Max POV
The company has been giving to Alex, and everything is moving smoothly with us pretending nothing ever happened. I just hope that this ends well, if not, then I’m doomed for life.
“Are you ok?” Ariel’s voice pulls me out of my train of thought, and I raise my gaze to see her standing in front of me with a questioning look on. I feel bad for not telling her about what is happening, but I don’t want her to worry about anything, which was why I never bothered to tell her.
“Hmm. I’m fine. Come here,” I pull her close after I stand up, rubbing my hand on her big stomach. She should deliver her baby in a few months to this, and I want everything to be fine by then. I don’t want to worry about anything.
“It kicked just now,” She chuckles as I place my ear on her stomach, and quickly pull away from her.
“Really? It really kicked?” I blink my eyes as I stand up to look at her. Gosh! I was waiting for the day I would see the baby kick, but maybe I was just not lucky enough to see it.
“Yes, it did,” She smiles widely at me, and I roll my eyes disappointedly.
“I wanted to see it for myself,” I pout my lips, and she giggles as she throws her head back.
“You know, you’re cute when you make that face, hmm?” She chuckles as she stares into my eyes, and I blush hard.
“Don’t flatter me. My cheeks are going to burn,” I quickly cover my face and she giggles.
“Stop acting like a baby, will you?” She rolls her eyes as she walks over to sit on the bed.
“Am I not your baby, huh?” I flip my hair and wink at her.
“Gosh! You are so… cute!” She utters as she covers her face with her palms.
“Don’t make me blush, please,” I whine as I sit beside her on the bed now.
“Whatever! My waist hurts. Can you help me give me a massage?” She asks as she lays on her back, and stares at me.
“Sure, why not?” I reply to her. She is wearing her nightie with just a pantie underneath it. Her nipples are pointing at me firmly, and damn! It’s getting me distracted. We’ve not made love in a long time because of the occurrences that kept coming up, and I’m scared I would hurt the baby. Of course, I really wanna get down with her, but I also don’t want to hurt our baby.
“Where?” I ask her as I hold her waist gently.
“Everywhere,” She whines, and I chuckle. I am not good at this, but fuck! I will do anything for my wife. I press her waist gently, while she moans softly.
“Come on, don’t moan like that,” I roll my eyes at her, as I’m already feeling my manhood twitches as the sound of her voice, the urge to pin her to the bed and make sweet love to her surges through me, but there is no way I would such a thing. She is pregnant for goodness sake!
“Why? I’m enjoying it,” She bites her lip and winks at me, and fuck! I know what she’s trying to do now.
“Are you seducing me?” I blink my eyes at her rapidly, and she pouts her lips.
“I want you, Max… Let’s make love, please,” She whines as she wiggles on the bed, and I sigh briefly. Doing that is just making things worsen, and it’s crazy.
“Come on, we can’t do that. I’m going to hurt the baby…”
“You won’t. Just be gentle, and don’t go too deep if you’re scared of hurting the baby,” She blinks her eyes cutely at me, and I feel my heart flutter. How my innocent surrogate baby mama who was so scared of sex then suddenly became my wife, and now demanding sex is really crazy. What a great plot twist.
“Babe…”
“Come on, husband. You know, the doctor said we should do it more often so I won’t have difficulty during birth,” She reminds me, and I scoff.
“That was then, baby. You are almost seven months pregnant now, and your stomach is so big. Who knows how many creatures you have in there,” I chuckle, and she pulls a pleading face.
“After today, you’re not going to ask for more again, will you?” I finally nuzzle my face in her neck and whisper as I tease the nape of her neck, and that is all it takes for her to moan my name softly. Fuck! The way she moans my name each time we make love always drives me crazy and gives me the urge to want to do more, but this is not the right time for that. It’s just not the right time, not when she’s this heavily pregnant.
It didn’t take much time before we were both naked on the bed, with me on top of her, trying so hard not to lay on her body so I won’t hurt the baby. It’s crazy and risky to make love to a pregnant woman, but fuck! I can’t resist it now, especially now that she wants it so badly.
Yeah, the lovemaking was brief but worth it. She couldn’t stop moaning all through it, and I also felt good.
“That was great,” She breaths heavily as we both lay side by side on the bed minutes later, staring up at the ceiling.
“Yeah, it was,” I glance at her and smile.
“Should we shower together before we sleep, huh?” She asks as she places her head on my chest.
“No, go ahead. I’ll shower later,” I reply to her, knowing we may end up doing another round in there, which is what I don’t want. It’s not that I don’t have the strength for it, I just don’t want her to get hurt.
“Come on. We should shower together,” She pouts her lips, and I sigh briefly, knowing she won’t ever change her mind.
“Alright then,” I stand up and sweep her from the bed, heading to the bathroom afterward. I drop her carefully to her feet once we are inside the bathroom, but she wraps her hands around my neck, not wanting to let go.
“What are you doing, babe?” I ask her as I stroke her hair.
“I just want to hug you,” She replies to me in a low tone, and I smile as I pull her into my arms, hugging her tightly, but in a way that won’t hurt the baby. I feel so blessed to have her in my life. She gives me a feeling I never had before, and I can say that I’m lucky to have her in my life.
Silence creeps into the atmosphere, I can feel her heart beating rapidly as she rests her head on my chest. I crease my eyebrows when I feel something warm drop on my chest, and I need no one to tell me that she is crying again.
“Are you crying, babe?” I ask her as I slowly pull her away, and I was right. She is really crying.
“What happened? Why are you crying? Are you feeling pain anywhere? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?” I ask her as I hold her cheeks in my palms while staring into her eyes.
“When will all these be over? When will things go back to the way they used to? I’m scared… I’m scared things may go worse,” More tears stream down her cheeks, and I scoff.
“Come on, stop crying. Are you kidding me? Don’t be a crybaby. I told you everything will be fine, and it’s very soon, okay?” I assure her with a smile, and she pouts her lips.
“Are you sure?” She asks, and I roll my eyes as I wipe the tears from her eyes.
“Yes, I promise,” I kiss her forehead before I pull her into my arms again…
