“Emma’s really keeping the kids for the night?” Jimmy asked again, still listening for the tell tale cry of one of their children, whom always seemed to interrupt them at the most inopportune moment. A slow smile formed at the corner of Abby’s lips. “Yes. We’ve got the whole house to ourselves,” she told him with a sultry sound to her voice as she moved closer to where he was standing. Placing a hand on his chest, she toyed with one of his shirt buttons and looked up at him from under her eyelashes. The unbridled passion she saw flash in his eyes set her heart racing. Jimmy growled huskily as he pulled his wife into his arms, wrapping her possessively in his embrace. He lowered his head, finding that tantalizing spot on her neck that drew his attention so often. Abby’s legs felt weak at the assault, holding onto him tightly as the heat of passion over took them both. He felt her shiver of anticipation as his lips caressed the spot then moved over her neck and up to her lips, capturing them with his own. Lifting her in his arms he strode to their bedroom and kicked the door shut with a loud thud as he entered the room. Dropping onto the bed, he made sure not to crush her with his weight. A hand snaked through her auburn locks as the other slid down her arm to still upon her waist. At the frantic movement of her hands undoing the buttons on his shirt, Jimmy put his hand over hers, stopping them as he whispered, “Tonight there’s no rush….it’s just you and me….getting back to what we do best…” Nodding, Abby’s hands slowed, drawing out the anticipation that was building between the two of them. For the first time in what seemed like ages she was able to savor every touch from her husband and eagerly returned the favor as she took her sweet time getting to know every part of the man who held her heart. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ “Your….sister should…take the kids…more often!” Jimmy rasped as he lay on his back, trying to catch his breath. Abby turned on her side, sliding her leg along his. She let out a small laugh at the look on his face before telling him, “You may say that now, but you’ll be singing another tune once I’m expecting again.” Jimmy’s grin slipped. “Got a point there sweetheart,” he admitted. “Though I love our children dearly, having another right now would mean I get their momma to myself even less.” With a playful growl, Jimmy reached for his wife, tickling her sides as she laughed and tried pushing him away. “No…please stop!” she squealed, unable to get away from his roaming hands. Jimmy’s brows rose, mocking her. “You weren’t saying that a few minutes ago…” Abby rolled her eyes as he nipped at her shoulder. “Good lord, Jimmy! Is that all you think about?” “And you don’t?” he questioned looking up at her from where he was slowly trailing kisses down her arm. Swatting him playfully she admitted, “Oh, I think of it from time to time.” She winked and told him with a slow drawl, “Like whenever I see my handsome husband!” then rolled away from him. Jimmy made a grab for her as she tried to slip from the bed and caught her around the waist. “Oh no you don’t,” he growled. “And where do you think you’re going?” he pulled her back down on top of him and kissed her soundly. “Didn’t I say that tonight there’s no rush? Tonight,” he paused, his hand caressing her soft skin, “We have all the time in the world…and I plan on making slow, mad passionate love to my beautiful wife all night long.” A content sigh escaped Abby’s lips as she closed her eyes, letting Jimmy set the pace. As a shiver raced through her body as the warmth of his lips explored further. As he moved back to her lips she whispered, “I like this no rushing thing.” “I knew you would,” he replied. “Remind me to thank Emma.” Drop me a note and let me know what you thought!
