Romantic Nonsense
Chapter 9
Mike purchased the second house he and Maddie toured. It was newly remodeled and exactly what they needed; bedroom and bathroom wise. They furnished it with items from both of their apartments and settled in. Most people thought they were deeply in love and at times; even Maddie was fooled, but it was the one thing missing from their relationship. About the time Maddie began showing and was becoming miserable; Mike convinced her to quit her job and concentrate on being a mom. Of course; she had concerns and finally decided to ask Mike.
"Can we afford all this without my income?" Maddie asked Mike one night as they got ready for bed.
"I have a healthy retirement and have money coming in from some consulting work. We are fine." Mike told her as he settled into bed, trying to get comfortable.
"But once the babies arrive, there will be a lot of expenses." Maddie said.
"Yes, and we'll be fine. Don't worry." Mike told her as he continued trying to get adjusted. The mattress had come from his apartment and wasn't the best quality.
"Easy for you to say. It worries me that I am completely dependent on you when you are not very committed to this." Maddie accused.
"I am committed. Committed to make sure these babies are happy and healthy when they come into the world, and part of that is keeping you happy. Once you get further along; trust me; you won't want to leave the house much." Mike said.
"Did Christine let you control her like this?" Maddie asked. She was still standing up, with her arms across her chest.
"I didn't control Christine and I am not controlling you. You can come and go as you please. If you want to go back to work, fine. I am just trying to make sure you have no worries or concerns until the babies are born. Now; why don't you lay down?" Mike suggested as he patted the bed. Maddie had to admit, she was tired and she knew she was moodier than normal. She laid down next to him, and he leaned over and gave her a long kiss. Given her moods, she was a bit shocked that he wanted to kiss her, and it made her realize, she had been missing it.
"Please?" Maddie asked as she guided his hand to her breast.
"You don't have to ask." Mike said. He helped her settle on his lap and pulled the nightshirt over her head. She immediately become self-conscious. Her toned abs were gone. In their place was a larger belly. Her breasts were swollen, and she had some weird acne going on. She started to grab for the shirt, but Mike stopped her. "Don't. You're beautiful." Mike said as he kissed down her neck and to a nipple. She moaned in response, and he pulled back with a worried look.
"Don't stop that!" Maddie demanded and Mike nodded.
"I thought so." Mike said as he turned his attention to the other breast. Maddie didn't care about working or money right then. All she cared about was what Mike was doing. She didn't even care if he loved her or not at that point. She didn't care about romance even. All it took for her was a kiss.
"Don't ever stop doing this. No matter what I say or do. Don't stop." Maddie told him between moans. She rolled over to her back but took him with her.
"Is this okay?" Mike said as he helped her take her pajama pants off, along with his own.
"It is for me." Maddie answered. Mike nodded and continued concentrating on her nipples. It was exactly what Maddie needed to get her mind off everything.
