Tender

Hayden

I slide out of her with a sigh, slumping down beside her, trying to catch my breath
She makes a small sound of satisfaction
Laughing huskily, I turn to her, wiping a strand of hair from her brow
"You OK?"
"Hmmm" she murmurs nuzzling into the caress, yawning gently. I smile at her tenderly, wrapping my arms around her
"Hm" she murmurs yawning again. I stroke her hair, kissing her forehead, smiling as she wraps a delicate arm around my waist. I curse myself for my crassness, but I need to know
"Well it can't have been that bad...you're still here..." She laughs gently, which sends goosebumps rushing up my arms
"Is that a not so subtle hint...?"
"What?" I murmur kissing her again, I can't resist those lips
"To fuck off?" she murmurs with another yawn
"No! God no!" I mutter quickly "I just..."
"Yes dear you were amazing!" she giggles
"Now your just being sarcastic!" I tease with a stupid grin on my face
"Sarcastic moi?"
"Yes you! Queen of Sarcasm is what we should call you!" I murmur poking her hip
"Ha ha!" she murmurs "and besides I wasn't being..." she murmurs huskily
"Oh?" I murmur, stroking her breast
"Hayden!" she giggles
"So I was...?"
"Huh, you just want me to stroke your ego!" she huffs
"Among other things" I drawl, tracing patterns on her stomach
"That tickles!" she murmurs
"Hmmm" I murmur "You boost my ego, I'll boost yours..."
"How can I resist?"
"You can't" I frown as I look down at her "You've lost weight..." she shrugs
"Was getting a bit fat" she murmurs
"What?" I splutter outraged "You were not!"
"Yes I..."
"What...no way...can't have this..."
She laughs
"Well you'll have your wish hopefully if..." she trails off
"If you fall pregnant..." I murmur huskily stroking the flat stomach, imagining it swollen with child my child, it's an exhilarating thought
"I better go..." she murmurs with a sigh
"What no..." I murmur as she slides out of the bed getting dressed. She hooks her bra on my heart sinks, everything was going so well
"I forgot about this one..." as she looks down at the clothes I had found for her
"Hmmm"
"What's wrong?" she laughs at my glum face
"Stay with me tonight" she sighs
"You know I can't..."
"Please Nat...Don't go...I don't want you to go..." de ja vu, she remembers I see her tense for a moment
"Hayden..." my name a quivering plea, she is weakening
"Where did you say you were going?"
"Out with the girls..."
"Phone him!"
"I can't..."
"Tell him you've had a bit too much to drink, and that your staying over with one of the girls..."
"He's asleep..."
"Leave a message..."
"I...I..."
She's run out of arguments, maybe because she didn't really want too, deep down we both want this
"I shouldn't..." she murmurs as I pull her onto the bed
"But?" she closes her eyes with a sigh
"I will..."
I tighten my arms around her pulling her back under the covers
"I have to phone..."
"Not yet..." I murmur unhooking the bra she laughs
"You're insatiable..."
"You're irresistible!"
"Flatterer"
"No...only the truth"
She laughs, against my neck, as I ease her underwear off
"Hayden?"
"Hmmm?"
"Yes"
"What?" I laugh
"The answer to your question is yes...you are better than him..."
I laugh
"That's what you really wanted to know...isn't it?" she murmurs Busted! She knows me too well, like I know her, I know deep down she doesn't love him, I can only hope I can reignite her love for me
