Carnal House

Small win.-Ash

Ryker was nodding off in the first fifteen minutes of the movie. She had chosen the overstuffed chair, leaving us the exceptionally large sectional to stretch out on. I would look over and her head would be drifting down and snap back up, she would adjust and try again to stay awake.

When she finally passed out, I asked the question she wasn’t ready to answer.

“Where do you think would be best for her to sleep tonight?”

“We put her through the ringer today, best she sleeps where she is already comfortable, though you already knew that.” Connor said with a sidelong glance my way.

I grin at him, yes, I knew that I would be getting her tonight, halfway through dinner we had all acknowledged what it was she was doing. I have a feeling that this is the way it was going to go for a while until she was comfortable with each of us alone. I don’t fault her for being intimidated.

“You know she is going to do this every night, right? She is going to lose out on sleep just so she doesn’t have to choose.” I said.

“So, what if we don’t give her a choice. Make sure only one of us is home when she is ready for bed.” John suggested.

“No, just let her fall asleep when she falls asleep and whoever finds her takes her to bed. It’s not us she is uncomfortable with; it’s choosing one of us. She knows nothing will happen that she doesn’t expressly ask for.” I said, making sure only one of us was home felt too much like manipulating her, and that I wasn’t comfortable with.

I was drained from today, and my bed was calling, so I picked her up doing my best not to wake her.

“I’ll be waiting to hear some more delicious sounds.” Connor said behind me.

“f**k you, Connor.” I said, trying to be quiet. The entire way up the stairs I thought about the best way to get her comfortable without waking her so much that she tries to stay awake again.

I toe my door closed behind me. Laying her gently on the bed I start to take off her jeans, which was simple enough. It was the bra I had apprehension about. I slid my hand behind her back and popped the back open, reaching my hands up her sleeves to pull the straps down her arms. She stirred as I reached up the front of the shirt to pull the bra out but just rolled over towards the middle of the bed. I knew she didn’t sleep in her bra, so I am hoping that she won’t freak out too much when she wakes up in the morning. I pulled up the blanket and tucked her in before getting ready for bed myself.

Overall, it wasn’t a bad way to spend a Saturday.
