Chapter 3

The soft morning light filtered its way through the curtains in the cabin's bedroom. Jed rolled over, laying his arm over Abbey's softly rising chest. "Abbey," he whispered. "Are you asleep?"

"Mmmm."

"Abbey, are you asleep?" He leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss on her cheek even as his hand found its way over her pajama covered chest.

"I was," as she groaned and opened one eye to see Jed looking at her. "What do you want?"

"Guess." He smiled as his hand moved down her body.

"Ugh." She made an effort to turn her back to him but was stopped by the force of his hands on her arms.

"No. You know exactly what I want. Here, feel." He placed her left hand over his growing bulge.

"Jed, I told you last night no sex with the children here." She shook her head, inwardly smiling at his persistence.

"I know. But I've been thinking about it all night. And now it's urgent. Our kids never stopped us."

"That's different. We were a busy couple and had to grab it whenever we could. Now we're a busy couple but we at least have some time to pursue 'recreational' activities. Beside, my special garments are back at the White House."

"You don't need a special garment for what I have in mind. In fact," as he reached to open the buttons on her top, "you don't need any garments at all."

Swatting at his hand, Abbey grunted and turned away. "No, Jed. The children will be awake any minute and they might surprise us. Not now."

Jed groaned and lay back on the bed. He watched his wife as she threw the covers off her side and sat up, her back facing him. "I love you, Abbey."

Abbey gave a small laugh. "Jed, you're not going to get any. Not this weekend. Now you need to get up and get dressed. Get your briefing and then come to the kitchen. I'll have breakfast ready."

She came around the bed and leaned down to place a quick kiss on her husband's lips. Jed quickly grabbed her arm and brought her down to the bed, pulling her over him to lie back in the exact same spot she had just abandoned. "Jed! Quit that. The children…"

His urgent lips quickly cut off anything she was about to say. After a deep kiss, he moved his lips to nibble on her neck. His hands quickly undid the buttons of her shirt and soon his hands were free to roam over her breasts and quickly hardening nipples.

"Jed…." was all she could respond, her breath coming faster as her excitement grew.

He pulled back from her face and smiled. "I always get what I want and I want you, hot pants."

Another deep kiss blocked Abbey's answer.
