Thrive - Side 2

Abby has finally gotten the go ahead to have sex, so we have the whole night planned. We made the decision to let her mom and stepdad babysit while we spend the entire night together which has not happened in what feels like a lifetime.

“How’s my beautiful wife feeling this morning?” I asked while she was feeding Scarlett on the couch.

“Amazing. So excited about tonight. How are you feeling?”

“The same. I can’t wait. We need this.”

“I couldn’t agree more. I hate to leave her though. I’ve always been close by.”

“It’s just for one night. She’ll be fine. You know that. Right?”

“Of course I do, but it’s just gonna be hard.” she sighed.

“I know, but she’s gonna be with her grandma who raised an incredible woman that just happens to be her mom.”

She smiled.

"You're seriously too much sometimes, Alex Gaskarth."

I laughed and kissed her temple. When Scarlett began getting fussy, we knew she was done, but even after Abby covered herself back up. I saw this and kissed the top of her head to see if that would make a difference; it certainly did. Scarlett smiled and giggled at me.

“You are amazing. Thank you.”

“Anytime.” I said, kneeling in front of Abby and kissed her.

She returned the favor.

“I love you.” she said.

“I love you, too.”

Nine hours later, Abby was getting ready to take Scarlett to her maternal grandparents house and was almost done as she made a list for them on how to take care of her while we’re away for the night.

“Is she ready?” I asked, walking into her nursery.

“Almost. Just making them a list.”

I walked over to her crib and saw that she was sleeping.

“I’m gonna miss her too. You have no idea how hard it is being away from her.”

The sadness in me was evident as my heart ached. I heard Abby walk over and felt her wrap her arms around mu stomach, pressing a kiss to my back. I touched her hands and sighed.

“I love you, Scarlett.” I said.

“I love you, too.” Abby said to her.

After a moment, we separated and I turned around.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah.”

“Good because we have a big night ahead of us.”

I smirked.

“Damn. I love that smirk of yours.”

“And I love yours.”

A moment later, she placed Scarlett in her baby wrap and grabbed her baby bag before walking down the steps.

“I’ll be back soon.” she said, placing her in her car seat.

“Be careful. Love you.”

“Love you, too.”

While Abby was away with Scarlett, I started to get ready for our long awaited night, beginning with figuring what I was going to wear. When I was walking out of the bathroom after my shower, I looked up to see her walk into our room.

“Hey, Abby.” I said.

“Hey. Nice shower?"

"Yeah, but it was missing you."

"Sorry I had to miss it." she said, walking toward me and placing a hand on my chest.

I pulled her closer and wrapped my arms around her. She wound her arms around my neck and kissed me.

Damn, she’s sexy as fuck.

"You have no idea how good you fucking taste." I said huskily.

"You're driving me crazy right now."

I slid a hand down to her ass and squeezed which caused her to omit a moan.

"Fuck it." she muttered.

She tugged on my towel and looked lustfully into my eyes. I removed it while she worked on her capris. Once she was out of he pants, I removed her shirt and she then unhooked her bra and threw it across the room. She reattached her lips to mine, but I stopped her before we went further by touching her panties.

“One more thing, Mrs. Gaskarth.” I whispered into her ear.

The second they were gone, she pushed me onto the bed. I pushed myself further onto the bed and pulled her on top of me. I traced a finger along her pussy and she moaned into my neck, then I added another finger and slipped inside; that’s when she proceeded to press her hips into mine.

“Alex. Fuck me.”

I growled and looked up at her. She lifted her hips and I slipped inside and she sat back down.

“Much better.” she said, returning her lips to mine.

She began moving and moaned.

“That’s such a beautiful sound.”

I gripped her hips and she started to bounce up and down on mu lap, but that didn’t last all that long when I decided to flip us over. She growled and glared at me.

“What?”

“What’d you do that for?” she said, smacking me on the shoulder.

“Because I can.”

“That’s a shit answer.”

“Abigail.”

“Alexander.”

I smirked and proceeded to attach my lips to her neck which resulted in the end of our short argument. She ran her hands through my wet hair, then I quickly pulled her legs further down and got on my knees once I pried hers apart.

“Any complaints?” I asked.

“Absolutely not.”

“You won’t mind then if I do this.”

I was close to her entrance and moving forward.

“I won’t mind at all.” she smirked.

"Perfect."

I went straight in quite forcefully and kept moving at a fast and rough pace just how Abby likes.

"Fuck Abby. I almost forgot how great you feel."

"You too."

After we came to a conclusion, I sensed that Abby didn't want to move; I couldn’t blame her, I was fine with just staying here no matter how hungry I am.

“Well... shit.” she said.

I laughed from above her.

“What?”

“I know we have dinner reservations, but I don’t wanna get up.”

I laughed again and pulled her up with both hands and to her knees, so we were both at eye level.

“You are way too cute.” I said against her lips.

She smiled.

“Ok. I have to shower then.”

“So do I... again.”

She giggled.

“You are too irresistible. As soon as you stepped into the bedroom with your wet hair and you in a towel, I simply couldn’t handle myself.”

“Because I’m just that irresistible. Aren’t I?”

“Someone’s a little full of himself. Isn’t he?”

I shrugged with a smirk.

“I’m gonna go shower now if you wouldn’t mind.”

“How about I shower again with you?”

“Just showering?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Yes.”

I was definitely tempted; it’s hard for me to keep my hands off of her.

“Good. Because I don’t want us to miss our reservation.”

“Neither do I. I’m looking forward to seeing you in a dress and heels.”

“It’ll be a new one. I’m not at my prebaby weight yet. I’m halfway there.”

“A new dress. I love the sound of that.”

She kissed me again before taking my hand and getting off the bed. After a quick and sexless shower, I grabbed my clothes and ventured off to the guest bedroom to change while Abby searched for her new dress.

“Abby?” I said, knocking on the door.

“Yeah?” she asked.

“Are you about ready? Reservation is in less than a half hour.”

“Just five minutes. Meet you downstairs.”

That amount of time passed when I heard her voice again.

“Alex?” she called out.

“Ab-“

I turned around to see her at the bottom of the stairs; my jaw slacked as I was clearly speechless.

“Hey.”

I was still speechless as I walked the short distance between us and kissed her.

“You are breathtaking.”

She blushed.

“You like?”

“I love. I don't know how I'm supposed to keep my hands off you until after dinner."

"You're just gonna have to. I'm sorry."

"No. You're not."

"You're right. I'm not. I love you, though."

"I love you, too."

We headed out the door with my arm around her waist and a hand securely on her hip. When we were in my car, the hand I had on her thigh moved upward.

“Alex, control yourself please...” she said, giving me a look.

“Or what?”

“I think you know the answer to that question.”

“Ok.” I said, slipping my hand to the steering wheel.

We walked into the restaurant while she gazed around the place and I noticed why; the sudden squeezing of my hand took me by surprise.

“It’ll be okay.” I whispered into her hair.

This went on until we were seated.

“What’s going on?” I asked.

“Didn’t you notice all those eyes? I’ve never seen anyone look at me like that and I just felt uneasy.”

“Of course I did and it’s absolutely disgusting. It makes me sick.”

“I don’t need this insecurity. I’ve never had look at me in the way all those men have... besides you.”

Before I could respond, our waitress came for our drink orders. When she left, I smirked and placed a hand on her knee.

“You’re the only one who can look at me like that.” she said.

Like there was any doubt about that.
