She was exhausted. She had been watching Katie almost full time since brock went back to working full time hours. Brock was due any minute to pick her up and she needed a nap. She was 3 months old now. The baby was beginning to be more aware of her surroundings and would cry every time Reba left the room. When she heard the door open she sighed.

"Reba. It's me."

"Brock. Im in the living room."

"Theres my Katie girl." He reach out for Katie and she cooed as he settled her in his arms. When the baby turned its head she began to reach her hands for Reba. Brock began to bounce her. It was getting harder and harder for him to take her from Reba's as she wanted to be there 24/7. When the baby began to cry Reba's heart broke.

"Hand her back Brock." She picked the baby up from his arms and held her. She instantly quit crying.

"It's ok Katie. I got you. You have to go home with daddy baby. I'll see you tomorrow though."

"Reba it's getting harder now. It's like you two have bonded. She cries all night when your not there."

" Maybe it's not that."

"Reba. She held her hands out for you. She loves you."

"Yeah well what happens when you get a new wife. She'll have to get to her."

"I'm not getting a new wife Reba. I don't have time for dating. Besides, who would want to marry a single dad." They hadn't spoken about there encounter but he hadn't forgot it either. He had tried to throw her hints but either she ignored him or it went over her head. "We really need to head home. I want to get her settled before it gets late and I know she'll cry till we get home."

"Yeah. "She smiled at Katie one last time before placing her in the car seat. She buckled her in and handed Brock the diaper bag.

"Thanks Reba. I really appreciate it. " he leaned over placing a soft kiss on her cheek. She longed for him to kiss her but she was too stubborn to admit it. She had their encounter on her mind most of the time trying to figure out why they did what they did and only came to one conclusion. She wanted him.

"Your welcome Brock. Maybe you two can come spend the weekend here. Tomorrow is Friday and I know you need rest too. It will be easier with both of us taking turns."

"Thatd be great. Pizza and a movie?"

" you read my mind. Although instead of a scary movie we watch a romantic comedy. Maybe something's gotta give?"

"That Diane Keaton movie with Jack Nicholson ?"

"Yes."

"I kinda like that movie. "

"You've watched something's gotta give."

"Many times. " she raised an eyebrow. "Don't ask. It was a phase I went through after the second divorce."

"Ahh. " she laughed.

"I'll see you two tomorrow Brock.

…………………….

Katie was fast asleep and they had been watching the movie for over an hour now. She sighed as she watched Erica and Harry kiss. She was leaned against Brock with his arm draped across her. They watched the love scene unfold. She couldn't get her mind off their last encounter. All she could think of was jumping Brock and she vowed she'd never do that again. They were divorced and he had no feelings for her. She had no feelings for him. Why did they have sex. Was it because they were nostalgic. Whatever it was she was thinking of it now. The way his hands felt on her. His lips. She continued to watch the movie. All the while she was getting hotter and hotter.

He leaned and whispered in her ear. "You wanna fool around."

"No. I told you it won't happen again."

"Then why is heart rate elevated and your face flush. I know your thinking about it because I am too." When he kissed her neck her breath hitched. She had to stand her ground.

"Brock. No." She fought against the side that wanted him to continue. He stopped his kissing and resumed his spot beside her.

"You stopped?"

"You said no Reba. I may be a man but I'm not a pig. No means no. You don't wanna ring a ding we won't ring a ding."That surprised her. She had expected him to push her buttons. Now she was even more turned on because he respected her.

" I didn't expect you to quit."

"You think that less of me."

"No. I just figured you would have put up a fight or tried to persuade me."

"Your pulling the strings. Your consent means as much as mine. You don't want to I respect that. Now can we get back to the movie."

"Yes." She could feel the spot on her neck tingle where his lips were just moments ago. She wanted him. She really wanted him. God she felt awful. Why was she feeling this way. She should be over him. She shouldn't want him. They were divorced and what ever was between them should be gone. She couldn't help but feel the pull. Now she was frustrated. Sexually frustrated. She didn't initiate sex. It just wasn't who she was. She wanted him to push her. She liked the chase. Why has he given up so easily.

He knew she was bothered. He had watched her for 10 minutes as she was lost in thought. She wanted him to persuade her. She didn't want to make it seem like she wanted to but he knew she was frustrated when he had stopped. He teased her, and now he was waiting for her. They did this when they were married. Tease until one broke. Now he was going to test her and see how long she lasted.

