I sat down next to him and reached for his head, liftin’ it so I could pull him into my lap. He let me, and settled into me like he needed it more than he was sayin’.
My fingers moved over his face, rubbin’ along his jaw slow while I looked down at him, and My’Love stayed right on his chest, laid up under him.
I leaned down and kissed him, lettin’ it be soft and slow, my lips pressin’ into his, remindin’ him I was right here with him no matter what was goin’ on in his head. He kissed me back the same way, his hand comin’ up to rest on my thigh while our baby stayed between us, comfortable and calm.
When I pulled back, I placed the pill bottle in his hand.
“Why you ain’t been takin’ your medicine?” I asked him.
He ain’t answer right away. He was too busy kissin’ on My’Love, his attention on her while she smiled and babbled up at him. I gave him a second, lettin’ him have that moment, but I ain’t take my eyes off him.
After a while, he finally looked up at me.
“’Cause I like fuckin’ you,” he said.
I blinked at him, frownin’. “What the hell that gotta do with anything?”
He looked at me like I already knew the answer.
“You know what that got to do with,” he said, his voice low.
I shook my head, but I did know.
“If my dick don’t get hard, I can’t get no pussy,” he went on, keepin’ it real the way he always did. “And if I can’t get no pussy, I ain’t gon’ always take them.”
I let out a breath, lookin’ down at him. “We can switch your medicine, ’Lo. You ain’t gotta just stop takin’ it.”
“I ain’t stop,” he said. “I just ain’t takin’ it every day.”
“That’s not how that work,” I told him, my voice softer now but still firm. “You know that.”
He looked at me, and was quiet for a second while My’Love played with the remote.
“’Lo… please take the pill,” I said, rubbin’ his face again.
He watched me, then nodded. “A’ight… After we make love tonight, I’ll take it.”
I rolled my eyes, but I couldn’t even hold it, ’cause it had been days for us, and I missed my husband just as much as he missed me.
“A’ight,” I replied under my breath, shakin’ my head.
Time passed with us sittin’ here together. I held him in this space until I felt him come back fully, and his eyes matched the man I knew again.
After a while, he sat up with My’Love still on his chest, and by then she had fell asleep on him.
“Come on, baby,” he said soft to me.
I followed behind him as he walked upstairs, watchin’ the way he held My’Love so careful and gentle.
We made our way down the hallway and into her room, and he laid her down in her crib slow, adjustin’ her blanket before leanin’ down to kiss her.
When he turned back to me, he reached for my hand and lifted it to his lips, pressin’ a kiss to the back of it while lookin’ at me in a way that said everything he ain’t say out loud. Then he laced his fingers with mine and led me out the room, down the hall and into ours. And just like that, it was us again.
After layin’ My’Love down, me and ‘Lo took a shower together like we did every night. It wasn’t even about rushin’ to get clean.It was just us standin’ under the water with our hands on each other, lettin’ the day fall off us while we stayed close. When we got out, we dried off, got in the bed, and fell right back into our own vibe like we always did.
The TV was playin’ in front of me, but I wasn’t payin’ attention to none of that shit. I was turned the opposite way of Kay’Lo with my ass in his face, my body laid out for him while I gripped his dick in my hand, kissin’ and lickin’ around the tip slow. My titties pressed into his thighs while I took my time with him, not rushin’, but just enjoyin’ my man’s dick and the way it felt in my hand.
I wasn’t even tryna make him cum right then. I just wanted to taste him, feel him and be right here with him in this moment.
