She looks at me and then at the couch that we’re sitting on and I know what she’s thinking; there’s no way I’m fitting on this couch. Even if I could, the couch is a couple of years old and you can feel the springs in some places. I’m not looking forward to cramming myself onto it tonight, but if it means that Adeline is here with me, then I’ll suck it up.
“I can take the couch. I’m smaller than you so it would probably be more comfortable for me.”
“No, no, I’ll be fine. The couch is pretty lumpy.”
She doesn’t look happy about it but she lets the subject drop. We finish eating and clean up the mess, putting the food away and throwing out the paper plates. I show her upstairs and to the master bedroom.
She walks into the room and I follow after her. As soon as I see her in here, a feeling of completeness settles over me.I need this girl.
She looks over to the mattress on the floor. I want her to be happy here. With me. I had a bed but I wanted Adeline to pick out our bed. The bed we share will be with us for years. It will be where we make love, where our children are conceived, where I will fall asleep every night with her in my arms and wake up every day to see her lying next to me.
“This reminds me of Aspen and my old apartment.”
“This room?”
“No, the mattress on the floor. We couldn’t afford anything else so we dragged some mattress in off the streets and shared it. I kind of miss it. Is that crazy?”
“No, love. You two are close. Her getting married and moving has to be a big change.”
She’s lost in thought for a minute before she looks back to me.
“It’s a king, right?”
“The mattress? Yeah.”
“Then it should be big enough for the two of us. That way you won’t have to sleep on the lumpy couch.”
“Are you sure?” I ask but I can tell that I’m doing a terrible job of keeping the excitement out of my voice.
“Yeah. It will be fine and we can get some furniture or an air mattress tomorrow.”
I was looking forward to shopping with her tomorrow because it would mean that she was starting to leave her touch on our home but now that it would mean that she wouldn’t be sleeping next to me, I’m decidedly less enthusiastic.
“Mind if I take a shower? Then we can feed the pups and get some sleep. We’ll probably have to get up two or three times tonight.”
“Sounds good, love.”
She grabs her toiletry bag and I show her to the connecting bathroom. I leave her to shower and head back downstairs. I respond to some work emails and a couple of texts from Bryson, best friend, before Adeline comes back downstairs. I just about swallow my tongue when I take her in. Her face is free of makeup and her hair is damp and brushed away from her face. She’s wearing a pair of sleep shorts that are rolled at the waist. They’re so short that I wonder if I’ll be able to see her ass if she turns around. She’s wearing a light pink camisole that’s molded to her torso, showing off her perfect tits and lack of bra. I’m rock hard and my phone slips from my hand as I watch her bare legs and feet make their way over to me.
I can feel my jeans strangling my cock as I help her make the bottles and we feed the puppies one more time before we head to bed. I’m pleased when I can recognize most of the puppies. I mix up Mowgli and Neal but they’re the most similar.
We put the puppies down for the night and climb the stairs to head for bed. She’s already in her pajamas and I slip into the closet to change. Normally, I sleep naked but I’m not sure how she would react to that. I take my jeans and shirt off but leave my boxers on before I head back out to her. She’s already under the covers and I pause before turning off the lights to take her in. She’s perfection.
I turn the light off but turn the bathroom light on and leave the door cracked. That way we can see when we get up to feed the puppies in a couple of hours. Plus, I’ll be able to see her still.
I pull the covers back and crawl onto the mattress next to her. For the first time in my life, I wish that I had a smaller bed. I would give anything to feel her pressed up against me right now.
“Goodnight, Linc.” She says as she rolls over onto her side.
“Goodnight, love.” I say as I lay down next to her.
CHAPTER 11
Adeline
I wakethe next morning to find the mattress next to me empty. We got up a couple of times last night to feed the puppies and change the blankets in the pool. Each time we got more and more comfortable with each other. I could feel his eyes on me as I moved around in just my pajamas and I grew damp between my legs every time I caught him checking me out.
I had been a little self-conscious when I had first come downstairs in my pajamas but when his eyes had practically devoured me, that self-consciousness had turned to lust. The way he looked at me, made me feel powerful and desirable. We had fed the puppies and then gone to bed and when I woke up several hours later for the first feeding, Lincoln was wrapped around me. I smiled to myself, secretly loving that he was drawn to me, even in his sleep.
