“Now, this is what I've been looking forward to all day,” David says, pressing a tender kiss to my forehead, then my lips. “How's my lovely wife?”

“Better, now that you're here,” I reply, nuzzling my head on his chest and just basking in the reassurance of his presence. Just this… having him around me, is the best feeling in the world.

After a while, I pull back to smile up at him. “I have a surprise for you, baby.”

“Really?” He asks, his eyes glinting with a mixture of curiosity and amusement. “Let me guess, you want me to guess the surprises?”

“Don't spoil the fun, darling,” I say, rolling my eyes playfully at him. “Now, guess.”

He chuckles, then tilts his head, pretending to think about the answer. “Did Emily come back from Greece?”

I laugh and shake my head because of course he thinks my joy could only be from my best friend returning after years of exploring the world. We video chat and text as much as we can, but I’m dying to have my best friend back in the city. Hopefully, she’ll be back for good soon.

David groans, raising his hands playfully in defeat. “I'm sorry, but you'll have to tell me, baby. I'm stuck.”

“I got the job,” I say, grinning from ear to ear.

David's face lights up with excitement. “My God, that's amazing, Tara!” He exclaims, pulling me into another tight hug. “I'm so proud of you!”

I laugh, feeling a rush of joy at his enthusiastic response. “Thank you, baby,” I say, pressing a kiss to his cheek. “But that's just the first surprise.”

His eyebrows shoot up in amusement. “There's more?”

“I had my IUD taken out,” I say, watching his face closely for his reaction. I’ve always known that David wants kids, but he’s never pressured me since we got married and I’ve always appreciated him for that.

David's eyes widen in astonishment, a mixture of joy and disbelief dancing in their endless blue depths. “You... you really had it taken out?”

I nod, feeling a surge of nervousness mixed with excitement. “Yes. I want us to start trying for a baby,” I say, my heart pounding in my chest as I wait for his response.

For a moment, there's silence as David processes my words. Then, without warning, he sweeps me off my feet, twirling me around in a joyous whirlwind of emotion. “That's incredible, baby!" he exclaims, leaning forward to capture my lips in a short passionate kiss. “You're incredible.”

I step back a little, tugging my robe apart to reveal the matching red lacy thong and bra underneath. They're new and I bought them specifically for this purpose; watching his eyes darkening with that staggering lust that always seizes my breath.

“Now, now, what do we have here?” David drawls, his voice husky with desire

I feel a rush of exhilaration at his reaction, knowing that I've ignited the same passion in him that he evokes in me. With a coy smile, I step closer to him, closing the distance between us. Then I rise on my toes and place my mouth against his ear.

"How about we skip to the part where we make babies?" I whisper, laughing out loud when he roughly jerks my body to his and slams his mouth to mine.

The kiss is hot and hard, and he takes as much as he gives. I open my mouth to his and let myself lose in the taste of him, in the sweep of his tongue as he explores my mouth. My body aches for him and so I run my hips shamelessly against the bulge in his pants, desperate to relieve some of the ache building up inside of me.

David's hands roam my body, his touch, leaving a trail of fire that burned me from the inside out. Then he drags his mouth away from me, trailing hot, open-mouthed kisses down my neck to my chest until his mouth closes over my breast. He sucks and bites through the material of my bra, making me squirm in helpless need.

He slips his free hand between our bodies and pulls my thong down. Then he slides his fingers into me, letting out a hum of satisfaction as I clench around his fingers. He withdraws his fingers and pushes them in again, slowly this time.

I cry softly as my pleasure ripples through my entire body.

“Now,” I moan, fumbling with the buckle of his belt. “I want you inside of me now.”

“I'll do it,” David says, and gently pushes me to the couch, bracing himself on one arm as he lays over me and releasing himself with the other.

In one long, slow plunge, he drives into me. I grip his shoulders, letting out a choked gasp as my body stretches to accommodate him. I shift slightly, bringing my knees up to accommodate him. He lets out a deep moan, burying his face in my neck. He starts to move faster, pushing deeper and deeper into me with every stroke. My body is strained with pleasure, drawn taunt and ready to snap at any moment. Contractions wrack my body in violent waves, causing me to feel dizzy and lightheaded with pleasure.

Then, his movements slow down. He slides his hands beneath my hips to lift me even deeper into his long, deep thrust. "I love you, Tara," he mutters, looking deeply into my eyes.

My heart stops and picks up again at a dangerously fast rate as butterflies spring alive in my stomach. How can he be so rough yet so gentle? Hard yet soft… How can a man be so perfect?

“I love you too,” I reply as tears slide down the corners of my eyes. I feel so incredibly blessed. How did I get so lucky?
