His Touch

“We have to be careful,” I say against her breast as I move up to her mouth. “I need to go easy on you because of the baby.”

She moves lower on my cock, taking another inch inside her, and I moan at the sweet torture. God, I’m not going to last ten seconds now.

“It’s fine. I promise to tell you if it hurts. I need you, Thomas.”

I will never deny her anything, so I kiss her softly as I sink even further into her. I glide slowly through her wetness until she’s taken me all the way to the root. When I’m fully seated in her pussy, I raise myself a little so I don’t crush her tummy.

I can taste her juices as I kiss her, and I inhale, wanting to smell it while I make love to her. I grip her hips and tilt them so that every time the length of my cock pushes back through her folds, it rubs her clit. With just a few strokes, she’s squeezing my shaft and digging her nails into my shoulders.

“That’s it, sweet girl. Mark me up. Make me yours,” I growl, and press my forehead between her breasts. They brush against my cheeks as we move, and I can’t hold back. “I’m cumming.”

The pulse of my cock triggers her own orgasm, and I can feel her climax up and down my length as I empty inside her. I lasted longer than I thought I would, but it’s still not enough. I cum, but it feels like I’ve got about a dozen loads left before this beast is going soft.

Rolling us over, I pull her on top of me and hold her close to my chest. I slowly thrust in and out of her, not ready to stop making love.

“Again?” she asks in disbelief.

“I’ve got a lot of time to make up for.”

“We’ve got forever,” she agrees, and I wrap my arms around her.

“Damn right we do, sweet girl.”

“I should have never left,” he mumbles into my ear. I’m on my side as he absently strokes my baby bump. He can’t seem to stop touching it. “I didn’t want to. I got cornered into it once I found out who was going to be running the mission if I didn’t. I can’t give you all the details, but I’ll give you some.” He pauses for a second. “That’s a lie. I’ll tell you all of it if you ask.”

“No, tell me what you can.”

“My sweet girl, never wanting anyone to get into any trouble.” He kisses me below my ear and continues.

“Young guy, just got married, twin girls on the way. Kid is still wet behind his ears for what they wanted him to do. I trained him. Knew he wasn’t ready for something like this, but they were going to send him anyway, so I volunteered. I thought I’d be fine. In and out. Haven’t done a mission since I got Maggie, but I thought one would be fine. Never again. I even told them that. This was it.”

He lets out a long breath and kisses me below the ear again.

“When I was headed over there, I’d realized I’d messed up. I kept picturing you like I always do when I’m not with you, and I was thinking about the last time I’d seen you, telling you that I had to leave for a few days. That was the moment that came to mind, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. You had a lost, worried look on your face. I wanted to kick my own ass for not seeing it. Of course you had that look. I’d spent months trying to make you fall in love with me, months trying to get you to see what family was really like, and then I went and left. You were thinking God knows what, thinking I left you so easily when I knew losing people is what you’re most scared of, why you’ve been fighting us coming out. You didn’t want to hurt anyone or lose anyone. You want everyone else to be happy.”

He rubs his nose against me. “God, sweet girl, I’m so sorry for that. But I knew in that moment that I had to leave my job as soon I got back. I couldn’t be in a place to even chance it. Chance being roped into a mission or whatever might happen. Chance ever leaving your side because I want to give you that. I want you to know I will always be at your side. I will never leave you.”

I roll, turning to look at him.

“I don’t—”

He cuts me off, taking my mouth in a hard kiss.

“Don’t say some crap about you should be stronger or that I should keep my job. I don’t want the job. I felt relief about leaving and about spending my time with you, being a dad again, coming home and making you finally tell everyone what was happening with us, starting a new journey in life.”
