Chapter 52 - Scratches and Confessions

KEIFER POV 

I woke up and the first thing I saw was her.

Jay‑Jay was curled against me like she was made to fit there—her legs tangled with mine, her hand resting on my chest like she was listening to my heartbeat.

I brushed a strand of hair away from her face and kissed her forehead.

She stirred, eyes barely opening.

"It's too early…" she mumbled into my skin.

I smiled. "Wifey, it's already 12 p.m."

She groaned and buried her face deeper into my chest.

I kissed her shoulder. "Get up. I'll make lunch."

I slipped out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

A quick shower later, I stepped out wearing nothing but sweatpants.

No shirt.

On purpose.

Because my wife needed to see what she did last night.

I glanced at the mirror.

Scratches.

Red marks.

Lines down my back and shoulders.

I smirked.

"Damn, Jay," I muttered to myself. "You really tried to kill me."

I walked back into the room, towel around my neck, water still dripping from my hair.

Jay‑Jay was sitting up now, rubbing her eyes, the blanket slipping off her shoulder.

She looked at me—

And froze.

Her eyes widened at the sight of my back.

I turned slightly, pretending not to notice her staring.

"You scratched me bad," I said casually, grabbing a shirt… and then deciding not to wear it.

Jay's face turned bright red.

"I— I didn't— you—" she stuttered.

I smirked, leaning against the doorframe.

"You sure you're not the one seducing me, wifey?"

She turned red 

I sat beside her 

I tilted her chin up, brushing my thumb across her cheek.

"You okay?" I asked softly.

She nodded, eyes dropping to the marks on my chest.

"Sorry," she whispered.

I chuckled. "Don't be. I liked it."

Her face turned even redder.

I kissed her forehead again.

"Come on, wifey. Let's eat before you faint."

She wrapped herself in the blanket like a burrito and shuffled to the bathroom, only her eyes peeking out.

I couldn't help laughing.

My wife was adorable even when she was avoiding me.

I headed downstairs and started making lunch, trying to act normal even though my back still stung from the scratches she left last night.

A good sting.

A proud sting.

After a while, I heard her soft footsteps. She sat on the stool

I placed her lunch in front of her.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked gently.

"N‑nothing much," she said, eyes glued to her plate.

"Jay, what is it?"

"Nothing, Keifer. Really."

She didn't look at me once.

Not during lunch.

Not even when I tried to pull her closer on the couch.

She just… politely moved away.

My stomach dropped.

Damn it.

I shouldn't have rushed her.

I shouldn't have pushed last night.

I should've given her more time.

I grabbed the remote and turned off the TV.

She jumped. "W‑what happened?"

"I don't know, Jay. What happened?" I asked quietly. "Was it too early?"

Her eyebrows knitted together. "What?"

"Last night," I said, my voice low. "Was it too early? Do you need more time?"

Her eyes widened. "No—no, no, no."

"Then what happened?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

She stood up suddenly, hands shaking.

"Keifer… do you want to have another child?"

I froze.

I looked at her—really looked at her.

Her eyes were glassy, her breathing uneven.

"If you want to, then sure," I said softly.

"Keifer, do you or not?" she asked again, voice cracking.

I took a breath.

The truth came out before I could stop it.

"To be honest… I do," I said. "I missed everything with Keira, Kevin, and Kade. Not that I don't love them—God, I love them—but I want to be there for you this time. For everything. From the beginning."

Her tears fell instantly.

And my heart dropped.

"Jay…?" I whispered.

She shook her head, tears falling faster.

"It might not be possible, Keifer."

My chest tightened.

I stepped forward immediately and pulled her into my arms.

"Hey… hey, come here," I whispered, pulling her into my arms as she cried into my chest.

Her voice shook.

"When I had our kids… the doctor said it was a heavy labor. They said it might not be possible for me to get pregnant again."

I froze for a second.

Not because I was upset—

but because she was crying over something she didn't need to cry about.

I lifted her chin gently.

And then…

I laughed.

Not a mocking laugh.

A soft, relieved one.

She blinked at me through her tears.

"Why are you laughing?" she asked, confused and hurt.

I wiped her cheeks with my thumbs.

"Because, Jay… we already have three amazing children," I said softly. "More wouldn't hurt, sure. But we already have enough. So stop crying."

Her lips trembled into a small smile.

"So you don't mind me not having another child?"

"Of course not," I said, kissing her forehead. "Why would I?"

I pulled her closer, resting my chin on her head.

"Besides," I added, "we already have four kids."

She sniffed. "Keifer, we have three kids."

"No," I said, shaking my head. "We have four."

She looked up at me, confused. "Who's the fourth?"

I smirked.

"My first baby is Jay‑Jay," I said, tapping her nose. "And Jay's first baby is Keifer."

Her jaw dropped.

Then she burst out laughing, hitting my chest lightly.

"Asshole."

