Igniting the Passion With Mr White (2 page)

“
Are you okay?” Rita asked. Natasha nodded and climbed off the bed. She splashed some cold water on her face before walking back to the bedroom. She could feel the wetness in her panties.

“
Where’s the baby?” she asked looking around.

“
In her room, fast asleep,” Rita said.

“
How did you get in?” Natasha asked as she walked back to the bedroom.

“
My spare key but that is not the important thing right now. What’s up with you?” she asked as Natasha sat down on the edge of the bed.

“
Nothing…just tired and a bad dream,” she answered. Rita smiled.

“
I don’t think that dream was as bad as you are letting on,” she said. Natasha felt her cheeks flush. “Oh my God, it was a sex dream, wasn’t it? Who was it? Was it Mitchell or some other hot fantasy guy?” she asked.

“
Of course it was Mitchell but I have never had a sex dream in my life,” Natasha said.

“
Never?” Rita asked, surprised. Natasha shook her head. “Then what triggered it?” Rita asked.

Natasha shrugged. “Girl, I’m your best friend. We have no secrets and you know you need to tell me. You are going to tell me anyway so just let it rip,” Rita said. Natasha shrugged again and then took a long deep breath.

“I have not had sex in two weeks,” Natasha said in a low voice.

“
What? Have you guys been fighting or something?” Rita asked, surprised. Natasha and Mitchell were like sex crazed rabbits. Getting them to keep their hands off each other was harder than feeding broccoli to a five-year-old. Natasha shook her head. “Then what is it? Are you guys okay?” Rita asked, concerned.

“
Yeah we are but work has been draining us. We barely have time to talk, let alone have sex,” Natasha said sadly as she heard the front door open and close. This time she pinched herself to make sure she was not dreaming.

“
I think that’s him. I better make myself scarce,” Rita said as she stood up. Natasha smiled at her.

“
Thanks for taking Alexis,” she said.

“
That little princess is fun. It was my pleasure,” Rita said as she walked out. She smiled at Mitchell and gave him a high five as she walked past before whispering “You got a lot of work to do in there, brother,” to him.

Mitchell gave Rita a puzzled look before he walked into the bedroom. He sat next to Natasha and shook his head.

“What was that about?” he asked. Natasha blushed. She had no idea how she was going to start explaining the last few minutes.

Mitchell looked at Natasha and smiled. He snapped his fingers in front of her face. 

“
Earth to my beautiful wife. What was all that about?” he asked. Natasha smiled as he sat down next to her. “Rita just told me I’ve got work to do? Is there something I missed?” he asked. Natasha rested her head on his shoulder and sighed.

“
Don’t worry about it,” she said, giving him a weak smile.

“
Come on, babe. I can see that there’s something on your mind,” he said. Natasha took a long deep breath. She looked at him and shrugged. She might as well just tell him. Otherwise, he would bug her all night.

“
I had a sex dream, Mitchell,” she said looking into his eyes. “With you,” she added quickly when she saw the disapproving look in his eyes.

“
That’s a good thing, right?” he asked. She shook her head.

“
Sweetie, I never have sex dreams. Ever,” she said as she held his hands in hers. “I need to have sex. Crazy, wild, porn sex,” she added. Mitchell smiled.

“
How many times have I told you I love you?” he asked as he pulled her close. “Right now I feel so in love with you,” he said before bringing his head down to kiss her. She smiled after pulling away from his grip.

“
I know you are tired but Alexis is asleep and I just had a sex dream. What do you say you fuck me right here?” she asked as she pushed his jacket off his shoulders.

“
Ditto,” he said before kissing her again. She hated to admit it, but this kiss was nothing compared to the way Mitchell had kissed her in the dream. He suddenly pulled away and pushed her down onto the bed. He looked down at her as he took off the rest of his clothes. Natasha smiled and took off her dress before lying down on the bed. She looked at him as he got on top of her. He smiled as he brought his head down to kiss her again while his free hand worked to push her panties off. She closed her eyes as she felt him pushing his cock inside her. Again, she hated to admit it, but this time, the sex was just too boring. It was like so unlike them, so routine, like some old boring couple.

“
I don’t think I can cum and I can’t fake it either,”
she thought as she lay there. She put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him away. He stopped thrusting and looked down on her.

“
What’s wrong? Did I hurt you?” he asked. She smiled and shook her head.

