When Harper began to come down from her high, Alex gently gathered her up into his arms off the couch and kissed her forehead. He brought her upstairs to their bedroom. He did not bother to close the door behind him before setting her on the bed. She hoisted herself up and worked her way into the middle of the body pillow that was currently taking up a big part of their queen-size bed so that she could rest on her back. The comfort that her back felt was almost immediate.
"This feels so good," Harper hummed, her eyes still closed. She liked how the padding felt against her growing belly, and she moved against the U-shaped pillow to sink deeper into its comfort.
"My beautiful, horny wife," Alex playfully said.
Harper gently opened her eyes to see him naked on the floor in front of her, boxers gone.
The long, slender, and powerful muscles of his body excited her to the core. After eight years, she still felt a pit in her stomach and a quickening of her heart rate every time she saw him in his naked state. She thought that she would eventually grow accustomed to the sight of him, but as she looked at him at this very moment, she realized she had been fooling herself; she would never get used to it.
"You can touch me too, you know, since I'm all *yours*," Alex remarked. His voice was suggestive. Then, while keeping his weight off of her, he crawled up on top of her.
Harper expected that he would ravage her, but instead, he dipped his lips down to hers and entwined his fingers in her long, dark hair. She couldn't help but hum in response to the sensation of his strong fingers rubbing the muscles at the base of her skull.
And then he kissed her.
He kissed her as if the night would never end, with long, drawn-out kisses making her toes curl with his tongue gliding over hers, and his mouth slanting downward over hers.
She felt as though they could kiss like this forever, but she felt she would burst if Alex didn't touch her soon.
*Fuck!* She was extremely wet and horny.
Alex eventually spread her legs apart and nestled between her thighs. She sighed breathlessly into his mouth. She could see that he wanted every square inch of their skin to come into contact with each other, but Alex propped himself up on his hands and avoided pressing into her stomach.
In slow motion, he dragged the erection with his hand over her wet slit, coating his cock with her arousal before claiming her mouth and kissing him passionately until neither of them could catch their breath.
"Are you ready for *me*, baby?" he asked, lifting his hip slightly before gently pushing the tip of his swollen cock within her. "Are you ready for *this*?" He dipped half of his throbbing cock into her. Groaning, he held himself steady above her with one hand, watching as a gasp escaped from her parted lips.
"*Always*…" Harper gasped, a look of pure ecstasy spreading across her now flushed face. When he slid his length deeper into her, her teeth bit into her lip and her nails pushed into his shoulders.
He started to softly rock his hips against her, his hard member sliding over her smooth folds, reaching that precise spot where she wanted him most with each pass, and she was astonished to find how close she was already when he had barely touched her. Her breathing continued to escape her with quiet whimpers. His hip motions were pulling her closer to the edge, his lips caressing and sucking at her neck, his teeth scraping gently against the sensitive skin.
In between a series of groans, Alex rocked back and forth, sliding his hard cock against Harper's wet center and smothering it with her juice, from base to tip.
"I'm going to make love to you and make you come so hard every night, my little horny wife," Alex drawled, delivering a low and gruff vow that caused Harper's insides to somersault and her core to contract firmly around him.
"Yes, please, swear to me that you will," Harper cried as she licked and nibbled at his lips.
He pressed his forehead to hers and thrust his tongue into her mouth, stifling her delicious moans. His final strokes were soft and shallow, moving slowly through her center as he kissed her face and neck, his hot breath ragged against her ear. "I'm coming... Harper... fuck!"
Harper clung to him, and he quickly picked up his speed, pounding hard and deep into her. He slid in, his mouth to hers, his juice filling her right away. Her flesh contracted around his length. He moaned her name between his lips. With her free hand, she reached up to caress the hair at the back of his head, bringing him close to her while he continued to move inside her at a steady rhythm.
She held him tightly, massaging his back ass cheeks and kissing his neck till he stilled and his breathing slowed.
Although he was still trying to recover after hitting his climax, Alex instantly seized Harper's mouth with his, kissing her fiercely. "I love you, cuddle bear," he whispered quietly when he pulled away, brushing his nose against hers.
Harper smiled and blushed as she said, "You're still inside me."
He smirked. "I know."
He drew back until only the tip of his throbbing cock was inside Harper, and then he thrust in hard and fast again. Keeping one hand flat on the bed and the other tenderly caressing Harper's cheek, he listened to her moans and felt the tightening of her legs around his waist as he slid in and out of her again and again.
