Not Expecting to Collide (COMPLETE) - ABP Fanfiction

Chapter 64 - Unafraid

In spite of her insisting she was fine, Bam helped October into the house before returning outside to retrieve the groceries from their shopping trip. October filled the kettle and put it on the stove to boil. Each time Bam came into the kitchen with another armful of bags, he would set them down, come to her wherever she was standing, wrap his arms around her and give her a sweet kiss. Then he would put his shoes back on and go get another load of packages from the truck. He repeated this until everything had been brought into the house.

October poured two cups of tea and handed on to him as she stood at the island counter. He took a sip, winced at the high temperature and set it aside to pull her into his arms.  "Are you sure you are okay?"

October grinned at his concern. " I promise I am fine." She pulled him closer to kiss him on the mouth. Bam's arms tightened around her waist and he splayed his hand across her back to press her body closer to his. October ran her hands down his chest making him moan in wanting. It had been far too long since she had touched him like that and both of them knew it. She tugged his shirt from his jeans and began to pull apart the buttons on the front. Just as their kiss began to get more heated, Bam pulled away. October frowned but nipped at the corner of his mouth playfully and slid her tongue along his bottom lip. She opened her mouth to him and his tongue slipped inside, timidly at first but then more demanding. Bam's gentle hands found their way underneath her top. He caressed the smooth skin of her back, before moving down to cup her bottom to lift her up. October brought her thighs up around his waist as he sat her up on the countertop. She pushed Bam's shirt down off his shoulders and tangled her hands into his hair, pulling him closer to plant kisses along his jawline. When she began to tug at his belt buckle, he covered her hands with his, set them on top of her legs and took two steps back.  "What's wrong, Bam? You've never played hard to get before." She said teasingly. Her smile faltered when he shook his head. "Oh, I get it." She whispered.
"You do?" He sounded relieved.
She looked down at the floor. "You don't like the way I look anymore." Bam's eyebrows shot up as she continued. "I don't turn you on anymore. I'm pregnant and huge and ugly."
Bam chuckled. She looked up at him sharply. "Is something funny?"
"Yes, you are."
"Me?" She nearly growled.
"You are beautiful." He started. "You get more beautiful every day because you are pregnant, not in spite of it. If you think I don't want you, nothing could be further from the truth." He took her hand and placed in on the front if his jeans. "This is what you do to me." Octobers eyes flew up to his and she actually blushed.
"Then what's the problem?" She squeaked.
Bam sighed heavily. It was his turn to blush. "I'm afraid I'll hurt you." He looked away from her. "Or the baby." He felt stupid. Her angry expression softened. She reached up to smooth a strand of hair away from his face.
"We've spent too much time being afraid. Afraid of what Myra could do. Afraid of how your father would react. Afraid of what the other is thinking. I'm tired of being afraid." She linked her hands around the back of his neck. "Aren't you?" Bam nodded. "You're not going to hurt me, Bam. Just let go. No more being afraid."
Bam rested his forehead against hers. "No more being afraid." He repeated. He scooped his arms underneath October's thighs, pulled her closer around his waist and carried her upstairs to her bedroom. He laid her gently on the bed and took care in removing her clothes. She watched him lovingly as he softly kissed each tiny piece of newly exposed flesh with the removal of each article of fabric from her body. When she lay in front of him completely bare, he leaned back to drink in the sight of her. "Damn woman, what you do to me." He whispered. He stood to shuck his bottoms and pulled his tshirt over his head. She reached for him as he returned to her and he went willingly into her arms. Bam ran his hands and mouth all over her body, teasing, touching, stroking. He captured one of her erect nipples in his mouth, making her gasp and tangle her hands in his hair. He trailed kisses down the valley between her breasts, over her rounded belly and lower to nip at the inside of her thighs. October moaned at the rasp of his beard against her delicate flesh. His tongue was quick and warm and she took in a sharp breath as he pressed it deeper into her core. The coil at the base of her spine wound tighter. Her hips bucked and her breathing came in short pants. Bam lifted his body to move above her and her body immediately yearned for his heat.
"Do you want me to use a condom?" He asked huskily.
"It's a little late for that now, don't you think?" She watched him bite his lip. "I mean I know I'm clean. I was tested at the beginning of my pregnancy. Has there been anyone else?" She asked apprehensively, wondering if she should be afraid of the answer.
"No." He whispered softly, bringing his body heat back to her. "There was no one else. You have to know that I never stopped loving you."
He slanted his lips over hers before pushing himself inside her. He moaned into her mouth as he sank into her velvet depth. "You feel so good."
His thrusts were gentle and timid at first. "Don't hold back, Bam." Her lips brushed against his throat as she whispered. "Just let go. No more being afraid." She clung to him as he kept a steady rhythm. Her sweet encouragement drove him to a more frantic pace. Her hips rose to meet his every thrust, faster and deeper until she felt herself  come undone. She clung to him desperately as she cried out his name. He teetered on the edge as her silken insides quivered all around his arousal. "I love you." She repeated over and over. Bam held tighter around her waist, pressed her into the bed and kissed her deeply. Bam lifted her leg and brought her thigh up by his side. He grunted when the new angle allowed him deeper inside her. He let himself go. His body jerked spastically over hers as he came inside her. She sucked on his tongue until his movements stilled.
Fear of crushing her caused him to roll off her quickly. She whimpered at the loss of his weight on her. He gathered her into his arms and stroked her skin with his hands until both their breathing slowed. No words were needed as they drifted off to sleep in the safety of each other's arms.
