Jaxon watched as his wife's hands shook when she dropped his plate in front of him. Her nervousness showed brightly on her face. He kept on watching her as she went into the kitchen to bring the food.
God knew he wanted to go in there and help her, like they normally did, but he wasn't sure how she'd react to that.
Finally, she sat across from him and closed her eyes. After saying grace alone during dinner for the first time since they got married, he dug into the food, but what he was sure was one of her most delicious meals now held no appeal for him.
All he wanted was for her to come sit on his lap so he could feed her and make love to her in front of the fireplace. He looked up to see her quickly look down pretending to eat. He smirked. It was obvious she had been staring at him.
He couldn't wait for dinner to be over so they could make up and go back to how they were.
"You don't like the food?" Her quiet voice made him realise he had been pushing his food around for quite some time.
He sat back and stretched his legs, his whole body coming alike when his legs brushed her bare ones. His mind began to come up with images that had to do with her legs wrapped around his waist. He cleared his throat and shifted. " I love it but I've got a lot of things on my mind now."
She nodded as if she understood." Me too."
Jaxon nodded but he doubted what she had on her mind was the same as what he had had on his mind before she spoke.
"I'm sorry." He finally said out loud. "I never realised I was hurting you because of the deal. It was never my intention to drift away from you and the children and now that the deal's over, I'll do my best to make up for it. "
From the shocked look on her face , it was obvious she had not been expecting him to say that, but now it was out there and he really prayed to God that they settle this matter today. He did not want their first Christmas together to ever be like this with this huge gap between them both emotionally and physically.
She suddenly dropped her gaze to her food and absent mindedly pushed it around once more. Jaxon frowned, was she not going to reply. Had he really hurt her that much?
"I should be the one apologizing. I know you would never hurt your family on purpose and that you love me but I just can't help feeling scared and insecure whenever I see you with one of those high class ladies who have really made it in life and I'm just this woman with a bakery and men like you prefer women who understand what they are passing through at work and someone to help them out in making decisions concerning the business and I can't do any of that." She drew in a deep breath and cleared her throat, tears that threatening to pour making it hard to speak.
"I know it's really stupid but lately it seems like some stupid trend for celebrities to divorce at any moment and I was really scared. I know I told you I'll always trust you after what happened to Tracy and I'm so sorry I did not trust you."
She wiped tears that had started to pour." I'll be a better wife from now on and I'll trust you and whenever I have issues I'll talk to you calmly first and & and I'll support you in all your deals even though they are with men that have super hot models as daughters, pls forgive me?"
Jaxon sat there stunned. Where had all that come from? She thought she was not a good wife? For crying out loud , she was the best women he had ever met and he never regretted marrying her?!
He reached for her hand across the table
." Love, you know you are the best woman I could ever ask for as a wife. And what on earth gave you the idea that I prefer a "businesswoman" to you? In case, you did not notice you are a business woman and your bakery is one of the top right now. I'm always proud of you and your job. I mean, what man wouldn't love a woman who loves to spoil him with sugary delights?" Especially when it was spread all over her body, but he kept that part to himself.
He grinned when he watched her laugh a little and wipe tears from her face.
"I really need to trust you more." She still said.
He sighed again." Honey, trust takes time and we had not known each other for long before the marriage. Some people just don't find it easy to trust but I know you'll get there with me." He offered her a kind smile and Rebecca wondered what she had ever done to deserve such a nice man as a husband.
She stood to take the dishes to the kitchen and store them for later since it was now cold and it seemed they were not in the mood to eat.
She could feel Jaxon's presence the moment he stepped into the kitchen. He placed his hands on her shoulders loving the feel of her robe underneath his palm. He gently applied pressure massaging the tense muscles there. "Stressfull day today, huh?" He asked, his lips lips tracing the shell of her hair.
She leaned into his body, sighing as his hands worked her shoulders. Her head rested on his shoulder as she felt thrill run through her. "Hmhmm." She answered his question. "We were really busy. Had a really long line and the whole bakery was filled up."
"And yet you claim you are not successfull." He spoke, his voice deeper now and laced with desire. His hands trailed lower down her arms and back up, going back to her shoulders. He watched as her eyes fluttered close and a soft sigh left her plump lips. "I know I've not been saying it for quite sometime but I love you."
She gave him a small smile with her eyes still closed." Love you too."
