Chapter 28

Kahlan studied Hotch for a few seconds more. "Lay down on your stomach," she told him as she pulled him towards the bed.

"My stomach?"

She sighed. "You're too tense. You need to relax first."

"Ok," he told her and laid down.

She started her massage with his feet and made her way up his legs. "Damn, Hun, you are really tense," she offered as she started in on his lower back.

"This feels really good, though."

Once she was done with his back and neck she pinched his butt.

"Hey!"

She giggled. "Roll over." He did and she wrapped her hands around the back of his head.

He quickly pulled her hands away. "I don't want to go to sleep!"

She shook her head. "Let me do this, please."

"But. . ."

"If you fall asleep, I will wake you up," she assured him with a sly grin.

He finally let go of her wrists. "Oh. Ok."

She continued her massage, but she knew he was resisting her. "Either let me do this or I will stop," she told him as she locked eyes with him. He licked his lips. "Trust me," she told him softly. He nodded and closed his eyes and gave himself over to her completely. "There you go," she told him as his neck muscles finally relaxed completely. "How's that feeling?" she asked as her hands shifted position. All he did was hum something as he smiled. She giggled and let his head rest on the pillow.

She moved down his chest, hitting several points and she could see his whole body finally relaxing completely. "You still with me?"

"Uh-huh," he offered quietly.

She smiled and started in on his pleasure points. A soft moan escaped him as ripples of pleasure ran through him, and his manhood twitched and grew a little. She started stroking him with one hand and hit one of his favorite spots with the other. Even with his eyes closed, she could tell his eyes were rolling back as his back arched up off the bed and goose bumps went down his legs.

"God, Babe!" he exclaimed and reached out and ran his hands through her hair.

She giggled and then took him into her mouth. A gasp escaped him as his legs tensed. Once he was basically hard, she released him and sat up. "You ready for this?"

He swallowed hard and licked his lips. "Yes!"

She giggled and then mounted him. They both let out moans of pleasure as she slid down him slowly. She rode him up and down as he closed his eyes and pressed his shoulders into the bed and started thrusting against her. "Ohhh, Babe!"

She leaned down and gave him a lustful kiss and he reached up and pulled her head to him to deepen the kiss even more as she continued to ride him. Once she pulled away, he flinched as the images came back in full force. No! Damn it, Hotchner, focus on your wife! No matter how hard he tried, though, the images wouldn't leave.

Kahlan noticed his eyes were squeezed shut again and she put a hand on his chest lightly. "Hun?"

He raised his head, but as soon as he opened his eyes to look at her, he went soft. He turned away from her and his head fell back in defeat.

She got off of him and sat down next to him. "Aaron?"

He shook his head and rolled over on his side. "Just forget it. I'll go to the damn doctor."

She shook her head slowly as she studied him for a few moments and then pulled on his shoulder and made him roll back over so she could see his face. Tears were trickling down his cheeks and his lower lip was trembling, and her chest tightened to see him so distraught. "Oh, Hun!"

"I'm sorry, Kahlan. I don't know what's wrong with me."

"What were you thinking about?"

He sat up. "What?"

She shook her head. "Really, Aaron? It was obvious that you were thinking about something, and that something made you lose it."

He looked down at his lap as he shook his head.

She pulled on his chin to make him look at her. "I can't help if you don't tell me."

He bit his lip as his eyes cut to the side. "It's embarrassing."

She let him go and smiled. "We're married; nothing can be embarrassing between us."

He huffed. "Well, it is for me."

"Getting you ready physically isn't the problem, it's keeping you there, and whatever you're thinking about is stopping that. Tell me."

He licked his lips, took a deep breath, and then got up. He took a couple steps away from her. "I've been having dreams."

She turned toward him but didn't get up so he could have his space. "Dreams?"

He swallowed hard. "Erotic dreams."

Her eyes went wide with surprise. "Exactly how erotic?"

He huffed. "It culminated in a wet dream."

She actually chuckled and got up and put a hand on his shoulder. "Damn, Hun. What? Have you raised the bar on our sexual experiences so far in your dreams that I can't reach it in real life?"

He turned to her with his brows furrowed. "No, or at least I don't think so. I can't remember them completely."

She chuckled again. "It's alright, Hun. You just need to let the dreams go and you'll be fine."

He put his hands on her shoulders. "You promised you would do this. Just because the first time failed doesn't mean we can't try again."

She studied him. "Just because I can get you hard doesn't mean you'll stay that way, Hun. You're putting too much pressure on yourself."

He let go of her and then turned away from her. After a few heart beats he turned back to her quickly. "You can do what you did to me when you had me tied up."

"That's a little extreme, don't you think?" She put a hand on the side of his face. "Forget about it. You'll be ready eventually."

He put his hands on her shoulders again. "No! I need to make love to you! Please, Babe!"

She stepped back from him as her brows furrowed. Her head tilted as she studied him, and he sighed heavily and look away from her as he realized what he had said. Damn it!

She reached up and made him look at her again. "The dreams aren't about me, are they?"

His eyes closed as he pulled away from her and looked at the floor.

"What? Have you been watching TV and found some hot actress that you're dreaming about?"

He shook his head as he chewed on his bottom lip, still not looking at her.

She put a light hand on his shoulder. "Who, Aaron?"

He choked back a sob. "Haley," he told her quietly.

