~ "I still don't see why I have to learn this stupid game." Ariadne said looking over the hand of cards that still made almost no sense to her.
"It's very important for a woman to learn how to play poker. So she won't end up naked someday." Arthur said looking over his cards with a scowl.
"A little too late." Ariadne said opening her arms to reveal she was wearing nothing more then black panties. Arthur chuckled.
"Strip poker is the best way to learn, Beautiful. Besides, women look better naked then men." He said trying not to look at the work of art that was her body.
"Well, that I do agree with." Ariadne said casually holding her cards over her chest. Blocking her breasts from his view with little effort. They were camped out once more on her bed, hardly leaving it these days.
Arthur smiled.
"I still don't see why we can't just play strip Jeopardy again." She said rearranging her cards.
"Because you literally beat the pants off me." Arthur retorted his face burning from the memory.
Ariadne hid a little smile. She was leaning fast at poker too. Already, the once well dressed Point Man was without shoes, socks, tie, jacket and vest.
She had to win the next few rounds now or risk total nakedness.
"Your just a sore loser." Ariadne grumbled as she knew she had a winning hand. Arthur had no poker face. "You lost at strip Monopoly too."
"I've always been really good at Monopoly. You distracted me." He accused casting a longing look at her half concealed body.
"Not my fault I had to get up and stretch after I landed on you property." She said innocently.
"Well, it was very hard to stay focused on the game after all that... stretching." Arthur grumbled. "Alright, I call." he said confidently.
Ariadne shrugged and laid her hand out. Arthur's face fell.
"Oh, did I win again?" She said with mock sweetness.
Arthur gave her a livid look as he popped the cufflinks off his shirt.
"Go slow this time." She said reclining on her side of the bed. Watching her lover shed his shirt.
"I think it's time we find a new game." Arthur said. An angry look in his eye as she smiled confidently at him.
~ Ariadne had finally stolen a few moments away from Arthur after she went food shopping. It was hard to escape him lately. The Point Man could be a demanding lover at times. When they were not with Cobb and the rest of the Team, Arthur wanted her in bed with him.
Working hard to win their bet.
His lust was only stilled when it was time to eat or when sleep took him for a few hours. Ariadne could not attribute all of their pleasurable actives to the hormones. She had never felt this way about a man before. The way he touched her, the way she wanted him to touch her. It was like she could never have enough. That she was turning into some kind of nymphomaniac.
She had no idea she would want or need sex this much. She never wanted to be without it or him again.
"Dinner will be ready in a little while." She said as Arthur was engrossed in his research. His laptop and files spread out on her dinning room table.
She was thankful that this latest Extraction job had diverted the Point Man's attention for a while. For over a month, they had been inseparable. Rarely talking about anything but their potential conception. Ariadne had been disappointed when her period arrived a few weeks into their arrangement.
Arthur seemed unfazed and just took it as another reason to try harder. He seemed so confident that they would become pregnant very soon. Ariadne was starting to have her doubts. She felt somehow it should have happened already. Maybe Doctor Cook was wrong and she couldn't get pregnant. She briefly wondered if Arthur would want to stay with her if she couldn't have a baby. He seemed so excited by the idea. Their talk about what kind of parents they wanted to be late into the night.
~ She closed herself in her little bathroom and took out a discreet brown bag that she had bought.
Her cycle was two days late. She hadn't felt any cramps or signs that she should expect it. Barely a month and a half into their arrangement, she dared not hope.
She waited impatiently while sitting on the edge of her bathtub. The little test taking excruciatingly long.
~ It had been a long day working with Cobb and the rest of the Team. Arthur could feel the dull thud of a headache start to move over him. He could smell Ariadne cooking dinner. A delightful smell of chicken and sizzling onions.
"Smells good." He called out as his stomach gave a growl. He had been so distracted with this new job that he had barely given her a glance when he came home.
'Have to make it up to her tonight.' He thought to himself. The Point Man not able to stop a smile coming to his mouth.
"Arthur?" Ariadne said as Arthur closed his laptop. He stood and started to clear the table of paper work.
