Dallas, Texas

Awaking early on Wednesday morning, five days after returning to Southfork, Sue Ellen sighed to herself as she slid out of bed and walked into the bathroom. She was looking forward to having a baby and for the most part, her pregnancy had been going well and had been medically normal, however, she was ready to be done with the side effects. Her food aversions and mood swings had tapered off after the first trimester, but now, in the middle of her second trimester, she was full into the period of steady weight gain and the constant need to use the bathroom, two things that were both annoying and somewhat unpleasant. There were two more 'symptoms' that she had, however, they weren't necessarily bad things and she didn't dislike them the way she disliked the rest of the pregnancy side effects. Her anger and upset with JR over the past few weeks had temporarily quelled the desire she felt for him, but now that she was back on good terms with him and they were trying to start anew, she found herself wanting him more, more passionately and more frequently. Luckily for her, JR had no problem helping her fulfil those desires, especially since he had also been without companionship for weeks and had a few pent-up frustrations of his own. Much to her surprise, in the areas that she self-consciously saw herself as a little bloated and chubby, JR saw her as womanly and sexy, reassuring her and showing her that he especially enjoyed her new curves. He never verbalised it, but she knew that he was glad that her growing belly gave him a legitimate excuse to ask her to try different positions and techniques, because, for some reason, it simply wasn't enough for her to just assure him that he wasn't hurting her and that she wanted to try new things with him. She knew that they probably needed to work on their communication a little more, because her words weren't getting through to him the way she intended them to, however, she decided that it could wait for a little while, because things really weren't bad at all, they were simply different to how she had originally envisioned. Returning to bed, she gently lay back down next to JR and closed her eyes, it was only 5.30am, they didn't have to be up for another hour and a half, so logically, sleeping for a little longer seemed like a good idea. However, just because something was logical didn't mean that it was what happened, and after half an hour of tossing and turning, she finally gave up trying to sleep, instead, turning to face her husband and watching him as he slept, her third favourite thing to do when they were in bed together.

Resting in the realm between sleep and full consciousness, JR was somewhat aware of his wife's presence and actions; he could sense her tossing and turning and then her eventual watchfulness, and somewhere in his subconscious, he found himself drawn to her. "Sue Ellen", his words were faint and spoken sleepily and they made Sue Ellen smile, but as soon as he reached out to touch her, she found herself wanting more than to just watch him sleep, she wanted him. Kissing his cheek, neck and then moving down his shoulder and chest, Sue Ellen gently roused him out of his sleep, and catching him with his guard lowered and his excitement heightened, she made her move. The old Sue Ellen never would have done something like this, she was always a follower and never a leader in the bedroom, or anywhere else really, however with the recent developments and the understanding she and JR now had, she made a decision to be a little bolder this morning and make moves toward what she wanted. Disappearing under the covers and putting into practice everything she had read in magazines and had learned from her discussions with Paula, Sue Ellen quickly had JR's full, waking attention, and if the sounds escaping his mouth were anything to go by, she wasn't doing a bad job, especially not for her first time.

Finding himself awake and aroused, JR's mind moved quickly through a number of thoughts. First he was confused, because he rarely spent the whole night with women, so waking up like this was a novelty; then he was mistaken about his location, because if he did spend the night with a woman, then it was usually Julie, however, the way she performed was slightly different to what he was experiencing right now. Then, finally, as he fully awoke and realised that he was in his bedroom at Southfork and it was his wife beneath the covers, he didn't know what to think, though his mind was quickly made up. Very briefly, he felt that it was an action beneath her and it wasn't right for her to be doing that; then he felt a little guilty for allowing her to do such a thing and allowing himself to enjoy that she was. However, he soon remembered the context of her actions and the recent vows they'd made to try to improve their marriage; she was trying to be more open and daring and he needed to be an equal participant for that to work. It wasn't too difficult to do that though, not now that she was in the midst of trying her hardest to please him. Only moments after his train of thoughts passed through his mind at rapid speed, he discarded his prudish beliefs in favour of more current thoughts, ones that were not concerned about who was giving him pleasure or what preconceived notions he had about her, just that he was very much enjoying her actions.

Roughly and quickly throwing the covers back so that he could watch her, he found himself temporarily speechless at the sight of his wife. As much as he'd thought of her as a lady when they were dating, he couldn't honestly say he hadn't had this exact fantasy a million times before, and now, here she was, willingly doing this for him and looking incredibly sexy as she did. At first, Sue Ellen wasn't entirely sure what she was doing, because in this aspect, she was a virgin; so she was glad that she remembered as much as she did and was able to try to do the things she was 'supposed' to do. However, she eventually found herself abandoning the 'should' of the situation, instead, readjusting her actions according to the various sounds and facial expressions her husband made and not simply following whatever mental plan she had thought up prior to actually putting her thoughts into action. As her mouth tired and she grew more selfish in her own desires, she made an executive decision, she was the one that had started it, so technically, she was the one in control, and what she wanted was a little satisfaction of her own. Giving a final little bit of attention to her current task, she slowly made her way back up, kissing, touching and nibbling at various parts of his body, all the way back to his lips; "my-god you're sexy", JR barely had time to compliment her before she kissed him and then readjusted her position, causing him to groan. Rarely did he enjoy being the one that wasn't in control of the situation, but right now, he couldn't wait to see where she was taking them, because if the past few days were any indication, he would be a very satisfied man soon.

"Are you sure you've never done that before?" JR sighed contentedly to himself, pulled her closer to him and kissing her before simply holding her against him, gently stroking her hair with his fingers. He was in awe of her talents and desperately wanted to be the only man that had and would ever experience that side of her. However, the jealous part of his personality told him that she was too good to be true and that if she had tried to do that when they were dating, then she had probably done it with her other boyfriends too. Visualising his Sue Ellen in that position with Clint Ogden or Billy Frampton was enough for him to want to throw up; she was his and only his and even if she had been with those men before she had even met him, he still felt entitled to all of her. Sue Ellen heard his comment and wasn't sure whether to be offended or flattered; she wanted to think that he meant it as a compliment, but a big part of her knew that he was honestly questioning her and didn't necessarily believe that he was her first. "JR!" she quickly sat up so that she could look straight at him, "you are the only man I have and will ever do that for", she sounded hurt as she spoke and he suddenly felt bad for breaking her good mood. "I did what I did because I love you and I wanted to please you", she looked down at the sheets, not wanting to make eye contact as she spoke her final sentence, "were… were you pleased?" She genuinely seemed upset by his words and all of a sudden, he felt incredibly guilty, she had honestly had good intentions and they had both enjoyed her actions, up until the point where he ruined it with his idiotic comment. "Of course I was pleased darlin'. I love you and I love that we're able to do things like that", pulling her back down to him, he kissed her more passionately than he had just moments ago, "I'm sorry for upsetting you. I believe you and I'm very grateful to you for wanting to please me", he looked her in the eye as he spoke and hoped that his comments appeared sincere, because it honestly hadn't been his intention to upset her, the words had just slipped out. Listening to his words, she smiled, "thank you", she gave him a quick kiss to show him that she wasn't upset with him and then she snuggled back down in bed, content to just lay in his arms until they absolutely had to get up. Ordinarily she hated waking up early, but in situations like this, it was completely worth it.
