One Week Away

Chapter 3

While Christian was changing, I decided to call and check in with Mitchell. 

"Hey baby how are things at home?" "They are good. Nelly is keeping me good company while you are away" he replies. Nelly is our six-month-old pit bull puppy. "Good I miss that little cutie pie." "We both miss you here". "I know I miss you too. Only 5 more days and I will be home!" "We can't wait!" Before I could reply I hear Mitchell say "Hey honey I have to go. Work is calling my name. I love you." "Love you too" I replied as he hung up. 

Work seemed to be calling his name a lot lately. We haven't spent much time together that wasn't interrupted by work. Sometimes I think he uses it as an excuse to ignore the problems in our relationship. And sometimes I think I let him.

"Was that Mitchell?" I jumped as I didn't realize that Christian had re-entered the room. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." 

I laughed "Yes that was Mitchell. He could only talk for a minute. You know work stuff." 

Christian grabbed my hand. "You know I am here if you ever need to talk." 

I put my hand on top of his. "I know. Thank you." Christian didn't push the subject. He went and sat on his bed and put on his tennis shoes. I got off the bed and walked into the bathroom. I quickly change and we go downstairs to meet the rest of the group.

Kristy quickly comes running over to Christian and I in her barely there hiking outfit. I guess she doesn't care that this is a work outing. "Hey guys. Christian I was hoping you could escort me up the mountain!" "We are all going as a group Kristy" he replies. "I know but you should stay close to me in case I trip or something" she replies with a wink. He looks at me and rolls his eyes. Kristy has been trying to get him alone since we got here, and he has denied all her advances.

"You know you can go with her if you want to. There are plenty of people here to keep me company." I said to him.

"I know but I don't want to. I would rather be here with you." He responds.

I smile and we walk out with the rest of our co-workers to get started on the hike.

After what feels like hours. It was only one. We make it to the top of the small mountain where our boss has planned listening and talking exercises. He tells us to partner up and before I can speak Kristy runs over and grabs Christian's arm. "You can be my partner Christian" as she glares at me. I smile and grab Kyle's arm while staring into her eyes. "Well Kyle would you like to be my partner?" Kyle responds with a smirk "Yes Adrianna, I would love to be your partner." Kyle was also attractive with his athletic build, dark hair and big brown eyes. Him and Kristy had a brief office romance a few years ago and I don't think she ever quite got over it.

We spend the next couple of hours trading partners and practicing the exercises with one another. I finally have made my way back to Christian for the last partner switch. "Took you long enough to get back to me" he says. "Well I hate that I kept you waiting" "You can make it up to me later with dessert." I smile. "Okay I can do that."

The group exercise wraps up and we make our way back down the mountain. Lucky for us our boss has arranged a shuttle so we don't have to walk back. I was thankful seeing as I was already sweaty enough. Christian hopped into the shower first to start getting ready for dinner. When he finished it was my turn. I entered the bathroom and showered the sweat and grime from today away. Still in my towel I started blow drying my hair and putting on makeup.

I hear Christian call out "Do you have any Advil?" "Yes, in my top drawer" I responded without thinking. Shit!! I put my brush down and try to quickly run into the room to get the Advil for him. Too late! He stood there smirking as he looked up at me and back down at the open drawer revealing my vibrator. I instantly blushed and went over to shut the drawer. 

I turned to look at him "Don't look at me like that. I thought I would be alone this week." "You couldn't wait one week for your husband?" He responded. A hint of sadness flashed in my eyes. I had hoped he didn't notice but he did. "Adrianna what is it?" "It's nothing. I'm sorry I should have hid that better. I didn't think about it when you asked for the Advil." "Don't be sorry Adrianna. Now tell me what that look was about. You know you can talk to me."

I sat down on the edge of my bed just realizing that I was still in my towel. I need to stop doing that. "It's just.... Nothing." He looks at me with serious eyes as he takes a seat next to me. I know he is here to listen and not judge me. I just can't bring myself to say the words out loud. I haven't had sex in over a year and I don't know why my husband doesn't want me. 

"Adrianna, please." 

"Christian I don't know what to say. Mitchell and I are in a weird place. We get along and are happy most days but we are not intimate and we haven't been in over a year. I have tried to be intimate with him but I don't think he finds me attractive anymore. I know I have put on a little weight but" He puts his finger to my lips. 

"A year Adrianna?" I look at him with sad eyes. "There is no way he doesn't find you attractive. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and after what I saw through those pajamas I don't know how he could keep his hands off you. I know I am having a hard time doing so. Have you tried to talk to him about it?" 

 "Yes I have. He just keeps saying that we are busy and that he doesn't think about it as much as I do. I can't help thinking about it. I am lonely Christian. I am practically begging to be touched."

Christian frowns and runs his hands through his hair. He looks at me with sadness and then suddenly his eyes turn dark. "Do you trust me Adrianna?" "Of course I do Christian or I wouldn't be talking to you about this." He stands up pulling me up with him. He slides his hands to the front of my towel releasing it and dropping it to the floor. His eyes stay on mine the whole time. 

"Christian" I whisper. He puts a finger to my lips "shhh". Christian picks me up and lays me down onto the bed, his eyes still on mine. He steps away and looks over my naked body. I could see the bulge growing in his tight pants. He grabs the vibrator and kneels back down on to the bed beside me. 

 "Open your legs" I could feel the wetness dripping from my pussy at his command and his woodsy sent was making me a little dizzy. 

My voice barely above a whisper "Christian we can't." 

"We aren't. Just let me do this for you. Open your legs." I hesitate for a moment then spread my legs for him, waiting for his next move. A small growl leaves his lips as he moves himself below my core. He looks into my eyes and plunges the vibrator into my soaking pussy. A moan escapes my lips as I arch my back and stare into his beautiful blue eyes. He turns the vibrator on as he thrusts it in and out of my aching center over and over again. I reach up and grab my breasts finding my nipples and squeezing them roughly. "Christian" I moan out as my body starts to clench around the vibrator. He can see my body start to tense. "Come for me Adrianna." I shatter at his words still staring into those blue eyes. My back arches and my body shivers as a smile emerges on Christian's face. I will never get those eyes out of my mind I think to myself as he brings my down from my climax with slow thrusts. He removes the vibrator and turns it off. 

"You don't know how bad I want to taste you right now." I reach down and touch my dripping wet sex. I take my fingers and place them to Christian's lips. He grabs my hand and sucks the juices off my fingers while staring into my eyes. "Mmm" he groans as his eyes roll into the back of his head. "Told you I would treat you to dessert tonight" I say softly. "Dessert before dinner might be my new favorite meal."

We both finish getting ready without speaking a word. What do you say to someone after a moment like that? I couldn't get him off my mind or the smile off of my face and I knew I was in trouble.
