Hallo to all the people who have been following the story, sorry it has taken so long for me to post this chapter. Real life has intruded.
Janey smoothed her nightie down over her breasts and stomach nervously before putting on her dressing gown and doing up the buttons that were in a row down the front of the garment.
She had grabbed the nightie on impulse when she had returned to her Parents' place and now regretted the impulsive action. The way the silky material brushed against her overly sensitive nipples only kept her body in a state of semi arousal and thoughts of the night ahead did nothing to lessen her tension.
She opened the bathroom door and walked out towards the lounge room slowly; she felt Ren's eyes on her even before she looked his way to find him watching her with hooded eyes.
Janey glanced away from Ren, suddenly shy, and sat on the end of the lounge well away from him.
Ren merely smiled at Janey's shyness and lifted his arm to lay it along the back of the lounge. He glanced at Brad and 'Tanaya where they were sitting on the floor playing with Nicky who was rubbing his eyes tiredly.
Nicky looked up and spotted his mother; he crawled to the lounge and pulled himself up using the lounge as support before pulling at her legs and whimpering softly.
"Do you want to come up Nicky?" Janey asked as she reached for her son.
"Up Mummy," Nicky said softly as he snuggled into her body.
Janey cuddled her son to her; he turned his head and rubbed his face tiredly against her, pressing into her breasts. Janey grimaced at the pressure and frowned as she eased Nicky away from her slightly. Nicky closed his eyes and clutched at the familiar dressing gown; he was asleep within minutes and Janey continued to sit there looking down at her son.
"He asleep?" Brad asked softly as he got to his feet.
"Yeah," Janey acknowledged as she continued to watch her son's face.
Brad gently lifted Nicky from Janey's arms and carried him towards his bedroom. 'Tanaya got to her feet and followed him.
"You're very quiet," Ren said quietly. He had noticed that Janey had become more edgy and withdrawn as the evening wore on.
"I might sleep out here tonight," Janey said faintly.
"You can sleep in my room. I promise not to do anything you don't want, or I can sleep out here," Ren said softly.
"There's no need for you not to sleep in your bed. I can sleep out here," Janey said even more faintly.
"Come on. You can tell me what's wrong," Ren soothed gently.
Janey glanced at him uneasily from the side of her eye then looked away quickly. "I got my period," she whispered quietly.
"That's not a problem. It just means we have a good chance to cuddle up and talk," Ren told her.
Janey glanced at him startled before looking away hurriedly. Lately when she got her period Adam had became dark and brooding.
"I certainly do not want to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or that you dislike," Ren told her in soft soothing tones.
He moved closer to her until he could reach behind her then reached out with his hand and gently stroked his fingers down her upper arm.
He felt her flinch beneath his light touch then glance his way uneasily before looking away. As he continued to stroke her arm gently he noticed that she was visibly relaxing. Finally she shifted closer to him and leant into his embrace trustingly.
Ren leant closer and lowered his face towards her; Janey tilted her head back and closed her eyes as he brushed a light kiss against her lips. He rested his forehead against hers and struggled to keep his breathing steady as he remained there with his eyes closed and just enjoyed her closeness.
When Ren lifted his head Janey opened her eyes slowly and blushed before looking away shyly.
She allowed herself to be cuddled against his side and tucked her feet up under herself as she leant into his warmth; she felt surprisingly safe and at peace as she turned her attention back to the tv program.
After nearly half an hour Janey realised that neither Brad nor 'Tanaya had returned from putting Nicky to bed. She glanced around with a frown and sat up moving away from Ren's side slightly.
"Anything wrong?" Ren asked quietly.
"Where have Brad and 'Tanaya gone?" Janey asked puzzled.
"I think we'd find they've gone to bed," Ren said with a hint of a smile in his voice.
"Oh!" Janey said startled and glanced around before settling against his side once again.
"Bed sounds like a good idea actually," Ren said.
Janey glanced at him suddenly nervous once again; she licked her lips nervously before giving a slight nod. She knew that she could trust Ren and she had to admit to herself that she wanted to be held in his arms all night.
Ren gently eased Janey away from his side and got to his feet. He turned and faced her before holding out one hand in a silent invitation to help her stand up.
Janey swung her feet off the lounge and placed her hand in Ren's before standing up. His fingers wrapped around hers and she found herself drawn into his arms.
His lips were light and gentle against hers as he brushed soft easy kisses across her mouth, keeping things light and undemanding.
"Let me turn the tv off and we can go to bed," Ren murmured huskily against her lips.
Janey swallowed her soft moan of complaint as he released her and turned away. She swayed towards him slightly before collecting her wits and taking a step towards the hallway.
She was glad of the chance to get to the bedroom and get into bed before Ren entered the room. Wearing the nightie worried her in case Ren took it as an invitation to more than just sleeping in the same bed.
"Hot damn! I surely do hope you're going to wear that outfit again when I get the chance to take it off you," Ren growled huskily from the doorway.
Janey froze as she held the bedclothes up prior to getting into bed; she glanced across the bed at Ren nervously but he was already turning around to sit on the bed to take his boots off. Quickly she slipped into bed and stretched out on her side so she could watch him undress.
Ren was aware of Janey watching him as he stood up and faced the bed. He started unbuttoning his shirt and he caught a glimmer of her eye for just a fraction of a second as he shrugged out of the garment.
Janey felt the breathless anticipation build as she watched Ren shrug out of his shirt. Heat began to pool low in her stomach and her breasts suddenly felt full and heavy. She squeezed her eyes shut as she felt the hot rush of embarrassment fill her face and she was thankful for the darkness of the room.
Cool air slipped beneath the covers and Janey opened her eyes hastily as she realised that Ren was about to get in the bed. She waited until he had settled himself before scooting closer and reaching out towards him.
"Tired?" Ren asked softly and wrapped his arms around her before nuzzling against the side of her neck.
Janey felt her heartbeat speed up and her nipples pucker into hard little buds as his lips brushed her ear as he spoke. She gasped and arched into his body as his lips found the pulse at the base of her neck.
