Matrimonial Surprises (7c/?)
X-X-X-X-X
Jeff was sound asleep on his stomach when he was suddenly woken by a weight settling on his lower back. He grunted and blindly reached back with one hand only to make contact with Annie’s leg. He peeled his eyes open and groggily looked back at her.
Annie smiled brightly at him, “Hi.”
His head fell back onto the pillow with a thud. “What?” He croaked.
Her index finger began drawing mindless patterns over his shirt, “So grumpy.”
“You woke me up on a Sunday morning, of course I’m grumpy,” He muttered.
“Jeff, it’s almost ten.”
“On a Sunday. Now what do you want?”
“Do you know what Thursday is?” She questioned.
“The day before Friday.”
“Jeff! Come on, I’m being serious.”
He began to roll over onto his back and she lifted herself up to her knees for him before settling back down on his stomach with her hands braced on his chest. “Yes, I know what Thursday is.”
A small smile crept onto her face, “You do?”
“Duh, on Thursday it’ll be a year since that fateful night in Vegas.”
“Aww, honey you did remember!” She cooed happily as she traced the lines of his muscles through his t-shirt. “We should do something to celebrate. I mean we made it a year and so much has happened.”
Jeff rubbed his eyes with the heel of his hands, “Sure. Hey, why don’t we go away for the weekend?”
“Ohh, like where?”
He shrugged one shoulder, “Like a nice hotel in the mountains or something. It’ll probably be cheaper since it’s after the holidays.”
Annie bounced excitedly and he let out a little ‘omf’. “Jeff! That’s a great idea!”
“Good, now how about you go look up places to stay?”
“Are you trying to get rid of me so you can go back to sleep?”
“No comment. Why are you so hyped up anyway? All you’ve wanted to do for the past month is sleep and now you’re wide awake.”
“I guess I’m getting some energy back since I’m almost out of the first trimester.”
Jeff yawned and twisted himself awkwardly so he was half on his side. “And as glad as I am that you’re starting to feel better I’d appreciate it if you went somewhere else to be all energetic.”
She leaned down to kiss his cheek before climbing off of him, “Fine. I’ll be in the living room.” He only grunted in response and turned himself over the rest of the way as the door clicked shut behind her.
Not too long after Jeff came shuffling out of the bedroom with a hoodie on and yawning as he scratched through his messy hair. He fell onto the couch beside her without a word and slouched down so his legs were on the coffee table and he was leaning into her side.
She looked down at his rumpled appearance and smiled. For as much as she loved put together fancy Jeff, she also had a soft spot for disheveled Jeff, probably because even she didn’t see it all that much. “I thought you were going back to sleep?”
“I couldn’t and I blame you.”
“Uh, why?”
He burrowed his head into her arm and squinted at the laptop screen with one eye. “You woke me up then I couldn’t because I’m not used to falling asleep alone anymore.”
“Aww you need me to fall asleep.”
“I don’t need it I’m just used to it. There’s a difference.”
“Mmm hmm, sure.”
He snapped the laptop shut and put it on the floor next to the couch.
“Hey! I was looking at hotels!” She protested.
Jeff swung his legs up onto the couch so he was lying down and pulled Annie down on top of him. “And you can continue that in half an hour.”
“But…”
He cut her off by gently pushing her head down to his chest and stroking her hair, “Shhh, sleep now.”
“I don’t want to sleep.”
“Then just lay with me while I sleep.”
Annie huffed. “I have things to do.”
“Well you should have thought of that before you woke me up,” He said as he closed his eyes.
She sighed but didn’t put up any more of a protest and let herself sink into his warm chest; he wrapped his arms around her as their legs tangled together and her fist bunched around his sweatshirt. Even if she wasn’t interested in taking nap so soon after waking up she never needed much convincing to snuggle up with Jeff for a bit. Besides, Shirley’s advice of rest as much as possible before the baby comes was ringing through her head. Jeff’s breathing soon turned into light snores and even though she never fell asleep herself she still closed her eyes and let herself be soothed by his presence.
The following Friday they were both able to leave work a little early and made the hour drive up to the mountains to the fancy hotel they had booked for two nights. Annie ohh’d and aww’d over the décor and the deer walking through the snow outside the window of the hotel restaurant while Jeff admired the well stocked bar and debated whether or not it would look weird if he did a wine tasting by himself.
After dinner they headed back to their room. Jeff immediately kicked his shoes off and stretched out on the bed propped up on pillows. “Come ‘ere, babe,” He held out his arm and she took the invitation to settle into his side.
Jeff sunk into the soft mattress and a contented sigh escaped him. He was feeling warm and relaxed from the scotch he had at dinner, he had Annie snuggled up against him, with her fingers absentmindedly stroking his stomach and the familiar scent of her shampoo just below his nose, and he was in a nice hotel with two days of nothing ahead of him. All that made for a happy and loose Jeff. It was a feeling he was still getting used to but it was certainly a welcome one.
He lowered his head to brush his lips softly over her hairline. “You know there’s a hot tub outside, no one was in it when we walked by.”
“I would but I read that hot tubs aren’t good for pregnant women, something about bacteria that could be introduced into the birth canal.”
His fingers danced up her inner arm and up to tease at her neck, “Hmm, well then how about our own hot tub in the bath? Would that be okay?”
She flashed him a coy grin, “I think so. And it has the benefit of bathing suits not being required.”
“Well that definitely is a bonus isn’t it? I’ll go heat up the water.” He bounced off the bed and into the bathroom to start the tap.
Annie quickly undressed and wrapped herself in the white terry cloth robe provided by the hotel to ward off the cold then swept her hair up into a messy bun. She padded into the bathroom to find Jeff already stripped down to his underwear and folding his clothes on the counter. She came up behind him and pressed her lips to his upper back between his shoulder blades.
