The house was dark, not a sign of life coming from inside. Slightly disappointed, I frowned to myself before turning off the car. I knew Jeff had to work today; Iâd had to work too. But still, since Iâd gotten off early, Iâd secretly hoped that he would be home to greet me. It was our last Valentineâs Day together before we had children. The newest edition to our family was growing in me every day. My once slender body had taken on new form. Feeling larger and more awkward than ever, I got out of the car and walked up the steps towards my home.
Twisting the doorknob, I groaned when I found it locked. I hated having to search through my purse and find my keys after already putting them away. Of course Jeff would have left the door locked, he always did. Frustrated with him and myself I slipped the key into the hole roughly, twisting the knob almost violently and pushed the door open. Inside the darkness overwhelmed me, and I threw my purse and coat down before looking for the switch.
For six months Iâd been creating life, and in those months my husband hadnât touched me once. He claimed that he was afraid of hurting the baby, and no matter how I insisted he wouldnât touch me, wouldnât toy with me, wouldnât pleasure me. Now I felt he was disgusted with my changing body, my swelling belly, and my breasts that didnât seem to stop growing. Depressed, I kicked off my shoes and found the switch, flipping on the overhead and drowning myself in light.
I barely had time to blink in the light before I was in darkness again, soft hands covering my eyes, another brushing my dark hair away from my neck.
âHappy Valentineâs Day, Jenny,â Jeffâs deep voice whispered into my ear.
Smiling, I began to turn around to kiss him, my depression and achy body almost forgotten.
âStay right where you are,â he whispered, keeping my back towards him. With his hand still across my eyes he leaned in and put soft, sweet kisses on my collarbone.
âJeff,â I murmured. âI was afraid you wouldnât be home.â
He seemed to ignore me and kept kissing my neck, making my whole body tingle. His lips were so soft.
âWill you be my valentine, Jen?â he asked, pausing his kisses only long enough to get those words out.
âYes,â I smiled, sinking back into his body. My hand came up to brush his away from my eyes, but he shook his head against my neck and I dropped my arm back down.
âThank you,â he whispered, and with his lips still on my neck he began to lead me through the house.
I let him lead me, melting into him with each step we took. Although we hadnât lived here long, it wasnât hard to recognize the direction as being towards the bedroom. My insides bubbled as I imagined what he had planned. Maybe it would be the release that Iâd been longing for these last months.
âIâm sorry Iâve been neglecting you, Jenny. I donât want to hurt you, or our babyâŠI know itâs sillyâŠbutâŠâ he trailed off, coming to a stop. I didnât hear him flip a switch, but light began to flicker through Jeffâs fingers. âIâll make it up to you, I promise.â
Slowly, my husband moved his hand away from my eyes, revealing the room in all its magnificence. Nothing was as I had left it that morning, and I couldnât help gasping in surprise as I laid my eyes on all of it.
The bed had been moved to the center of the room, itâs four posts standing tall, and a new pink comforter covered the top. As I walked through the doorway I felt surrounded by roses of all colors, red, pink, white, yellowâŠa rainbow of colors. Jeff had outdone himself and then some. Candles of all shapes and sizes had been placed on the tops of dressers and bookshelves, every one lit and flickering, illuminating the room in a magical way.
âThis is too much,â I whispered, turning around in Jeffâs arms to face him. âYouâve outdone yourself, baby.â
His lips came down and captured mine, his body totally engulfing me. For the first time in months he didnât hesitate around my slightly swollen belly, but took me as heâd done before we were married. I moaned into his mouth, my eyes closing and my reason lost, as his tongue penetrated my lips. Abruptly, he pulled away.
âLay down on the bed. In the middle. I have a surprise for you.â
I whimpered as his warm body left my side, but sat on the bed and scooted myself to the center. Jeff walked slowly around, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes smoldering with what I knew was desire. The bubbling inside my body rapidly turned to a heat of my own, waves of arousal coursing through my veins as I watched my husband pace. Behind me, around me, and then beside me. His hands left their places and reached for me, his body arching over mine and kissing me soundly again.
My lips parted slightly and once again his tongue ventured inside, caressing the bottoms of my smooth teeth and tentatively touching my tongue. I moaned into his mouth once again, almost instantly lost in the taste of him, and could hardly feel his hands as they swooped down to undo the buttons on the back of my maternity shirt.
