Elliott Watson pressed the home screen on his iPhone for the first time in hours. He sucked his teeth upon noticing several missed calls and text messages from Janaya. He walked the halls of the hospital until he reached a closed office door. He peeked in the office and noticed Kyla Adams buried in paperwork.

"Hard at work or hardly working, Ky?" Elliott teased.

Elliott was one of Atlanta's Emergency Care top doctors while Kyla was the Healthcare Administrator. The two would normally cross paths on a day to day basis.

"Man! This Roberts case is really hell. One of our nurses accidentally marked the wrong leg for amputation. Now that the patient had both legs amputated, he wants to sue the hospital along with the nurse. And that's just one flipping case!" Kyla vented.

"Come on, baby." Eliott cooed. He walked behind her desk, placing a tray of food on available space. His long fingers gripped her tensed shoulders. "You got this. I know your badass can handle these cases. You're just tired and a little overwhelmed. So what you need to do is to take a little break, enjoy this little massage, and knock these cases out the way. I believe in you, baby."

Kyla moaned as his Elliott put tension into his massage. "It's not just these cases, its Issac too. Our schedules are too conflicting. When I have free time, he's at work. When he has free time, I'm being called into work. It is so frustrating."

"Hey now! What did I say? Take a break from everything. From everyone. Focus on nothing but this bomb ass massage I'm giving you. Focus on one thing at a time."

Elliott continued to give a massage to Kyla, telling her sweet nothings. They joked and laughed, reminiscing on the day's events. It was a good distraction from the problems they were going through. By the end of their break, Elliott kissed Kyla on her cheek before going back to his office. He then gathered his belongings and left for the day.

When Elliott opened the front door, the strong aroma of curry hit his nostrils.

"What in the world." He whispered to himself.

As Elliott walked further into the house, he found Janaya laid out on the couch. She was still clutching an almost empty bottle of wine. He stood there, admiring her tall curvy body in lingerie. He smirked at the sight. He quietly went to take a quick shower to wash the sweat and grime off his body. When he exited the bathroom, Janaya was standing by their bedroom door.

"Do you even still love me?" Janaya sadly said.

"What are you even saying? Talking nothing but bullshit so early in the morning. I just got finished from working a double and you think I want to hear your mess."

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. I don't care how tired you are, you're going to listen. I said, do you still love me? What is so hard about the question you can't even comprehend?"

"I'm still married to you, right? If I didn't love you, if I didn't cherish you, I wouldn't be with you."

"Who is she?"

"What the fuck is wrong with you?! Are you accusing me of cheating?!" Elliott rubbed his temples before wiping the water off his face.

"It's been so long since we had sex. So long since we had an intimate moment! What am I supposed to think?! Not to mention you shut down any talk about finally starting a family. I barely even see you anymore. I miss you."

Elliott felt guilty. With his crazy schedule and the number of hours he spends at the hospital, he never had the time for Janaya.

"I'm sorry, Janaya. I'm only working double shifts to afford that vacation with Issac and Kyla. That summer trip to Hawaii is not cheap. Somebody has to pay for the spa, the clothes, and the expensive food. Believe in me, baby. Can't nobody compare to my wifey. You're dope as hell." Elliott pulled Janaya closer to his body.

"My mind was racing with all these wild thoughts while I was waiting for you. I prepared dinner and everything. Do you even know what today is?" She practically cried out.

Elliott chuckled. "Close your eyes."

"Elliott..." Janaya began to protest.

"Just listen to me for once, will ya?"

He waited until Janaya obliged before going to their walk-in closet. He shuffled in his draws until he found a box. Pulling it out, he went to Janaya who was still standing in the spot he left her. Pulling out the sparkling jewelry, he placed it on Janaya's wrist.

Janaya opened her eyes and eyed the new piece of jewelry. "This is the tennis bracelet I've been eying for months! I never even told you I wanted it. How did you know?"

"I know my woman. So give me some props. Happy anniversary, Janaya.

"Aw baby." Janaya cooed. "I love it and I love you." She tilted his head and pecked his lips.

"How could you ever think that I don't love you anymore?" Elliott picked her and carried her to their king-sized bed.

Janaya wanted to protest when she saw Elliott grab a condom from the nightstand but kept quiet. It's been weeks since she had made love to her husband. But it was still a discussion for a later date.

Elliott watched as she laid on the bed, seductively watching his every move. He dropped the towel from his waist. Leaning down, he began to tenderly kiss her leg, slowly massaging her foot. His kisses trailed between her legs, forcing her to open her legs wider. He kissed her heated core through the lingerie.

He smiled when he saw that she was waxed. Slipping the sheer material off her body, he dived into her core, making love to her with his tongue. When she came, he cleaned her up. Licking and slurping her evidence of pleasure.

Elliott pulled back and told her to get on her knees. Once he put her in his favorite position, he aligned his dick to her core. Inch by inch, he filled her before slowly pulling out.

"You missed this dick, huh? This what you want?"

"Yes, baby." She moaned.

Elliott helped onto her hips and roughly slammed into her. She loved when Elliott made love to her yet she never opposed his roughness. He smiled as Janaya began to match his rhythm. At one point he stopped and watched as her ass bounced whenever she would slam into him.

"Damn." He admired her chocolate skin and plump behind. His hand rubbed her rear end before he smacked it.

When he took control again, he made sure to hit her sweet spot with each thrust. Once she came for the second time, he soon followed suit, coming into the condom. After disregarding the condom, he collapsed on the bed.

"I love you, Elliott."

But Elliott's eyes were already closed. Janaya admired his features. She still couldn't believe that she married her high school sweetheart. Besides his schedule, everything was perfect. She kissed his cheek before cuddling next to him. She quickly fell asleep.

At ten in the morning, Elliott's cell phone was ringing. He quietly got up to leave the room to continue the conversation. Instead of coming back to the room, he went to shower. When he came back, he kissed Janaya's forehead and said "I have some things to take care of at the hospital. I don't know how long I'll be."

"But it's our anniversary. Can't, you get someone else to do it?"

"I'm sorry, Janaya. But if I want that paycheck then I need to go in. I'll make it up to you this summer, I swear."

"Can I at least make you breakfast?"

"That's okay. I'll grab something a little later on. I have to get going."

Janaya quietly watched as he got dressed. He paid her no mind as he rushed to leave the house. It was unfair. His co-workers seen more of Elliott than she has in the past few months.
