(Jill's POV)
She is naked in bed, replaying the events of the last few days in her mind, as well as their conversation yesterday, just before he took her inside to worship her body and make love to her.
She can't believe a new life has been created and is growing inside of her, something that is half him and half her, something that is both of them together.
It still feels like a dream, she thinks as she caresses her abdomen. The doctor warned her that it might take some time, so they were prepared. She had no idea she would become pregnant with their child within a month.
The night she believes they conceived comes back to her like a flashback, and she breaks into a smile so wide her cheeks hurt.
She loved Joe so much, he is the big love of her life after all, but her love for him has grown tenfold now with the gift of this baby, and she is so overwhelmed. When she told him she wanted to have another child, she had no idea what to expect. She was unprepared for this divine emotion, which was unlike anything she had ever experienced.
She can't take her eyes off him, her beautiful man. His naked body next to hers, tall and strong, resembling a Greek God. She is torn between disturbing his peaceful sleep and waking him up so she can have her way with him. He has never looked more beautiful to her than he does right now, her baby's daddy.
Her left hand begins to caress him, from thigh to shoulder, down and up, until it pauses over his heart. She smiles as she notices his steady heartbeat. She adores HIS heart. His big, strong, resilient heart is his most attractive feature if you ask her. There is so much love for her, their children, their friends and family, and this country.
After her first marriage failed, she never imagined she'd have a second chance at love, let alone with someone like Joe. She built these high walls to protect her heart, but Joe came along and knocked them down. He brought light and love into her heart, and she realizes now that it was with Joe that she truly learned love.
Love is strong, brave, and kind. She was terrified of falling in love again because she was afraid of losing herself. But now she knows that love should not make you afraid; rather, it should set you free. She looks at Joe now and she isn't afraid because she knows she is well loved.
Suddenly, she feels his hand caressing the inside of her thigh.
'Baby, you're thinking so loudly that I could feel you in my sleep,' he says, his eyes still closed. 'What are you thinking about?'
'You,' she says as she kisses his neck.
He groans and feels his entire body on fire for her. He turns to embrace her and kiss her, a passionate kiss, a kiss to quench and then ignite, a kiss to crave...Their hands wandering, their legs intertwining, their tongues exploring...
They come to a halt to catch their breath, their hearts beating in unison.
'You'll kill me one of these days,' he says as he settles into her neck and marks her, and she laughs, and she moans and groans, and she has to kiss him some more.
She pushes him, breaking the kiss, so she can get on top of him. Straddling his waist, she takes his hands in hers and intertwines their fingers.
He swears his heart skipped several beats as the sun rose over the horizon, illuminating the world and bathing her in golden sunlight. She is a dream in human form, HIS dream, and he can't get enough of her. His gaze is fixed on her, as if he is seeing her for the first time. Her stunning naked body towering over him, like one of the masterpiece statues he'd seen in museums, but none compared to her beauty. He adores her every curve and swell, the silkiness of her skin, and the golden of her hair. And her eyes, oh her blue eyes. The sky and sea merge in those eyes.
He lets out a contented sigh of love.
'Oh my goodness, the Senator is speechless,' she says, putting on a shocked expression.
'You're the only person in this world who can leave me both breathless and speechless at the same time,' he says, his million-dollar smile rendering her breathless. 'I love your eyes.'
'Only my eyes?' she teases him.
'You, the whole you, your everything. 'I love you so much,' he says, his hands caressing her thighs.
She takes his hands in hers and places them on her abdomen, where their love is growing into a new person. 'We love you, too, daddy', she says quietly.
'It still feels like a dream,' he laughs, as he rises from the bed, now facing her, their bodies touching and their hands all over each other's bodies. 'But it is our beautiful reality. Jill, I'm so so happy.'
She kisses him passionately, pouring all of her love and appreciation for him into that kiss. 'I believe it is time for you to show us how happy you are once more.'
'It will be my pleasure,' he says out of breath, and begins to caress her as if she were his favorite instrument to play.
His touch setting her skin on fire and her heart racing.
And she is shaken by the intensity of their passion, the depth of their love.
Life is wonderful!
