Aww can I come?
Nate
Why on earth would they want you there? It’s for the parents, dumbass
Arch
I mean just in case Cole isn’t there, shouldn’t one of us know what to do? *eye roll emoji*
Nate
As opposed to the midwives, you mean? *face palm emoji*
Me
Thanks Archie but we’re good. I’m nervous guys, don’t know what to expect
Ethan
I saw on a movie once that they sat in a circle, rubbing their partners stomachs, and talked about the birth…in gory details…I’d definitely pass on that
Rafe
Don’t be a dick *middle finger emoji* you wouldn’t if it was the love of your life having a baby!
Ethan
Never gonna happen since I’m A) never having kids and B) never getting married…bachelor all the way
Cas
Jesus, do you two always have to bicker. Don’t worry, Cole, you’re gonna be great
“Cole! Can you come here for a second, please?” Lacey’s shouts have me dropping my phone and running to her bedroom. WhenI burst through the door, I don’t know whether or not to laugh or put her over my knee.
She sits in the middle of her almost empty bedroom, surrounded by the last few boxes left to organise before she gives her keys back to her landlord. Her eyes meet mine, and her cheeks flush.
“Uhm…I’m kind of stuck down here. My leg has pins and needles, and I can’t get back up.” One side of her mouth lifts up, and she shrugs.
“What am I going to do with you? I told you to leave this, and I would help.” I walk over to her and grab hold of her hands while helping her to stand. Holding her hand, I walk her out of her bedroom and to the ratty old sofa that sits lonely in the living room.
“I just wanted to get it done and move into our new home, that’s all. I underestimated how tired I would get.” She looks lovingly down at her stomach and rubs a hand around it. “Ugh, I feel so bloated and huge. I can’t see my feet anymore, and these shoes are in no way supportive or comfortable. It’s September, Cole, and it’s getting cold. What am I going to do when it’s officially autumn and even colder?”
I go to respond, but she carries on.
“I have eight weeks of pregnancy left. I am in no shape to be called sexy. I don’t feel sexy anymore, Cole, and you don’t think I’m sexy because you haven’t been near me in a week, Cole! A WEEK! Sorry if my body disgusts you so much that you…”
I don’t let her finish what she’s saying. From my position, kneeling in front of her, I push open her legs with my body and cage her in with my arms. She lets out a squeak of delight when I push her further back into the sofa.
“If I haven’t already told you every single day that I love you, that I think you’re amazing and sexy as hell, then I’m sorry. Never think for one second that I don’t find you attractive,because I do, whether you’re pregnant or not, Lacey. It’s you and always has been you.” Her eyes start to well up, but we aren’t going to have any tears. My lips land on hers, and I kiss her with force, pouring everything I have into that one kiss. It doesn’t take long before she’s kissing me back with just as much force.
Today she wears a white tank top and a long, flowing black skirt with daisies printed on it. I break away from our kiss, and she looks at me, confused for a moment. I pull her towards the edge of the sofa and start to bunch her skirt up to just underneath her breasts. She leans back, eyes falling closed as I slide her underwear down her legs and off.
I push open her legs until she’s bare to me and spread out like my own personal fucking delicious buffet. I drape her legs over my shoulders and, at the first gentle lick, she gasps. Her fingers thread their way through my hair as she grabs hold of the strands, guiding me to exactly where she wants me.
Flattening my tongue, I lick all the way from the bottom to the top, flicking my tongue over that sensitive bud. She squirms in my hands, trying to get me to hurry up.
“There is no fucking way I am doing this fast, Lacey. With every lick” – I flatten my tongue again –“every bite” – I gently bite down on her bud – “every fucking suck” – I suck it between my lips – “I am going to make sure you know who you belong to, who makes you feel this way, and who fucking loves you to the ends of the earth.”
