“Yes, well, our dear Noa has never had the opportunity to shop like that a day in her life.She needed the push, but she’s worried you’re going to be angry about the expense.”
“That won’t happen.”
“Your job to convince Noa of that,” Becky laughs while walking towards the kitchen.“Joey has requested burgers and curly fries for dinner.Any issue?”
I shake my head when she glances back while I shut the front door.The woman wouldn’t care, even if I had any.
Taking the stairs two at a time, I find Noa in the nursery—which is the room next to ours—staring in awe and horror.There are boxes labeled crib, changing table, dresser, rocking chair, closet storage, and bags upon bags of baby stuff.Then there’s the mountain of diapers in various sizes along one wall.
“Did you get everything we’ll need?”She jumps at my question, spinning with tears in her eyes.“Why are you crying, mama?”Approaching her like a skittish gazelle, she brings her hands up to cover her mouth.“Talk to me, Noa.”
“It’s just so much.”Her eyes lift to mine, tears shining bright on her long, thick lashes.“And it cost so much.”
“Was it what you wanted?”She nods slowly.“Good.That’s what I instructed my girls.”She narrows her eyes at me now.Cupping her shoulders, I cuddle her into my body, loving how her belly bumps my growing erection as our child rests safely inside her.“I told the girls to get everything you wanted and what they thought we’d need.Even if we only use it once.Don’t think this is the only child we’re having, mama.Anything we don’t use now, I’m sure we’ll use later.”
Her tears finally clear up at my proclamation.“You’re awfully cocky about that.”
Casually shrugging my shoulders, I reply, “I know what I want, Noa, and there’s no doubt that it’s you, this baby…more babies…and your kids.”
“You can’t know that,” she argues.
Growling in frustration, I scoop her up and carry her to our bedroom.“You really need to stop questioning me on what it is that I want.”
Dropping her on the bed, she bounces twice while giving me a pout.“I don’t know how to accept kindness like this.”
I press my fists into the soft mattress beside her hips and lean over her, forcing her to fall on her back.“You keep forgetting this is my child, too, mama.I’m going to spoil him every bit as much as our other kids.”She frowns.Slipping a knee between her legs, I posture myself over her body, arms resting on either side of her head, and meet her gaze.“Mama, just as soon as you have my last name, I’m adopting those kids.Until then, I’ll still spoil them like they’re mine.”
Her eyes go wide with shock, her mouth gaping, and I can see her pulse racing in her throat while her heart pounds against my chest.
“This is so fast.”Reaching down, I fish the ring from my pocket and slip it on her finger.She’s confused at first until she looks down at the princess-cut diamond, the size of a small rock, set on a gold band that encircles her finger perfectly.“You didn’t ask,” she whispers.
“I don’t intend to.It’s happening.You choose the date, the details, big or small, anything you want, so long as it happens this year.”
Noa can’t stop staring at the ring, so I use the distraction to strip off her clothes and then mine.
“Oh!”she mewls.Fuck, she’s adorable, and shocked when I pick her up and sit her on my dick as I rest back against the headboard.“It’s deeper like this.How is that possible?”Her eyes glaze over, and her body does whatever it likes as she moves sensually on top of me.“Carmine, oh god, so good.”
I grin, pulling her in closer and wrapping my lips around a nipple while one hand snakes up her back and the other trails down her ass, pressing her body into each gyration as her walls ripple around my thick cock.Dragging the pleasure from me like a lifeline.
“You feel so fucking good, mama.”
Noa slinks her arms around my head, holding me to her chest as I treat each sensitive breast with love.Sucking, licking, kissing, and biting her until she erupts, crying out while hauling me with her.Pleasure shuttles up my spine and spills into her welcoming heat, setting us both ablaze as we fly high and come crashing down, out of breath and nearly ready to go again.
“You know I love you, right, mama?”
She hums and leans her head against my shoulder as I lie us down on our sides.
“I love you too, Carmine.More than I ever thought possible.”
Taking her lips in a sensual kiss, my dick begins to grow again, and she sighs, rolling over and pressing her ass against me.
I slip into her waiting heat, and we make love until it’s time to get the kids from school.It’s mundane and normal and the perfect way to start our lives together.