"Yes?" He said with a smile as he stooped to kiss her cheek. His long arms reaching for two dishes as he started to set the table.
"If I don't get pregnant, if you lose our bet, would you still want to stay? I mean, with me?" She asked. He sweet face looking worried.
Arthur made sure the plates were safely set on the table before he stood up straighter and gave her a hard look.
"I mean, it's just that it's been almost 2 months now." She said looking at her hands.
"I wasn't planning on leaving." He said simply. "Do you want me to leave?"
"No." She said in surprise. "No, I don't want you to leave."
"If we lose our bet, we lose our bet." Arthur said with a shrug. "We can keep trying if you want."
"Do you want to keep trying? I mean, now that you've had more time to think about it." She asked gently. Her big eyes flickering to him and looking down at her hands again.
"I would like to." He said. Trying to sound casual. "I would like to stay here, with you. Keep trying."
"What if we can't get pregnant?" She asked softly. Not daring to look at him.
The Point Man had been moving closer to her as they talked. Inch by careful inch. Like he was afraid of scaring her.
"Then... we can't get pregnant. There are other ways we can get a baby. There are other ways to make you a mother. If we have to go the artificial insemination rout, then we have to. If we have to adopt, then we have that option to." He said. His face honest and soft.
Ariadne wanted to smile at him. Wanted to let him comfort her.
"If, we did have a baby, would you want to stay? With us?" She asked not looking at him.
"Try and keep me away." He said with a laugh. His large hand reaching out for hers.
"Ariadne, just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. I know it will happen." He said. His voice soft but strong. Like he was comforting a small child. Reassuring her against her own doubts.
"Whatever happens, we can face it together." He said pulling her hand to him. Kissing her fingers.
"Were pregnant." She said at last. Her eyes finally landing on him. A grin blooming over her face.
Arthur looked confused for a second.
"What?" He asked as a large toothy smile broke his stern expression. She shrugged and looked innocent. "Your pregnant? Now?" He asked in disbelief.
"Yes, now." She said with a laugh.
"Wow." He said with a wide grin. His eyes crinkling. "So... um... what was all that 'what if' talk about not getting pregnant?" He asked.
"I had to make sure you wanted to be with me, no matter what." She said with a shrug. Her hand going to his neck tie and readjusting it.
"You already knew that." Arthur said pulling he closer to him.
"Alright, I did." She said. Unable to stop her own smile. "Girl has to get her fun where she can."
"This is good news." He said with a nod as he started kissing her.
"Is it now?" She asked.
"Yes. Means I win our bet."
Sorry it took me so long to post you guys. I was reading "Fifty Shades of Grey" Check it out. It's pretty good BDSM Erotica. Started out at "Twilight" Fan-Fic and now it's this crazy best seller. Makes me have something to shoot for. I've been reading it at work, instead of working, and thank God I have a Nook (e-reader) cuz it's a racy story.
A lot of people have messaged me after reading "Don't Read This Story" asking if or why I don't like "Twilight". Well to be clear, I do not like "Twilight". I say this as someone how has read the books and seen the movies.
Mainly because I feel Edward is very controlling. He doesn't want her to have friends outside of himself and his family. It's all about him. What she has to give up for him. Of her changing for him. He controls her even to the point of messing with her truck so she can't see her friend and calls it protecting her. When in reality, it's just his own jealousy.
I think it's really bad that Bella and Edward are this ideal of what love is supposed to look like.
Love is not about controlling the other person. That is not how you know someone loves you. Love is about cherishing the other person.
Twilight is in NO WAY an apt form of "Pride & Prejudice". Darcy never controlled Lizzy and Lizzy didn't take any crap off Darcy.
One of the reasons I love "Inception" so much is because they treat Ariadne like an equal. That Nolan wrote Ariadne as being smart and vital to the team. Not someone who is just there as a romantic interest. He wisely left that to fan-fic wirters.
People have also asked me if I base my erotica on my husband. We have been married almost 11 years now. He wishes I based sexy erotica on him. LOL.
By the way, if your looking for a really good Erotica about BDSM, please check out "Accidental Slave" by Clair Thompson. A "Peaches and Roses" kind of story.
