Chapter 236 - A Little Romance?

9 March, Matthew's Villa, City K

Matthew followed Lexi into the casual lounge of the Villa, and the two of them sat down on a sofa together. Mathew looked at Lexi and could see that she was frustrated about things. "What is it, Lexi?"

"I feel a little guilty about palming Dominic off on David and Sarah for the night…"

"They offered to have all the children tonight, so do not worry. It will be our turn in a couple of weeks, and you will complain about having too many children under your feet. Let him enjoy the time with them, and stop worrying he is safe, and he knows if he wants to come back to call. He needs to have some independence from us, but your former in-laws cannot get to him as they are staying on base."

After pausing for a few seconds Matthew added "But that is not all your worries. You know a worry shared makes dealing with it so much easier."

"When did you get philosophical?"

"I always have been. Now quit stalling."

"Fine, but you need to do the same…"

"Some things I cannot, but I talk to David, Joseph and Ben about them. My concern is you…"

"And Phillip. Have the results of the completion of the initial round of treatment come back?"

"Chester called me and said the oncologist's prognosis was positive but that he still needed to go through the second and third rounds of treatment before he would give a detailed assessment. I just want him to come out of this as both deserve happiness for a long life together. But stop distracting me, what is it with you?"

"You are not going to let me get away without answering that question, are you?"

"Absolutely not. Remember we have a wedding to go to next weekend, and you need to be under the least amount of tension for that. Chester and Phillip will kill me if you are too stressed."

"So, it is about you?"

Laughing Matthew responded, "Those two together scare me, they know most of our embarrassing secrets from our childhood, and do you think I want them talking about that."

"True, I happen to know Chester has somewhere the photos from that dare you, Andrew, John, Paula and Steven did through Steven's parents villa after that dare…"

"You have to remind me of that. Loosing that bet and doing that was so embarrassing. Having to strip down and run through the house in high heels and in women's underwear after Steven's sisters did our makeup and hair…"

"True, I think I might have to ask my big brother for a copy of the photograph…"

Taking Lexi's head in his hands Matthew leant over and gave her a kiss, gently forcing his tongue into her mouth and starting duelling with Lexi's tongue.

Lexi, meanwhile, used her hands to pull his shirt from his pants and slipped her hands under it, caressing Matthew's chest causing him to pull back and m.o.a.n, before saying "You do not play fair Lexi…"

"Playing fair Matthew? We do not have Dominic here, and you want to sit here in a lounge room. There are better places we could be…"

Matthew stood up, and quickly helped Lexi up before swinging her into his arms. As he strolled out of the lounge he said "True Lexi, but…"

Taking one hand and placing it against his right cheek, Lexi whispered "And you know, this could be an interesting night." Lexi then leant in and pressed her lips to Matthew's gentle using her tongue to open his lips, before touching the tip of her tongue to his.

Lexi felt Matthew immediately quicken his pace as he climbed the stairs and headed to their suite. At the suite room, he paused, and gently swung Lexi down onto the ground, before opening the door and saying, "After you."

Lexi, as she moved into the room noticed that there were lamps switched on in the room, shining a mottled light throughout the room, and there was on the coffee table in front of the sofa in the lounge area vases of red roses, and a trail of rose petals leading into the bedroom. Moving further into the room, Lexi could see that the rose petals trailing further into the bedroom, and on the bed.

They were certainly not there less than two hours ago when she had arrived home and showered, before heading down for tea. Lexi turned and looked directly at Matthew who had a smile on his face. "What in the world…"

Matthew moved over to Lexi and lent down taking her face in his hands and giving her a sweet gentle kiss, before pulling back and saying "Lexi, you deserve a little romance. This marriage and our relationship this time around has not been normal, and I want to give you those things…"

"So, you arranged things for tonight. Dominic to be away for the night, and then this…"

"Lexi, as I have told you there is no pressure, what happens in our relationship is what is meant to be but at the same time all I ask is that you give it a chance. Now, I arranged for something to be served for us. We can simply sit and watch a movie, or whatever you want to do…"

Stunned, Lexi could not believe the effort that Matthew had gone to for her. Doing this but leaving the choice of what happens up to her. Lexi reached up and touched Matthew's face which drew him to directly look into her eyes.

In that moment Lexi knew that there was nothing more than she wanted than retreating to their bedroom. Regardless of her confused emotions and her creation of a fresh start, the best thing about everything was the s*x, and each time was just as good as the last.

"Forget about sitting out here…". With that Lexi moved away from Matthew and headed towards the bedroom, slipping her shoes off as she walked before reaching and pulling the easy access zipper on her dress, and slipping it off her shoulders. She turned and added "Things will be better in our bedroom."