She looked at him. He was toying with her. She smiled as she leaned over him grabbing the remote. When her chest brushed against him she smiled. She caught him staring at her ass.

"I just want the remote. Movie is almost over. " he didn't hold back. He smacked her hard on the ass and smiled.

"I couldn't resist."

She raised up quickly and smacked his arm.

"Ow. What was that for."

"For spanking me."

"It ain't like you didn't ask for it. I'm just getting the remote." He mocked her

"I was getting the remote. "

"But did you have to lean over me teasingly."

"I was not teasing."

"You were."

"Was not. I'm not talking about this anymore."

"Fine. Next time though, try something a little less obvious."

"You are encourage-able."

"At least I'm the first to admit it." She moved back to her spot and sat down not saying a word. Keeping her eyes on the screen she watched as Harry broke Ericas heart, and then watched as the movie ended and they were reunited.

"So he broke her heart and she still takes him back?"

"Wouldn't you? They are meant to be Reba. He loved only her."

"Never. He shattered her. How can you go back to someone who broke your heart six. Months ago?"

"Same as how you and me can fuck each other's brains out even though we're divorced. Love never dies."

"That's different."

"How so?"

"I don't love you like that anymore."

"Really? So if I was to turn you over and have my way with you, you couldn't say you felt anything."

"It's called lust Brock. A person can have sex with someone and not be in love with them."

"You didn't with Jack."

"That was different. I didn't want to have sex with him because I wasn't attracted to him."

"Digging a deeper hole Reba. Does that mean you are attracted to me."

"It was a mistake. It was an error in judgement. A very bad error in judgement."

"So you were horny."

"Would you quit saying that. I was caught up in the moment."

"Horny Reba. Call it what you want but you wanted to get laid."

"So what's wrong with that. You have probably been with multiple women since you and Barbara Jean split."

"Just Katie's mom and you. That's it."

"I find that hard to believe."

"Well how many people have you been with since we divorced."

"I…. Im not telling you."

"Reba? Was I the only one? You mean you haven't slept with anyone in 7 years?"

"Shut up you moron. I don't want to discuss that."

"You seriously. 7 years."

"I swear to god you say that again and I will kill you. So what. I have standards."

"And I meet those standards."

"You must have that night. Tonight you are not on the list."

"Arent I?"

"Nope. I refuse to discuss that night or my sex life again. "

"How about we go upstairs and give you a sex life. Seeing as how it's been a month. No wonder you've been crabby Reba. You needed this a long time ago."

"Im not going upstairs with you."

"Yet."

"Never." He leaned in close.

"I can show you things that will make you cry in ecstasy. Make you writhe with pleasure. You sure you don't wanna go upstairs." Her heart began to race.

"I…."

They were interrupted by Jake coming through the house unexpectedly. Reba backed away from Brock and turned to her son.

"I thought you were staying at Billy's house."

"I am. I came to get my games. He wants to check out the new call of duty. I'm going back over and I'll see you Monday."

"Be careful. Tell Susan I said hi! "

" I will mom. I'll be quiet so I don't wake Katie."

"Please. She hasn't napped this long in a while."

"I'll be quiet."

He retrieved the game upstairs and exited the house.

" that was close."

"Very. A few minutes later and he would have heard some some things that would scar him for life."

"I was not going to sleep with you again."

"You will. I'm gonna have you spread and begging me before tonight's out." Her thoughts immediately went to the gutter.

"What makes you think I will. "

"Cause your thinking about it now. I know you. You just want to play hard to get first."

" So. It's fun ain't it. " her eyes turned dark as she licked her lips.

"Come on Reba. Let's go upstairs and let me work some of that stress out of you. "

"If we do this, we are agreeing this isn't about love. It's just sex. We aren't telling anyone."

"Scouts honor. Sex only and no one has to know."

"Let me lock the doors."

……………..

"What are you doing Brock?" He tied the rope around one hand and pulled the other end of the rope through the bars. Securing her other hand he tied it and watched as she struggled to get lose."Brock I did not agree to this."

"Reba. Do you trust me." She lay there before him bare. Her chest rising and falling.

"I do but why did you insist on tying me up.I don't think I'll like this."

"Just lay back and enjoy babe." He tied her feet to the bed with 2 of his work ties. Making sure she only had enough wiggle room to bend her legs just a little he placed a pillow under her backside raising her up.

