Believe: A Wanted Christmas Page 3
I kept my weight off of her as I covered her face and neck with kisses. Once I got my breath back, I placed my hands on her face and looked into her eyes. I always wanted her to know how I felt about her. I never wanted her to ever doubt my love for her.
“You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on, Manda. I love making love to you more than anything. I love you so much, pumpkin.” I gently kissed her nose and winked at her.
I watched as her eyes filled with tears. I rolled over and brought her with me as we lay on our sides and just looked into each other’s eyes. I wiped away the tear that was slowly making a trail down her cheek towards her ear.
“Baby, why are you crying again?”
She let out a small giggle and put her hand on the side of her face. “Do you know you say that to me every single time we finish making love? I love it so much and I can’t even begin to tell you how special it makes me feel.”
It felt like my chest exploded. I smiled and said, “Good. I want you know how special you are to me and how much I love you. I’d be lost without you.” I closed my eyes and opened them again. “I just thank God every day you didn’t walk away from me.”
She shook her head and said, “Never. I’ll love you until the day I die.”
I leaned closer to her and kissed her. “I guess we should get some sleep. I still have a few more presents to buy Meg and we need to bring everything out to Gunner and Ells the next morning.”
She laughed and sat up. “Brad! You are going to spoil this child. She has so many toys now.”
“I know, but it’s her first Christmas, Manda. It has to be special,” I said. I looked at her with pleading eyes.
She laughed and flopped back down on the bed. “She’s not even going to remember this Christmas.”
I pulled her closer to me and said, “But we will.”
“Okay…I’ll give you that. Fine. But only for a couple of hours. I have stuff to do tomorrow before we head to Mason.”
I smiled knowing she wanted to go and buy more toys just as much as I did. “It’s a deal. Let’s keep some presents home for when your parents come over Christmas evening.”
She nodded her head and mumbled something before I heard her breathing slow down and my angel was fast asleep.
I closed my eyes and tried to get some sleep but every time I fell asleep I kept waking up to the same dream. Amanda standing in a field smiling at me and as I moved closer to her I saw her pregnant stomach. Right before I would get to her, I would wake up. Every single time.
I sat up in bed and looked at the clock. It was almost six in the morning. Maegan would be waking up soon. I looked at Amanda, who was sleeping like a baby. I quietly crawled out of bed and threw on my boxers as I made my way downstairs. I went to the kitchen and looked in the refrigerator. I pulled out the eggs, bacon and ham. I started to scramble the eggs as I put the bacon in another pan and reached under the cabinet for a frying pan for the ham.
I pulled out two glasses and put them on the table. I grabbed Meg’s sippy cup and placed it next to the other cups. Then I took out the plates and put one down for each of us. As I turned to go back to the stove, I saw Amanda standing against the bar smiling.
“Whatcha doing?” she asked.
I smiled back and said, “I’m making my wife and daughter breakfast.”
She pushed off the island and started walking towards me. “Maegan is still fast asleep.” I noticed she had on a robe, which was weird, because Amanda was one to always get dressed when she woke up.
“Ahh…yeah she is, but…I um…” I looked down at her as she bit down on her lower lip. Fuck…why was I getting so damn turned on? I watched as she walked right up to the stove and turned everything off.
“Baby, I’m cooking and the eggs are…” I stopped immediately as I watched her open her robe and drop it to the floor.
“Holy shit,” I said as I moved my eyes up and down her body. She was dressed in nothing but white lace panties. When I looked up she was just barely smiling at me. I dropped the spatula and walked over to her as she slammed her body into mine.
The way we began kissing each other was like we hadn’t seen each other in months. “Brad…oh God…I want…I want…” I was kissing along her neck as she was frantically pulling my boxers off.
“What, baby? What do you want…I’ll do whatever you want,” I said, panting.
“I want to feel you inside of me…now. I want…oh God, I can’t believe I’m going to say this.”
I pulled back and looked at her. “What? What are you going to say?”
She looked down and then peeked back up to me and said, “I want you to…” she turned her head and looked away as she whispered something. I moved my head forward, straining to hear what it was she was saying.
“Manda, I can’t hear you, baby.”
She looked back at me and rolled her eyes. “Ugh! Damn it, Ari and Heather said this would be easy!”
I was so confused now. What in the hell is she talking about?
“Amanda, you can say anything to me. You know that.”
She looked at me, and her eyes changed. I swore they turned gray. “I…um…”
She closed her eyes and when they opened again I almost wanted to suck in a breath of air.
She took a deep breath and said, “I want you to f**k me. Fast and hard.”
What? I had to grab onto the counter because my knees buckled at the sound of my wife asking me to f**k her fast and hard.
