Hey guys, it's Regina! Here is just a short little chapter. I promise the good stuff will come soon but this is just a move along chapter. Please review and tell me what you think! Enjoy the read!
As Rayna opened the door, she was expecting to see Deacon because she had just heard him singing in the hallway. She decided to walk through the hallway to his room to see if he had decided to go to sleep due to the fact that it was almost one in the morning. Deacon didn't even have to look to feel that Rayna had entered the room. He could immediately feel her presence as she entered the room. Rayna saw Deacon setting out some of his clothing on his bed. There was an old Bluebird Cafe t-shirt and a pair of his boxers laying out.
"I set these out for you, so when you got out of the shower," Deacon finally looked up at Rayna and realized she had only been wearing a towel that was sitting in his bathroom. Damn she looked so beautiful with her hair all wet and hanging 'round her shoulders. He couldn't help but take a sharp breath at the site of her nearly naked body. "Thank you, I found this towel. I hope you don't mind." Deacon just gave her his best grin that made Rayna's knees start to buckle and her stomach do somersaults.
Rayna walked up to the bed and picked up the t-shirt and boxers before she looked up at Deacon. "I'll just uh leave you here to get ready and make up a bed on the couch." Deacon didn't want her to feel uncomfortable and he didn't want to cross a line that they had been dancing on for the past ten years of her marriage. " Deacon please, this is your house and you should sleep on your own bed. I can sleep on the couch, this is my fault that I'm here anyways."
"There is no way in hell I'm going to let you sleep on that ol' couch. You are a guest and I am gonna treat you as such." Deacon went to leave and rayna went to reach for his arm. As rayna reached out, she had accidentally let go of her towel and it had fallen to the ground. Deacon had looked at the ground and then slowly raised his eyes back up her perfect and slender frame. His eyes had stopped at her perfectly shaped breasts and then went back up to her eyes. The huge gulp that came from the back of Deacon's throat had not gone unnoticed by Rayna. Rayna stood there for a few extra moments than she should have just staring into the eyes of the love of her life. Deacon walked up slowly to Rayna and bent down to his knee very slowly not one losing eye contact with Rayna. He picked up her towel and wrapped it around her and tuck it right next to her right boob.
"I better go make that bed." Deacon had turned once again to leave the room. He had reached the door when her voice had stopped him in his tracks. "No stay," she had said no louder than a whisper. At first Deacon had thought he imagined it until he turned around and saw a pleading look in her eyes. "Ray, I.." Deacon had stopped talking when Rayna had turned her back to him and dropped her towel and this time it was on purpose. His throat had caught his breath and the words he was going to say were lost to him. Her bare back and butt were enough to make him lose his train of thought.
Rayna could tell she had his attention so she decided to take her time getting dressed. She had put on a show while putting on the boxers. She shimmied her hips a little more than necessary knowing that his eyes were glued to her. Rayna knew she shouldn't be acting this way but she still wasn't 100% sober and she couldn't help but indulge in a little pleasure married or not. Once Rayna was fully dressed she turned back around to face him. His jaw was slightly open and his eyes were wide. "Sleep in here, we can sleep together. I mean we can sleep next to each other, uh I mean uhhhhh." Rayna was having a hard time saying the right words because all she could see was the want Deacon had in his eyes.
"Alright Ray if that is what you want then I'll sleep in here with you." Rayna didn't need to ask twice and Deacon knew it would be hard to say no to her even if he didn't want to sleep next to her, but the best sleep he ever gets is when she is in his arms. " I uh, I better go make sure the door is locked and everything and you make yourself comfortable." Deacon left to lock the door and turn off the lights while Rayna got into bed. She always slept on the right side of the bed when she was with him, but for some odd reason it seemed to her that he had been sleeping on the right side of his bed. His pillow was on the right side and the left side looked as if it had been vacant for years.
Deacon finally returned and noticed Rayna was on her knees in the middle of his bed, obviously she was conflicted about something and he didn't know what. "Is something wrong Ray?" "Well I usually sleep on the right side but it seems like you have been sleeping in it lately. Deacon had always slept on the left side when Rayna was there, but when she wasn't there he felt like nobody else belonged to the right side of his bed. It was always her side and he had slept on the right side to feel like she was with him even if she wasn't.
"The right side is always your side Ray." She felt her heart swell as he said that with nothing but honesty behind his voice. Rayna snuggled into the right side of his bed and patted the left side as if she were telling Deacon to hop on in. Deacon followed her orders and got into the left side and embraced the heat from his blankets. They laid there for a while staring at the ceiling until Rayna turned to him. "I miss this." She was so sincere and sad that it broke Deacon's heart. Rayna turned so that her back was facing Deacon and slid towards him. Once they were close enough to not be able to tell where one body starts and the other one ends, Rayna grabbed Deacon's hand and wrapped it around her waist like he used to hold her when they were still together.
They both dozed off almost immediately after Deacon held Rayna in his arms. As Rayna drifted to sleep all she could think about was Deacon. Deacon couldn't believe he was holding his angel. He was caught up in the smell of her hair and the feel of her skin that he fell right to sleep knowing that in the morning he would still have his Rayna is his arms.
tbc..
