Michelle glanced over at the clock on the night stand and wasn’t surprised that it read 3:00 a.m. She had been awake all night and simply could not achieve a comfortable sleeping position. She continued to stare at the clock as it rolled over…3:01…3:02…3:03….She rolled her eyes upward in disgust and thought she might go insane if she had to lay there awake for another 4 hours. She was bored to tears. She glanced over at her husband who was, at the moment, right in the middle of a sexy dream about his wife. Michelle could see the motion of his eyes moving back and forth rapidly under his eyelids. The corners of his mouth almost formed into a perfect little smirk.
"Great" she thought. "He’s completely lost in a dream and here I am, staring up at the ceiling." She lay there for a few more minutes contemplating whether or not to wake him up and finally decided that it really wasn’t fair. If she was going to be miserable dammit, so was he.
She rolled over on to her right side and gently leaned in to his face and paused for a moment to listen to the sound of his breathing. It was a beautiful sound. Her eyelids fluttered and softly closed as she continued listening, taking it all in. She watched his bare chest rise and fall with every breath and she began to ache for him. Her eyes trailed from his chest down to his abdomen and she admired the ripples that his stomach muscles made. The lower her eyes went, the more her breathing started to increase.
She stopped at a small patch of hair just below his belly button that followed down and disappeared into his silk boxer shorts. Her lips formed into a sexy smile as she remembered the first time they had made love. He had told her that the patch of hair was a trail that led to "all evil." She had laughed at the time and assured him that it was an "evil" she was willing to encounter. Her eyes went back to his face and studied it for a second and thought how incredibly long his eyelashes were for a man. The naturalness of his brows completed the look of his incredibly beautiful eyes. Eyes that she never, ever got tired of looking into.
She moved in closer and brushed her lips ever so lightly across his. She pulled back and waited….nothing….not a single movement. He was completely lost in his dream. She leaned in again and this time took the tip of her tongue and softly licked his bottom lip with a tickling motion. He began to stir this time, but still, it wasn’t enough. At this point, she decided she was going to have to pull out all the stops. She leaned into his ear and traced the outer portion with her tongue while her left hand inched its way down his chest….across the pit of his stomach….and melted into the top of his silk boxer shorts, headed straight for "Evil." Her lips followed slowly behind her hand and settled on the valley of his stomach where she placed small, delicate kisses. Her hand found "Evil" and she was surprised to discover that he was already fully aroused. She quickly glanced upwards to see that he was grinning from ear to ear. She had been so lost in what she was doing that she hadn’t even noticed that he had been awake and watching her with desire in his eyes, just waiting for her next move.
"Well, well, well" exclaimed Danny in his sexiest voice. "You look like a kid who just got caught with their hand in the cookie jar."
Michelle was immediately embarrassed and her red cheeks were the proof. She removed her hand from his boxer shorts and reclaimed her position next to him on the bed. "I couldn’t sleep" she pouted. I’m having a very difficult time getting comfortable and I’m bored to tears." I, I……, well, I just thought that I would do something to help pass the time. I didn’t mean to disturb you."
"You didn’t mean to disturb me?" he laughed. "Did you honestly think that you could do that to me and I wouldn’t be disturbed." "Good Lord Michelle, I could be dead, and that would bring me back to life." Michelle rolled over on her side facing the wall and the small of her back fit perfectly in the curve of his stomach as he held her from behind. She smiled a secret grin knowing the pleasure she brought to her husband. She could always get to him.
Michelle felt dizzy as Danny’s warm breath blanketed her ear. "Do you know how crazy you make me?" he whispered. "God Michelle, you are so beautiful, so full of life. I think about you all day. I dream about you all night. You consume my every thought. No matter how many times I make love to you, each time is like the first for me."
Michelle was complete putty in his hands. Danny pushed her hair out of the way and began pressing butterfly kisses against the nape of her neck. He rested one hand on her belly and caressed it lovingly while his mouth trailed down to the small of her back sending shivers up her spine. He slowly lifted up her nightgown and she sat up for just a moment to assist him in taking it off. She lay back down on her side, and he continued on his way. The palm of his hand inched its way down the side of her beautiful form and found the waistband of her panties. He slid his index finger underneath the band and tugged downward until they were sliding over her creamy thighs, down over her calves and finally over her feet and onto the floor.
Danny sat frozen, completely mesmerized by the beauty that lay before him. Her honey blonde curls flowed over her shoulders and the moonlight danced across the bed making her more beautiful than even he could imagine. She truly took his breath away, and no matter how long they had been together or how many times they had made love, he still couldn’t get over the fact that she was "his."
Michelle reached out to him, beckoning him to come to her. Their fingertips touched and sent electric shocks through both of them. He reclaimed his position behind her on the bed and wrapped his right arm around her belly and nestled his chin between her shoulder and her neck. Michelle reached backwards with her right arm and played with the soft curls that framed his face. "I love you Daniel Santos" she said - "More than life itself." "I love you Michelle Santos" he replied - "More than life itself."
With that said, they both closed their eyes and let nature take its course. Michelle pressed harder against him and she could feel that he was fully aroused, and she wanted him and everything he had to offer. Breathlessly, and in the faintest of whispers, she said "I want you Danny." Not being able to wait any longer, he complied and entered her from behind. Their bodies moved together in unison, and they became one. Danny’s right hand never left Michelle’s belly and they both reached heights of pleasure that was unimaginable.
