Chapter 6

One day when they were in their house in Toronto, Belle had just put the baby to bed and she decided to go to the library room there to read. She had just picked out a book from the shelf, when she realized that her husband was at a table working on something.

"Oh hi dear, I hope I'm not disturbing you. I just came in to get a book." she said as she walked past with book in hand.

"Oh no Belle you're not a disturbance...not at all." Adam said as he gathered up his books.

"I'm about done here, why don't you come read to me?" he said his voice playfully husky.

"Oh you want me to read to you now? Well what if I don't want to?" Belle said a bit coyly.

"You not wanting to read you say, with a book in your hand?" he teased.

"Well maybe you wouldn't like my book?" she said.

"Ah I'll be the judge of that..." he said.

"Maybe I'll read your book to you,.."

"If you think you can, then be my guest." he says a bit exasperated.

"Oh but love I already am, a permanent guest I suppose...hahaha" she teased.

"Huh? Oh that, well you came back to me, if I remember..."

"And I wouldn't have it any other way...Anyway is this your book? Finances for the Enlighted Age..." she inquires, as she grabbed the book off the table and began to walk away.

"So dear where do you want me to read to you, you don't have much of a fireplace in here..." she inquired as she was walking away..

Suddenly Adam grabbed her hand and pulled her back toward the table and chair where he was seated.

"Hmm, how about you sit on my lap and read to me, help me figure out what some of it means." he said determinedly.

"You want me to sit on your lap and help you read your finance book? Hmmm, interesting idea, alright then." she said a bit coyly as Adam proceeded to pull her onto his lap.

She then began to read the book, although it certainly was different reading while sitting on his lap because he had to look over her shoulder to read.

Belle began to wonder how well her husband was paying attention to her reading, especially when like a schoolboy, he pulled her hair ribbon out.

"Hey why'd you do that? Are you paying attention to what I'm reading?" she asked, falsely stern.

"Oh yes I'm paying attention...I just like your hair down." he said as he played with her hair slightly.

"And I your's.." Belle said as she reached for his head, then added "But I think we should get back to business. Alright, where did we leave off?...Oh here..."

Belle continued to read aloud, though she began to truly wonder how well Adam was paying attention, especially when he pulled her hair aside and began to kiss her shoulder.

She was going to ask him what was his motivation for kissing her shoulder, when he suddenly moved on to the hollow of her neck.

"Oh now I KNOW you're not paying attention to me..." she laughed huskily.

Belle then turned her head to look back at him, and at that moment he brought his lip away from her neck, stared into her eyes for a split second, then captured her lips in an over the shoulder kiss.

When he slipped his hands around to her breasts, she said in a whispered laugh, "Hey not too hard, that's how I feed our son."

"Oh he's chubby like a piglet...and you probably have more 'an enough...can I have some?"

"WHAT? Hahaha I don't think so...Uh oh my dress...do you have a cloth?"

He reached in his desk drawer and pulled out a handkerchief, then asked, "Uh sorry about that...I'll help you wipes it off."

"Oh yeah then I'll let you have some of it!"

"Really?" he asked surprised.

"No! Ha ha, I can take of myself, thank you very much." she interrupted then began to do just that.

"Oh I was just teasing you about that, I like to tease you/" "You really should get a wet nurse..."

"I like being able to feed our baby." she interrupted.

"Ah my little provincial wife...ha hmm...if I can't tease you there, then maybe I tease you somewhere else..." he growled huskily, then began to kiss her neck and run his hands under her skirts.

When she realized what he was doing, she tried to move away a bit and laughed, "Oh- ho mister teasing like that is what got you our son, if you remember...Now I know what you had in mind when you wanted me to read to you."

"Mmm you know me all too well...and don't go, I want you for a bit for myself." he playfully and seductively growled while he tried to tease her more, letting her know what he had in mind.

"Oh do you mean to christen this library now?" she questioned huskily.

"Umm Hmmph!...When does?..."

"The baby shouldn't wake up for about another 20 minutes...30 if he's a good boy..."

"Good...our son knows how to be a good boy..."

"Unlike his father though apparently..." she laughed.

"Oh am I the bad guy now?" he asked.

"Nah you're not bad, just a little wild yet." Belle said as she turned to him.

"Oh so now you think I need to be tamed yet." he said in his best impression of his former beastly self.

"Oh who told you I didn't like you a little wild, even now. And that some of it hasn't rubbed off" she teased as she turned to him in the chair and returned his passionate kiss...and everything else.

The library was indeed christened over, though their son was fed, eventually.