I grinned, pulling her tighter against me.

"Always."

Jay smiled at me, finally calm again, and I brushed my thumb across her cheek before pulling her onto the couch with me.

"So what's the plan?" I asked, settling beside her.

She sighed dramatically.

"I don't know. We have two kid‑free days, Mia moved out yesterday… now I'm bored."

I didn't even let her finish.

I pushed her gently onto the couch.

"Keifer!" she laughed, swatting my arm.

I hovered over her, bracing myself on my hands so I wouldn't crush her.

Her laughter softened into something warm, something that made my chest tighten.

"I have some ideas," I said, leaning closer.

She looped her arms around my neck, pulling me in.

"Yeah? What is it?"

I lowered my voice, letting it drop into that tone I knew made her blush.

"Spending two days alone with my wife."

She raised an eyebrow. "That's your big idea?"

I smirked.

"Jay… I haven't even started explaining."

She rolled her eyes, but her fingers curled into the back of my neck, pulling me closer.

"And what exactly do you want to do for two days, Mr. Watson?"

I kissed the corner of her mouth, slow and teasing.

"Stay inside you for the two days" I murmured 

Talking off her patines 

Her breath hitched — just a little — and she tried to hide it by pushing my shoulder.

 My heart pounded in my chest as I murmured the words, my eyes locked onto hers. I could see the surprise in her eyes, the flush of her cheeks, the hitch in her breath. It was a bold move, but I didn't care. I wanted her, and I wasn't afraid to show it.

Her hands pushed against my shoulders, a weak attempt to create some distance. "Keifer, you're impossible," she whispered, her voice barely audible. But I could see the spark in her eyes, the challenge. She wasn't pushing me away, not really. She was playing along.

A smirk played at the corners of my mouth as I leaned in closer, my nose brushing against hers. "And you love it," I whispered back, my voice low and husky. I could feel the heat radiating from her body, the tension in the air between us. It was electric, intense, and I never wanted it to end.

My hands moved to my belt, the metal clinking softly as I unbuckled it. Her eyes widened, her breath coming faster now as she waited for my next move. I could see the anticipation in her eyes, the hunger. It was a heady sensation, one that made my head spin.

But I didn't want to rush this. I wanted to take my time, to explore every inch of her body, to make this a night she would never forget. So, I took off my belt slowly, deliberately, my eyes never leaving hers.

Her breath hitched again, her eyes waiting, her body tense. I could see the questions in her eyes, the uncertainty. But I just smiled, a slow, lazy smile that made her blush.

"Patience, Jay Jay," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "We have all day."

And with that, I leaned in, my lips capturing hers in a soft, slow kiss. I could feel her melting into me, her body pressing against mine as she deepened the kiss. I let my hands roam, tracing the curve of her waist, the softness of her skin. I wanted to memorize every inch of her, to commit it to memory.

Because tonight, she was mine. And I was going to make sure she remembered it for the rest of her life.

As I pulled back from the kiss, my eyes flickered down, taking in the sight of Jay Jay's shirt still clinging to her body. A smirk tugged at the corner of my mouth as I realized she was still clothed from the waist up, while I stood before her, bare-chested and ready.

"Someone's a little overdressed," I murmured, my fingers tracing the hem of her shirt. I could feel her shiver at my touch, her breath coming in soft, even intervals. She was nervous, but I could also see the excitement in her eyes, the anticipation.

Jay Jay bit her lip, her hands fidgeting with the fabric of her shirt. "I... I wasn't expecting this," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.

I chuckled, leaning in to press a soft kiss to her neck. "Neither was I, wifey," I whispered against her skin. "But I'm not complaining."

My hands moved to the bottom of her shirt, slowly inching it up, giving her plenty of time to stop me if she wanted to. But she didn't. Instead, she lifted her arms, allowing me to pull the shirt off completely, leaving her in nothing but her bra.

I took a moment to appreciate the sight before me, my eyes roaming over her curves, committing them to memory. She was beautiful, and she was all mine.

I reached out, my fingers tracing the strap of her bra, snapping it easily. Jay Jay gasped, her eyes widening in surprise. I smirked, leaning in to capture her mouth in a searing kiss, my hands moving to her back, unhooking her bra with ease.

She moaned into my mouth as I pulled back, her body arching into mine as I cupped her breasts, my thumbs brushing against her nipples. I could feel her heart racing, her breath coming faster now as I explored her body, my touch gentle yet firm.

I wanted to take my time, to savor every moment, but I could feel the heat building between us, the hunger growing with each passing second. I could see it in her eyes, feel it in her touch, hear it in her breathy moans.

So, I picked her up, her legs wrapping around my waist as I carried her to the bed, laying her down gently. I stood there for a moment, taking in the sight of her, naked and waiting for me.

And then, I joined her, my body covering hers as I captured her mouth in another passionate kiss, my hands roaming, exploring, teasing. I wanted tonight to be a night she would never forget, a night that would leave her breathless and begging for more.

