Chapter 37
some solace somewhere besides the couch or the bed.
Nothing could wipe the smile from my face as I walked into the house. I had my 32 week check up with the OB, and I was able to go from bedrest to modified bedrest. A short walk, maybe cook a meal, I was excited to be able to at least find "Well, doesn't someone look like the cat who caught the canary?" Sean said as he chopped vegetables for dinner.
I smiled at him and moved behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist. I heard him set the knife down and he placed his hands on mine. I squeezed and he turned around to face me.
"I take it you received good news?" He asked with an eyebrow raised.
"I sure did."
"Are you going to tell me what the good news is, or am I going to have to guess?" He asked with a chuckle, I rolled my eyes.
"I am now on a modified bed rest. I can do small, non-strenuous activities-including taking short walks." I smiled at him.
"And what about bedroom activities?"
"As long as I'm not having contractions or bleeding afterwards it's fine. But start slowly." I said as I turned to grab a bottle of water from the fridge.
"Perfect, I'm glad you're so happy. I know that the last few weeks have been stressful. I'm sorry I missed the appointment, but I also had a successful and enlightening day."
"Oh, really. Does that mean you have information about the creeper that was outside the kitchen?"
"It sure does, it's not a lot but it's something and we have people looking into the lead, but right now there's a very good chance that it's the purse snatcher. The shoe size and weight would be about the same. I had Judd do some digging, and his apartment is empty and the landlord said he moved shortly after he was released. There's no forwarding address and he's just disappeared. But we'll find him and confirm if it was him or not." He said as he leaned over to kiss my forehead.
"I know, Sean. I'm just tired of the drama."
He nodded and went back to making dinner. I wandered to the porch and watched as Oliver checked on the steaks that Sean had started. These last few weeks have been quiet. Almost too quiet.
Josh had his bail hearing this week. The boys were confident that he wouldn't be allowed bail, but I had a gut feeling that he would be released again. His family had deep connections with the legal system and had a lot of weight they could throw around if need be.
We still didn't know who was outside the house, but they hadn't been back and nothing else odd had happened. Everyone was still alert, but hopefully Judd could track down the guy who stole my purse. Judd had amazed me with how much detail he gathered from following the tracks, which led back to the road. I wouldn't be surprised if he was able to find him.
Oliver started walking towards me, with the steaks stacked on a plate. I smiled and opened the sliding door for him. He gave me a kiss as he walked by and set the steaks on the table.
"Did you show him the pictures?" Oliver asked as he grabbed plates and silverware for us.
I shook my head as I grabbed the ultrasound photos from my purse. Sean finished putting the salads together and set the bowls on the table, as Oliver headed to the kitchen to grab the potatoes from the oven. Sean turned to me, as I walked over with the photos.
"This is the first one, we got a good profile of her this time. That's her foot that's almost touching her nose, and she's sucking on her thumb." I explained as I handed him the first one.
I gave him a few minutes to study it, and I smiled as I looked over his arm. I couldn't get over how much they had grown since the last ultrasound. They looked like babies and less alien like each time we had an ultrasound. "This is the second one, she's sucking on her foot." I said as I handed the second photo to him.
"They are amazing, Josie. Not surprising, they have a pretty amazing woman for a mother. I can't wait to meet them." He said, pressing a kiss to my lips.
The kiss started gently, but as I leaned into him, ran his tongue along the seam of my lips. I opened my mouth slightly to him, and allowed him to deepen the kiss. I groaned as I felt his tongue start to enter my mouth.
Oliver cleared his throat, pulling us apart with smiles. We sat and served ourselves, each of us quiet as we started our meal. After a few bites I remembered I wanted to check if they could grab some items from their next trip to town.
"I know that you have to go to town tomorrow Oliver, could you stop by the office supply store and grab a few things for me? I was thinking of maybe starting my painting hobby backup seeing as I'm out of work until the girls come. I think I've exhausted most of the tv shows available." I asked, glancing at him over my plate.
"Sure, or if you wanted I could drop you off while I run to the office and grab the things I need. I won't be long, so you will be done by the time I'm back." He offered.