Expertly he released the shirt, pulling it off of my arms and tossing it to the side of the bed. My well-developed breasts seemed to pour over the top of the outdated bra, an article of clothing I found to be quite uncomfortable. My eyes didnât open as Jeff touched those ripe fleshy mounds, his fingers softly rubbing the skin and then the fabric hiding my large nipples.
âYouâre beautiful,â he whispered, his lips only parting from mine for a moment. I longed to grab him, to pull him to me, but fear that he would change his mind haunted my insides. I longed for his body, I longed for his cock, I longed for his lips and his hands and his attentions. âIâm so sorry Iâve neglected you.â
His hands left my breasts to stroke my back, and with another moan I felt my breasts released from their bonds, the bra easily slipping off of my shoulders and joining my shirt on the side of the bed.
âLay down, Jen,â Jeff said softly, his hands pushing gently on my shoulders.
I moaned as I lay back, my hot eyes watching him beside me. He took my wrist gently in one of his hands and pulled a scarf out from beneath the pillow my head was resting on. I watched in surprise as he tied the silk fabric around my wrist, and then bound the other end to the post at the head of the bed. With no urge to struggle, I watched my husband walk around to the other side of our bed and pull out another scarf, giving my second wrist the same treatment.
âDo you still want to be my valentine, love?â
âGod, yes,â I moaned. I couldnât help the throaty sound my voice made, my desire was building inside me. The scarves didnât hold me tight, but offered me a chance to feel helpless and out of control. As my mind swam with emotion, my body swam with lust. I could feel the place between my legs getting hotter, and the familiar feel of wetness on my thighs.
Jeff stroked my stocking clad leg under my skirt, feeling the length of the limb up to my panty line. Slowly, almost reluctantly, his hand stroked the bulge of my belly, fingers sliding under the waist of my skirt and over the swollen skin.
âItâs so tight,â he said, wonderingly. I closed my eyes, reveling in his touch, and for the first time in months didnât despise his reluctance to touch me. The whole of his palm held close to my stomach, feeling me. Slowly he slid back under the skirt and found the waist of the pantyhose, pulling them down my thighs and off my legs.
Tugging softly on the scarves binding my arms, I writhed underneath my husband as he peeled the hose off my body. His hands returned to the bare skin of my legs, stroking up my calf and lingering at the backs of my knees, a place that he knew was especially sensitive. My body twitched, my flesh crying out for more. He moved his hands further up my legs, tickling the insides of my thighs, and then coming together at the crotch of my cotton panties. The dampness there had to be obvious, and I watched my husbandâs face as he watched my body tingle underneath him.
As his hands left my body I cried out, my voice pitiful and lustful. I wanted more than anything for him to keep touching me, to keep stroking me and feeling every inch of my flesh. I needed it, I yearned for it. But his hands had different intentions.
âLift up,â he coaxed, and after the briefest moment of confusion I lifted my hips so that he could tug the skirt off of me, adding it to the pile on the floor. The only piece of clothing keeping my body from his hands was my panties.
âPlease, Jeff,â I whimpered, shutting my eyes tight and thrusting my hips up to him.
âNot yet, baby,â he said, his hot hand coming down to rest on my belly again. Without the skirt in the way he had full view of my stomach, and began to trace around my protruding navel with his fingers. So lightly it tickled he stroked my stomach, feeling the ripe curves my body had developed over the last trimester. As many times as we had been naked together, I had assumed he wasnât concentrating on my body. Now he made up for lost time, taking his time in his exploration, touching me and teasing me, learning all the changes I had gone through.
Slowly he pulled away the last piece of covering my body had, peeling the panties off of my hips and down my legs, over my feet and adding them to the pile. I moaned, my hips taking on a life of their own, my knees spreading apart helplessly as I begged silently for his touch.
Pulling two more scarves out, Jeff gave me a questioning look. I only panted, giving him my consent by ceasing in my protest. Gently and lovingly he wrapped those last two around my ankles, pulling my legs to the corners of the bed and tying each to its own pole. Now there was no way to close my legs, but still quite enough room to writhe as he teased me, which I did in abundance now.
