His lips felt so exhilarating. Rayna could barely think as his fingers glided slowly down her stomach and reached into the front of her panties. His lips were on the back of her neck pecking, biting and licking the bare skin. His fingers moved closer to where she wanted them to and he stopped for a second. Rayna looked at Deacon with a confused and wanting look until her slid his fingers into her wet folds without warning. He has always been skilled with his hands, Rayna thought. He removed his fingers from her core and moved to be on top of her and sat in between her spreaded legs. His mouth was hungry for hers and she pulled his head down so their lips would finally meet. His sucked on her bottom lip until she open for his tongues entry. She let out a moan which only made Deacon more hungry for her. He took his hand and slid it down her shoulder and then back up. Rayna let up for air as he stared at her with only love and need in his eyes. He moved one of his hands to grab her breasts as he pinched and played with her nipples. He slowly started to kiss down her neck.

He left a path of kisses and little love bites down her neck to her breast and slowly licked the newly irritated skin. He kissed all the way down to the top of her panty line. He looked up at her before her slid them down her long, tan legs. He moved to finish taking off her panties before sitting back in between her legs. He looked at her legs spread open in all her gloriousness. As he started to lean down she gasped, "Oh Deacon." "Ray," she heard.

She was caught up in her thoughts when she felt a sharp pain in her eyes from sunlight peeping through the window. "Ray," she heard again. She opened her eyes and saw Deacon with a big goofy grin on his face. "What are you dreaming about there Ray?" Deacon had been standing by her side of the bed and leaning over her. "Uh, nothing. Why, did I say something?" "Oh no, just wonderin." He said as he started to walk out the door with his back facing her.

He wasn't going to embarrass her and tell her that he heard her mumble his name or he heard her moan multiple times. Deacon walked into the kitchen and started to prepare coffee for Rayna and himself because he knew it was going to be a long day. He woke up around six and just stared at Rayna for almost a whole hour. He couldn't believe he was laying there with Rayna in his hands. He got up and changed his clothes. He had picked up Rayna's phone and thought it funny to do something he used to do all the time. Then he decided to try to wake Rayna up for the day.

The coffee maker started to brew the coffee as Rayna walked into the kitchen with her hair pulled up in a messy bun and no makeup. He thought she looked stunning. "I made you some coffee. Thought you could use it." "Thanks Deac. I have to go home soon before the girls start wonderin where I am." Deacon's heart panged a little with the thought of Rayna leaving. Rayna didn't want to leave him. She feels so comfortable with him, like the old Rayna. "Well at least finish your coffee and try not to spill it all over yourself again." He had a smirk come across his face and she walked over to him to slap his arm. Her hand stayed on his bicep for a moment longer that it should have and they made eye contact.

"I want you to be happy Ray." Deacon was so sincere it made her heart flutter. "I haven't been as happy as I am right now with you in a long time." She really had to leave and she didn't want to leave him again. Deacon broke the eye contact and turned around and walked to the laundry room. She followed and realized he was taking her shirt from last night out of the dryer. "I washed it last night while you were in the shower. She gave him a small smile before it faded away. "Thanks. I should get goin." Deacon just shrugged his shoulders and dropped his head. Rayna walked over to him and lifted his head with both of her hands. "Hey, we will talk later. I promise." She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his forehead.

Rayna went to Deacon's bedroom and changed back into her clothes. When she came out of the room Deacon was washing their coffee cups. She smiled and walked towards him one last time. She stood inches apart from him and reached up and gave him a hug. It was more than just a friendly hug. They embraced each other like it was the last time they had a chance to see each other. Rayna was the first to pull away and turned away and walked towards the door. She paused at the door and turned around. "I will call you tonight." Deacon smiled. "I'll be waiting."

Rayna opened the door and closed it behind her. Her heart was yelling at her to stay but she knew she had to get home before the girls woke up. She jumped in her SUV and sat there for a few seconds before turning it on. She stared at his house for a minute or two before she put the car in drive and pulled away. As she drove farther and farther away, she felt more lonely. She sped down the road until she entered the Belle Meade area.

Deacon watched out the living room window as she drove away. He knew he should do something today but he didn't know what. He didn't have rehearsal until tomorrow and all he wanted to do was to be with Rayna. He decided to get a quick shower before heading to an AA meeting. He was feeling great and alcohol was the furthest thing from his mind, however he didn't like to miss too many meetings.