"Yes, that would be amazing." I said without thinking about it.
The men chuckled at my quick response. It felt like it had been forever since I'd been out of the house for anything except a doctor's appointment. I felt my face heat, as we finished out dinner in silence.
We had created an after dinner ritual of ice cream and a movie. Oliver made the sundaes while Sean and I picked the movie. Sean settled on the couch with his back to the arm and one leg along the back of the couch, and the other spread and settled on the floor. He pulled me to sit between them, with my back against his front.
I leaned back and settled against him as Iron Man started. Oliver sat and handed us our bowls of cold deliciousness, and sank deeper into his spot at the end of the couch. We ate our dessert and watched the movie in silence.
Sean took my bowl and stacked it with his when we were finished, and he arms wrapped around me, hugging me tighter to him while he rubbed my growing belly. One of his started drifting higher and higher until it was brushing against the underside of my breast. I froze and watched it as he slowly cupped it in his hand.
His thumb brushed against the front of my breast, my nipple immediately coming to attention. I bit my lip as he gave it a gentle pinch through my shirt. I rested my hand on his thigh, giving it a light squeeze. "I've missed how sweet and quickly you react to our touch, little one." Sean whispered husikly in my ear.
He gave my nipple a harder squeeze, and I dropped my head onto his chest with a groan. His other hand lifted to my opposite breast, giving it similar treatment as I heard Oliver set his bowl down on the table.
"You know what I love about you wearing dresses so often now?" Oliver asked as he moved between my legs, keeping one on the couch and the other on the floor like Sean's. "What?"
"Easier access to our favorite parts of your body." He said he slid his hands up my legs, lifting the bottom of my dress with them.
He dropped to his knees on the floor, and spread my legs more. I moaned as he left soft kisses up the inside of my thigh. He gave a gentle bite and moved to the opposite side, continuing on his northern path. His hands followed his mouth, but on the outside of my legs. His fingers hooked in the elastic band of my panties, before he started pulling them down. I lifted my hips to help him remove them.
His warm hands created a hot path up my thighs as he moved deeper between my legs. One of his fingers lightly traced the outside of my lower lips, creating a tickling sensation. I yelped and pulled away, only his big hand to clamp on my thigh keeping me in place. He smiled as he applied more pressure, his finger finding the opening of my slit.
A smile grew on his face, as his finger circled my clit. I moaned as he gave it a gentle flick before adding more pressure and circling it more. Sean's hand slid down my side, finding the tie that was keeping my wrap dress closed. With a gentle tug he undid the knot and unwrapped it.
After revealing my body, his hands plunged the cup of my bra down, exposing my breasts and excited nipples. I groaned and pressed into his hand as he gave a pinch and rolled my nipples between his fingers.
Oliver's hands pulled back, separating my lower lips, giving his mouth access to me. I took him in through hooded eyes as he licked his lips and smiled. He drew closer and licked the length of my sex with his flat tongue, before pulling my clit into his mouth, sucking hard.
A groan was pulled from me, and I tried to move my hips towards his face, giving him better access, but his strong arms held me in place. I settled, knowing I was where he wanted, and he settled my thighs over his shoulders. I closed my eyes and moaned as Sean pulled my nipples away from my body, and Oliver inserted two fingers into my heated core, setting a grueling pace of in and out while he alternated between sucking and flicking my clith with his tongue. It had been so long since we had been intimate that it only took a few minutes before I was at the crest of my release.
"Come for us, darling." Sean whispered in my ear before sucking my earlobe into his mouth.
My legs started shaking as I fell over the edge, into a delicious orgasm that left me shaking and feeling weak. I was faintly aware of Oliver setting my legs down and leaving, and then a warm cloth cleaning me. Sean's hands brushed my hair back as he kissed the top of my head.
"How are you feeling? Any cramping?" Oliver asked as he pulled my feet into his lap.
I shook my head, the only thing I was feeling was bliss and relief. It had been so hard keeping our hands to ourselves, only the fact that it was important for the health of the babies kept us in our swing of abstinence. I snuggled deeper into Sean's chest with a sigh as Oliver settled a blanket over us and we returned our focus to the movie.
