Upstairs in our room I gave Lexine her bath and got her ready for bed. She told me that she was ok with going to school tomorrow, but that Scuttle her seagull was nervous. I had to smile at that. I assured her that it would be fun and she would make new friends. I also told her that if anything happened, Chase was right next door working in the hospital, and any of the guys and me would go to her school for her. That seemed to make her feel better and she fell asleep while I was picking out an outfit for work the next day. I still felt restless so I ventured out of the bedroom and I saw Preston walking towards his room. I must have made some kind of sound and he turned around and saw me.

"Delphine, I was just going to send you a text." he said as he walked towards me.

"What about?"

"I forgot to mention that the preschool will be doing an orientation earlier in the morning for Lexine so that you can get her situated and actually be there for her first day."

I lit up and smiled at him. "I was so worried about missing her first day dropoff! This is great Preston! Who's going to be driving us in the morning?"

He smiled at me and said, "I will be escorting you and Lexine tomorrow morning. I'm still not sure who will be doing the pick up yet, but be assured that one of us will come and get you."

"Great! What time should we be leaving?"

"I'd like to leave by 7:30 because her orientation is at 8:00am and it will be for about half an hour. That leaves us enough time to get you to work by 9:00," he answered me and then looked a little shy for a second which was very unlike him. "Do you... Would you like to spend the night in my room?"

I blushed and nodded yes. "Sure, I'd like that. Just give me a few minutes to change."

Preston looked relieved and happy. "Ok, I'll leave the door open for you and I'll get the handset from Wyatt's room. Make sure the one on the nightstand is turned on so that we can hear her."

I went off to get changed and ready for bed. I did my nightly ritual in the bathroom and I found a black one piece nightie that was made out of a very soft cotton and decided to wear that. I put it on and covered it with a matching robe. Making sure that Lexine was covered and fast asleep, I made sure the handset was turned on and I left the bedroom. I went down the hallway and went into Preston's room. He was standing by his bed wearing pajama bottoms and nothing on top. He was every women's dream come true!

I didn't realize that I was just standing there staring at him until he walked over to me and shut the bedroom door. Preston took both of my hands in his and lifted them to his chest.

"Are you nervous?" he asked me.

"Yeah, a little." I admitted.

"Don't be, I've been looking forward to having you sleep in my arms all night. We can kiss and cuddle, I don't expect anything more." he said and lifted my hands to kiss them.

"That does sound nice."

He led me over to the bed and pulled down the covers for me. I took off my robe and he took it from me to lay on the back of a chair. I got into bed and Preston got in next to me. He opened his arms to me and I went willingly. I laid my head on his bare chest and snuggled in with a sigh. He kissed me on the top of my head and stroked my back. We talked about the next day and what Lexine said about her seagull being nervous. That made him laugh and sympathize at the same time. I was rubbing circles on his chest with my hand as we talked and his touches on my back went lower and lower until he was stroking my butt.

Wrapping both of his arms around me, his hands grabbed my butt and pulled me up higher until we were eye to eye. His kisses started out gentle and then turned heated fast. I kissed him back just as passionately and I let my hands wander over his torso and arms. Preston slipped a hand under my nightie to cup my backside and then slide up to my waist. He kissed my neck and said, "Oh, my D.D. You have no idea how alluring you are. I don't think that I will ever get enough of you."

I laid a hand on his cheek, "Preston, I will never get enough of you either." Pulling back from him, I sat up and pulled off my nightie. There I was almost naked just wearing a pair of panties and he couldn't take his eyes off of me. He reached out his hand and caressed my breasts. Pulling me down to the bed he rolled over on top of me to kiss me from my neck down to my breasts. I reached down to his waist and played with the waistband of his pajama bottoms. He took my hands and put them above my head and held them there while he laved attention to my sensitive nipples. I wrapped my legs around his waist and ground against him.

Preston groaned and sucked on me harder. I bucked my hips and wriggled a hand free to reach down and stroke his hard male bulge. He groaned even louder and moved up higher on my body to kiss me on the mouth. Our tongues tangled and he moved his hardness against my core. It was incredibly erotic and intimate even with layers of cloth between us. We were making love without actually going all the way. I could only imagine what it would be like for real. I needed to make an appointment with Chase right away! We kept moving against each other and our breathing got labored. I dug my nails into his back and Preston moved faster until I cried out his name as I went over the peak and he shouted, "Yes!"

He collapsed against me and I welcomed his weight. There was something about it that made me feel closer to him not just physically but emotionally. Preston seemed to know when he was getting too heavy and moved off of me. He got up out of bed and grabbed some new underwear with another pair of pajama bottoms. Giving me a wry grin he said, "I'll be back in a second. I need to clean up."

I smiled and nodded at him. He went into his en suite bathroom and I suddenly felt tired and got comfortable pulling the blanket over me. I was extremely sleepy when Preston got back into bed with me. He spooned me from behind and I felt him kiss my shoulder. I smiled sleepily and drifted off into a deep sleep.

In the morning, I woke up when I felt Preston stirring under me. Wait, under me? I cracked open an eye and saw that my face was resting on his chest. I was half draped over him. He took a deep breath and rubbed my back. "Time to wake up." he rumbled. I made a sound of protest and he chuckled. "We have a big day ahead of us." he said and I groaned. "I want to stay in bed forever." I told him. He laughed and said, "Me too," then rolled me over so that I was on my back again. Keeping my eyes closed, I stretched my arms up my toes down and arched my back. The muscles in my thighs were pleasantly sore and I smiled thinking about how they got that way.

