Todd arrived at Rae Cumming's practice. She had agreed to meet him on her day off due to his urgency. "Todd, what is it? What's wrong?" she demanded once they had sat down together in her office. "You were so frantic on the phone. You said it was an emergency."
"It is," replied Todd. "I can't make love to my wife. I tried. I truly did, but once I had her naked and started to ... well, you know... I just couldn't. I ran out of there..."
"What happened next?" Rae asked.
"Nothing. I haven't touched her since."
"And do you want to- touch her?"
Todd nodded. "It's not that I don't want her. I do. I want her so much it's driving me crazy. But every time I try making love to her, I get scared," Todd explained.
"And now things just got worse."
"How did they get worse?"
"She's ovulating now. Right now- today. But I can't make love to her, and I can't give her the baby she so desperately wants..."
"Todd, remember last time we talked? You told me that you would do "anything" for Marty. Is that true?" Rae questioned.
"Yes, I would do ANYTHING for her. I love her sooo much."
"Maybe that's what you have to tell yourself then, when you attempt to make love to her. Remind yourself that you love her, you'd never hurt her, and you'll do anything for her. Don't let your fears, doubts, and insecurities overcome you. Try to stay in the present. Leave the past where it belongs. She believes in you. She trusts you... or she wouldn't have married you. Marty NEEDS you now," Rae advised.
Todd sat there quietly and thought about it for a minute. Rae's words made sense to him. Suddenly he stood up and reached over Rae's desk, kissing her softly on the cheek. "Thank you for helping me," he said to her as a smile formed on his face. The smile was so rare that Rae wasn't sure she'd ever seen Todd Manning's face light up with such brilliance nor his eyes shining with happiness before.
"Todd, what are you going to do now?" Rae asked him.
"I'm going to go home and call my wife and tell her to rush home from her convention ASAP," Todd said with a smirk. "The sooner the better..."
"You know, I think Marty's a lucky woman. You'll let me know how it goes, won't you?"
"What...?" Todd chuckled. "You want details?"
"No, I don't need details," Rae said with a little laugh. "But if she gets pregnant, a birth announcement would be nice."
*If she gets pregnant.* Those words echoed in Todd's head. He was going to do EVERYTHING in his power to make sure Marty DID become pregnant. If it went the way he hoped, they'd make love so many times that there would be absolutely no doubt Marty would become pregnant with his child.
~*~o~*~
Victor had procured a suite for himself and Marty at a romantic bed and breakfast for their weekend stay. No sooner had they arrived and gone into their room when Marty began to feel uneasy. She took a seat beside the fireplace and stared into the flames. "Victor, we need to talk," she insisted.
"Alright, Marty," Victor said as he sat down next to her. "What would you like to talk about?"
"Todd..." she said quietly as a frown came to her face.
"What about him?" Victor asked with a heavy sigh.
"After... we... go back to Llanview... and if ... I am pregnant, how will I convince Todd that the baby is his?" Marty asked as she stared into the flames. "He hasn't made love to me in weeks. And if I AM pregnant, he's going to know I got pregnant while at this 'convention,' and he is not the baby's father. I- I did an ovulation test this morning... and I left the test lying there next to the bathroom sink. He's going to see it... and he's going to know this was the weekend I got pregnant... IF I get pregnant."
"First of all, you ARE going to get pregnant this weekend," Victor responded. "And secondly, you can convince Todd he is the father of the child. When we go back to Llanview, get him alone, make sure he has a great deal to drink, and then when he passed out and lying on the bed, climb on top of him naked and..."
"You are suggesting I TRICK him?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I am suggesting. You want a baby. You love Todd, and you want him to think the baby you carry is his child. If he can't make love to you and give you a baby, you have to do whatever you can to see that your dreams come true. The next morning when the alcohol wears off, you'll be naked in his arms, and he'll think you've made love. Nine months later, the baby arrives... and you get the child you've always wanted. It's as simple as that."
"Ohhh Victor, I just don't know. I do love him... SOOO much, and I don't want to hurt him. I don't want him to find out; it would kill him...then he'd kill you."
"I don't want Tea to find out either. I love her, Dani,and our baby, and if she left me, I'd lose everything. But I want you, too, Marty. And I want you to be happy. We need each other..." Victor said as he lightly caressed her cheek and coaxed her to look at him. "You want me, too. You need me to make love to you..."
"I've been thinking about it ever since that day in the park... when you kissed me," Marty softly admitted. "It's been driving me crazy... how much I want you."
"I want you, too, Marty, ever so much. When you called that day and told me you wanted to meet with me, I got so hard just thinking about it..."
Before she could protest, he tugged her into his arms so she was seated across his lap. With passion in his gaze, he lowered his lips to hers. He took her breath away as their mouths crashed together. Marty returned his kiss as though she were starved for him. After a moment, he lifted her up in his arms and carried her to the comfort of the bed.
Victor lay half over Marty as he continued to kiss her hungrily. As their tongues tangled together, he started taking her clothing off. He undid the buttons of her blouse and removed her skirt. Soon she lay there in nothing more than her bra and panties. Victor was nibbling her neck as she unbuttoned his shirt and tugged it off his shoulders.
