Chapter 28

 

Kristen turned, facing Ethan’s side of the bed. The bed felt cold without him. It was almost two in the morning and sleep eluded her. Ethan was on her mind as she wondered what he was doing. He hadn’t called since he left that afternoon.

Hailey seemed to be handling him being absent better than she was. As promised, Ethan told her he was taking a trip and would be back in three weeks. He even left a calendar, which she would mark each morning to count down the days.

What did Kristen have? An empty bed and lonely arms were what she had. Just around this time of the night, she’d turn and snuggle up to him, liking the heat his body provided. It was now fall and the temperature was dropping quickly. The room was chilly, but when Ethan was there, they’d warm each other.

Kristen never realized just how much she was missing until she and Ethan shared a bed. When Andrew was alive, they shared the same bed but they would never cuddle. They used separate covers to keep warm and most nights their backs would be turned to each other. She never felt she was missing anything until the warmth of Ethan.

Ethan clasped his hands behind his head on the pillow while he stared up at the dark ceiling. He felt strange sleeping in his old bed. Homecoming should be a happy occasion, but for him, it brought a sour taste.

Was he wrong for trying to stop his own mother from self-destruction? What would happen if he found evidence of criminal behavior? Would he be able to turn his mother over to the authorities? He decided to make that determination if and when the time arose.

Kristen. His mouth formed her name. A slow heavy thudding of his heart accompanied a ball of heat in his belly at the thought of her. For the past couple of months, they’d spent every night together. He’d grown accustomed to her breasts pressed into his back as she hugged him from behind. If they fell asleep apart, sometime during the course of the night they’d find each other. This night, he was acutely aware of the absence of her body next to him. Her shallow breathing as she slept always relaxed him and helped him fall asleep.

Without thinking about it, he turned and reached for his cellphone on the nightstand. He was dialing her number before it dawned on him what he was doing.

“Hello?” she answered after the second ring.

His heart skipped a beat. “Why aren’t you sleeping?” he asked.

“Who says I wasn’t sleeping?”

“Okay, go back to sleep. Bye,” he grinned.

“Don’t you dare hang up that phone!” she squealed, then lowered her voice. “I can’t sleep without you.”

“Me either,” he muttered.

“What are you wearing? Wait, don’t answer that.”

He heard her giggle on the other end as she answered, “I assure you I am fully clothed.”

“Me too,” Ethan said and then stared down at his nakedness and erection. He never slept in clothes and he wasn’t about to start now. Kristen knew he was lying, but he liked the game they were playing. He pictured her in her nightshirt. At some point during sleep, the shirt would ride up over her curvy hips. She’d be wearing lace panties and he’d sometimes slip his hand into them and touch her pelvic area. She’d moan and open her eyes.

“Have you fallen asleep?” she was asking.

“I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep now, even if I tried.”

His cock was now throbbing fiercely. Ethan could not understand how his body responded to the mere thought of her. Just this afternoon they made love before he left the house. Now he was aching to bury his face between her breasts.

“Why?” her voice sounded husky and he knew she was thinking of him the same way.

“You know why.”

The line went silent and Ethan wondered if she had fallen asleep. He held the phone closer. A faint sound like a low grunt came back to him. Her breathing was light and shallow and the sounds were grunts, reminding him of when they made love.

Ethan’s entire body flushed with heat, his cock reaching its breaking point.

“What are you doing,” he growled.

Her voice came out breathy, “I’m rubbing my clit.”

Kristen put the phone on speaker. Snaking her hand into her panties, she found the flesh between her thighs. Lying on her back, she was able to raise her knees and parted her legs. Ethan’s deep sexy voice came through on the phone, making her heart flutter. His voice always gave her good chills.

From the sound of his tone, she knew he was wanting her. Hot fluid rushed from her vagina, dampening her lace panties. With little effort, she wiggled from the skimpy garment and returned her hand to where her awaiting pudenda was hot and wet.

As she touched the tip of her index finger to her clit, a thrilling sensation coursed through her. She did it again, groaning as the feeling enveloped her.

Only that afternoon Ethan’s thick shaft was massaging her walls and that memory t made her body ache all the more. Closing her eyes, she imagined him lying on his bed in the mansion, his cock sticking up in the air and him gripping it with his large hand.

“Are you sleeping?” he asked, his voice almost startling her.

“Hmm?’ she could not answer for the emotions which ran through her body. “I’m rubbing my clit.”

“Oh, God, woman, you’re nasty… so damn nasty.”

“Tell me what you’re doing,” she breathed.

He groaned into the phone. “I can’t talk now.”

“Oh God, you doing it,” she managed as she rubbed her clitoris in a circular motion, then plunged her index finger into her vagina.

She could hear Ethan hand as it made a fapping sound with his cock. The sound caused her to imagine him plunging into her depths, as her hot wet flesh closed around him. Kristen moved her hips while using her free hand to rub her nipples.

Ethan grunted a few times, then his voice became strangled as he was obviously experiencing his own release. Her entire body felt as though she was melting as her insides trembled. The explosion within ricocheted throughout her whole being. Her body spasmed, and she let out a cry which resonated through the room.

Her cries of pleasure quieted and her body slowly returned to normal. When she next listened on the phone, a light snore returned to her. She chuckled as she shut the phone off and closed her eyes. Sleep found her easily with a pleased smile gracing her face.
