"Look at you" Colby cheered loudly when I opened the door for him and the other man "Hey doll, what are you doing here?" I asked letting him and Jon walk in. "Oh, Joe invited us over to watch the game, Jimmy, Jey and Nick should be here soon too" Jon informed, this was news to me since I had intended to ask him to come baby shopping with me. "Oh alright, well you boys have fun. I'm going to go get some more stuff for the nursery, Joe is in the weight room if you two want to head on down" I smiled slightly as I picked up my purse and phone, double checking that I had the keys. "Things still aren't getting any better?" Colby asked softly causing me to look up at the two of them who shared the same look of sympathy on their faces as they had when I spent an entire night complaining to them about the lack of anything from Joe. Shaking my head no I shrugged "It's fine though, you guys have a good time. I'll be back in a bit" I smirked kissing their cheeks before I left the house greeting Jimmy, Jey and Nick as I met them at the door. "The boys are in the basement" I informed before I got in the truck and drove off heading to the mall to see what I could find. We had everything crib and dresser wise, now it was just getting clothes and things like that to fill said dresser and the closet. I stopped in the food court and got a coffee before I started going from baby store to baby store, and Victoria's Secret because I couldn't help myself when I saw their cute little baby dolls. Once I had so many bags I couldn't carry anymore I returned to the truck and headed home happy with my trip. Grabbing all of the bags I jumped in shock when a tan arm shot past me and grabbed them all from me, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you. I came out to get my phone charger and saw you trying to carry all of this so I thought I could help" Nick smiled sweetly as he grabbed the rest of the bags from the back and let me close the door before I led him inside and up to the nursery.

"Just set them anywhere, I'll put everything away as soon as I get something to drink" I smiled going to leave the room but was stopped by him "You start putting stuff away, I'll make you a smoothie, all of the walking can't be good for you or the baby" he whispered one of his hands coming up to push a curl from my face before he was leaving the room, shaking off the slight weirdness of the situation I kicked my flip flops off and removed my t-shirt as well as opened a window before I got started separating everything first. I could hear the blender and voices in the kitchen before there were footsteps on the stairs as Nick reappeared with two smoothies. "Thank you" I grinned taking a drink of the sweet mixture before I sat it on the dresser and continued what I was doing. "Have you picked a name for him yet?" Nick asked suddenly alerting me to his presence still in the room now sitting on the floor leaned against the wall. "Not yet, it's hard to get Joe to sit long enough to talk about anything let alone names" I shrugged not really thinking he would read so much into it. "You mean you guys don't talk?" he asked getting to his feet and walking over to me his arms caging me between his body and the closet. "We do, just not often or for long. He's been so busy preparing for this push he's getting" I stated looking slightly up at him as he hummed in response "It's a shame, you're a beautiful woman Katrina, it's hard to believe he isn't making time to embrace that." He whispered "Well with everything getting bigger I can imagine that the stretch marks and everything aren't that appealing to him. It's fine though, as soon as I pop this little boy out I'll be back in the gym and getting in shape in no time" I smiled frowning at the growl that came from Nick's throat. "You are sexy, if I had someone like you waiting for me at home I'd be all over you any chance I got" he whispered bringing his hands down to cage my face and pull our faces together, his lips moving against mine until I heard footsteps and pushed him away ducking under his arm to take a large drink of my smoothie as Jon and Jimmy walked in, the latter letting out an impressed whistle. "You did all this by yourself?" he asked arching an eyebrow at me as I started folding blankets and rags. "Yeah, it was fun." I shrugged smiling at the three men, Jon smiling back even though it didn't reach his eyes.

"You should start painting in your free time, I bet you could make quite a bit of money" Nick commented both of us pretending that the kiss hadn't happened. "I agree, but Nick man we're leaving soon." Jimmy grinned hugging me tightly before the three men walked out and I finally could think about what had happened between Nick and me. I can't deny that he is an amazing kisser, but any of the feelings I got were pure lust, not love or anything more. I shoved it off as lack of intimacy and put away the last of the baby things before I picked up the bag holding my own things, my discarded shoes and shirt and the dirty glasses, shutting the door tightly behind me. Tossing my things into mine and Joe's room before I headed downstairs and into the kitchen, the conversation stopping as soon as I walked in. Sending the three men a confused look I walked to the sink and rinsed out the glasses before I started looking through the cupboards and fridge for something to make for dinner. "Jon, Colby are you staying for dinner?" I asked turning to look at the three men who were watching my every move "Sorry Kat, we have a plane to catch. Next time though" Colby smiled slightly getting up and hugging me before he let Jon and the three of them walked out while I started a small pasta dinner for Joe and I. When the door closed and footsteps neared the kitchen I smiled thinking he would come and we could actually talk but his footsteps continued down the stairs until everything went quiet, the smile dropping from my face as tears welled up in my eyes. I couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in my chest at the lack of interaction with my husband, the man who was soon to be a father, couldn't even sit in the same room alone with me anymore.