He spun around and smiled at her as he brought his hand up to run his palm over her hair. “I kind of like the messy hair look on you. It’s sexy.”
She looked up at him through her eyelashes, “I kind of like walking into a room to find you practically naked.”
“Well come on, who wouldn’t?”
She giggled and rolled her eyes. “Is the water hot yet?”
“Yup, it’s filling up now.”
When the tub was full Jeff kicked his underwear down his legs and stepped into the bath first then lowered himself so he was leaning against the back wall. Annie untied the belt of the robe and let it fall to her feet. His eyes did a sweep of her naked body, over her firm breasts, her slightly more defined curves, and the tiny swell of her stomach that he wouldn’t even notice if he didn’t know to look for it.
“Fuck, babe,” He breathed. “You’re so beautiful. Come here,” He held his hand out to help steady her as she climbed in and settled between his legs.
Annie rested against him with a happy little hum as he weaved his arms around her and held her so close she could feel every vibration and rise and fall of his chest against her back. He nuzzled his nose against her temple, “Comfortable?”
She rolled her head into the crook of his neck and closed her eyes as every muscle in her body began to relax. “Mmm hmm. Perfect.”
He ducked his head to pepper open-mouthed kissed from her ear down to her shoulder, tasting her clean skin and the hint of chlorine from the bath water. He gave her shoulder a playful little bite with a growl and she giggled.
“I’m so glad we could get away like this.”
“Me, too.” He slid his hand around to rest on her stomach and sucked at the slope of her neck.
Annie sighed into his embrace and reached back to scratch through his hair. “I can’t remember the last time I was in a bath,” He mumbled against her skin.
“Neither can I, but I’m thinking this is way better than a public hot tub.”
“Absolutely.” His fingers began to rub soft little circles over her stomach, “And if it’s safer for this little one than even better.”
Annie smiled, just like she did anytime he showed concern or affection for the baby. She curled her arm under and around his thigh of the leg he had propped against the side of the tub, then took the hand he had on her stomach and slid it up to her left breast.
Jeff stilled and lifted his mouth from her neck, “Are you sure?”
“Mmm, they’re not as sore as they were,” She hummed. “Just not too rough.”
He squeezed the firm weight of it gently in his hand and a gritty moan rumbled in his chest. “Holy fuck, babe.” Jeff squeezed again before plucking at her nipple making her squeak out a gasp. “Good or bad?” He asked just to be sure.
“Good,” She breathed out. “Really good.”
He did it again then smoothed his thumb over the hard peak and cupped and grasped it in his hand softly. His right hand moved up to do the same to her other breast and took it as a good sign when she moaned his name. He growled again and felt himself begin to get hard when he noticed Annie start squeezing her thighs together. “Want more?” He husked out in her ear.
Annie nodded dumbly against his shoulder, “God yes…” Her heal slipped against the bottom of the tub and the sound of the screech and slosh of water bounced off the tiles.
Jeff slowly pushed her legs apart with his left hand and her knees fell open against his. He slid his finger between her folds and brushed against her clit teasingly. Annie’s hips jerked up in search of more friction and he obliged, circling around the sensitive area with his fingers while continuing to work her chest with his other hand.
Annie gasped and arched against him when he started tweaking and flicking her nipple and clit in synch with the other. “Jeff. Fuck.” She tightened her arm around his thigh to keep herself anchored while her free hand flew to her other breast and began mimicking his movements.
He ducked his head again to suck and lick at the tender skin of her neck and let out a low groan, the vibration sent a shock straight down her spine and she quivered in his arms. “Shit, Annie, so fucking sexy.” She squirmed against his erection without even realizing it and he drew in a sharp breath through his teeth.
She started moving her hips faster against his hand as the tension in her rose. “Please, Jeff…oh God…fuck, more,” She begged.
Jeff hauled her up closer before slipping one finger followed quickly by a second inside of her as he kept his thumb firmly on her clit. “You like that don’t you, baby?” He growled in her ear.
Annie’s eyes closed tightly as he pumped his fingers in her in time with their combined work on her breasts. “Yessss, God, so much.” Finally the mix of sensations overpowered her and she began convulsing around his hand while he worked her through her orgasm. She arched against him as her gasps and moans echoed around the small bathroom before she limply sunk back into his chest.
He pulled his hand from between her legs before wrapping her up in his arms again and pressing gentle kisses into her hair. Her head rolled back to the crook of his neck and she kept her eyes closed as she caught her breath. She put her arms over his where they were locked around her torso and hummed quietly, “Jeff.”
“I’m here, baby. I’ve got you,” He whispered huskily as he nuzzled his nose into the spot behind her ear.
After a long moment Annie titled her head back to kiss the underside of his jaw. “How about we go back to the bedroom and I’ll return the favor?” She teased as she reached her hand down and traced the length of his erection with her fingers.
Jeff moaned at her playful touch and his head fell back against the tile. “That sounds like an excellent idea.”
She giggled and kissed his jaw one last time before carefully standing up and reaching for a towel, “I thought you’d like it.”
She stepped out of the tub and began drying herself off. Jeff quickly jumped up and snatched the towel away, “Let me.”
Annie laughed as he got on his knees in front of her and started working the towel over her body, leaving a trail of kisses behind. When he placed a soft lingering kiss to the tiny curve of her stomach she smiled down at him and scratched her nails over his scalp.
She cupped his face in her hands and gently tugged him up to press a kiss to his lips then took his hand. “Come on, your turn,” She said with a sly smile as she led him out of the bathroom. Jeff practically trotted after her like an excited puppy.
