Prompt No.11 : XO

The young woman's eyes fluttered open slowly as she stretched her body languidly in bed. It felt good to wake up on her own, no crying baby or snoring husband to snap her out of slumber. Everyone was sleeping soundly for once. A welcome gift of silence.

She slowly turned to lay on her side, feeling her full breasts, heavy and swollen. Baby would be awake soon. She listened to her husband's slow breathing as he slept, watching the duvet go up with each exhale.

His back was towards her and she slowly slid her body closer to his, melding their figures together. She draped her arm around his body, placing her hand on his chest, right over his heart. She could feel each relaxed heartbeat as he slept, still unaware of her presence.

The woman placed her face against the nape of her husband's neck and inhaled deeply. He smelled warm and musky. It was a good smell. One that made her feel comforted and safe. She sighed softly in contentment.

He suddenly came awake and put his hand over hers, "Mmmmm?'

She laughed huskily, "Baby will be awake soon..."

He scooted closer, his back grazing against her breasts. She felt her nipples harden under her thin grey cotton tee. He was still suddenly, "Did you just spill water on my back?"

The woman, confused, looked down and saw two dark, damp circles forming on her shirt, "Damn."

On cue, they heard baby cry out from the other room.

They both laughed softly. The woman, still hugging her husband tight, leaned in to kiss the nape of his neck, "Maybe next time, yes?"

He reached behind and pulled her over him so that she was wrapped in his arms.

"Definitely," he said as he kissed her.
