of men did. It blew him away that she was willing to go through this
for his son. Ash could stare at her shifting belly for hours, and his
hands never strayed far from her when he was near. The first time the
baby had pushed a little foot against his palm, he’d cried sappy tears.
“Look at these pretty little toenails. How was the morning at the
spa?”
“It was awesome. Kerry got me all relaxed and worked out all my
sore and stiff spots,” she murmured with a sigh as he lifted a foot and
sucked a cute little toe into his mouth and suckled on it, making her
moan in pleasure. “Baby.”
“Mmm-hmm,” he murmured in a sexy, assenting tone as he
moved to the next toe. He loved being able to help her relax and feel

good. Allowing it to pop from his lips, he asked, “What did the doctor
tell you?”
“Mmmm, to be patient for a few more days. Emma told me there
was something we could do that was safe and effective and might
encourage Will to get the show on the road.”
“What’s that?” he asked as he nuzzled her instep with his lips,
making her shiver and giggle in response.
“Sex, lots of sex. Orgasms and semen both can bring on
contractions. We won’t be able to have sex until six weeks after he
arrives, and so she says that we should have lots of sex.”
“That’s her professional diagnosis? Lots of sex?” His dick
hardened enthusiastically at the thought.
“Yep.”
“I think we should follow doctor’s orders. You feel up to this?”
“Actually, I’ve been thinking about it all day, and I’m more than
ready. I’m practically horny.” She giggled as he helped her rise from
the couch and put his arm around her and helped her back to the
bedroom. Though Juliana had struggled with feeling unsexy and had
been downright uncomfortable the last few weeks, it hadn’t stopped
her from getting creative with him.
He helped her undress, one article of clothing at a time, starting
with her pants. She hated the way she looked in them, so he got them
out of the way fast. Then he undid the buttons of her top. He kissed
her belly as he moved higher and higher then hummed in appreciation
as he nuzzled her fragrant cleavage. He slipped her panties from her
hips and unclasped her bra, then spent a minute tonguing the velvety
undersides of her now fuller, lush breasts. He grinned as he felt his
son kick against his cheek where it lay on top of her belly. She smiled
lovingly at him, and he nuzzled her belly with his lips on the spot that
moved.
As he unbuttoned his shirt and toed his boots off, he kissed her
tenderly, careful to not to bump her belly. She pushed his shirt from
his shoulders as he unbuckled his belt, removed his blue jeans and his

boxers. Soon he was as naked as she was, and they stood kissing in
the dim lamplight, their bodies pressed against each other.
Her doubts about her beauty had grown with each new pound and
every new inch, and she wondered what she’d be like after the baby
came. He reassured her every chance he got, but he felt the best way
was to show her with the way he loved her. Ash had become a
foreplay connoisseur, doing research and trying it all out on her to see
what she liked best. Juliana promised him his instincts were great. He
knew what she liked and for how long and where, and in the process,
he’d developed an even greater love for her incredible body. She’d
told him several times that it was hard to feel unbeautiful and unsexy
in the face of such love and devotion.
He helped her lie down and get comfortable with a pillow propped
behind her back so that she wasn’t flat but not completely on her side
either.
“So, you’ve thought about making love all day, darlin’?”
“Yes, all day long.”
“Is your pussy throbbing right now? Are you wet for me?”
“Yes, very wet. Thinking about your loving right now is making
me clench.”
“Good.” He stroked her nipples with his tongue, sucking them
into turgid little peaks. He could taste the barest hint of her early milk,
and delighted in the rich sweetness. She moaned in pleasure, her
thighs scissoring against each other.
Ash kissed her shoulder and beyond, his lips gliding down to the
inner curve of her elbow then down to her wrist before sucking on one
or two of her fingers. He pressed his lips to her hip, and he kissed and
licked under the curve of her belly, causing her to sigh in pleasure and
sink her fingertips into his hair. He slid his fingers across her mound
and around to her other hipbone. His goal was never to tease or
torment her to greater heights, but merely for her to feel his love and