And I was determined to make it happen.

**KEIFER'S POV**

Jay's body was trembling beneath my touch, her moans filling the room as I explored her with my mouth. I could feel her body tensing, her breath coming in short gasps as I brought her closer to the edge. I wanted to make this last, to draw out her pleasure, but I could feel her body responding to mine, her hips moving in rhythm with my tongue.

"Keifer..." she gasped, her hands fisting the sheets beneath her. "I... I can't... I'm going to..."

I looked up at her, a smirk playing at the corners of my mouth. "You're going to what, wifey?" I murmured, my voice low and husky.

Her cheeks flushed, her eyes meeting mine. "You know what," she whispered, her voice barely audible.

I chuckled, a soft, low sound that sent vibrations through her. "Say it, Jay," I said, my voice teasing. "Say what you want."

She bit her lip, her body squirming beneath me. "I... I want to come," she admitted, her voice soft.

I smiled, leaning back down to capture her mouth in a searing kiss. "Then come for me, wifey," I murmured against her lips. "Come undone in my arms."

And with that, I redoubled my efforts, my tongue flicking against her clit, my fingers sliding inside her, curling to hit that spot that made her gasp and moan. I could feel her body tensing, her breath coming in short, sharp gasps as she climbed closer and closer to the edge.

"Keifer... oh god, Keifer..." she cried out, her body convulsing as she came undone beneath my touch.

I looked up at her, a smug smile on my face. "That's one," I murmured, my voice low and husky.

She blushed, her body still trembling from the force of her orgasm. "One?" she whispered, her voice barely audible.

I nodded, my fingers still moving inside her, drawing out her pleasure. "That's right," I said, my voice teasing. "I plan on making you come at least three times before I even think about taking you."

She gasped, her eyes widening. "Keifer... that's... that's too much," she stammered, her cheeks flushing.

I chuckled, a soft, low sound that sent vibrations through her. "Nothing is too much for you, wifey," I said, my voice firm. "You can take anything I give you. And I plan on giving you everything."

I leaned down, my lips capturing hers in another searing kiss as my hands began to explore her body again. I wanted to take my time, to savor every moment, to make this a night she would never forget.

And I was determined to make it happen.

 **KEIFER'S POV**

Jay's body was writhing beneath me, her moans filling the room as I explored her with my mouth. I could feel her body tensing, her breath coming in short gasps as I brought her closer to the edge. I wanted to make this last, to draw out her pleasure, but I could feel her body responding to mine, her hips moving in rhythm with my tongue.

"Keifer..." she gasped, her hands fisting the sheets beneath her. "Please... I need... I need more..."

I looked up at her, a smirk playing at the corners of my mouth. "More what, wifey?" I murmured, my voice low and husky.

She blushed, her eyes meeting mine. "You know what," she whispered, her voice barely audible.

I chuckled, a soft, low sound that sent vibrations through her. "Say it, Jay," I said, my voice teasing. "Say what you want."

She bit her lip, her body squirming beneath me. "I... I want you," she admitted, her voice soft. "Inside me. Now."

I smiled, leaning back down to capture her mouth in a searing kiss. "As you wish, wifey," I murmured against her lips.

I reached down, positioning myself at her entrance. I could feel her body tensing, her breath coming in short, sharp gasps as she waited for me.

"Keifer... please..." she begged, her hips arching up to meet mine.

I smirked, my eyes locked onto hers. "Patience, Jay," I said, my voice low and husky. "I want to savor this moment."

And with that, I slowly pushed inside her, inch by inch, feeling her body stretch to accommodate me. She moaned, her hands gripping my arms, her nails digging into my skin as I filled her completely.

"Keifer... oh god, Keifer..." she cried out, her body arching into mine as I began to move.

I smiled, my hips slamming into hers, my body tensing as I felt her clamp down around me. "That's it, wifey," I murmured, my voice low and husky. "Take all of me."

Her moans filled the room as I continued to move, my body slamming into hers, my hands gripping her hips to pull her closer. I could feel the heat building between us, the hunger growing with each passing second.

"Keifer... I'm... I'm going to..." she gasped, her body tensing beneath mine.

I smirked, my hips moving faster, harder. "Come for me, Jay," I said, my voice firm. "Come undone on my cock."

And with that, she shattered, her body convulsing as she came undone beneath me, her orgasm triggering my own. I groaned, my body tensing as I came inside her, my release filling her completely.

I collapsed on top of her, my body spent, my heart racing in my chest. She wrapped her arms around me, her legs looping around my waist, holding me close.

"Keifer..." she whispered, her voice soft and content.

I smiled, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. "Yes, wifey?" I murmured.

"That was... that was incredible," she said, her voice barely audible.

I chuckled, a soft, low sound that sent vibrations through her. "I told you, wifey," I said, my voice teasing. "We have all day."