“
This is not us, baby,” she said. “Our sex has always been explosive and fun and I don’t want to be one of those people who pretend that everything is okay when it’s not,” she said. Mitchell smiled and kissed her forehead before rolling off her.

“
That’s what Rita meant, huh?” he said as he lay next to her. She nodded and interlaced her fingers with his.

“
We are either at work or sleeping. We forgot what it meant to have fun and I need it, baby,” she said in a low voice.

“
I agree,” Mitchell said. “How about some sun and sand?” he asked. She shrugged and shook her head.

“
I was thinking something cooler, in terms of temperature at least. Aspen?” she asked. Mitchell laughed.

“
You want to ski?” he asked.

“
Who said anything about skiing? I just want to have an excuse to spend long hours in bed, naked,” Natasha said.

“
Well, we need a sitter for Alexis,” he said smiling.

“
My dad is always a willing candidate,” Natasha said. Mitchell smiled. He had promised himself that he would always put his family first and this time, he was about to do exactly that.

*****

Mitchell and Natasha had everything planned for the next morning. The baby’s bag was already packed. They had already talked to Eric and Estelle, who were all too happy when Natasha mentioned she wanted to leave Alexis with them for a few days. After making all the plans that needed to be made, Natasha stepped into the bathroom. She had just stepped out of the shower when a frantic Mitchell walked into the bedroom.

“
Whatever happens, you need to know that I love you and that I had no hand in this,” Mitchell said. Natasha unwrapped the towel that held her wet hair in place.

“
Okay, this sounds serious but before you tell me your big news, who was at the door?” she asked as she sat down in front of her dressing mirror. She took her body lotion and squeezed a generous amount on her hand.

“
My news has everything to do with who was at the door,” Mitchell said as he rubbed his hands together. Natasha looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

“
Honey? What’s wrong? You look nervous and agitated,” she said.

“
My parents are here,” Mitchell suddenly blurted out. Natasha shook her head.

“
I thought they were in Europe,” she said. Mitchell rolled his eyes.

“
They are always in Europe. I’m actually surprised they made it to our wedding. But apparently they are in town and they are here, in our house,” he said. “Right now,” he added.

“
Then that’s a good thing, right?” she asked as she rubbed the lotion on her legs.

“
Well, there is that and there is the little fact that they want to take Alexis,” Mitchell said.

“
Take her where exactly?” she asked as she stood up. Mitchell looked at her as she began dressing herself,. first her panties and then her bra. When Natasha noticed that he had gone silent and was now staring at her, she looked at him and snapped her fingers. “Keep talking, Schmidt. There is nothing here that you haven’t seen before,” she said as she pulled on a pair of sky blue skinny jeans.

“
I just wanted to have some mental picture so I know where to escape to when my parents begin talking,” he said.

“
Fine. Where do they want to take the baby?” she asked again as she pulled on her pink chiffon sleeveless top.

“
Well, Mother and Father know that we are planning a vacation and they want to take Alexis for a few days,” he said. Natasha smiled.

“
That’s great. We did not even know if Nan and Daddy would be free. This is a load off our shoulders, Mitch,” she said smiling.

“
Sweetie you don’t understand. These are MY parents. They are not the same as Eric or Estelle. They are horrific, button pushing people. I really don’t want all that negative energy around my daughter,” he said. Natasha rolled her eyes as she sat down in front of her dressing mirror again.

“
It’s a few days. They cannot do that much damage in just a couple of days,” she said as she applied a coat of mascara.

“
Clearly you don’t know who my parents are,” he said as he sat down at the edge of the bed. He took a deep breath and buried his face in his hands as Natasha touched up her face. When she turned around and saw him seated there with his face in his hands, her heart went out to him.

“
It’s really that bad?” she asked. Mitchell looked at him and nodded. “But they can’t be that bad if they raised you,” she said as she looked at him smiling.

“
I just don’t know why we have to keep up appearances except for the mandatory Fourth of July, Christmas and Thanksgiving,” he said as he rested his head on her shoulder. Natasha smiled.

“
We can handle this just fine,” she said. “Come on,” she said as she pulled him up to his feet. Mitchell groaned as they walked to the living room where Mitchell’s parents were busy making goo-goo noises to the baby and Alexis seemed to love it. She was chuckling loudly as Mitchell’s father lifted her up and Mrs. Schmidt was busy playing peek-a-boo.