His eyes were a blazing, dark-blue as he broke away from her a moment to remove his pants. Once he had them off, he climbed into bed with Marty. She shivered with desire as he began to caress her bare skin. "It's been so long since I've touched you," he spoke to her in a whisper. "Your skin is so soft and silky."
"Victor," she moaned as he began to caress her breast through the fabric of her bra. Immediately the nipple pebbled up, begging for his touch. Their gazes locked as Victor cupped both breasts in his palms and lightly squeezed. Soon he unhooked the clasps of her bra and tossed it aside. He lowered his head and tugged the peak of a breast into the warmth of his mouth. Marty quivered as his tongue flicked over her hardened nipple. It felt so good she thought she might go out of her mind.
"Victor please," she begged him.
"It's been so long, Marty. I wanna savor it..." he whispered to her as he raised his head.
Lightly she caressed his cheek. "I don't think I can wait... I need you so much..." she responded.
"How much?"
"This much," she responded as she took his hand in hers and guided it down to her center. Her panties were soaked with her desire.
A smirk came to Victor's face when he realized how much she wanted him. "Mmmm... so hot and wet..." he murmured as he stroked her through her panties. Her clit throbbed against the fabric as he grazed it with his fingertips.
"Please Victor... I need you sooo much," she told him.
"What do you need?" he asked as he was kissing her breasts. He licked each of her nipples, then slid his mouth down her body over her tummy.
"You ... inside me..." she urged him.
"My fingers or my tongue? Or would you rather have my throbbing cock?" he asked her.
"I want it all..." she moaned as she arched up toward his seeking tongue. He tugged off her panties to expose her slick center. She screamed as he drove his tongue inside her.
"Victor!" she cried as he tasted her and teased her aching clit.
His tongue was so skillful that she came almost instantly. He drank up every drop of her desire and kissed her trembling flesh. "Ohhh that felt so good... so amazing," she whispered when she opened her eyes to find him gazing at her.
Softly, he traced the damp lips of her entrance. She opened her legs wider, craving his touch. A soft scream tore from her lips when he thrust his fingers inside her. "Cum for me again," he encouraged as he slid his fingers deep and hard inside her.
"YES!" she spoke in a sob as he brought her to her second orgasm. As she spilled her juices over his fingers, Victor's eyes were smoky blue with desire.
"My God, Marty... I want you so much," he groaned as he freed his erection. He took her small hands into his, placing her fingers around his throbbing flesh. "Is this what you want inside you...?"
"Yes... ohhhh please, Victor. YES!" she pleaded with him. She stroked him faster, watching the pleasure overtake his face. She tugged on his cock, urging him to give her what it was she wanted.
Although Victor wanted to make love to her for hours and prolong the ecstasy, it had been far too long, and he couldn't wait another moment. He settled himself over Marty and brushed the head of his cock against her slit. As she locked her legs tightly around his waist, he rocked his hips, sliding into her with deliberate slowness. Marty made sexy sounds of desire as she arched toward his entry.
"Ohhh God... You're so tight and wet," he breathed as he entered her fully.
"Please..." she whimpered as she moved against him, needing his deep, hard thrusts. "Please Victor..."
"Is this what you need?" he asked in a groan as he rocked his hips, sending his cock in and out of her tight channel.
"Ohhh yes!" she cried.
"I know exactly what you need," he said as he began to pound in and out of her wildly.
"Yes... yessss... Harder! Make me cum!" she pleaded with him.
"Gladly," Victor said in a growl. With several deep, rough thrusts, he had pinned Marty against the bed and brought her to orgasm. As she came hard all over his cock, he too found his release. She nearly lost consciousness during the force of her climax as Victor spilled his seed deep inside her. It was moments later before she reached full awareness.
"Marty, are you okay?" he questioned, brushing the tangled blond hair back from her beautiful face.
She nodded as huge tears filled up her eyes. "Ohhh Victor. What have I done? What have WE done?" she asked in a whimper.
"We only took what we needed," he told her as he placed soft, loving kisses upon her face. "I don't regret it."
Marty's soft sobs told him however that she was having regrets. He held her as she cried, running soothing caresses over her silky flesh. "Please don't cry. You're breaking my heart," he whispered.
"I've betrayed Todd... and you are with Tea. If anyone finds out what we did, there will be hell to pay."
"Shhh, sweetie... no one's going to find out," he assured her. "It'll be alright... you'll see."
Suddenly Marty tensed as her cell phone rang. She reached for it and saw she had received a text from Todd. "Ohhh my God," she gasped as she opened it and read the text.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Victor questioned.
"It's Todd. He needs me to come home right away. He said it's urgent."
"You're not leaving now, are you?" Victor asked with disappointment. "I'm just getting started here. I could go all night..."
"Victor, I can't stay. I need to go home to Todd," Marty said as hot tears streaked her face.
Victor didn't look too pleased as she climbed out of bed and started gathering her clothes. "Please don't leave," he said to her. "I want to make love to you all night long..."
