The only problem was that blowing up balloons all morning wasn’t making me feel good at all. About halfway through this last red one, I had to stop. I rested my head back against the couch and sighed.
“Damnit,” I said. “I was so close.”
David took the balloon from me. “I’ll do that one. Later.” He let the balloon fall to the side and deflate, then he reached for my chin and turned my head so I was facing him. “We have a little time before our guests start arriving. I was thinking…”
I looked down at my belly. “David, I love you. And I love having sex with you. But I’ve been on my feet all day, the baby has been tossing and turning for hours, and I just don’t think I would be very much fun in bed right now. I wouldn’t be able to do anything for you.”
He shrugged. “I’m fine with that. I wasn’t going to suggest you do anything for me. In fact, I was just going to suggest I do something for you.” With that, he kissed me and then reached one hand down my thigh and underneath my dress.
“David I—” But then he slid his hand into my underwear and the words were lost on my lips. I hadn’t been feeling very sexy lately, so it had been a few weeks since he and I had been intimate. That was the longest we’d gone without having sex since we’d gotten together, and I hadn’t realized how badly I wanted him until that moment.
In the living room, in broad daylight, with guests due to arrive very soon, he pleasured me with his fingers, kissed my neck, and told me I was the most beautiful woman in the entire world. I had a powerful orgasm right there on the couch and felt a lot of the tension leave my body.
Everything was going to be fine.
The party was going to be great, all our friends were going to be there, and we were going to celebrate the start of our new little family. I was so happy, so content, and so turned on that a part of me was thinking about straddling my man right there and giving him a sexy surprise in return. But before I could gather the strength, David took his hand back. I sighed and kept my eyes closed for a moment longer. “That was nice,” I said quietly. “Maybe we could—” I opened my eyes and saw that David was gone. “Where did you go?”
“In the bedroom,” he called from around the corner. He was making his way up the stairs. “Meet me in the bedroom.”
“David,” I said. It took me a second to get off the couch, especially considering I was a little weak in the knees from such an amazing climax. But eventually, I got up and followed him up the stairs and to our bedroom. “I do want to have sex, but I’m worried that the guests will be arriving soon and—”
I walked through the doorway and saw the room was covered in red rose petals.
And David was there. Bending down on one knee and holding a jewelry box out in front of him. “Lily—” he said.
“Yes! The answer is yes!”
“Wait.” He laughed. “Let me finish. I was going to say, Lily, will you—”
“Yes!”
“Marry me?”
“Yes!” I ran to him as fast as I could with such a pregnant belly, and he stood up to embrace me. I cried and laughed into his chest and then kissed him. “Yes, of course, I will marry you.” He slid the ring on my finger and I stared down at the gorgeous, simple diamond on a plain silver band. “It’s perfect.”
“You’re perfect.” He kissed me on the cheek.
We smiled at each other and said nothing for a few seconds, then the doorbell rang downstairs. “Looks like the first guests are here!” I said excitedly. “I can’t wait to tell them the good news.” I kissed him once more on the lips and then squeezed his hand. “C’mon, let’s go. We have alotto celebrate.”
“Just one more,” he said, pulling me back.
I laughed. “You always say that.”
“That’s because I always want one more kiss from you,” he said, kissing me. “And I always,alwayswill.”