Shaking it off I focused on the music playing in the background and my dinner, if he wanted to ignore me than two could play at that game. Once the pasta was ready I separated it into two bowls and then headed for the basement where I could hear the weights crashing around. "Joe" I called lightly as I stepped off the last stair, the man pausing his workout to look at me through the mirror "Dinner is ready, are you going to come up now or should I put it in the microwave" I asked sweetly seeing the thinking going on before he shrugged and continued his workout. I waited a few more seconds before I returned upstairs and put his bowl in the microwave, taking mine out to the patio to eat while watching the sunset. Sighing quietly as I placed my fork in my now empty bowl I carefully stood and walked inside shivering from the slight temperature difference in the air conditioned house. Checking the clock as I passed it going to the sink the numbers read 7:30 and I was beyond exhausted, ready for the day to be over. I rinsed off my dishes and put them in the dishwasher before I walked out of the kitchen pausing at the basement door. I couldn't decide if I should go down and tell him I was going to bed or just leave it, choosing to not care about what he did I headed upstairs and into our bedroom. I picked up the new baby doll and matching panties I walked into the bathroom and started the showering unpinning my hair and wiping the makeup from my face before I stripped and climbed into the water sighing as it released some of the tension in my body. I let my hand wander down my stomach and between my legs rubbing for a few seconds before I slid two fingers inside whimpering at the contact that made my stomach clench in ecstasy. I held onto the railing with my free hand as the hand between my legs sped up alternating between thrusting and rubbing until I let out a small shriek as I came, panting as I came down off of my mediocre high. Rinsing off I got out of the water and dried off before I slipped into my new purchases and twisted my hair up using a clip to keep it in place before walking out of the bathroom to see Joe sitting up in bed staring at the wall across from him with anger and hate. A look that sent me reeling when it turned to me hardly softening as he looked me over before turning away, biting my lip I picked my robe up off the floor and pulled it on before I walked to the dresser and pulled out a pair of pajama pants and a long sleeve shirt.

"What are you doing?" his deep voice grumbled sending a new wave of heat to my lower body that I knew my hand couldn't fix. "Getting different pajamas to sleep in" I whispered closing the drawer softly and moving to enter the bathroom. His arm shot out faster than I expected and stopped me in my tracks "Why?" he asked lowly, the raspy and deep tone making my stomach clench. "So you don't have to see my body" I answered truthfully whimpering when he forced me to turn around the glare on his face bringing immediate tears to my eyes. I didn't bother trying to stop them as they tumbled down my cheeks, his gaze softening as he moved so he was sitting on the edge of the bed and I was standing between his legs. "Baby, I love your body. Don't hide it from me" he whispered rubbing his hands up and down my thighs. "Nick said if you did you'd never stop touching me." I whispered not able to get the words the blonde had said when we were in the nursery. "What else did Nick say, or do for that matter" he growled, and at that moment I realized that Jon had seen everything and of course he told Joe because they were brothers. "He said he'd be all over me any chance he got. Then he kissed me." I said truthfully crossing my arms over my chest only for him to pull them apart and loop them around his neck. "Is that it?" he asked an eyebrow arched as he pulled me closer one hand reaching up to untie my robe and push it from my body. "You didn't kiss back? He didn't put his hands here" he asked placing his hands on my hips "Your hands weren't here?" he added pressing both of my hands to either side of his chest. "Answer me ava" (Wife) he demanded his eyes flashing as he growled lowly. "Yes" I whimpered tracing the details in his tattoo as I stared him down "Yes what" he pressed on wanting a specific answer from me "Yes I kissed back, yes he held me and yes I had my hands pressed to his chest." I admitted not ready for him to pull my head down and slam our lips together. "lo'u uma" (All mine) he grunted switching our positions so he was hovering over top of me.

"All yours" I agreed quietly breaking off into loud whimper as he took my left nub in his mouth and suckled it, his hand groping the right and switching. I wasn't even sure when he had taken my clothes off, at this point I didn't care either because I was soaking wet and he knew it. "Did he get you like this?" he wondered dragging his finger over my lips a broken whine leaving my lips "No, because only I can get you like this." He whispered sliding down until his face was even with where his finger was dancing "just dripping, all for me ava." (wife) He growled before he dove in a loud moan filling the room as he feasted as if he were a starving man. "Always for you." I cried out as he slid back up and plunged into me, both of us crying out at the feeling. "I never, ever, want to hear you use your hand to get off." He growled punctuating his words with deep thrusts. "Am I understood?" he asked stopping and holding my hips down so I couldn't arch into him. "Yes, oh god, Joe yes, only you." I whined "Fuck, baby please oh please give it to me." I was babbling now as I tried to move underneath him, needing the friction, the pounding, the fullness as if my life depended on it. "God I love when you beg" he whispered nipping at my ear "Can my pretty baby beg me for what she wants?" he teased dragging his tongue down my neck, still immobile as he waited "Please Daddy, oh please I promise I'll never got off on anything but your hand, mouth or this big fat dick. Please" I broke off with a scream as he thrusted and bit down on my neck at the same time sending me plummeting into orgasm. "I'm not done baby girl" he warned giving me a few seconds to rest before he continued what he was doing, both of us knowing that this would be the last time I ever used my hand to pleasure myself. "I have so much to apologize for ava (Wife)." He murmured slowing his pace, a maddening speed that had be clawing and babbling for him to go faster. I hoped this was the change we needed to get back on track.
