Baby I
"Hey. Hey. Where are you going?" Miranda asked Ben. She was in her pajamas and he was dressed casually. His blue jeans sat perfectly on his hips and he had on a nice burgundy shirt. She remembered where he was going, but something in her wanted to pull him back into bed. "You look good, hon."
"Thank you, baby."
He walked over to her side of the bed and sat down. "Have fun," she said. He kissed her forehead, then her lips and started to stand up. Grabbing his belt, she pulled him down onto the bed. Putting her lips against his Adam's apple, she whispered: "But not too much fun."
He groaned. "I promise."
Miranda let him go, expecting him to get up and walk out of the room. Instead, he kissed her lips, sliding his tongue into her mouth. She touched the back of Ben's head, deepening it. "If you keep kissing me like this," he told her between kisses and soft touches to her thigh, "I may not even go out."
"But you promised Jack and Dean that you'd go out with them."
"Okay. First off, we're not going out. We're going to a bar to hang out."
Miranda chuckled. "Sorry."
"Secondly, I'm only leaving so that I can come back to you."
"I'll be asleep."
He squeezed her leg turning her on even more. "No, no, no. Wait for me."
"I'll try," Miranda said earnestly. "But if I happen to fall asleep…"
"Yeah?"
She ran her hands along the back of his head. "Just wake me up."
He held her hand. "Or we can pretend that I already went out and I'm back now."
"Go," she said softly. "Check on the boys before you go please."
Ben nodded. "That's a given. I love you."
"Aww, baby I…" She kissed his cheek, happiness filling her. "I love you."
