Page 160 of Tell Me What You Want, Or Leave Me

Eric looks at me. I smile, and then the boy kisses me and runs to his uncle.

“I promise I’ll pay attention to everything Aunt Marta says...Dad.”

I laugh. My grumpy Smurf is pretty smart.

In the end, my Iceman defrosts. He smiles, hugs the boy, and kisses him on the head.

“Have fun,” he says, then turns to his sister. “Please keep an eye on him; be careful. I don’t want anything to happen.”

Amused, Marta rolls her eyes.

“C’mon, Flyn. Let me put a collar and leash on you.”

When everyone finally leaves the bathroom, I lie back in the Jacuzzi. I close my eyes again and try to relax.

A little music...

A little calm...

I’m almost there when the door opens again. Eric. Again. Before he can say anything, I try to reassure him.

“Nothing’s going to happen, honey. Marta takes good care of Flyn.”

My guy doesn’t answer, but he comes up to the Jacuzzi. He’s looking at my nipples. With my pregnancy, they’ve gotten dark and huge and tempting.

“Do you want to give me a little kiss here?” I ask as I point to my nipple.

Eric leans down, and I yank him, fully dressed, into the Jacuzzi. The water overflows, and the entire bathroom floods. I laugh, and he goes to protest, then cracks up too.

But he grimaces when he gets near one of the lit candles.

“Did you burn yourself?” I ask, concerned.

Eric examines his hand.

“No, sweetheart, but be careful with so many candles, or we’ll end up with a visit from the fire department.”

That makes me laugh. I finally manage to take off his clothes and leave him naked in the Jacuzzi despite his protests. I get out of the water, and, being careful not to slip on the wet floor, I throw down about two hundred towels and stomp all over them.

“I have a surprise for you.”

“A surprise?”

I nod and open the door.

“Give me two minutes and don’t move.”

Happy to find myself feeling so much better, I go to the closet where Marta left the little blue dress! I’m going to surprise him!

I put on the firefighter’s outfit, though it’s a little big on me, and go back to the bathroom, where I see my favorite German’s surprised face.

“Did the gentleman call the fire department?”

Eric laughs.

“Where did you get that?”

“A friend of your sister’s left it for me.”