As Rayna pulled into her driveway she felt her stomach tighten. She was not looking forward to seeing her husband. His face makes her sick and all she can think of is him and Peggy being together. She slowly got out of her car and walked into the house. The smell of bacon and eggs infused her nose. Teddy was on the phone when she entered the Kitchen. "Hey an we continue this later, I am cooking breakfast for the girls and Rayna just walked in." Teddy said to the person on the other end of the phone. " Yeah, you too." He said before hanging up the phone and stopped what he was doing to give Rayna an evil glare.

"Where have you been all night Rayna." Teddy wasn't shouting but he was clenching his jaw and very angry. "I was out and had a few too many to drink and was not comfortable driving." Rayna tried to avoid the fact that she was at Deacon's because she knew what he would assume. Teddy was staring at her with black eyes. "Who was on the phone?" Rayna tried to change the subject and she was pretty sure he was talking to Peggy. "Nobody that you need to know about." His tone was cold and he looked back at the eggs he had been cooking. "Where are the girls?." Rayna was tired and she didn't want to argue this morning. "They are getting ready for school. They will be down any second." Just as he said that, Daphne started darting down the stairs. "Hey sweet girl. Where is your sister?" "She is gonna be right down. She is still getting ready. She takes after you when it comes to getting ready."

"Well she sure doesn't take after her daddy." Rayna thought about Deacon as she said that and the glanced at Teddy when she realized what she had just said. Teddy didn't say anything about the last comment. "Daphne breakfast is ready. Take it to the car and Maddie and I will be right there." "Mommy isn't taking us?" Rayna was not aware she was not taking the girls but she played along anyways for the sake of her youngest. "No sweet girl I have some things to take care of this morning." Daphne just shook her head and kissed her mom on the cheek before she walked outside to the car. "Seriously, I can't even take my daughters to school now. I don't know why you keep acting this way but they are my girls too. I don't care who you think…" Just then maddie came walking down the stairs. They both glanced up and Maddie and then back at each other. "We will finish this conversation later." Teddy said before grabbing his briefcase. "Come on Maddie take your breakfast to the car. I am taking you to school today." With that Maddie grabbed her plate and walked over to Rayna and kissed her on the cheek. "Bye mom. Love you." "Love you too."

Both Maddie and Teddy walked out of the house and she was left in silence. She didn't know what to do so she pulled out her phone and dialed Deacon's number. As she called him, his picture popped up on her phone and she just started at it for a little while. She realized the phone had gone to voicemail and then hung up the phone. She had put the phone in her pocket before walking up the stairs to relax on the bed for a little while. As she was laying on the bed she took her phone back out and decided to go through all the pictures she had on her phone. As she opened her phone she had seen some new pictures had been taken. There was about ten new photos taken and they were all of Deacon. He must have taken them when she was still asleep. He had done that so many times on tour and she had almost forgotten this little tradition he had. There was one where he had his hand behind his head and his biggest smile across his face.

The next photo was of him and her sleeping next to him. She had her arm across his chest and he was looking at hr with so much love in his eyes. The third photo was a photo of him kissing her forehead and she had a small smile on her face. The next couple of photos were of their feet next to each other. The last one taken had been of him holding her hand to his heart. He had a completely happy look on his face and she smiled at the idea of being with him now. She knew he was probably busy so she sent him a text.

Across town Deacon had just gotten out of his AA meeting and took out his phone. He looked down at the missed call notification and he text message with a picture attached to it. They were both from Rayna so he opened up the text. This one is my favorite. -R. He had tapped on the picture to see that it was one that he had taken earlier that morning of him holding her hand. He decided not to respond to the text but instead call her.

"Hey there." Deacon was surprised that she had answered so quickly. "Hey Ray. What are you up to." "Nothing really. I got home and Teddy was being his usual self, so he took the girls to school and now I am home all alone with nothing to do." She didn't know what she wanted from him in that moment but she did want to be with him. "Do you want me to come over or somethin Ray?" "Could you? I know you are probably busy and if you can't that is fine, I was just won…" "I will be there in twenty minutes." Deacon just hung up then and climbed into his truck. He had no idea what he was doing. He knew going to her place is dangerous territory but he wanted her and it sounded like she wanted him too.

So here is the next part of the story. will try my best to get one up tomorrow or Tuesday. Hope you guys enjoy this story. It will get more fluffy and I don't mind Teddy's character but I think I am going to make him out as a worse person than what he really was. Hope you guys review. Thanks for everyone who has! You mean the world to me!
