Expecting Desires

Alex guided his very pregnant wife, Maria, down onto the bed with utmost care. At seven months along, she was radiant to him, though she often felt self-conscious. Tonight, he was determined to show her just how beautiful and desirable she still was. Maria bit her lip. "I feel huge," she murmured, placing a protective hand over her belly. Alex shook his head and leaned in to kiss her slowly, one hand tenderly cradling the curve of her stomach. "You are gorgeous," he whispered against her lips, "and I want you." A shy smile tugged at her mouth at his words. Gently, Alex helped her out of her loose dress, revealing the lacy maternity bra and panties she’d worn in an effort to feel sexy. The sight made his heart swell. "So sexy," he breathed. Maria laughed softly, relaxing a bit as he peppered kisses over her shoulders and the upper swells of her breasts. She tugged his t-shirt off, eager to feel his skin against hers. They moved carefully, Maria reclining against a pile of soft pillows while Alex knelt between her thighs. He slid her panties down, marveling at how wet she already was for him. Slowly, he entered her, both of them moaning at the familiar connection. Alex kept his weight on his arms, hovering over her to avoid pressing on her belly. Their movements were unhurried and gentle, a slow rhythm that allowed them to savor each sensation. Maria’s eyes fluttered closed, her lips parted in pleasure as she murmured his name. She felt safe in his arms, desired and loved. Alex watched her face, captivated by her beauty—by the life they had made together growing inside her and the love shining in her eyes. With each tender thrust, Maria's concerns melted away, replaced by rising bliss. Her fingers dug into his shoulders as her orgasm blossomed, a soft cry spilling from her lips. The sight and feel of her tightening around him pushed Alex over the edge soon after. He groaned, careful not to collapse fully on her as waves of pleasure rushed through him. In the quiet aftermath, Alex gently rolled to Maria’s side and gathered her into his arms. She nestled against him, resting her head on his chest. "Thank you," she whispered, tears of happiness in her eyes. Alex kissed her forehead, rubbing her back in slow circles. "For what?" he asked softly. "For still wanting me like this." He smiled and tilted her chin up to meet her gaze. "I’ll always want you, Maria. Always." As thunder rolled gently in the distance and their baby kicked lightly between them, Maria closed her eyes, content. In Alex’s embrace, she felt more loved than ever.
