Chapter Seventeen

“It’s okay baby girl.” I kiss him back gently.
“That’s why we should probably have cut out the rough sex and why I won’t do anything now.” We tried a couple of times when he came home but he was always in terrible pain though he tried to hide it afterwards.
“Touch them.”
“Baby just get in the tub. I’m not going to touch your bruises because they need to heal.”
“You’re afraid.” He gets into the tub. I move up so that he can sit behind me then I lean into his chest.
“They remind me of what happened and I don’t like those memories.”
“But I am here thanks to you doll.” He wraps his arms around me and I relax feeling safe.
“What do you mean? I didn’t do anything baby.”
“If I didn’t have you, I never would have fought to live. I would’ve just quit and let fate decide.” What he was saying was sweet but I also didn’t like him feeling that way. He should want to fight to live regardless.
“Baby that’s beautiful, but you have other reasons to live. You have family and friends that love you too. I wish you could see yourself the way that I see you. Maybe we should just have children now then you’d have two more people to tell you what I’ve been telling you.”
“Aww doll, but you are my favorite reason to live.” Realizing what I said, I sat up.
“Umm wait. I didn’t mean to say that last part out loud.” He laughs and kisses my cheek.
“That’s not funny baby. I always say too much when I’m talking to you. So you’re saying that if I left you and something happened to you, you wouldn’t fight to live?”
“You are my everything doll, so probably not.”
“Hmm… really?”
“Yes, and I’m sure you’ve been told the same by Daniel.”
“He said that I make you happy.”
“Because you do doll.” I lean back into him and kiss his neck.
“Stop talking like that please.” He lets out a little moan.
“Yes my Queen.”
“Baby do you want to stay in a little longer or are you ready to get out?”
“I’m going to stay a little longer.”
“Okay baby. I’m going to get out now.
I start to wash and get out, drying off and wrapping a towel around me.
“You relax and I’ll be in the room waiting. I haven’t decided if I’ll be naked or not yet.” I lean down and kiss his cheek. “Enjoy your bath baby.” Before I can straighten back up, he gently grabs my face and kisses me deeply, slipping his tongue inside and I kiss him back deeply running my tongue against his letting out a little moan before we break apart.
“I’ll be out shortly.”
“Okay baby.” I watch him lay back and relax in the tub as I walk out and head to the bedroom. After drying off completely and deciding to just get in bed naked because he manages to get my clothes off anyway somehow, and climbed into bed. As I lay there, I start thinking about what he said in the tub. What if he really does love me that much? I mean would he really have not fought to live if I wasn’t in his life? We may need to talk more about this one day but not tonight. Therapy wiped him out and I’m tired myself, so we can just watch a movie and go to sleep.
I pull the covers over myself and roll onto my stomach playing a game on my phone. As I’m still talking to myself and playing a game on my phone, I don’t hear when the water is being let out of the tub or when he enters the room. I also don’t notice him take his towel off until it hits me. When I roll over and look up at him he has the sexiest smirk on his face.
“What are you mumbling over there?”
“Umm nothing baby.” I smile and stare at him. I mean what else can I do when he’s standing there naked in front of me. I definitely should have put clothes on tonight.
“Uh huh, you’re over there thinking about me naked aren’t you?” All I can do is smile at him.
“Always daddy.”
“Naughty girl. Doll can you throw my towel back?” He must have realized that he didn’t dry himself off and I decided to play with him.
“No, I don’t think so.” I smile at him playfully.
“Are you going to make me come and get it?”
“Oh yes definitely.” He walks over to me dripping wet.
“Can I have it now?”
“I don’t know. You must have wanted me to have it since you threw it at me.”
“I’m going to get the bed wet otherwise.” He just doesn’t know that this bed is going to be wet regardless.
“You tend to make that happen anyway baby but I guess so.” I reach up and hand him the towel. Suddenly he grabs me and pulls me to him. Our naked bodies pressed against each other while he looked at me with lustful eyes and I couldn't say or do anything but stare into them.
“Don’t test me.” That’s all he says while holding me against him and I can feel his muscles among other things. Finally I find my voice as I hand him the towel again.
“Go dry off bully.” He squeezes my thighs which he knows drives me crazy. It turns me on and he knows it. Look I don’t know why it does but it does okay. He takes the towel and moves to go dry off. I laugh and lay back down.
“You’re a bully and a tease mister.”
“And you love me all the same.”
“That’s true. Now hurry up because my body misses yours.”
“Hmm, I think I’ll take my sweet time. After all, I’m not that good remember?” I was confused by his statement at first then I remembered a conversation we had a while ago. We were playing and I told him that he wasn’t that good in bed when he said that I was making noises like I couldn’t take it one night. I had totally forgotten about that until now. I smiled when I remembered.
“Hmm you’re right. I guess I should call someone and have them on standby.” If looks could kill I don’t think I’d be alive from the glare that he was giving me.
“They’ll be dead before they ever walk through the door.” I sigh and shake my head. I think that I may have gone too far this time. I pat the bed next to me forgetting that we’re both naked at the moment.
“Okay baby just calm down and come to me please.” He comes over and lays down next to me. “I love you and will never give myself to anyone else ever as long as we’re together. It was a bad joke baby. I’m sorry.” He rests his head on my breasts.
“I know it was a joke baby girl.”
“Yeah but it still upset you otherwise you wouldn’t have looked at me like that baby.”
“No it didn’t doll.” He kisses my cheek.
“Yeah so that’s why you glared at me and threatened to kill the imaginary man? Baby I’m very faithful and besides I want only you touching me and kissing me, and inside of me.” I begin to kiss him deeply and he kisses me back deeply. We kiss for a while moaning but stop before things go too far.
“Nobody else but you daddy.” He smiles and I smile back. “What do you want to do now? I mean do you want to watch a movie or something?”
“I’m ready for bed actually. It’s already very late.”
“Okay baby.” I turn on my side and try to get comfortable. “Good night baby.” As I close my eyes, I feel his arms wrap around me and pull me closer to him whispering in my ear. “Don’t worry baby. I’ll take care of it in the morning.” I feel myself starting to blush.
“I’m not upset about sex baby. Actually I’m not upset at all. I’m just tired.”
“Want me to light some lavender candles and rub your back?” I swear I love this man. He’s just so sweet and thoughtful. He just said he’s ready for bed and told me he was tired earlier but he’s willing to do this for me. I couldn’t ask for a better man.
“No baby, but thank you for offering. I’ll fall asleep very soon. Get some rest.”
We both lay there, him holding me tight in his arms and my body pressed against his and all I feel is love. I have no idea how I’m going to go back to sleeping alone when I get back home, but for now I’m going to enjoy and cherish every minute of this feeling. If he keeps this up though, I don’t think I’ll be able to leave. My eyelids start to get heavy and right before I fall asleep I whisper ‘I love you’ and am surprised when I hear him say, “I love you too doll” right before falling asleep.