Afterwards, they both whispered sweet nothings to each other and Michelle was never more relaxed. With Danny holding her tightly, she felt for the first time that she could finally get some sleep, and that’s exactly what they both did. All of a sudden, she was jolted out of her peaceful slumber and sat straight up in bed with a look of complete terror on her face.
"OH MY GOD! DANNY, WAKE UP, WAKE UP! Danny had been in a deep sleep and the sound of her screams jolted him completely out of the bed and he landed with a hard thump on the floor. Totally disoriented, he jumped to his feet and began to reach for an object - any object to protect his wife. He looked around the room and saw nothing. He flipped the light on and turned to Michelle. "What - what’s wrong" he half screamed.
"I’m sorry honey," she
said. "I didn’t mean to scare you, but my water just broke."
Danny's knees buckled and he fell at Michelle's feet as the realization of what she had just told him sunk in. His trembling hands formed a loving cup on her cheeks and he gently caressed her with his fingers. When he was finally able to speak, his voice was filled with deep love and concern for her. "Chelle, sweetheart, are you ok? What...., what can I do for you?"
And then in an instant, his expression switched to terror and his eyes immediately went to her swollen belly and his hands followed, rubbing her abdomen, as if searching for any pain. His eyes drifted back up to her face and he could barely choke out his next words. "Dear God Chelle, pain....are you in any pain, does it hurt?"
Michelle was touched by his concern for her, but couldn't help but laugh at him. She placed a single finger under his chin and lifted his face up so that his eyes were looking directly into hers. "Danny, honey - look at me - I'm fine sweetheart. I'm not in any pain. I haven't even had a contraction yet. My water just broke, that's all. I'm o.k. Danny, really I am."
Relieved by her words, Danny pulled her into his arms and held her for a moment and then placed a gentle, lingering kiss on her lips.
Tears of joy began to well up in Michelle's eyes at the mere thought of giving birth to Danny's baby. She couldn't believe it. The tiny delicate creature that they had created together during one of there many lovemaking sessions 9 months ago was going to be born soon.
"Danny," she said as a single tear rolled down her cheek, "can you believe it? We're about to have a baby - our baby. We're going to be a family."
Danny embraced her again with all the love that he had and felt his own tears fall at the mere thought of seeing his beautiful wife cradle their baby in her arms. He was overcome with emotion and he didn't want this feeling to end. He lowered his head into Michelle's lap and placed the softest of kisses on her stomach and then whispered to his unborn child "I love you."
The next hour was somewhat of a comedy. Michelle had had her bag packed for the hospital for several weeks now and was ready to go at a moments notice. Danny, however, was another story. He was to excited to remain calm and was running around the house like a mad man trying to make sure that everything that needed to be done was done.
He grabbed up Michelle's bag that had been sitting in the corner and took off running with it out of the room. As he raced down the hallway and reached the top of the stairs, he lost his footing and tumbled head first down the first flight and landed with a loud thud on the landing.
Upon hearing all of the commotion, Michelle ran to the top of the stairs only to find her husband sprawled out face first on the landing below and her bag lying next to him.
"Danny! Danny! Are you o.k.?"
Danny raised his head and glanced backwards at Michelle who was frozen at the top of the stairs. He began to move around and discovered that nothing had been broken, so he sprung to his feet almost as quickly as he had fallen.
"I'm perfectly fine dear, nothing to worry about. I'm just going to go put your bag in the car and I'll be right back." Michelle just shook her head and headed back towards the bedroom.
When Danny finally returned, Michelle was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting. "Danny, could you please just slow down for one second - please. You're making me a nervous wreck! Please, just sit down and take a breath. We haven't even called Dr. Sedwick yet. I need to tell her my water broke and find out what she wants me to do."
"You're right Michelle honey, I'm so sorry. I'm just so excited, that's all."
Danny sat down on the edge of the bed next to Michelle and held her hand while she picked up the phone and dialed Dr. Sedwick. After waiting a few moments, she was finally patched through and was able to talk to her. Dr. Sedwick wanted Michelle and Danny to come to the hospital immediately since her water had broken. Michelle told her that she had not had a contraction yet, but felt some pressure. Dr. Sedwick told her they were only going to give her 24 hours to have this baby on her own because of the risk of infection. After that, she would have to have a c-section.
Michelle hung up the phone and explained to Danny what Dr. Sedwick had told her. Danny sensed a slight tone of panic in Michelle's voice when she told him about the c-section possibility. He gathered Michelle and their unborn child in his arms and assured her that everything would be fine.
"I love you Danny," she said. "I love you to Chelle. I promise you that everything will be just fine, and before you know it, I'll be snapping pictures of you holding our beautiful new baby in you arms."
With that said, Danny and Michelle proceed out into the hallway and he carefully assisted her down the stairs as she wobbled back and forth, out the front door and into the driveway.
"You stay right here honey. I'm going to go around and get the car and I'll be right back. I love you."
"I love you too Danny, hurry up."
Michelle was standing in the driveway waiting for Danny when her first contraction hit, and it was a good one. She sat down on the front steps of the house and started the breathing techniques she learned in lamaze class.
"Come on Danny," she thought to herself, "what's taking so long?"
About that time, she saw the black jaguar come around the side of the house and it sped by her and out the front gate. All she could hear was the squealing of tires and there was nothing but a cloud of dust left in the driveway to remind her that he had ever been there.
Michelle looked on in disbelief as
she shrieked "I CAN'T BELIEVE HE FUCKING FORGOT ME!"
