A Little Sane

Chapter 12

Jerome stared at his wife as she was washing dishes from dinner. Mercedes was humming a tune Jerome couldn't make out. She finally finished the dishes and turned around to see Jerome sitting at the kitchen table. He was leaned back in his chair staring at her. Mercedes gave him a small smile.

"Everything okay handsome?"

Jerome set up. He gave her a questioning look.

"What was that at Diablo's?"

Mercedes had noticed that their ride home and dinner were rather quiet. Jerome scooted back from the table slightly. Mercedes smiled.

"I was just securing us a job. We can't hold actual legal jobs... so I was just getting money flow.."

Jerome tilted his head.

"It seemed like you wanted a little more than a job."

Mercedes sighed. 

"It's a future for our kids. We can saving for them."

Jerome set up straighter. Mercedes walked over and set sideways in his lap. 

"I know this is risky, but we would have a steady flow of money now. If the kids come to us saying that want a box of cereal, it'll be so nice to not have to steal it... We'll be able to go buy them at least two boxes..."

Jerome sighed. Mercedes ran her fingers down his cheek.

"I know I seem to be going crazy, but I promise you I'm not trying to drag us into danger..."

Jerome gently grabbed her chin and pulled her forward. His lips gently pressed against hers. He rested his forehead on hers.

"How long has it been..?"

The smirk on Jerome's face made her stomach fuzzy. She smiled.

"Not long enough. Sorry."

Jerome looked away slightly disappointed. He understood, but he really wanted to have sex with his wife. Mercedes thought to herself and grinned. 

"But I know what could make you feel better.."

She turned to straddle his lap. She sank into his lap and moved closer to him slowly. She felt Jerome tense. He could feel her in an area that he couldn't handle feeling her in at that moment. Mercedes looked at her babies in their chairs and they both looked sleepy. Jerome turned to her and pleaded.

"Please don't tease me..."

Mercedes smirked and scooted back slightly. She ran her hand down his chest until she found his dick laying against his left leg. Jerome jumped slightly. Mercedes had no broken eye contact. 

"Mercedes..."

Mercedes gently ran her hand back and forth up and down his thigh. She continued smirking and looked over at the kids. Jerome stared at her wife in disbelief. 

"Look, they're sleepy. We should put them to bed."

Jerome closed his eyes. He opened them and set up straighter.

"Why are you trying to tease me?"

Mercedes left her hand on his leg. She leaned forward to whisper in his ear.

"We may not be able to have actual sex, but.."

She leaned down and licked up his neck.

"I'll play with it for you."

She felt Jerome slightly shake. She stayed close to his ear.

"Just help me put the kids to sleep and I'm all yours."
