by Toshia Slade
I choke back a sob and a tear slips out. A few months ago when I ran out of my birth control pills and he said to stay off them, I thought for sure he would change his mind. As time passed the more excited he became of the thought of being a dad and starting a family together.
He leans down and kisses my tear away and unsnapping the clasp on my corset. “This is hot, but will it hurt the baby?”
I giggle, heart swelling with the love he already has for our child. “No, I’m only nine weeks, he’s okay in there.”
“It’s going to be a girl, with wavy hair and big blue eyes.” He places a kiss on my stomach.
I run my hands through his hair. “We’ll see.”
“Let’s celebrate and practice for the next one.” Running his tongue up between my breasts, he smirks and says, “I’m going to keep you barefoot and pregnant.” He sucks my nipple into his mouth.
“Mmm.” Electricity buzzes. I start undoing the buttons on his shirt, wanting to feel the hard planes of his chest.
He flicks my taut peak with the tip of his tongue, running his hands down my stomach, slipping them into my panties and dragging them down my legs.
I push his shirt off his shoulders and run my nails down his rippling muscles.
He lifts me up and moves me to the bed. Gently laying me down, he slips my boots off, and then quickly removes his along with his pants and boxer briefs.
My mouth waters when I see his cock jut out, his excitement evident by the tiny droplet glistening on the tip.
He crawls on top of me, pressing his mouth to mine, our tongues doing a slow dance. Full of passion and love, making me yearn for him to be inside me.
Moving his shaft to my swollen flesh, he eases in, drawing soft moans from both of us. His hips rock in a slow, soft motion, loving me with his body, and making me feel how much I mean to him. The intensity in his eyes, along with the emotion from the day, has my orgasm building fast. My body begins to quake and he picks up his pace.
“Oh, Cam, I love you.” I shatter into a million pieces, floating on thin air.
“I love you so much, Thumper.” He moans his release into my neck.
We’ve come so far and I never thought I would have Cam’s love, let alone mean so much to him and become his wife, the mother of his child. He’s my Prince Charming and I finally got my happily ever after.

Joey, thank you for picking up all the slack and making sure Will and I had dinner and clean clothes. Your love and support mean the world to me. Will, you are my whole world and will always be my baby, no matter how old you are.
To my family- Thank you all for being my number one fans and cheering me on from the sidelines. Mom and Becky, you all make me a giddy teenager all over again the way you go nuts over Cam. Linda, NEVER in a million years did I think you would pick my book up. Not only did you do that, but you were yelling for more. It meant the world to me.

The hours you’ve spent helping me, I’ll never be able to thank you enough. I heart you, chick!
