Page 68 of Stay With Me

Heat reaches my cheeks, not embarrassment this time, but something more.

Different.

Exciting.

I smile at him and pull away, walking toward the house. Daring him to follow. I barely reach the door before he unlocks it for me and pulls me inside. He slams the door shut, locking it swiftly before I am in his arms, my lips smashing against his. Before I know it, he has me laid down on the dark gray rug in my living room. I watch him throw some wood in the fireplace, stoking the fire, and then return with a blanket for me.

Always so thoughtful.

Always so protective of me.

I lay back on my elbows and watched him unbutton his flannel shirt, exposing his beautiful chest. I watched every muscle move, the light dusting of dark hair on his chest, and thatV.I knew what it led to, and my stomach tightened as the familiar need centered between my thighs. I got on my knees, yanked his belt off, and unzipped his pants. He watched me pull his jeans down, letting them pool to the ground. His cock flung out, hard and ready for me. I wrapped my hand around his length, and he moaned as his eyes fluttered closed. I wrapped my lips around him and sucked him into my mouth, twisting my tongue around his tip and up and down. I tasted the salty precum and moved up and down, using my saliva to run my hands up and down. His hands wove through my long locks, and his moans built the more I took him in my mouth.

“Ava, that feels so good.” He growled.

I wanted him to feel how much I needed him. This was how I could show him I was his and he was mine. There was no one else but us. I felt him pull me away, and when I looked up at him confused, he kneeled in front of me and cupped my face in his hands.

“I was so afraid I was going to lose you, Ava. I thought I would never get these moments with you again.” His thumb trailed softly against my lip. “I wouldn’t have survived.” His voice broke, full of emotion, and his eyes filled with tears.

I pushed my chest forward, breaking the distance between us, and I pressed my lips to his. “I am here, James. Because of you, I am still here. You saved me.”

“I would fight all the angels in heaven and all the demons in hell for you, baby. For our baby.” He touched my tiny swollen belly and pressed his forehead against mine, closing his eyes.

He undressed me and let his eyes roam down my naked body.

“You are so fucking beautiful, Ava. Seeing you carry my baby inside you makes me so fucking happy. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to be a man that is worthy of you and a father that our baby deserves. I love you and will spend the rest of my life protecting you and our child.”

“I love you, and we are both so lucky to have you.” I put his hand gently on my stomach. “Now, tell me you love me while you are inside me,” I whisper, need pooling between my legs. “Please.”

“Every fucking day, baby.”

He lays me down, and I spread my thighs apart. He ran his fingers up and down my slit, and I shivered in anticipation. His cock teased my entrance, sliding in and out as he spread my moisture all over his tip. Just when I thought I would burst, he pushed himself inside me, and the explosion of pleasure as he stretched me was almost too much. I gasped as he pushed deeper, filling me to the brim. He paused and looked at me with concern.

“Am I hurting you or the baby?”

“No, James. The baby and I are fine. It just feels so good. Please don’t stop.”

And he didn’t.

He thrust himself inside, and I could feel my pleasure building. Something about being pregnant intensified the sensations, and I knew I wouldn’t last long. I dug my fingers into his ass and pulled him to me. His lips moved up and down my neck, and he sucked my nipples into his mouth. My breasts were fuller than normal, and my nipples had become a darker shade of pink.

Another pregnancy side effect.

“I could never get enough of you.” He whispered in my ear.

“I’m going to come, James. I can’t hold it.”

“Wait for me, baby.” He moaned, his movements becoming faster.

I feel his grip tightening around me. Intense pleasure washed over me as I came with him, feeling his own release filling me. James let out a moan, and his body stilled. He collapsed beside me, his chest rising and falling as he regained his breath. He drew me close to him, and I rested my head on his chest, relaxing to the soothing rhythm of his breathing.

Everything I survived was meant to break me; some days, it did.

But all the pain led me to this moment.

This is a pure moment of happiness.

Sometimes, I thought the only thing I wanted to do was disappear, but now I realize that all I wanted was to be found.
