~His eyes had settled on her soft, caramel colored cleavage as she rests in the back, so he didn't even notice that her eyes were open and those soft browns were looking at him. When she spoke he lifts his eyes to her face, hiding his surprise quite well with a friendly, fatherly smile that hid the predatory thoughts he was having. He glances to his sleeping kids one row of seats in front of them and then turned back to look at Emma, leaning closer so he could speak softly without waking any of the sleepers.<br/><em>"Just tired in general Emma. I had to stay up very late last night to clear upmy work schedule and allow me to take so much time off."</em><br/>He smiles to her then glances out the window at the rain drops spattering and sluicing down the glass.<em>"I didn't think it was responsible for me to keep driving in this weather as tired as I am... Wouldn't want to endanger any of you kids."</em><br/>As he speaks the last sentence his hand warmly lowers to her leg, giving it a reassuring squeeze and caress as if to let her know that he was watching out for her well-being as much as his own kids'. His hand remains there for now, fingers fanning out so half were on her short skirt and the other fingers rest on the smooth, warm flesh of her bare leg.<br/><em>"Sorry if I woke you up when I climbed back here... If you need to sleep you can stretch out, I don't mind if you draped your legs over my lap or use me for a pillow."</em>~
