underneath her, he jumped over to catch her. “You okay, Angel Face?”
“I’m fine, baby, it’s just...” she paused and giggled, her face flushed with embarrassment.
“What? What is it?”
“Three orgasms back to back? It makes my legs go weak every time I think about it. You were really saving those up, huh?”
“You have no idea. There was so much pressure to create a spectacular performance tonight. I have to be a good example for my boy. From here on out, I have to put it down like my life depends on it.”
She laughed and slapped him on the chest. “He is too young for your sex talk. You keep my child out of our sex life.”
“Hell, he is our sex life. How do you think he got here?”
“I see I’m going to have to knock you out regarding Jordan.”
He swung her up into his arms and walked toward the front. Once they were at the stairs, he chuckled and began his climb. She looked to him with confusion in her eyes, and he kissed her gently. Once in the room, he laid her down on the bed and headed toward the bathroom.
“Alex, what’s so funny?” she called out.
“You were worried that we would be a boring married couple with kids, but I don’t ever see that happening. I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of you.”
“I know I won’t.”
“I’ll be right back.” He went in the bathroom to get her bath started, and lit the candles surrounding the tub and put on soft music to create the right ambiance. By the time, he went back in to grab her, she had her eyes closed with her head resting on a pillow. She looked peaceful, and he felt bad about wanting to wake her. When he turned to go shut everything down, she called out to him.
“Where are you going, handsome?”
“I thought you were asleep, I wasn’t going to disturb you.”
“I was just trying to rest up for round two.”
“Round two?”
“Yes, baby, round two is all about you. As much as I need this, so do you. We are a team, and I need to make you feel safe and cherished just like you did for me.”
Alex grinned and walked over to pick her up. When he reached for her, she stood and then flew into his arms, wrapping her legs around him. He walked her into the bathroom and lowered her into the tub. As he picked up the sponge and drenched her body with the warm water below, he smoothed the hair back from her face and kissed her forehead. Alex knew tonight would be all for them, but he had to do something to soothe her fears. He knew they weren’t going to go away with just his reassuring words. It was time to take action.
Chapter Two
“Mom, what are you doing? Where are you?” Aiden called out as he made his way through Alex’s house. She had called him and said it was important, but she was nowhere to be found. He had almost forgotten that she was staying over at Alex’s during the week sitting with Jordan. He was growing anxious because he was supposed to have been in the office over an hour ago. Thank goodness for Alex going in today. Alex had been working at home mostly, but now that Allison was back in school and Melissa was watching Jordan he had more time to go in.
When he heard Jordan cooing, he walked around the corner, to find them sitting in a rocking chair in front of the TV. Melissa was clutching Jordan with her eyes shut. “Hey, big guy, it looks like you’re the one doing the babysitting.” He tried to lift Jordan out of her arms and she reached out, grabbing his wrist roughly, startling him. “Mom, it’s me. Did you forget you called me? I’ve been looking for you.” She sat up and looked at Jordan smiling and brushed her hand over his fat cheeks.
“I remember, but I wasn’t expecting to see you here. I thought you would have called first. I was just resting my eyes. This one here keeps you going. That’s why I have this pouch on to keep him near me.”
“I did call; several times. When you didn’t answer I got worried, but Mom, you can’t fall asleep with the baby. He is only two months