"Victor, I'm sorry, but it's over," she told him sadly. "I shouldn't have never... I'm sorry, but I love Todd."
With a painful sob, she finished dressing. With one last lingering look at Victor, she grabbed her suitcase and quickly left. Victor lay in the bed, feeling dejected. One time with Marty would never be enough. He had to get her back again. Todd could never make her happy the way he could. Although he didn't want to leave Tea- he wanted Marty as well... and he was determined to have her.
~*~o~*~
It was late evening when Marty walked through the front door. Her eyes were bright red from hours of crying. Leaving Victor had been so painful, and the knowledge that she had betrayed Todd was like a stinging wound upon her soul. She had barely stepped into the foyer and set her suitcase aside when Todd grasped her in his muscular arms.
"I missed you, baby," he said as he looked into her eyes. When he saw that she had been crying, he ached inside, thinking it was because of him. He'd been spending too much time apart from her due to his intimacy issues, and he hadn't been giving her the physical contact she desperately craved. Tonight he vowed he would make love to her and follow through with it. He'd make everything right again, and this time he would not back out.
"What's going on, Todd?" she asked him as she tensed in the circle of his arms. Did Todd suspect something? Is that why he had insisted she come back home at once?
"Nothing... I just want my beautiful wife here with me..." he said as he started nibbling her neck.
"Todd... what are you doing?" she asked as he lightly bit her soft skin.
"I want you, Marty..." he growled as he backed her up against the wall.
"T- Todd, I can't," she whispered as she tried to escape his embrace.
He pulled back a fraction, looking deeply into her eyes. "What's wrong, Marty? Don't you want me?"
"I do... I just-." Her words trailed away.
*...feel guilty as hell,* she silently added.
"Shhhh..." he whispered as he lightly traced her lips with his finger. "I'm ready to give you what you need now... what we BOTH need. It's gonna be so good. I am going to fuck to you for hours. That's what you want, is it?"
"Yes, Todd... I do want you," she said as she couldn't resist him. When he touched her, she went up in flames. She needed him so much as he slid one hand up her skirt and cupped her damp pussy through her panties.
"Ohhh my God, baby...you're so damn wet. I've gotta fuck you now..."
"Ohhh yes!" she said as he tore her panties off her and freed himself quickly from his pants.
"Do you want me inside you, babe?" he whispered lustfully against her ear as he pressed his body tightly against hers.
"YES!" she whimpered, thinking she'd die if he didn't slide inside her. She could feel the broad tip of him pressed up against her entrance as he thrust her up roughly against the wall.
"Todd!" she screamed as he speared himself inside her in one hard savage thrust.
"Ohhh my God!" she gasped as he fucked her fiercely, making her scream his name in pleasure. His intimacy issues seemed to have disappeared with the wind as time after time he thrust himself into her with all of his power.
The roadblocks that had been causing Todd so much trouble had gone up in flames along with his passion for Marty. Over and over again, he rammed himself into her. Suddenly she went totally limp in his embrace as a powerful climax hit her. She sunk her nails into his flesh, spilling her juices out all over his cock. "YESSS!" Todd exclaimed as he too reached his fulfillment.
"We're so fuckin hot together... just like I remembered," he said as he took her lips once again in a passionate kiss. He then pulled back and gazed into her shimmering blue eyes.
"Are you okay, baby?" he asked as she was quiet and kept staring at him as though in a daze.
"Todd," she said as she wrapped her arms around him and began to cry. She pressed her face against his chest and sobbed with regret. Despite the afterglow of her passionate lovemaking with Todd, Marty felt sick because she had given herself to Victor.
Todd lifted her into his arms and carried her upstairs to their bed. He took her in his arms and tenderly held her as she cried. He caressed her hair as he whispered soothing words to her. "Did I hurt you?" he asked her softly.
"No..." she responded.
*...but I've hurt you,* she spoke to him silently.
"Then why all the tears?"
"I just love you so much, Todd," she said as she lightly caressed his chest, tracing his muscles. "What we just shared; it means EVERYTHING to me. I can't believe I have you back again... in every sense of the word."
"Was it as good as the first time we made love?"
A slow smile came to her face when she heard his question. "No, I think it was even better. We lost each other once... and I never want to lose you again."
"I never want to lose you either. I love you so much," he said as he held her against him. "I want to make love to you all night long..."
"In fact, I am going to make love to you so much... and so many times, you won't even be able to walk tomorrow. You'll just wanna lay here in bed with me and cuddle."
"I'd like that."
"I know you would..." he murmured. "That's what I should have done that first night; stayed with you and held you. We have so much to make up for now..."
"And that's exactly what we are going to do; make love repeatedly, so we can reconnect. When we are finished, you'll probably be pregnant with twins."
Marty's eyes became huge at his words. If she did become pregnant now, she wouldn't know if the baby was Victor's or Todd's. *Ohhh my God, please don't let me become pregnant. Not this month,* Marty was thinking. But as Todd rolled over on top of her, all of those thoughts were suddenly swept away. It wouldn't be till much later that the full gravity of her infidelity would return to torment her.