I couldn’t say anything at first, and I saw the fear in her eyes. I moved my hands and placed them on her stomach as she jumped. I slowly moved it down the barely there panties and in one quick move I ripped them off of her. She let out a gasp as I smiled and said, “Oh hell, Manda…” She smiled and bit down on her lip as I motioned for her to turn around with my finger. When she just stood there and smiled I turned her around and pushed her over the table as I moved my hand down and into her. Shit! She’s soaking wet.
I placed myself right up against her and teased her for a few seconds before I slammed my dick into her from behind. She let out a gasp and said, “Yes! Oh God yes, Brad!” I grabbed onto her h*ps and began doing just what she asked for. I f**ked her fast and hard and did everything I could to hold off.
When I saw her reach her hand down and start touching herself, I had to bite the inside of my cheek to keep from coming.
“Manda…I can’t…hold…off…much…more,” I panted.
“So close! Ahh…yes…I’m going to come Brad…harder!” She yelled out as I tried to give her what she needed.
I could practically feel her squeezing me as she came and I couldn’t hold off any longer. I grabbed her tighter and pumped a few times more as hard as I could before I leaned over her body…overwhelmed with one the most intense orgasms of my life. Trying desperately to catch my breath, I kissed her back and slowly pulled out of her. She turned around and began kissing me. I could hardly breathe, but the way she was kissing me—if I thought I could, I would have taken her again right then.
I pulled back from her and said, “Jesus, where in the hell did that come from?”
She smiled and said, “Oh, it’s always been there…I just needed the guts to act on it.” I shook my head and laughed. “You never cease to surprise me, do you know that?”
She ran her tongue along the top of her teeth and then scrunched her nose. “I hope not!” She walked over to the stove and turned everything back on before turning back towards me. “The eggs might be dried out a bit but I’m okay with that,” she said as she winked, bent down and picked up her panties and walked out of the kitchen. I stood there…half nak*d… in the kitchen…smiling like an idiot.
I f**king love my wife.
Chapter 3: Amanda
I stood there and watched Brad fill up the basket with yet more toys from ToysRUs. “Really, Brad?” I looked into the cart and saw an Alphabet Activity Cube, a Laugh and Learn Smart Screen laptop, a LeapFrog Touch Magic counting train, a Walk N Roll rider bike, a little shopper play set, a Disney princess doll, a cell phone with keys and remote control, which I thought Brad got a little too excited about, and a Candy Land game.
“Brad, she can’t play Candy Land yet,” I said as I put my hands on my hips. My parents were watching Maegan for us while we went shopping, and it was a good thing since we’d been in the store for almost two hours.
“Yeah, but we can play it,” Brad said with a smile.
“Why would we want to play it?” I asked, giving him a confused look.
He shrugged his shoulders and pushed the cart down another aisle. “Oh no…” I whispered. We were down the baby doll aisle.
“Should we get Alex one?” he asked.
“No! I’ve bought all the kids their gifts already. No more,” I said as I rolled my eyes. But then, I saw the cutest baby doll ever. I quickly glanced at Brad who was looking at one a little too closely. I quickly put four dolls in the cart, one for Alex, Grace, Libby and Maegan. I looked at Brad and started laughing.
“What in the hell are you doing?”
He looked up at me and said, “This thing goes potty. How in the hell does it go potty and why would you want it to go potty?”
I let out a laugh as I walked up, took it out of his hands and put it down.
I grabbed him by the arm and pulled back over to our cart and began pushing it as I said, “Come on, I’m starving, and I need food before I pass out.”
I’d never laughed so much as I did with my parents and Brad while we wrapped Christmas presents. Maegan had been exhausted and actually fell asleep before we shut her bedroom door.
“So y’all are leaving in the morning to head to Mason, right?” My mother asked. She had been giving me funny looks all night. Like she wanted to say something to me but didn’t know how.
“Yep. Heather and Josh are staying with Jeff and Ari, and we’re staying at Gunner and Ells’. It’s going to be crazy insane, but I cannot wait,” I said. I looked at Brad and he was smiling.
Gunner and Ellie came up with the idea of everyone spending Christmas Day at the ranch. We were telling the kids that Santa left all the presents at Gunner and Ells’ place and we would all open gifts there. Then, Heather and Josh were going home to spend Christmas evening with his parents, and we were doing the same with my parents.
“Ellie already has a plan of action of how it’s going to go down. Her main thing is that none of the kids are going to be allowed to just rip into gifts. They need to enjoy them, so it’s one at a time,” Brad said, rolling his eyes.
My mother laughed and said, “That will work for a few years when y’all can control them, but the older they get…they are going to want to rip into the presents.”
I let out a giggle. I think next year it’s already planned—Christmas morning at our houses and then we will go to Gunner and Ells’ place, where the kids will exchange gifts.”