"Oh fuck, Alex...Don't ever stop," Harper purred, pressing her nails into the firm muscles of his back.
Looking down and listening to her moaning and panting from the long, smooth strokes of his penetrating cock, Alex smiled smugly.
Harper took his hand that was petting her cheek and pushed it down, motioning for his fingers to rub her sticky, swollen clit. "I'm so close…"
Alex began to rub her in a quick little circular motion while gently sliding in and out of her body. He raised his head from her neck, resting his forehead on hers as he thrust in just enough to make her eyes flutter in extreme pleasure.
Their broken gasps and breathy moans filled the room as Alex continued to unite them together, his pelvic bone grinding down on her clit, shooting never-ending waves of liquid heat through her.
Harper was so close. So close.
"Come on, baby. Come after me, "Alex pushed her frantically, kissing and sucking her neck as his fingers and cock drove her to the edge. "Scream for me, Harper."
He moved harder and faster as Harper ran her hands over his body, groaning and gasping. She locked her legs over his hips and bucked into his thrusts. He dropped his head and began nibbling and sucking on her breasts while maintaining a steady beat with his fingers and cock.
"Oh, fuck!" Harper panted hard. "Oh my god, Alex! I'm coming, baby." As her mind and body spiraled out of control, she cried when the powerful ache and throb of ecstasy took hold of her entire being.
Alex kissed her, his cock hardly moving within her walls. His fingers stroked her with increasing pressure and speed around her now sensitive and swollen nub until her entire body stiffened and arched up.
Harper screamed when her orgasm finally swept over her in endless ripples of pleasure. She squeezed his hips; her whole body trembled and cried out Alex's name while her fingernails dug into her husband's back.
Just as he was each time they made love, Alex was again lost in the sight of her and the feel of her.
He kissed her lovely face, neck, and breasts. His stiff length slipped in and out of her convulsing wet center.
He smiled proudly. Before pulling himself out of her and rolling onto his side, he sucked a love bite on her breast. Bringing his face up to hers, he kissed her tenderly before pecking her cheek and pulling her close to him.
She blinked up at him, their foreheads touching. He brushed his fingers through her tangled hair, his pulse racing, and his heart pounding. He drew back slightly and kissed her on the cheek again.
"You alright?" he asked.
It wasn't until he expressed his concern that she realized she was shivering, her entire body still vibrating with the aftershocks of her climax. She nodded, and he grinned, reaching down to kiss her again briefly.
When he tucked a strand of her dark hair behind her ear, she pulled on his hand and smiled back. "*I love you*."
"You have no idea how much I love to hear you say that."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you don't say that very often!" Alex snorted, sighing against her neck and tugging her earlobe between his teeth. "But I'm glad because I then know that you actually mean it when you say it."
"Well, I do. I love you so much, Alex. And, not to feed your ego, but I'm crazy about you," Harper said quietly.
"It actually took you eight years to admit that you're crazy about me, huh. Well, sweetheart, I've already known it from the first time our eyes met," Alex jokingly said. Hearing that, however, made his heart sing.
Harper pressed her hands against either side of his face, urging him to look at her. "And *that*, Alexander Claude Carmichael, is one of the particular *few* things I really admire about you."
Alex let out a hearty chuckle, finding her response amusing.
"Well, unlike you, there are *a lot* of things I do like about you. For one thing, your no-bullshit attitude. And your selflessness." He kissed the corner of her mouth softly and added, "I truly adore and admire that about you. And I love you and our children more than anything in this world, Harper."
Just as he was about to kiss her on the cheek, he felt the baby kick in against his stomach. "Whoa!" Quickly, he retreated a bit from her. "Did you feel that?"
Harper laughed and took his hand in hers, resting it on her baby bump. "Yes, I did."
"She's a strong baby, isn’t she?" He broke into a grin as he lowered himself until he was at the same level as his unborn child. As he gently stroked Harper's stomach, he whispered, "Hello, my princess,"
Harper's hands rested gently on his, and the two of them savored the intimacy of the moment until they eventually fell asleep.
In spite of everything Alex and Harper had been through, the two of them had never looked back in regret. The past no longer weighed on them, and they were able to move on with their lives without fear or worry about what the future could hold for them because there was nothing more important to them than their growing family.
