“Never feel bad.” I drag my knuckles down her cheek and neck. “You’re the number one priority, always. I’m happy to be here with you. Have you had a million visitors already? I saw Dani and Skyla leaving.”
“Yeah.” She sighs happily. “Some of the girls came by to feed me and bring me books. I texted Christy and Noah, and they’ve both got things handled at work. I even managed to take a nap for a while.”
“You’ve been busy.”
She smirks at that. “Right. Busy. I feel guilty for being so lazy. But at the same time, it kind of feels good.”
“You need the rest so you can heal,” I remind her. “How’s your pain?”
“Not bad. I took something earlier. That’s why I napped for so long. I don’t think I’ll take the meds after today. Ibuprofen should work fine.”
I frown and brush the pad of my thumb over her lower lip. “Use them if you need them. It’s only been a couple of days.”
She nods and then settles in next to me, nuzzling my chest, and her perfect little hand roams down to push under my shirt so she can touch my stomach.
What is it with women and abs?
“Brooks …”
I know that voice.
“No.”
“Babe, I’m fine.”
“I’m not fucking you, Juliet.”
She sighs and frowns up at me. She’s so fucking adorable, I can’t resist kissing the tip of her nose.
“Okay, don’t fuck me then. Make love to me. Come on, it’s been days, and I’m feeling better.”
“You’re injured. It hurts for you to bend your knee, baby. I refuse to make you hurt any more than you already are.”
“It hurts that I can’t be intimate with you more than my leg aches,” she admits. “You won’t hurt me.”
“No lying to me.” I shake my head. “If it gets worse, you have to tell me.”
Her eyes widen and sparkle with lust. “Is that a yes?”
“Why can’t I ever say no to you?”
“Because you love me?”
“I don’t think that’s it.”
She grins so big, it lights up the whole room.
“Come on.” I stand and take her by the hand, pulling her to her feet. “Let’s go to our bed, where we have more space.”
“I’ll follow you anywhere,” she murmurs as she climbs to her feet, and we take it slow, walking to the bedroom. “Wait. Go lock the doors, please. The girls have been just walking in, which is fine if we’re not making babies in here.”
I smirk and leave her where she is, then hurry over to lock both the front and the back doors. Then I return to my wife and lead her the rest of the way to the bedroom.
“Jules, I’m serious. If this hurts too much, just say so. It won’t hurt my feelings.”
“It might hurt my feelings,” she replies and pushes her hands under my shirt again. “Please take this off. I like seeing your chest and abs all muscly and hard.”
No pressure.
I can never stop going to the gym. I want my girl to always look at me like this.
I shed the shirt and then the lounge pants I pulled on after my shower. I’m already hard as fuck, but that’s just my permanent state whenever I’m around this woman.
It’s been this way since we were sixteen.
“Do you remember the first time we did this?” I whisper, pushing my fingers into her soft, golden curls and tucking them behind her ear.
“Of course, I do.” She leans in to press her lips over my heart. “We were both so nervous.”
“It feels like that right now.”
Her eyes jump to mine, wide and surprised. “Why?”
“Because I don’t want to hurt you, and I’m not sure how to navigate this.”
Juliet’s beautiful face softens, and her hands glide up to frame my face. “You won’t hurt me. You would never hurt me. I want you to hold me when I’m not coming out of a nightmare. I can spread my legs without it hurting, babe.”
I want that, too. I’ve been so fucking worried about her, I haven’t even thought about sex. I just wanted to make sure she was healing and whole.
But now, her nipples are puckered, and her cheeks are rosy. If my wife needs to come, I’ll fucking make her come.
Several times.
“Let’s get you naked so I can worship your gorgeous-as-fuck body,” I growl against her lips, my hands fisting in the hem of her T-shirt and dragging it up her torso. She raises her arms, and I cast the shirt aside. Then I unfasten her bra, and she lets it fall to the floor. “I love your tits. I always have.”
I cup them in my hands and roll the nipples between my fingers, making her sigh and tip her head back, exposing her neck. I can’t resist leaning in to nibble her there, and grin when goose bumps break out at the touch of my lips.
