This gets M-rated at end, but otherwise is pretty mild.
Romantic Nonsense
Chapter 11
Something changed between Maddie and Mike around Christmas. He had bought her an engagement ring and wedding band and wrote the most beautiful note. He told her he loved her and she told him she loved him back. That was as far as the romance could go with two teenage girls that needed all the support in the world and two very demanding newborns. But, Mike had something else up his sleeve. They celebrated Christmas and Maddie passed her six-week check up just before New Year's. On New Year's Eve; Mike approached her with a dress bag.
"What's this?" Maddie asked as she tried to get spit up out of her hair.
"It's a dress. We're going out tonight. Hotel room and everything. Wolf and Azima want to try parenting out. I figure it'll be good birth control for them. Plus the girls are comfortable with them." Mike explained.
"Mike; none of my clothes fit. I'm fat." Maddie said.
"You are not, but I took that into account. Now; take a shower. Wash your hair for sure. Also, the underneath items are in the bag too. Azima and Sasha helped." Mike answered.
"Oh, lord. It'll be too short, and will show off way too much of my boobs." Maddie remarked.
"And that will not be a bad thing for me." Mike said.
"Mmm. Post twins, my ass and tits are not quite like you remember. Go on. I will do my best. You might take your crap into the other bathroom to get ready." Maddie said before giving Mike a kiss. He grabbed his own suit, shaving kit and shoes before she unzipped the bag. Inside was a stunning gun metal gray dress. It had long-sleeves, and was a weird shiny material, but it was not modest and Maddie had to wonder how it would even work on her. A note fell out of the dress and she picked it up.
"Wear the corset. It'll help. Be confident."
It wasn't signed, but Maddie groaned in response. Thankfully, Mike was not someone who required Maddie to wear fancy lingerie. She showered, washed and dried her hair, did her make-up and somehow managed to get into the lingerie and dress. It all worked until it was time to zip it up. She finally found Katie in her bedroom, studying.
"Katie, can you help me?" Maddie asked. She pointed at her back, and Katie smiled.
"Of course. You look really beautiful, by the way." Katie said. She zipped the zipper and patted Maddie's shoulder.
"Thank you. Not real sure about this dress." Maddie remarked.
"Its fun. I don't think Dad would ever let us borrow it from you, though." Katie said.
"I just had twins six weeks ago. This is a bit much." Maddie told her.
"Hey; you pull it off. Which shoes are you wearing?" Katie asked.
"I have a pair of black heels." Maddie said.
"It would look great with black boots too. Those tall ones I got for Christmas?" Katie suggested. She opened her closet and handed them to Maddie. She sat down on the bed and put them on. Thankfully they fit perfectly and was just the right look. They had a comfortable heel. Katie disappeared for a moment and came back with a wool coat. It was black but with red trim. It had been one of Hannah's Christmas present.
"Hannah's coat?" Maddie asked.
"Yep. The red threading looks good with the black and gray. And I saw Dad in the hallway. He's ready." Katie answered as she helped Maddie into the coat.
"Will you girls be okay?" Maddie asked.
"I like Wolf and Azima. That being said, I will be glad when you and Dad get home tomorrow. I feel better when he's close." Katie admitted.
"We don't have to stay the night." Maddie offered.
"No. Dad made a lot of mistakes with Mom. I'm not going to let him make those same mistakes with you. He'll always regret how things were with Mom, but you are his second chance to do things right. I know the dress isn't something you'd choose so soon after having the babies, but he wants you to know he thinks you're beautiful. Just enjoy your night." Katie said. She was not the most affectionate person, for reasons unknown, but Maddie decided to just give her a hug and thankfully, Katie was receptive. She even clung onto Maddie for a moment. She finally let go and Maddie headed downstairs, where Mike was waiting patiently.
"You look amazing." Mike told her before giving her a kiss.
"You look pretty good too." Maddie said. She pulled away to give the babies and Hannah a kiss goodbye. It was the first time she had left the twins. Finally, they were in the truck and pretty soon, Mike pulled into a hotel parking lot.
"Full disclosure; I took the easy route. There's a restaurant that has great food on the ground floor, and from our room; we'll be able to see fireworks." Mike said as he helped her out of the truck. There was no ladylike way to do it. Mike stood in front of her so the valet didn't get a good look.
"It'll be nice to eat a meal in peace." Maddie said. The valet gave Mike a ticket and they headed inside. The hotel was breathtaking and Maddie smiled at the decorations.