"Oh, God. I'm going to need a cold shower this morning!" Preston said. I opened my eyes and saw that he was admiring my body. My mostly naked body with only a small pair of lacy panties on. I blushed and crossed my arms. This was the second morning that I forgot that I had almost nothing on! He took my arms and uncrossed them. "You're too beautiful, Delphine. Don't hide, it'll give me something to dream about today when I'm bored at work."

I gave him a hug and stood up to grab my robe and slip it on. "I'm going to wash in my bathroom, I'll see you downstairs Preston." He nodded and opened the bedroom door for me. With a smile I left for my room when I came across Brady in the hallway. He looked happy to see me and greeted me. I gave him a hug and he looked a little surprised.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"Nothing Buttercup," he said with a widening grin. "Someone isn't wearing a bra and that makes for a pretty nice good morning hug."

I felt my face turn red and looked down to see that my tips were hard and poking through the thin material of my robe. Before I could cross my arms or turn my back to him, Brady pulled me in for another hug this time taking longer. By the time I pulled away, my embarrassment had faded and I had regained my composure. "I'll see you downstairs Brady, I need to get myself and Lexine ready." He nodded and winked at me as he walked away.

Deciding to shower instead of taking a bath this morning, I rushed through it and got dressed in a soft knit grey dress with 3/4 sleeves and a knee length skirt. I put some grey pearl drop earrings on and a pair of teal ankle boots. I took extra care with my makeup this morning and then picked out Lexine's clothes for the day. After waking her up and getting her dressed in a long sleeved black and white polka dotted dress and purple leggings, I let her pick out her headband again. She chose a purple glittery one and it did finish the outfit. I made sure to grab my cell phone from the charger and put it in my purse. I was going to keep it close no matter what. Grabbing a couple of jackets for us we headed downstairs to eat a quick breakfast.

To my surprise, all the guys except for Chase were waiting for us at the table. Someone had gone to McDonald's and gotten us breakfast!

"Hey baby, you look great!" Jake said looking at me up and down. "I went and got us some food this morning so that you wouldn't have to cook."

I went over to him and gave him a kiss, "Thank you Jake!"

"Chase wanted to be here but couldn't get out of his shift this morning. He said to wish you luck on your first day, and that goes for you too Lexine!"

She giggled and clutched her seagull. I had a feeling that it might be going to school with her today.  We sat down to eat and soon we were done. Brady, Jake and Wyatt gave us both kisses and hugs. Wyatt put something in my hand. I looked at it and said, "Lipstick?" He grinned and shook his head, "Pepper spray to look like lipstick. Just in case darling." I opened the top to see a spray nozzle with an arrow pointing to the spray part. "That's so you spray it in the right direction." I put the top back on and dropped it into my purse. Getting our coats on they walked us to the door and Preston led the way to our family car.

All too soon we were at her preschool and Lexine looked very nervous. I put a reassuring smile on my face but inside I was nervous for her. This would be the first time we would be apart for such a long period of time! Inside the building, Dr. Hines was waiting for us. After exchanging greetings, she led us to a classroom where a gentle looking woman around my age was putting out construction paper on the tables around the room.

"This is Mrs. Bealer, Lexine. She's going to be your teacher." Dr. Hines said.

Mrs. Bealer came forward and got down to Lexine's level. "Hi Lexine, I've heard so much about you! I'm happy that I'm going to be your teacher. Would you like to see where you are going to sit?"

Lexine glanced up and me and I nodded encouragingly. After hesitating for a moment she took Mrs. Bealer's outstretched hand they went to a table across the room. I watched them and I guess my face must have been an open book because Preston put his arm around my shoulders and whispered in my ear, "She's going to be fine. I promise." I looked up at him, gave him a small smile and nodded. His thumb rubbed back and forth on my upper arm and I found that comforting. My smile at him grew bigger and I slid my arm around his waist. If he was that sure that she would be ok, then I would trust him. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Dr. Hines was watching our interaction with a smile. 

Two men and a woman walked in with another little girl. She had long dark hair and brown eyes and looked very shy like my girl. "Good morning Jenny!" Dr. Hines greeted the little girl and smiled at the adults with her. Jenny gave her a tiny wave. Dr. Hines took Jenny over to Lexine and Mrs. Bealer. Jenny sat next to Lexine and within a minute, they were sharing crayons and coloring together.

Dr. Hines smiled and said to us, "This is both their first day here and I'm glad to see them bonding already." Turning to the people that came in with Jenny, she introduced them to us as Bryce, Derek and Judy. We shook hands and told them our names.

"Well, it looks like the other children will be arriving soon, so we should let them get to it. You can say goodbye to the girls if you like." Dr. Hines said to us. We all went and gave our girls hugs and kisses goodbye. I think that our daughters were less hurt at the pending separation than we were! With careless waves at us Jenny and Lexine went back to their drawings.

Preston escorted me back to the car and gave me a big hug and kiss before opening my door. "It's tougher on the parents than the kids." he said to me. I agreed with him. Preston drove me to work and got me there five minutes before I was supposed to start. Getting out of the car, he opened my door for me, and helped me out. He held my hand and told me that Brady would be picking me up today. "If for any reason you need any of us, please call or use the apps. Text me what time you get lunch and one of us will be here to take you ok?" With that he gave me a swift kiss on the lips and opened the office door for me. Mr. Meyers was waiting for me and seemed to recognize Preston. He released my hand and gave me a wave goodbye. With a serious look on his face he gave Mr. Meyers a nod and left.

Mr. Meyers looked at me and asked, "Was that Preston Kingsley? Are you two dating or something?"