She pulled her hand back quickly. "Haley?" she shook her head in disbelief. "But I thought sex with her was pretty straight forward."

He finally looked at her. "It was. I don't know why I'm dreaming about her like that," he told her desperately.

She took a deep breath. "So you're having visions of her while you're trying to make love to me and it's bothering you so much that you lose it?"

He hung his head in humiliation as he shook his head slowly. "Yeah, I guess."

She lifted his chin and gave him a small smile. "You can't control what you dream about, Aaron. Maybe if you stop letting it bother you emotionally so much, it won't bother you physically."

He searched her face. "It doesn't make you mad?"

She sighed heavily. "How can I be mad at your dreams? It's just like when my dreams were bothering me so much. You just have to figure out how to get past them."

He took a deep breath. "That's why I want to do this so badly."

She smiled. "You think that if you force yourself to have sex with me it will stop the dreams?"

"It sounds really wrong when you say it like that," he told her as he looked at the floor again.

She laughed. "Yeah, I guess it did. Sorry."

"No. I'm the one who's sorry." He took a couple steps away from her. "I don't like having dreams like that, and I definitely don't like not being able to make love to you!"

She took a deep breath. "There could still be something underlying." He turned back to her. "But if the deal is still on, I'll get you over this."

He didn't hide his shock. "Really?"

She pulled him to her and put her hands around his neck. "I want to make love to you, too."

He smiled. "Then, by all means," he started, pulled away from her, and then jumped to the bed and landed on his back. "Have your way with me."

She giggled her evil giggle. "Ohhhh, you shouldn't have said that!" she teased and joined him on the bed. She pulled his legs apart. "Now be still and relax."

He sucked in a breath. "But I don't want to just cum, Babe. I want to make love to you," he told quickly knowing what she was about to do.

"Yeah, but if we can get you past that point, then the next time might last longer."

He nodded as he thought about it. "Ok."

She caressed him and pulled him up with one hand as her other fingers dug into him. He flinched and grunted. She looked at his face and it was scrunched up. "Does that hurt?" she asked quickly as she held her fingers still.

"No," he told her as he shook his head.

"Aaron! Does it hurt worse than when I did it at the castle?"

He sighed. "A little," is all he offered.

She licked her lips as she moved her fingers some more, but she never took her focus off of his face. He didn't let any sounds escape him, but he didn't hide the winces well enough and she stopped. "Your prostate is enlarged, Aaron."

He leaned up on his elbows and he could see the concern on her face. "Yeah, but that could be from all the problems I'm having, right?"

Her brows furrowed in thought. "Maybe."

"He'll check that as part of my physical," he offered.

"Yeah, but I think. . ."

"Please, Babe!" he asked with puppy dog eyes.

She took a deep breath as she shook her head slowly. "Fine, but I get to amend the deal."

He sat up completely. "How?" he asked suspiciously.

"That when I get your appointment, it doesn't matter if you're on a case, how bad it is, or where it is. You have to be here to go to it no matter what," she told him seriously.

He could tell by her tone that there wasn't any room argument. "Promise!"

She searched his face for a few seconds.

"And I will not break another promise," he assured her.

She finally relaxed. "Alright." She smiled. "Lay down you big baby."

He chuckled and did as he was told.

He wasn't sure how long it took, but eventually he was hard as a rock and quivering with desire.

"You want me to take you over the edge now, or do you want to try and participate?"

He answered her by rolling them over roughly. "Oh, I want to participate!" he told her as he spread her legs apart with his knee.

She smiled at him. "Then, by all means, have your way with me."

He chuckled and thrusted into her slowly. His back arched with pleasure. "God, Babe. You are so tight."

"It's been a while," she offered as she thrusted against him and dug her nails into his back.

He thrusted slowly as pleasure ripped through him. She met every thrust to bring him in deeper and before long they were both panting with the effort. She felt him trying to go faster, but his arms were quivering with the strain, so she rolled them over and mounted him. "You relax and enjoy this," she told him softly and then leaned down to kiss him. After a few minutes, she noticed he was smiling, and his eyes were locked on hers. "You are thinking about me, right?"

"Ohhhh yyeeaahhh," he breathed as he reached up and caressed her breasts.

She smiled and rode him faster. Once she realized he was close, she clenched her muscles around him and he groaned in pleasure as he grabbed her hips and tried to get her to go faster. She obeyed and they went over the edge in an eruption of fluid driven ecstasy and rode the aftershocks together until she collapsed on top of him.

She laid on his chest sweating and panting from the effort and he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him. "That was amazing, Babe."

She chuckled. "I think I need another shower."

"I think I need a Gatorade," he laughed.

She looked at the alarm clock; it was almost three. "Damn. You are going to be tired tomorrow," she told him as she looked up at him.

He smiled. "I don't care. That was well worth it." He pulled her up and looked her in the eyes. "Thank you," he told her.

The earnestness in his voice made her heart swell. "Well, I don't know if it was me or you finally confessing about your dreams, but I am glad," she told him and then gave him a kiss.

He hugged her tightly as he sighed contently. "Do we have to get up?"

"Nope," she told him and snuggled down next to him. "Hit the light."

He chuckled. "Yes, Ma'am." He turned the light off, threw the covers over them, and they fell asleep in their normal position; he still had a smile on his face.