“
Something is wrong,” Mitchell said in a whisper. Natasha looked at him as they stood at the entrance of the living room.

“
Why? What makes you say that?” she asked looking concerned.

“
These people are too human to be my parents,” he whispered. Natasha smiled and punched him playfully on the arm before she walked into the room.

“
Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt. So nice to see you,” she said with a smile. She gave Mrs. Schmidt a hug and she was given a kiss on the cheek in return before Mitchell’s father gave her another kiss on her other cheek. Natasha gave a little wave to Alexis who was at that moment in the arms of Mitchell’s dad.

“
Natasha, you look better by the day. Having a baby agrees with you. Maybe you should have another one?” Mrs. Schmidt, or Naomi as she liked to be called, said. Natasha laughed.

“
Please, I am still recovering from this one,” Natasha said laughing.

“
Well, for the time being this little girl will do. Yes you will,” Mr. Schmidt said as he rubbed his head in Alexis’ tummy, making her squeal loudly.

“
Mitchell told me that you guys just got here. You should join us for breakfast,” Natasha said smiling.

“
But we’re not insisting. You can leave at your own pleasure,” Mitchell said loud enough for his parents to hear.

“
Come on Mitchell. Be nice to the people who gave you life,” Natasha said as she led Naomi to the kitchen. “I had already prepared some batter. I can make some waffles,” she added with a smile.

“
Waffles sound lovely darling,” Naomi said as she sat down. She held Natasha’s hand and whispered, “It is good to see he landed a good one.” Natasha laughed.

“
I heard that, Mother,” Mitchell said as he walked into the kitchen followed by his father who was still making faces at the baby.

“
I intended for you to hear that, honey,” Naomi said as she looked at Natasha who was pouring some batter onto the waffle iron.

“
When did you guys even come back? I thought you were still in Europe,” Mitchell said as he sat down.

“
We had to come back for Elijah Parsley. His mother-in-law just died,” Mr. Schmidt said. He looked at Natasha whose face was as red as a beet from holding back her laughter. “It’s okay, sweetie. You can laugh. I did too the first time I heard his name,” he said with a smile. Natasha giggled.

“
So his name is Parsley? Like the herb?” she asked as she looked at him.

“
Yeah,” Mitchell said smiling. His smile died down as soon as he remembered that the name had come up with some bad news. “So, what happened?” he asked looking at his father.

“
Well, the woman had a long fight with leukemia. I guess it’s better this way but Eli is not taking this too well. And since he is the only friend I have since my college years, I have to be there for him,” he said.

“
And now we have this little princess to light up the mood,” Naomi said with a smile.

“
Yeah, how did you know about us taking some time off, anyway?” Natasha asked as she served the waffles on individual plates.

“
His sister is not as secretive as he is, lucky us,” Mr. Schmidt said smiling.

“
So, the two workaholics have finally decided to take some time off,” Naomi said smiling. “What gives?” she asked as Natasha set the plates in front of them. She walked to the fridge and came back with some orange juice.

“
Well, since we got Alexis we have found that we rarely get time to ourselves and the situation only got worse when I went back to work. Mitchell and I just need some time to work on our marriage,” she said as she poured everyone some juice. Naomi and her husband exchanged glances.

“
Work on the marriage? Is there trouble in paradise already?” she asked looking at her son.

“
No, not like that. We…um…need some alone time…away from all the madness at NSCS and it is hard doing something romantic with this bundle of joy,” Natasha explained.

“
Yeah, the Windsor Resort in England said they don’t allow baggage when I mentioned I have a ten month old daughter,” Mitchell said. “Baggage,” he scoffed under his breath.

“
Ah, your story reminds me of the good old days when your mother and I were trying to rekindle our romance. The only reason some of the leading hotels accepted our reservation was because of a generous donation here and there,” Mr. Schmidt said smiling.

“
You bribed them?” Natasha asked her eyes wide.

“
No, I would never do something that heinous. As I said I made a donation to various charities,” Mr. Schmidt said quickly. Mitchell looked at him and smiled. “Don’t you dare judge me, son,” he said before using his free hand to take a sip of his juice.

“
It has been thirty years and this is the first time he has admitted to having had a hand in getting us a reservation. I knew that phony story about you having quote unquote friends in high places was a hoax,” Naomi said with a smile. “So, where are you two going?” she asked. Mitchell took a long deep breath and shrugged.
