Baby Love (Baby #2)(129)

"I'm really glad that things worked out for you and Trey, Tylar - speaking of which, I think your man has come to look for you as we speak."

I turned to look in the direction of the path leading up to the cottages and sure enough Trey was on his way.

Mark gave me a pat on the shoulder and took off walking the path towards the 'Belle. I turned returning back down the way that I came and caught up with him.

"I wondered where you had gone off to," he said, pulling Preston from me and circling his free arm around my waist.

We walked back down the path towards the horse barn.

"I wanted to see Derringer and introduce Preston to him. She was enamored of course."

"Horssey." Preston squealed as we walked through the barn and she spotted Derringer again.

Trey laughed hugging her closely.

"I see we have yet another equestrian in the making," he commented.

"I think she gets that from me," I replied grinning.

When we got back to the house I changed Preston's diaper, nursed her and then put her down for her afternoon nap. The New Year's Eve festivities were at the Sinclair's estate this year since they alternated that holiday with the Andrews as well.

I had pumped a couple of bottles of breast milk earlier and put them in the fridge. I was going to party this New Year's Eve. I remembered quite well the fiasco of last year's which made me all that much more determined to make this year's better.

Trey gave me a cat whistle when he came into our suite later in the evening and saw me putting the finishing touches on my hair and make-up.

"I shouldn't let you out of our room dressed like that baby," he said perusing me from top to bottom.

I was wearing a tight black dress that fell to mid-calf with a slit up each side that went mid-thigh. The dress was strapless with a built-in underwire push up bra. I wore four inch black pumps on with dark thigh high stockings.

I accessorized with sparkly red jewelry; dangling earrings with shiny stars and a matching necklace.

"Oh Trey," I said, "I just look festive tonight."

"Just remember baby - the festivities take place later tonight. You and me in that bed right there."

He drew me to him tightly and his lips found mine in a warm and sensuous kiss. I felt him harden against me.

"Later baby," I laughed pushing away. "I don't want you mussing my hair and make-up."

"By the way Preston will be staying in Mom and Dad's suite right?" he asked pulling his shirt off getting ready for his shower.

"Trey did you ever stop to think that perhaps your parents have plans in their bed tonight?"

"Don't worry," he said with a wink and a smile, "They won't wake her."

Susan had bathed Preston and dressed her in her pajamas. She said she would keep the crib in their suite again tonight so that Trey and I could sleep in tomorrow morning.

(Yeah, right….)

Gina popped over to our suite while Trey was in the shower.

"You look great," she said eying my outfit.

"Right back at you Gina," I said.

Gina was wearing a short royal blue spandex dress that had black sequins in a diamond-shaped pattern on the front and back.

"Listen to this girlfriend," she said in an almost whisper, "Tristan wants us to get engaged and then announce it tonight."

"No he doesn't," I said louder than I had intended.

"Shhh," she whispered loudly, waving her hand at me.

"Don't worry - I talked him out of it. I told him first of all I wasn't ready to jump back into marriage again and even if I was, I had no intention of him being tacky about announcing it like he had done two months ago on his birthday with that whore Libby."

"But Gina you do love Tristan don't you?"

"Of course I do Ty! What the hell kind of question is that?"

"Then why don't you want to get married?"

"I didn't say ever! Besides, I prefer to play it like you did."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I don't intend to be a knocked up bride either."

"Gina - you have such a way with words."

We both giggled. We heard the shower stop in the bathroom.

"Hey I better scoot. I wouldn't want to see the Hot Nazi coming out here in his birthday suit," she said scooting off the bed and heading out the door.

Had Gina stayed thirty seconds longer that is exactly what she would have seen. I was still sitting on the bed when Trey came out of the bathroom au natural and headed to his closet. I never tired of looking at his body; he caught me doing so as he came back out of his closet with his evening garb. He cocked an eyebrow at me his mouth curving into a sexy smile.

"No Trey. I'm all ready and I'm not getting mussed up this close to the start of the guests arriving for the party. I really mean it honey,” I pleaded as he sauntered over to the bed naked.

Thirty minutes later I was re-doing my hair and make-up in the bathroom. I caught myself humming some random tune by the Rolling Stones that had popped into my head. It was something about not always getting what you want; but if you try sometimes you might just find that you get what you need.

(Hmmm . . .interesting )
