satiated.

When they were wrapped in each other's embrace, Natalie asked David about his stay in the hospital and events that followed. He told her every detail, save for the jail part, about the doctor's trying to find the right medication combo and therapy sessions each day, one on one and group.

Remember, Lexi's voice rang in his head, tell her what she wants to hear. Tell her you had therapy and could clearly see what you did was wrong. Tell her anything to get her to melt into your arms.

"Everything got to a point that just seemed...hopeless," he confessed through streams of tears. She listened with an open mind and felt, for the first time in years, the old David starting to come back to her and begged him to make love to her once more.

David let out a small breath and felt her shiver. He kissed her shoulder and shifted onto his back, the gentle tugging in his groin forcing him from the comfortable and warm blankets. Having no other clothes except for what he'd shown up in, David pulled on his jeans and padded from the bedroom.

He flicked the light on in the small bathroom, standing in front of the toilet and sighed at that wonderful feeling of release leaving his body. He offered up his thanks to every god, goddess, and deity that he could think of and some that he was sure were made up, for allowing the fates to cross their paths again.

Soon as I'm able, he thought to himself, I get rid of that little cunt and give my son the life he deserves. With Lexi's blessing, I have a second chance to raise my new son. Maybe my Mistress would allow me to keep Natalie's body to savor it, even for a couple days.

David washed his hands and gave his reflection a quick once over, noticing that even though he was exhausted, his blue eyes were bright and radiant. A tiny knock came at the door. He opened it, half expecting to see Natalie standing there smiling at him but instead was met with his teary son.

"Daddy..." Raiden cried and reached out his small hands.

David picked him up and hugged him to his chest. "Morning, Squirt...what's up?" He wiped away the crocodile tears as the boy shook his head.

"Big scary monsters...in there," and he pointed to his room and pouted.

"Let's go see where the big bad monsters are," David whispered, walking into the child's room and turning on the bedside lamp. He opened the closet door and peeked under the bed. "See? No monsters."

David laid Raiden back in his bed and tucked him in. "Daddy, can you stay?" Raiden asked, "I'm scared."

"I'll stay till all those monsters are gone. No one and nothing will hurt you...Daddy's promise." David crawled into the bed and curled Raiden to his bare chest with the child's teddy bear, listening to his soft sniffles and his hands wrapping around one of David's fingers.

"Haha that tickles!" Raiden giggled with his nose wiggling like a bunny, David's chest hair tickling him. "You smell like mama."

David kissed his nose. "I've been with your mama all night. Talking about you and her..."

"Did you kiiiiiisssssyyyy?" The child giggled quietly.

"A few kisses, yes," David replied, seeing so much of himself mirrored in this little soul.
