“It’s hard to believe that he’s going to notice when I’m still unsure if his change is permanent,” she tells me.
“I think it is. I know that I haven’t known him for long, but I can see he genuinely wants to do anything to have you back,” I tell her.
“I know, but it’s not something I can just get over in a matter of weeks,” she whispers.
“It will take time. Just be open to letting him show you who he is now,” I whisper back.
“I will,” she says softly before falling asleep.
It takes me a little longer to fall asleep, but I enjoy the feel of having her in my arms. It’s like it was always meant to be.

I’m exhausted by the time I get home. I hated being away from my wife. I have this fear that she will change her mind about us if I spend too much time away from her.
It doesn’t help that she has been acting strange lately; ever since she got sick from the food her sister brought home.
She will let me kiss her and hold her as we cuddle on the couch, but I’m still sleeping in another room which doesn’t make for a good night’s sleep since all I want is my wife in my arms. I did, however, promise her space, so I won’t pressure her into letting me back in our bed.
I’ve also become addicted to kissing Ice. When we are at the club, I have to stop myself from pulling him into my arms and kissing the fuck out of him all the time. I know most of my brothers know now, but it is one thing to know and another to see.
I haven’t seen either of them all day, and I was too busy to text or call them, so I head to Ana’s room first before I look in on Ice.
When I walk into the room, I suck in a breath at the sight.
Fuck me. Seeing them sleeping together with Ice holding her like she’s something precious does something to me.
I don’t think about my next move as I strip down to my boxers and climb onto the other side of Ana.
Her eyes open briefly, and she smiles softly as me. “You’re home.”
“I am. Go back to sleep, baby,” I whisper.
She moves out of Ice’s hold and places her head on my chest, but he just follows her and keeps her close. I can reach both of them like this, and I fall asleep with a smile on my face.
Maybe everything will work out after all.
The next morning when I wake up, it’s just Ice and me in bed. He’s awake staring at me, which startles me for a second.
“Fuck, why are you watching me sleep like a fucking creeper?” I grumble, rubbing my eyes with my hands.
He chuckles and the sound goes straight to my cock.
“You talk in your sleep. I was enjoying the entertainment,” he says.
“I do not,” I mumble, but I know I do. Ana has told me many times the ridiculous things I’ve said. I don’t even remember what I dream about to come up with that shit though.
“You do. You were saying something about the raccoon being in charge, and no one was allowed to eat him,” he says with a light laugh.
“Well, you better not eat my raccoon,” I mutter, looking over at him.
“Oh I’ll eat your raccoon alright,” he rasps.
I look over at him in horror at the same time that a laugh comes from the doorway.
“That was the worst. It was not even a tiny bit sexy,” Ana says while laughing.
“Yeah, I know. I heard it as soon as I said it out loud, but then it was too late to take it back,” Ice says with a laugh.
