Amanda is two months old, and my wallet is as thick with pictures as you'd expect it to be. Sam has been back at work for a month. I went back the next week. We staggered our FMLA time in case we had an unforeseen need, like difficulty finding day care or Amanda having special medical needs. Happily, everything was normal, and I had a week alone with my daughter. I see lots of her mother in her, but that could just be a romantic imagination on my part.
Every new dad looks forward to the end of the sex weeks-I mean, six weeks that they tell you to wait before you have sex again. (I swear, that was a typo that I decided to leave in because it shows you where my head was at the time.) The night of the end of the six weeks, Sam told me she wasn't ready yet. I should have picked up on the signs, but I was thinking with my dick instead of my heart. She still felt fat and unattractive. Sam leaves work and gets home before I do, so I took the opportunity to lay out the sexy negligΓ©e I'd bought for her on Valentine's Day the year before. She put it on that night and gave me a hand job, but she still couldn't bring herself to let me do anything for her. I also reverted to calling her Samantha.
A couple days later, we were discussing things we want to do for Amanda. Vacations, cultural institutions, that sort of thing. In the course of discussing music, we agreed that she should be comfortable going to the theater and the symphony. That reminded me that I still have my copy of
Fantasia
, where the animators did segments for various pieces of classical music. I put it on, and we watched it together. Toward the end of "Dance of the Hours", I told Samantha what I explained to the reader in my story of how we met. "I love how the hippo and all her hippo friends know she's beautiful. The elephants and the ostriches are the same way, and no one thinks it's the least bit unusual that the alligators want to seduce her." She looked at me funny. Eventually, the main alligator is chasing her around her bed, and they go so fast that he's wrapped around her waist. "That reminds me of the time on the beach when you pretended to be Little Red Riding Hood, and I chased you in circles until we landed on the blanket."
"You're serious, aren't you?"
"About what?"
"I should be insulted that you just compared me to a hippo
and
an elephant."
"The alligator thinks she's the most beautiful thing in God's entire creation. Well, I don't know if alligators believe in God, but you know what I mean. And the other alligators think she's beautiful too. Heck, after the main alligator and the main hippo get together, I bet the other alligators look for a hippo or an elephant that they can take home to Netflix and chill with."
"I figured they tried to eat the hippos."
I winked and said, "Well, maybe that too."
Samantha stopped the disc and smiled. "We can finish this another night. I'm gonna go change into something more comfortable."
We put Amanda in her crib. I tried to follow Samantha into our bedroom, but she closed the door. "I'll tell you when you can come in," she said. I stripped down to my underwear and put my clothes in the hamper by the crib. A few minutes later, with the door still closed, she said, "You can come in now." I opened the door. The lights were down as low as they could be. She was wearing the negligΓ©e I'd gotten out the week before. It's so sheer that I could see everything underneath. "You still think I'm sexy?" she asked.
"More than ever," I told her. I put my arms around her, kissed her and caressed both buttocks. I lifted the hem. "Your belly still turns me on." I lifted it higher. "Your breasts turn me on even more than before!" I held each one up and kissed the nipple.
Samantha lifted the hem the rest of the way and let it fall to the side. She put her arms around me and hugged me. We both felt my cock get hard. She put her hand on it and rubbed it until the head popped out of the fly. She guided me to the bed and lay on her back. "Tell me again, but keep going."
"Your lips are fuller than ever," I said, and I kissed her on the lips. She opened her mouth, and we touched our tongues. "Your tongue feels as good as it ever did."
She rubbed my cock again and said, "Probably more."
I kissed her neck and shoulders. She'd put on perfume while I was waiting. "That scent you like to wear still smells good when I kiss you here," I told her. I kissed a line down her right arm and up her left. "Even your arms are beautiful now that I've seen you holding Amanda."
"I'm sure you feel that way, but it doesn't make me feel any prettier," she said. "My fingers are still bigger than they were before. I don't even take my wedding ring off when I do dishes because it's not worth the effort."
I sucked each nipple into my mouth. "Your breasts were fantastic before, and they're even more amazing now." I kissed a line down her stomach. "Even this is beautiful because of what it means to me." I didn't say the words "stretch marks," but she knew what I was referring to. Either that, or she just thought I found her big belly attractive. She was happy, and I didn't have the nerve to ask which. This brought me to the panty that came with the negligΓ©e. I kissed her pussy through the fabric. "And this will never be the same!"
Samantha turned away from me. "That's what I'm afraid of!"
I put my hand on her leg and eased her back. "In a good way," I told her. "I used to look at it and associate it with having fun. Now it means fun, love and everything else that's good in my life." I pulled the hem down and kissed her clit. She brought her knees up involuntarily. It knocked my head back up to her stomach, and I kissed that again. When she brought her knees down, I pulled the panty a little further than before, exposing probably a quarter-inch of pussy flesh. I licked what was above the line and ran my fingers along the hem. She brought her knees up again, but this time she did it in a way that brought the panty over my finger. Now that it was inside the panty, I stroked her whole pussy from bottom to top. I put my middle finger down as if I were typing and separated her lips. I could feel a little bit of moisture.
Samantha leaned toward me, put her hand on my hip and kissed me. "Deeper," she said. I probed further and added my index finger. She rolled on top of me and said, "I've missed that." I pulled my hands out so I could rub her shoulders. When I did that, my cock pointed up between her thighs. "That, too," she assured me.