"Brock. What the need for the.." she never finished her sentence before he was between her thighs. When she felt his tongue hit her core she wiggled." We've never .. you ve never." She couldn't finish her thought as his tongue began to drive her wild. She tried moving away from him but his hands came up around her legs and held her down. He smiled as she squirmed, moaning. He never stopped. He continued his work.

"Fffffffffuuuucccckkkkk." He smiled at her use of the phrase. "Ohh goodddddd."

His tongue dipped in and out of her before returning to the tiny bundle of nerves. He held her down so she couldn't get away from his tongue. Her breathing began getting labored. When he stuck his finger inside her center she damn near came.

"Brock… oh god…… I can't take it much more… I need you inside me….. Brock." He didn't listen to her. He continued to suck and lick. "I'm… not… kidding Brock… fuck me…ahhhhhhh… " she moaned loudly. He continued until he felt her orgasm wash over her as she wiggled and squirmed. He didn't stop. He kept going until she rode out her final waves. "Brock please stop. I can't …" he stopped. Undoing the ties on her legs he flipped her over. Making quick work with his clothes he climbed onto the bed. He smacked her hard on her ass and she yelped. He spanked the other side.

"What the fuck Broc…." He entered her in one swift motion. She gasped."ohh goodddd."

"That's it Reba. " he moved quickly. She gripped her restraints at the sensations. He grabbed her hair, twisting it in his hands and slightly tugged. He slapped her bare backside again.

"Oh fuck…shit…" he smiled at her use of language. She rarely cursed but he knew she was enjoying their love making. He thrust hard and fast. Letting go of her hair he took his hand and placed it between her legs finding her most sensitive spot. Between that and his strokes she was weighing in no time.

"I'm going to …ahhh… Brock I can't take this much …..Ahh..more."

"Let go baby.." he knew it wouldn't be long for himself.He circled faster with his hand and thrust even faster. " come for me Reba. "

Her legs began to tremble. Her head threw back in ecstasy as her breath became labored and hitched.

"Fuck I'm coming.. god dammmnnn." He watched her as she gripped the ropes and felt as she released her orgasm, sending him into the throes of passion as well.

"Fuck.. ahhh.." he slowed his thrust before completely stopping as he pulled out of her. He flipped her over again. Climbing on top of her to untie the rope. She was breathless. Her face was red and sweaty as was his.

"Damn that was …" she couldn't put it into words. He leaned down placing a kiss on her lips. She rubbed her wrist as they were finally free of the restraints.

"Amazing."

"Yes. Amazing. Why is the sex so much different now."

"Because we both can explore each other without fear of hurting the other. We trust one another Reba. We aren't worried about feelings. There is no expectations other than getting off."He lay beside her. She pulled the sheet over them and curled into him.

"If the kids…" about that time van opened the door to her bedroom.

"Mrs H… oh god my eyes.." she looked down. They were completely covered but they were found in bed together. Van had a hand over his eyes. "What the hell. Is this why you didn't hear me knock!"

"Van stop overreacting."

"Eww." He shuddered." I will never unsee this. Where's the bleach. I need to wash my eyes"

"Van I mean it. Shut up. Where's Cheyennne?"

"She's at home. She sent me to pick up Elizabeth's rocking horse. Why couldn't I have waited." Reba pulled away from Brock.

"Van wait outside the door. Do not leave you hear me."

"I think I'm gonna be sick. It's like I walked in on my own folks." He exited quickly. Reba grabbed a robe in her closet and threw Brock his pants. Brock dressed quickly and Reba threw the robe on.

"Van. Get in here."

"Do I have to. "

"Now."

" OH god. Why."

"Will you shut up and listen. You can't tell a soul van. Not cheyenne, not kyra, not Barbara Jean. Not a soul." Van looked at the bed noticing the rope through the bed frame.

"My god. You two even had to get kinky. Eww."

"Van calm down. At least you didn't walk in on us during the act."

" I didn't even know you two were dating."

"We're not. Are you going to keep this quiet or what."

"I'm not saying a word. I don't wanna ever remember what I walked in on."

"That's a boy. Now. Go get Elizabeth's rocking horse and leave."

"Why so you two can jump one another again?"

"No! So we can all pretend you didn't see what you saw."

" Mr H.. I got my eye on you. You hurt her.. so help me."

"I'm not going to hurt her. You should be more worried about her hurting me." He laughed but Reba glared at him.

"Go Van. Now."

" with pleasure Mrs H.".
