contorted and he looked up at her with a tortured expression, and she knew that he couldn’t stop himself.
“It’s alright,” she soothed him, bending forward to kiss his furrowed brow. His thrusting slowed and he breathed deeply, locking eyes with her. “The baby will be fine.”
He flipped her over on her back suddenly and climbed on top of her, his cock impaling her swiftly. He started fucking her so hard she began to wonder if his reluctance was justified. It filled her completely and she relished the satisfaction, having been months since she’d felt him inside of her. His frenzied thrusting pushed all thoughts of apprehension from her mind and replaced them with desire. She marveled while she watched him hammer into her with abandon, completely lost in her flesh. Gripping her ass, he started fucking her faster and faster until she had to stop herself from squirming beneath him, pressing her tongue against the roof of her mouth to keep from calling out. She was afraid that if she moved or made too much noise it would rip him out of his mania and she knew that his body desperately needed the release. Just when she didn’t think she’d be able to hold out any longer, he let out a growl and sank into her, his body shuddering while he collapsed on top of her. The weight pressing her into the bed made her boil over and she cried out in ecstasy while he pumped into her, releasing his frustration into her spasming channel as she clawed her nails into his back.
He flipped onto his back, covering his face with his elbow while he let out a sad groan. Now that she was satisfied Leah began to feel guilty for her trick, knowing that he would be angry with himself and likely her as well. She scooted closer to him without actually touching, watched his lips as they curled into a scowl as he clenched his jaw. It made her uncomfortable to see him so obviously upset, but she didn’t know what to do.
“Are you alright?” he whispered as turned toward her, his eyes full of concern when she was expecting anger.
“Of course. I feel so much better.” Leah cautiously placed her hand on his chest and moved closer.
“So do I,” he groaned as he pulled her into his arms. “But I shouldn’t have done that.”
“Adam…”
“You had a lot of nerve pulling that little stunt, Leah.” She stiffened in his arms, wondering if he would grow angrier as the afterglow wore off.
“I’m sorry. But I was so lonely.” Burying her face in his chest, she savored the contact that he’d been denying her in case it would soon be ending.
“So was I,” he murmured, kissing her hair. “I’m sorry. You’re just too tempting.”
“If we get another ultrasound tomorrow. If everything is alright, will you start staying with me at night again?”
He let out a long sigh as he pulled her face up to look her in the eyes. As he saw them fill with tears, he kissed her tenderly and wiped them away. Leah couldn’t stop herself from starting to cry harder as he cradled her in his arms again, rocking her gently.
“Hush.” She began to feel better as his fingers ran through her hair. “It’s ok, baby. I’ll stay.” They drifted off to a restful sleep, entangled.
In the morning, Leah awoke alone. She sat up with a start, looking around the room anxiously. It was very early, well before dawn and there was no reason that Adam shouldn’t still be sleeping beside her.
“I’m on the balcony,” he called, making her breathe out a sigh of relief as she pulled a blanket around her shoulders and walked out to meet him.
He was sitting on a wooden Adirondack chair that he’d made himself, facing out to look at the mist rising from the forest. It was one of her favorite spots to cuddle so she crawled into his lap and rested her head on his shoulder.
“You’re awake so early,” she yawned.
“I couldn’t sleep.” His face was filled with remorse.
“I’m really sorry,” she gasped, her voice trembling.
“Shhh,” he soothed her,
