“Mhmm, I see the way you are with the kids. You like to be hands-on. You could easily pass them off to others, but you don’t. And when you do, you worry about it, even though they aren’t your kids. You’re naturally maternal and like to be involved in your child’s everyday life.”
My eyes widen at how well he can read me, while a soft blush spreads over my cheeks. He rubs the tip of my nose with his, chuckling quickly. “I told you, Angel. I know you. I’ve always seen you.”
“I’ve always seen you too, Shane.”
Chapter twenty-nine
Shane
A little trip to lollipop town.
~ The Next Day ~
I wake up to the sound of the shower running, blinking the exhaustion away as my cock stiffens beneath the sheets. I could blame it on morning wood, but I know that’s not what’s making me hard. It’s the sound of the water and the thought that Aubrey is in there right now, completely naked with her hands gliding over her smooth wet skin.
I fight the urge to jump out of bed and join her because I know the instant I step into that bathroom, I won’t be able to keep my hands off her. We’ve stopped having shower sex due to the pregnancy. After an almost slip, I’ve developed a new fear that she could fall during the act and hurt herself or the baby. She keeps trying to taunt me, but I get this unsettling feeling every time we start and then I lose my erection.
It was then followed by a huge scene where Aubrey started crying uncontrollably because she thought I wasn’t attracted to her anymore. It took me a good half hour to calm her down. I know it was the hormones taking over and she couldn’t control what she was saying or how she was acting. But I don’t want to take the chance and have it happen again, only for her to really start believing that, because it couldn’t be further from the truth.
Taking my length in my fist, I begin to stroke it leisurely as I picture her in there. Her soapy hands running through her hair, then down her perfect body as water cascades over her ample breasts. God, they were already glorious before, but now with the pregnancy, I would gladly die of suffocation by them.
My fist moves faster as I imagine her hand roaming down over her swollen belly, between her legs. The way her lips would part when the tip of her finger would touch that sensitive bud just waiting to be explored. The beautiful sounds that would fall from her lips, the way she would moan my name as I’d take her fingers away and replace them with mine.
“Shane?”
My eyes snap open at the cautious sound of her voice. I hadn’t even realized my eyes had closed, nor did I hear the shower stop.Jesus, I was really lost in thought.“Angel. I didn’t hear you get out.”
She nods slowly as I realize I’m still holding onto my dick. I quickly retrieve my hand, but my erection is hard to miss even beneath the sheets. “Do you… do you want me to go?” sheasks quietly as her eyes gloss over and her bottom lip begins to tremble.
“No!” I shoot out of bed, my arms out, palms facing her.God, I’m such an idiot!Now she probably thinks this is what I do every time she’s not with me. “Sweetheart, no. It wasn’t like that.” I walk over to her quickly.
“It’s fine, Shane. I get it, my body’s changing and I’m not as attractive. I don’t blame you for needing to do this.” She wipes one of her tears and tightens her hold around her towel, turning her head to the side and looking away.
“Baby, please don’t cry. I swear it’s not what you think, I was picturing you. I wanted to come join you in the shower, but I’m so scared that something happens in there and I hurt you, that I forced myself to stay here. But I couldn’t get the image of you naked in the shower out of my head.”
Taking a step closer to her, I place my hands on either side of her face and force her to look at me as I wipe her tears. “I promise, Angel. I don’t want or think about anyone else but you. And I love how your body is changing for our daughter, just like I’ll love it once she’s born, too. Please believe me, sweetheart. There’s only ever been you in my mind.”
She sniffs, her eyes searching mine. “You were really thinking about me?”
I nod. “I was. I was picturing you touching yourself in there and then how you would react if I started touching you instead,” I admit as her cheeks get rosier by the second.
“I wish you had joined me…” she whispers.
I lean in, pressing my forehead to hers as I close my eyes. “Gosh, I wanted to, so badly. I feel like I’m starved for you, Aubrey.” I chuckle, pulling back to look at her. “Which is ridiculous since we have sex every day.”
“Well, we didn’t yesterday,” she says quietly with a smile and a deeper blush. “But I just took a shower and I’m a little hungry…”
I close my eyes again and grown. “It’s okay, I can wait until tonight.”
“Shane, I don’t think you heard me correctly.” She releases her hold on the towel and reaches up with one hand, capturing my nape. “I said I was hungry.”
Her other hand travels down past my abs and tightens around my length that’s rapidly coming back to life now that I understand exactly what kind of hunger she wants to satiate. She brings her mouth to mine just in time to swallow my moan.
I keep my hands on her hips as she kisses a trail down my neck, over my collarbone, until she lowers to her knees and looks up at me with those big, beautiful eyes. And I swear, my own knees grow weak.
God, she’s everything.
She strokes my cock as she parts her lips and brings the tip to her mouth, never breaking eye contact. She presses a kiss to it, then darts out her tongue and flicks the head, collecting the little pearly drops before twirling her tongue around the top.