"We'll get checked in and take our bag upstairs, and then we'll eat." Mike told her and she nodded. He handled everything and as Maddie waited; she watched people. Once they were in the elevator, Maddie smiled over.
"I think people thought I was a prostitute in this dress." Maddie said. Mike looked down the front f the dress, and then looked back.
"Ha! Didn't think about it." Mike remarked.
"Mike…I really appreciate all the thought and care you put into this, but could we just order room service and stay in the room? I'm just not comfortable being seen like this." Maddie begged.
"How about this? We stay in the room and order the room service, but you stay in the dress, just for me?" Mike bargained.
"Deal." Maddie answered before giving him a kiss. At least then she didn't need to worry about sitting like a lady, or her lipstick smearing on her teeth.
"Alright." Mike said, giving her his arm before they stepped off the elevator.
"Will it bother you? You planned all this…" Maddie asked.
"I planned a night in a nice hotel with my wife, who had twins six weeks ago. A nice dinner and a bottle of wine. All of which we'll still accomplish." Mike said.
"Okay. You know; when we first started this, you said you weren't romantic? You were wrong." Maddie pointed out.
"Yeah, turning over a new leaf or trying to." Mike admitted. He opened the hotel room door, looked inside for a moment, and then let Maddie in. She took the coat off and smiled as Mike pulled a bottle of wine out of the bag.
"You brought our own bottle?" Maddie asked.
"Yeah. I didn't trust the waiter's opinion of wine. You and I both prefer a good red and you have been without a long time." Mike explained. He also unwrapped two wine glasses.
"Not the only thing I've been without." Maddie answered before putting her arms around Mike's neck and giving him a long and passionate kiss. Mike's hands were on her hips and she pulled him towards the bed, not caring about fireworks, wine or even food at that point. Of course, she worried about her body not being the same, but Mike was well aware that her body was not the same.
"You want to do this now?" Mike asked.
"Yes." Maddie said as she began undressing him. They had had sex while she was pregnant, but this was different. He reached around and unzipped the dress and Maddie shrugged it off.
"Damn." Mike said as he stepped back and admired her. She sat down and unzipped the boots and threw them off.
"Its holding all the rolls of fat in place." Maddie remarked.
"You look amazing." Mike said after she stood back up.
"Mike; I know you know this, but things won't be the same as before." Maddie said.
"And I also know it will be different because we love each other." Mike said. He threw the blankets back on the bed and then gave her another kiss.
"That is true." Maddie answered. He very gently laid her down on the bed and smiled down at her.
"I think this is a much better idea." Mike said. His gazing at her made Maddie a bit self-conscious but Mike didn't give her the time to even care.
An hour later, Maddie smiled in exhaustion. Maybe it was a bit differ post-partum, but it was still good and Mike had been incredibly sweet. She sat up, no longer caring about the corset that Mike had removed early on. She was covered up using the sheet and smile at Mike who walked out of the bathroom wearing nothing. He handed her a glass of wine and gave her a kiss.
"That was amazing." Maddie said. Mike had also covered up once he sat down next to her.
"Yes, it was. So, I was thinking; we could do some variation of this every few months." Mike told her.
"Okay, but every few months is not enough for me. We will have sex more often than that. We don't have to go to a fancy hotel, home is fine, but much more often than every few months." Maddie said as she snuck a hand under the sheet and up Mike's thigh.
"I won't argue with that…oh." Mike said with a moan. He put his wine glass down and reclined back against the pillows so that Maddie could do what she wanted.
"Good, now shut up." Maddie told him before kissing down his chest all while using her hand to rub in some very strategic areas. Mike never hesitated to make sure she felt pleasure whenever she voiced wanting it, but rarely asked her to do anything like it, even though she knew he liked it.
"You don't have to do this if you don't want to." Mike said quietly. Maddie looked up at him and smiled.
"Do you want it?" Maddie asked.
"Yes, very much so but no pressure." Mike said after moaning.
"None felt." Maddie answered. She gave him a long kiss and smiled as his hand went to her breasts immediately. "One more thing; I love you." Maddie said.
"I love you too. Can you just…here?" Mike asked, pulling her onto his lap. She straddled him, which allowed him full access to her nipples and he took full advantage. He didn't care about stretch marks or cellulite. It made her love him even more.
"After this, we take a break and order that room service." Maddie said just as Mike positioned her just right and pushed into her. Her mind went completely blank.
"Yes, ma'am." Mike said with a grin. She threw her arms around his neck and gave him another long kiss.
