I watched as she took everything off and stood there. I looked her body up and down and then began to take my clothes off. The chill in the air wasn’t even noticeable…I was breathing so hard and Amanda’s chest was heaving up and down, turning me on even more. Once I was finished undressing, I walked over to her and stopped right in front of her. I took the back of my hand and ran it down from her face all the way to her stomach. When I touched her, she sucked in a breath of air and I smiled when I remembered her doing the same thing the other night.
“Amanda…”
She slowly sat on the bed and then lay down. I moved and hovered over her body. I felt the tears building and she smiled as she leaned up and kissed one away.
“Brad, please don’t cry. ”
I smiled and brought my lips to hers as I gently kissed her. “I get to make love to you…while you’re pregnant with our child. ”
She giggled and said, “You’ve been making love to me the last few weeks and I’ve been pregnant. ”
I shook my head and closed my eyes thinking back to the last few weeks of being with her. Every time I’m with Amanda it feels like the first time. “No…this time is different. ” I moved closer to her and then I slowly entered her body.
“God Amanda…I don’t ever want to leave this moment…ever. ”
She gently ran her fingertips up and down my skin, and I felt goose bumps cover my whole body.
“Kiss me, Brad,” she whispered.
I slowly began moving my lips along her neck and up to her lips. I kissed her slowly, passionately and for what seemed like forever.
I took my time making love to her. I wanted her to feel every emotion I was feeling.
Once we were done making love, I lay there and held her in my arms. Moving my fingers up and down her arm, I took in a deep breath and slowly let it out.
“What are you thinking about?” Amanda asked me in a sleepy voice.
I smiled and said, “You. ”
She looked up at me and put her chin on my chest and smiled. “Me? What about me?”
“You know…the usual stuff. How much I love you. How wonderful of a mother you are. How you’re such an amazing wife. How you love me and believe in me. How you never gave up on me and walked away when I gave you so many reasons to. ” My voice cracked at the end and I closed my eyes to keep myself from crying like the pussy I was.
She slowly got up and crawled on top of me. I put my hands on her hips and looked at her beautiful face.
“Do you know why I’m all those things?” she asked as I shook my head.
“Because of your love and because you believe in me. I couldn’t imagine my life without you in it, Brad. I wouldn’t ever want to. I love you so much. Please don’t ever doubt that or doubt our love. ”
I sat up and put my hand behind her neck as I began to bring her lips to mine.
“I never would. Ever. ”
Chapter 5: Amanda
I opened my eyes, stretched and smiled. I’d never felt so wonderful in my life. I smiled as I thought about last night in Gunner and Ellie’s barn. I brought my fingers up to my lips and gently ran them back and forth over my still kiss-swollen lips.
I looked to my left and Brad was gone. I sat up and glanced over at the portable crib and Maegan was not in there. I slowly got out of bed and made my way into the bathroom. I let out a gasp as I saw the vase of roses sitting on the sink. I quickly looked all around me and laughed.
“How?” I said as I walked up and smelled them. I brushed my teeth and changed as I made my way downstairs. I heard Ellie and Brad talking in the kitchen. When I walked into the kitchen, they both stopped talking as they looked at me with big goofy-ass grins on their faces. I looked at both girls sitting in high chairs eating. I couldn’t help but smile at the sight.
“Merry Christmas sleepy head!” Ellie said as she walked over to me and gave me a hug.
I hugged her back and looked at the stove. “Jesus, what time did you get up? I’ve never seen so many things cooking at one time!”
Ellie looked back at the stove and laughed. “Gunner wanted to have a big ole Southern Christmas breakfast. Everyone should be showing up any second!”
I looked around and saw biscuits, gravy, blueberry muffins, sausage and egg casserole, glazed apples, French toast, pancakes, bacon, grits and ham, and even more items were in both ovens.
