to lie to him.
    “Oh.” I jut my hip forward lifting it off the bed to slide the rings from my pajama pocket. “I took them off to wash my hands when I got ready for bed and me uh, forgot to put them back on.” I slip those two rings on in record time and hold up my hand for him to see.
    “Perfect, just as I knew they would be.”
    “Mmmm, you did pretty well, Mr. Lawson.”
    “I did, didn’t I? he says with pride
    “We need to talk about all that sometime soon, when you’re calmer, feeling better. Can we just snuggle in for a long winter’s nap?” I ask quoting The Night Before Christmas.
    “You don’t expect me to say I in my kerchief and mama in her cap do you?”
    “No, I suppose not, sounds kinda funny coming from you.” I giggle softly. “You’ve heard that story though; I’m surprised.”
    “My Aunt made sure Gabriella and I had as many normal experiences as possible. Christmas was her favorite holiday, ours too because mother would let us spend the night with her on Christmas Eve. She didn’t believe in Santa Claus, and we were allowed to stay until it got dark Christmas Day.
    “Mmmm, it’s so good to know you have some happy memories of your childhood.” He tips my face up to his with his finger under my chin
    “The only memories that are important to me are the ones I make with you.” He presses a tender, sweet kiss against my lips lingering there. He then drags his fingers down my face closing my eyes encouraging me to sleep.
    “I can’t sleep, I’m too happy.” I feel the rumble of his chest against my body as he chuckles. Then the fingers of his other hand trail down my spine to the sensitive place where my back becomes my ass. He slips his hand inside my pajama bottoms.
    “Oh, you just hang on a sec there, coma man. We have to wait!”
    He snorts “We don’t have to do anything, but I’ll show you want I want to do.” Grabbing the majority of my cheek with his big hand, he gives it a squeeze.
    “Evan, you have to have all these monitors discontinued, IVs out, catheter removed, you remember that don’t you?”
    “I remember that my beautiful wife is a nurse and knows how to do all of those things. And yes, I’ll never forget you taking that thing out of my cock. How could you let them do that to me again?”
    “You’d rather wet the bed?”
    “Hmm. No, you are right on that, I do not like wet sheets unless it’s from the sweat of us going at it like animals all night.”
    I laugh, really laugh, a hearty light-hearted laugh that feels like heaven. “Ok ok I get it.” I continue to giggle.
    “How about you give it at least 12 hours minimum before we rip all those wires and tubes out of you and go at it like animals?”
    “I’ll appease you this once but don’t expect me to wait for what I want again, Mia. I’m not a patient man, you know that.”
    “I know you’re not, I love you and I’d never keep myself from you unless it was for your own good. This isn’t easy for me either, ya know.”
    “Ok, so at…” He glances at the clock on the wall opposite his bed. “two o'clock this afternoon, it’s just you and me and this bed.”
    Sighing, I agree. Although, we will have company the whole day, so I’m betting he will be waiting longer than his allotted 12 hours.
    “I want all this shit removed in the morning though, all of it. I’ll do it myself if you don’t.”
    “I know you will, honey.” I pat his chest
    “You’re not patronizing me are you, Mrs. Lawson?”
    “Who? Me? No, never!” His fingers dig into my ribs tickling me until I nearly pee his bed for him.
    “Stop stop! I’m done!” I screech, and he quits his tickling to cover my mouth with his hand.
    “Shush, you don’t want the nurse coming back now do you?” I settle, but not before licking his hand that’s covering my mouth playfully.
    “You’re pretty feisty tonight. I can’t wait to fill that smart mouth of yours with something other than sarcasm and wit.”
    “Oh, promises,
