Chapter 4 #3
“Tomorrow we’ll buy a test and get an answer.” He kissed her neck and jaw, blazing a trail to her lips. “Since there’s nothing we can do to resolve this dilemma tonight, how about I try to get your mind off it with some sweaty heat-wave sex?”
“That might help as long as you don’t care if I cry the whole time.”
“As long as you’re crying from the pleasure, I’m fine with a few tears.” He kissed her and patted her bottom to get her to stand. “Stay here. I’ll be right back.”
While he was gone, Maddie leaned against the rail, looking down on the yard as she thought of the possibility Mac had suggested. It was odd for her period to only last a day and not even a full day at that.
Mac returned carrying the handheld baby monitor, which he set on one of the teak tables that was part of their deck set. Then he set about removing the pads from two of the lounge chairs. He put them on the deck and held out his hand to her.
“Right here?”
“Right here.”
She snuggled up to him on the makeshift bed, resting her head on his outstretched arm.
“I hate to see you sad about anything,” he said.
“I’m sorry. I’m being crazy, and I know it—”
He kissed her soundly, silencing her words as much as her worries. “You’re not crazy. You’re adorable, and I love you.”
“Don’t be nice to me, or I’ll start crying again.”
“Fine then. You’re a shrew and a hag, and I still love you.”
She laughed even as tears filled her eyes. “How did I land such a fabulous husband?”
“You were very, very, very lucky.”
“Yes, I was.”
“We both were. And I’ll tell you what, if it turns out you aren’t pregnant, we’ll try again next month.” As he spoke, he removed her T-shirt and panties as well as his own pajama pants.
“I thought you never wanted to go through that again.”
“I never again want to see you in any sort of pain or danger. That’s the part I object to. Not the baby. So we’d do things differently this time. Make sure we’re where we need to be way before you’re due so there’s no chance of any drama.”
“Do you have any idea what it’d be like to have three kids under the age of five?”
“Worse than having two kids under the age of five?”
“I’ve heard it’s way worse.”
“You go from a man-to-man defense to a zone.”
“Huh?”
“Sorry, basketball joke. Basically, it means they’ll outnumber us.”
“Yes, they will. And how about when they’re all teenagers at the same time? What will that be like?”
“Will you be here with me?” Mac asked.
“Where else would I be?”
“Then it’ll be as fantastic as the rest of our lives will be. It’s all good, honey. As long as we have each other, they can’t defeat us.” As he spoke, he arranged them so he was behind her, his arm secure around her waist and his cock snug against her ass.
Maddie squirmed, trying to get closer to him, the position new and unfamiliar to her.
“It’s getting sweaty around here,” he said as he slid against her, the movement aided by the slight sheen on their skin.
“Mac… Hurry.”
“I’m not in any hurry tonight.”
The combination of the stifling heat, his nearness, the glide of his erection and the erotic thrill of making love outside had Maddie reaching for completion before he’d even touched her.
He flattened his hand over her belly and worked his leg between hers.
His hand slid from her belly to play with her breasts, tweaking her nipples and setting her on fire.
Her breasts were so sensitive that she almost begged him to stop touching her there, but he moved on, sliding his hand down to cup her mound as his cock nudged at her from behind.
Maddie gripped the corner of the lounge pad, looking for something to hold on to as he inched into her in small increments that were nowhere near enough.
“Easy, honey. Relax against me.”
“It’s so hot,” she said, moaning as the warm air heated her from the inside with every breath she took.
“Yes, you are.”
She pushed her bottom backward, aching for more. “I meant the air is hot.”
“That, too.”
No matter how hard she pushed back, his hand on her hip ensured that he remained wedged just inside her.
And then his fingers slid through the dampness above where they were joined, teasing and coaxing her toward release.
He made her crazy with a combination of shallow thrusts and the small circular movements of his fingers.
She was on the verge of pleading when he rolled them to the left until she was facedown and he was on top of her, plunging into her now with deep thrusts and insistent fingers that swiftly took her straight to heaven.
He collapsed on top of her, both of them sweating profusely and breathing hard as he continued to throb inside her.
“Anything you want, sweet Madeline,” he whispered in her ear, his breath making her shiver. “I’ll give you anything you want.”
Completely surrounded by him, she sighed with contentment. He always knew how to make her feel better. “I have everything I need as long as I have you and our family.” As she said the words, she decided that no matter what the pregnancy test showed, she’d remember to count her many blessings.
