“There. Did you feel it?” I ask, and his smile is huge.
He climbs up on the bed, laying another hand next to the one already on my stomach. One of the babies kicks again, and he laughs.
“I did. It’s amazing.”
He finally removes his hands after a few more kicks, and then he looks down at me as I give him a serene smile, pointing down with my finger.
“Again?” he groans.
I smile and nod, continuing to motion with my hand. He moves to the end of the bed. I put one foot up, resting it in the middle of his chest, and he grins.
“Your wish is my command.” He reaches up, plants a thumb in the arch of my foot, and pushes down, rocking back and forth.
I groan in ecstasy, closing my eyes. “God, that feels wonderful. I should make it a law that you have to rub my feet every single night for the rest of our lives.”
“I can do it,” he says.
I crack one eye open to look at him. “Don’t you lie to me,” I say.
He chuckles. “I’m not, but I get to make a law for you in return.”
“What’s your law?” I ask as he leans down to pick my other foot up, thumbs making circles on the arch and moving outward. “I shouldn’t have worn heels today. What was I thinking?”
“You should always wear those heels. You looked fuckin’ sexy as hell.”
“Language, Benjamin. The kids can hear you.” I cover my stomach with a mock stern look on my face. “Anyway, what law would you pick?”
“I’d take a good old-fashioned blow job,” he says, collapsing beside me on the bed.
“Saw that coming,” I say, rolling my eyes and then turning to face him. “Thanks for everything you do for me, baby.”
I reach up to run my fingers through his hair, and he hooks an arm around my waist, pulling me to him. He dips his head down, laying a kiss right in the crook of my neck. Pulling back, he blows slightly on the wet spot, making goose bumps ripple down my arms. He moves his mouth down, planting a trail of kisses down my shoulder and arm. He stops to push me on my back and raises my thin T-shirt up and over my breasts before pulling it over my head.
“I wish I could see you like this every minute of the day,” he whispers.
Lowering his head, he takes one nipple in his mouth and sucks lightly, but it makes my back arch off the bed.
“I’m not going anywhere,” I say, pushing on his shoulder and climbing on top once he lies down.
I line myself up with his cock and lower down on him, not able to wait any longer. My body is aching to feel him inside me. My breasts bob with each grind, and I watch his eyes track their movements, his teeth biting his bottom lip as he concentrates on me. I can see the worship in his eyes, and it’s enough to almost make me come on the spot. I lean back, rocking my hips, and plant my hands on his thighs. With my body on display for him, he grabs my hips, keeping my rhythm.
Our moans intermingle, and we pant. The push and pull of his hands make me hot before he reaches with one thumb and presses down on my sensitive clit. The feeling travels up my body, and I see stars, throwing my head back at the climax made so much more intense by hormones.
He pulls me to him once I come down, breathing heavily. He grabs my bottom lip in his mouth, sucking on it as he pumps into me faster and faster until he, too, finds his release.
Our sweaty bodies collapse together, and we grin at each other, sated and exhausted and utterly happy. So. Damn. Happy.
Ben pulls me against him, spooning me as he wraps his hand around my belly, holding our family together. Danger trots in, climbing on the end of the bed, using his doggie ladder we installed. He’s getting a little older, and it’s hard for him to jump as high as he once could.
Right before we both drift off, he kisses right behind my ear and whispers, “Truth or truth?”
“Dang, that’s a hard one,” I whisper with a giggle. “Truth.”
“Do you love me?”
“I’ll love you forever and always,” I murmur.
“Always and forever,” he agrees before I let sleep take me.
