Renewing our Vows

Chapter 12: Jealousy

            

"Well, 15 weeks along and your baby's doing just fine." Dr. Francis said as she wiped the gel from my stomach.

My eyes welled up with tears as I watched my beautiful little human on the monitor. When I finally tore my eyes from the screen and looked over at Alex, he was staring down at me in wonder. His eyes shining with unshed tears and a small smile playing on his lips, he gently leaned towards me to place a soft kiss to the tip of my nose.

"That's our baby," I whispered as he pulled back and tucked a lock of hair behind my ear. He nodded and squeezed my fingers in his hand.

"How long have you two been together?" she asked, breaking me from the trance Alex's beautiful chocolate eyes had me locked in.

"Almost a year," he answered her.

As we drove, Alex's hand rested on my slightly protruding stomach, something he couldn't seem to stop doing since we had found out I was pregnant. I couldn't tear my eyes away from his face as he drove, noticing the smile that slowly crept onto his face.

"What are you smiling about?" I asked and he turned to look at me briefly before his eyes returned to the road.

He shook his head and chuckled softly. "I just never imagined anything like this would happen for me."

"What do you mean?"

When he didn't respond, I took his hand in mine, interlocking our fingers and pressing a kiss to the back of his hand.

"What?" I urged after a long moment of silence and he sighed, squeezing my fingers.

"I never thought I deserved anyone. Never believed I would have a family of my own until I met you. Everything changed the moment I laid eyes on you." His face grew somber. He hated to show weakness so I knew it was difficult for him to get into this. 

He turned his head when we stopped at a red light, staring deep into my eyes and whispered, "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me."

I reached up immediately, pulling his lips down to meet mine and kissed him desperately, my desire for him suddenly being unleashed. Ever since I had gotten pregnant, my sex drive was almost insatiable. He groaned into my mouth and I grabbed his hand, pushing it downwards.

The car behind us honked, breaking us apart and he turned back to the road with a chuckle. "Good God, woman, what am I going to do with you?" I squirmed in my seat and took my bottom lip between my teeth.

"I've got some ideas," I whispered as he traced his nails up the inside of my thigh, dragging my dress up as he went.

His left hand gripped the steering wheel as his right climbed higher, coming dangerously close to where I needed his touch the most. I moaned, closing my eyes and dropping my head back against the headrest as he softly traced the hem of my panties. "Alex," I whispered.

He brushed his fingers across my clit, no doubt feeling the wetness already building there. The air grew thick as I struggled to breathe properly. His scent, the perfect blend of pine needles, whiskey and leather, suddenly overwhelming my senses.

When the car stopped again, I felt his gaze on my face and my need for him grew. I reached down, grabbing his hand and pushing it beneath the lace, feeling his skin on mine. His breathing grew ragged and he ran his fingers down to my entrance before dragging the wetness back up and rubbing circles into my clit.

"Ohhh," I sighed, my mouth dropping open and my hand shooting out to clutch his arm.

I could feel the familiar tightening deep in my belly and my hips began to move in time with his fingers.
