John rolled over, it was morning already. Beth was asleep. He moved out of the bed quietly to let her sleep. He went to the bathroom and heard Hunter bouncing in. He wrapped a towel around himself and scooped up Hunter, "Shh, mommy is asleep."
"Oh, he whispered, "Hi daddy. I missed you. I like Jackie she is fun."
"That is good, now go down and when mommy gets up I will have her come down to see you."
"Okay." Off Hunter went to play. John turned and went to take a shower. After the shower he checked on Beth. She was still asleep. "Hey, sleepy head, are you going to wake up. She stretched and looked up at him. "Hi."
He climbed back under the covers. She climbed on top and began waking up her husband's body. He smiled. She leaned down to kiss his chest, morning breath she wasn't going to kiss him on the mouth until she had brushed her teeth. But she also wasn't going to stop loving her husband. She worked his body, with hers. She moved off of him and went to take a shower. She brushed her teeth first and thought about the tryst in the bathroom in New York and was smiling in the shower when he joined her. They dressed and went to see Hunter before getting breakfast. They brought down their gifts for him. He loved them.
Meanwhile at Hunter's Cafe. "Nickie, you seem down since yesterday, what is wrong?"
Nickie looked up at Tyler. "Nothing, really, I had a friend once and I was just remembering him. I think I made it out to be more than it was and when I found out it was it was just sad. I think it is all my hormones going haywire in me."
"You know since, I started working this restaurant I have not taken any time off to be with you. So today I think I will leave Jacques in charge."
Nickie looked up at him smiling,"What will we do?"
"First, why don't we go up to the room and have some time alone. Then we can go out and get some stuff for the babies rooms. Would you like that?"
"Yes," Nickie said I would.
Tyler stroked her stomach, then he lovingly took her top off. Then he loosened her bra and rubbed her back, relieving the tension. He stroked her arms, and went down back to her stomach, then up through her breasts. He continued rubbing her body taking off the bottoms. She laid on her side and he caressed her arms down her butt. He lifted her up on his body, stroking her breasts, down her stomach around to her butt, up her back. He told her how beautiful she looked, how much he loved her stomach beginning to protrude with their children. How her breasts would soon be feeding their children, as he nibbled on them. He kept working her body and stroking her ego. They connected and he held her kissing everything he could reach. She almost could understand how Beth felt, because she worked on Tyler several other ways, and it was already lunch time by the time they left their apartment. She felt alive, no longer sulking over John. She had found Tyler again.
Meanwhile, Hunter was sleeping and John wanted to take advantage of this time to take Beth to the bedroom for a talk. He had some concerns that he wanted to go over. She sat in the comfortable sofa in front of the couch. He put his arm around her. She snuggled up to him. "What do you want to talk about," she asked.
"I just noticed that you did not seem that into having sex with Chris? Did you feel forced into that, or has some of your feelings towards sex changed?"
She looked up at him wondering, "Did Nickie tell you something about me?"
"No, when we talked I was mainly telling her nothing was going on between us, that you and I were being honest with each other. Why did you tell her something?"
"I told her my sex drive was stronger than before, she wondered why? Haven't you noticed?"
"I noticed that you seemed to want more. But I just figured you might just be feeling relieved that Francesca was gone. I am going to ask you something very personal and it is more to find out something to help you, just be honest with me."
"Okay, I will."
This may sound weird but did you enjoy the sex during the rape?"
"What?" He waited. She began to talk,"No, I did not, my body did like the sex, not the abuse, but my mind hated it. I hated the mental abuse and the physical abuse. I also hated that it took me back to that night along time ago. Did you think I did?"
"No, I thought you might have been concerned about that. Sometimes during a rape women do not understand there is a difference about the body naturally reacting and the act of rape. What hurt you most about losing Richard? Nickie sleeping with him and is pregnant by him, or that he tried to hurt me? Did he show up during the rape?"
"Yes," she said quietly. "I heard his voice, they made him watch, he yelled for them to stop. I think I miss the fact that I do not have a friend, a lover, that doesn't know my past. I miss him."
"Why do you think that you were not as excited as usual to see someone on the side? I am talking about Chris."
"I do not know. It was fun during it but I did not actually get excited to see him, weird huh?"
"No, you have been through a lot. I loved that you were open about it with me. I don't really like hearing about men making love to you. But I love what you like, you tell me about and show me so we can enjoy it together. I understand that I can not keep up with you but I will try."
"Oh, they do not make love to me, they have sex with me. I make love to you only. I called Tyler yesterday and he gave me a hotel name that we can stay at on Valentine's weekend."
"You called Tyler? Did you talk about Nickie?"
"I told him that she sounded sad and lonely. How during a pregnancy a woman needs more attention sometimes. I told him different things that you did during my pregnancy that helped me get through it."
"That was nice of you. I really helped during your pregnancy?"
"Yes, when we made love you talked about the beauty of the body changing, and how you loved my body."
"I love your body, with a baby or not, it is always beautiful to me. I do remember those afternoons in Ireland."
"Remember that time I had to go to the bathroom during sex?"
He laughed, "I remember. I also remember what happened with the maid, which was not fun."
"Oh, yes, the maid, she saw you on the bed waiting and willing. She pulled up her dress and was hopping on when I was coming out of the bathroom. " Mr. V. you don't have to play with yourself I am here. Oh, I get you without the condom, how nice, Mr.V. Sorry the Mrs. can't take care of you, but I will" then I remember saying, "lower yourself down on that and I will kill you. Yes, I can take care of him, just watch me and I with my eight month belly got on you and rode you hard."
John was just daydreaming, and smiling. She hit him playfully.
"Hey, which one are you thinking of? Why did you start having sex with her and when did you stop?"
He smiled, " I am thinking of what you did. I do not know why I started having sex with her. It happened one day when you were gone. She came into my office, purposefully bent over, no panties, my mind wandered, the next thing I know, I was having sex with her. We stopped when the baby was born. Actually we only had sex probably twice more, after she did that, because her comment about no condom, scared me. I did not want to have a baby with her. You know I have never missed her. You are right, I was not making love, I was releasing energy."
"Do want to release some energy with me," she asked.
"No, I want to make love to you." He moved his legs up on the couch while she waited and laid on top of him. She was pulling his polo up and out of his pants while kissing him. He was releasing her bra and taking up her shirt. They laid there bare chested for a moment together. She loved laying against him, he was rubbing her back.
"John, that maid ticked me off that day thinking a woman that is pregnant could not love her husband. Was it wrong for me to get on top of you in front of her? Does that mean I could be an exhibitionist?"
"No, that does not mean that. You just were an angry pregnant wife, showing a young girl her place. She did leave after you started working on me. She backed out with her mouth open, by the way she later told me that she did not know women could do that."
She was taking off his pants, he was remembering that day. He definitely was reacting to memories and what she was doing. He reached down and pulled her pants off and put her right down on him. She was laughing,"Looks like the old married woman still knows how to get you going."
"Always," he said.
