Surprises Part Three
Later that night, once everyone had left, Jacob was curled against Paul’s chest, shirtless at his lover’s request. Paul’s fingers played across Jacob’s pooched out stomach, while Jacob cuddled against him. The scarring on Paul’s face and arm had almost completely vanished; faint pink lines still tainted his skin.
“You can’t let Leah get to you.” Jacob said, quietly.
“Jacob, she called you and Squirt disgusting! There is no reason for that.”
“She’s jealous Paul. We have what she wants. We have each other and a baby on the way.”
“I don’t care. If she calls you or our baby disgusting again, I’ll tear her throat out.” Jacob knew there was no point continuing with this argument; Paul was just too defensive and stubborn to see it his way. He picked up the remote and turned the television off, standing and pulling Paul up and towards the bedroom.
“C’mon, I’m tired. Its bed time.” Paul rolled his eyes but followed his lover to their room.
