Chapter 31
Cole, Six Weeks Later
Elizabeth is officially six weeks old, which means Ellie goes to her doctor today to see if she is cleared for normal activities. To say I am thrilled would be an understatement. It has been a long six weeks.
Ellie is still on maternity leave, but I have been back to work for two weeks now. Every day is a drag, and I can’t wait to leave and go home to my girls. Today I am leaving early so I can take care of Elizabeth while Ellie goes to her appointment.
I get home, and Ellie is carrying Elizabeth in her carrier while she cleans.
She has her earbuds in, and she’s dancing as she roams around.
I lean against the corner of the wall, watching her.
Thank God today is finally the day, because I don’t think my dick could handle another one.
She turns around and sees me and lets out a little yelp, and I smile.
“You scared me!” she whisper-shouts and looks down at Elizabeth. I walk up to her and peek at Elizabeth. She’s still asleep.
“I’m sorry,” I say and kiss her on the cheek.
“You are home earlier than I thought you would be.”
“I didn’t have anything going on, so I decided to leave.”
“Well, welcome home.” She smiles up at me, and I smile back and kiss her.
“Well, since you are home, will you take her so I can go and get cleaned up for my appointment?”
“Of course.”
She takes off the carrier and hands it to me. Once I get it on, she hands me Elizabeth. Surprisingly, she sleeps through the transfer. Ellie walks into the bedroom. I look down at Elizabeth. “What are we going to do, baby girl?” I whisper to her.
I pick up where Ellie left off cleaning. After a little while, she comes out of the bedroom. How this woman makes any clothing look sexy is beyond me. She’s wearing yoga pants, a T-shirt, and sneakers. The outfit is simple, but she looks amazing in it. She sees me staring at her and smiles.
“I’m going to go to my appointment now.” She kisses me before she leaves.
Ellie
It has been six weeks since Elizabeth was born.
From a parent’s perspective, this time has flown by.
I cannot believe she is six weeks old already, but from a sex standpoint, these six weeks have felt like ten years.
The other day while Cole was at work, I ordered the perfect outfit to put on when I get home, and I cannot wait.
I’m at the doctor’s office, and the doctor walks in the room. “How are you doing, Ellie?” he asks.
“I’m doing good.”
“Let’s get everything checked out, and then you’ll be good to go. Have you been having any pain?”
“Not really. I had some for the first week or two, but since then it’s been fine.”
“Good. Well, let’s check you out.”
We get through the appointment, where I am cleared for all activities. Now I really cannot wait to get home.
I make the short drive home and rush to get inside. The elevator opens, and I go to find Cole. He is in the living room with Elizabeth, and they are lying on the floor. He must have heard the elevator when I got here because he’s already looking up as I walk in the room.
“Hey,” I say, smiling.
“Hi, Ellie Girl. How was your appointment?”
“Good. Does she seem hungry?” I ask him.
“She might be.”
“OK, I’m going to feed her and then lay her down for a nap.”
“All right.”
We sit on the couch while I feed her. Once she’s done, I take her into her room and lay her in her crib.
Then I go into our bedroom and grab the outfit I picked out for today out of the closet.
I put it on and look in the mirror. I still have a bit of the baby weight, but this outfit does a great job at hiding the areas I am insecure about.
I use my phone to turn on music in the living room.
Once I hear it playing, I walk out to the living room, where Cole is sitting in his favorite chair.
He was already staring at our bedroom door, and when I walk into the room, his gaze trails up and down my body.
I walk so I am standing in front of him, and I start dancing for him.
I slowly move closer to him, and once I get right in front of him, I climb on the chair so I am straddling him.
He moves his hands to my hips. I start grinding on him to the beat of the music.
“You look incredible,” he rasps out.
“So do you,” I say, then start kissing him.
“I assume the doctor cleared you?”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Fuck. Thank God.” He groans.
He stands up and holds me to him. I wrap my legs around his waist, and he carries me toward the bedroom as I kiss on his neck.
He lays me down on the bed and starts pulling my outfit off me. “This looks amazing on you, but I want to see all of you, Ellie Girl.”
Once I am lying in front of him, he starts trailing kisses all over me.
Then he grabs my knees and pulls me to the edge of the bed and drops to his knees.
He kisses both sides of my thighs and then trails a kiss up to my clit.
He circles my clit with his tongue. “Cole, I’m not going to last long.
It’s been too long, and this feels so good,” I say through heavy breaths.
He stops licking me. “Good, because I won’t last either. I cannot wait to be inside you. It’s been too long.”
“Then why aren’t you?” I ask as he starts using his fingers on me.
“I’m just getting you good and ready, Ellie Girl.”
“I’m always ready for you, Cole.”
“Fuck,” he says and stands up.
He strokes himself as he looks into my eyes.
“Cole, please.”
“Move back on the bed,” he says, and I scoot back. He reaches into the nightstand and grabs a condom, then follows me between my legs, and once I get far enough up, he grabs my hips. Once he is lined up, he slams into me.
“Oh. Fuck,” I yelp.
“I’m sorry. Are you OK? I didn’t think about how you might be sore.”
“I’m fine. It hurt for a second, but I’m good. It feels good.”
“It feels incredible. I’ve missed this so much,” he says as he starts slowly easing in and out of me.
“I’ve missed it too.”
“I love you,” he says.
“I love you too.” I reach up and run my hands along his body. He’s being too gentle, clearly worried he’s going to hurt me. “Hey, Cole?”
“Yeah?”
“Harder,” I say.
“Harder?”
“Yes. Harder.”
“I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You won’t. I promise.”
Slowly he starts thrusting into me harder, and I moan.
“Fuck, I’ve missed your sounds almost as much as I’ve missed fucking you.” And he starts slamming into me harder. He reaches down and starts circling my clit with his thumb.
“Cole,” I moan out.
“I’m so close, baby. Are you ready to come with me?”
“Yes,” I moan.
He uses his other hand to pinch my nipple, leading to my climax, triggering him to climax as well. He pulls out of me and flops onto the bed beside me, breathing heavily.
“I needed that,” I say, laughing.
“Me too.” He laughs too.
He checks the baby monitor, and Elizabeth is still sleeping. “Come on, let’s go take a shower.” I follow him into the bathroom, and we take a shower together.
We get out of the shower and get dressed, and a few minutes later, Elizabeth wakes up. I get her out of the crib and feed her, and then we spend the rest of the night relaxing together on the couch.
