Chapter 12: The Fortune of Your Future
Liz hosted the best family Christmas and she felt happier then she felt all year. Even Todd noticed she was feeling a bit better. It was Christmas day and the whole family had just finished eating an early dinner. It was now just after 4:00. Todd, stuffed as could be, grabbed Liz and stood with her under the one little sprig of mistletoe they had put in the house, it was by the sliding glass door that led to the backyard. He wrapped his arms around her and smiled down at her. "I'm glad to see you back to your normal Liz-like self" he commented. "It's just too bad that you couldn't shake the flu completely before Christmas." he said, then kissed her. She had still been throwing up occasionally, even after her doctors appointment, even he wasn't oblivious to miss that.
"Yea, it's still there," Liz said smiling at him. If only he knew, she thought to herself. She kissed him and went back inside she wanted to make New Years Eve plans with Jess and Nick before they left. She pulled Jess aside talking to her softly. Jess squeezed her hand. Tonight was the night she was going to tell Todd she was pregnant. Liz had kept it a secret for this long, it would only be a little bit longer. There had been many slip ups though. The phone messages that she had to keep intercepting and everyone making her and Jess stay at the table before dinner. They didn't want them to over exert themselves. Todd had looked at her suspiciously but she had avoided eye contact. It was kind of silly she had thought, but she had enjoyed not having to run around doing those last minute dinner preparations and family fighting over who was going to do what. Finally after what seemed like ages, everyone decided to leave. Liz hugged everyone one last time before they left ! and gave a wink to Jess.
Todd hugged Mr. and Mrs. Wakefield and kissed Jess on the cheek as they left. He saw that wink. He turned to Liz, "Uh oh, what's the psycho twin up to?" he asked, as he shut the door behind them. He walked back into the living room and decided to sit in front of the fireplace they had turned on. He smiled up at Liz. "Merry Christmas Liz- our third one together."
Liz sat down in Todd's lap. "Merry Christmas Todd," she said kissing him sweetly. She chose to ignore Todd's comment, many fights had risen when then talked about Jess, and she just didn't want to deal with it now, not this time especially since it was Christmas. "I have one more gift for you," she said, focusing her thoughts on his surprise gift.
"Really? What?" he asked, his eyes lighting up. He loved presents. He shifted his weight some, to accommodate Elizabeth's weight. He looked at the fireplace right in front of him. The fire was so hot and so powerful and equally- beautiful. Very similar to Liz.
Liz laughed, "Be patient I'll go get it," she said kissing him on the lips. She stood up and went to the bedroom and grabbed the little package from her underwear drawer; the one gift that hadn't been opened. She looked into the mirror and and smiled at her reflection. For the first time in months she looked happy and partly healthy. Of course there was still that nagging morning sickness and waves of nausea. But since she knew that meant there was a baby growing inside of her, it made if seem bearable. She walked back out to the living room where Todd got up from the floor and went and sat on the couch excited. She bit her lip. This was it. She gave Todd the little box wrapped in red paper. She sat down beside him on the couch putting her hand on his knee. She watched him open it. He was going painstakingly slow and Liz was tempted to take it and unwrap it herself. He finally took all the paper off to reveal a jewelry box. He looked at her smiling, "You shouldn't have, " he said in a false soprano voice, like he was opening jewelry he had received from his man or something. She slapped his thigh softly telling him to just open it. Inside was a fortune cookie. What seemed like an obstacle was making Liz seem nervous. Todd cracked the fortune cookie open and took out the message, reading it silently in his head. He read it out loud, "A bundle of joy is right around the corner," he read again, out loud but softly this time.
The first time Todd read it out loud it didn't register. He was just reading words on a paper. So he did it again. The second time, as he said it more to himself, he said it slower. Then he looked at the tiny piece of paper in his hands, then down do Liz's tiny hand on his knee. And he understood. He was thrilled beyond words, a little stunned, and didn't know what do do. His mouth was kinda of gaping open, and his heartbeat had accelerated. They were.....She was.....FINALLY! Todd stared incredulously into Elizabeth's eyes, which were downright sparkling. "Really.....you're?......" he finally spoke, a humongous smile
just counting the seconds till it could come out and appear on his face.
Liz giggled smiling. He sounded the same way she did when she found out. She leaned into him and hugged him tight. They were going to be parents! She still couldn't believe it. She kissed him passionately with as much force as she had in almost a year. It seemed Todd felt the same way, judging from the kiss he was giving back. The stayed like that in each others arms- everything around them seemed to disappear. All Liz could concentrate on was Todd.
Todd was elated. He felt Liz's lips meet his and they both kissed each other with such fervor, as if there was no tomorrow. Todd just couldn't contain his happiness. After he broke the kiss to breath he brought his lips right back to her, kissing all over her face as he held the sides of her head in both of his hands. "Oh God Liz" kiss kiss "I can't believe it" kiss kiss "Finally, after all the waiting" kiss kiss "Oh God I'm so happy" kiss kiss. There might even have been a little moistness in his eyes. Todd had never been as happy as he was now. And part of it was because he knew how happy Liz was. She defined his happiness. She defined him.
Liz felt tears in her eyes. She broke away from Todd, sitting back some, and smiled. "We're going to be parent's!" she said barely able to contain her excitement. "Come here" he said to her as she sat on Todd's lap and kissed him, her arms circling around his neck. She was finally able to share her secret with him. Even though they had a good 7 and a half months to go, that didn't stop Liz from becoming ecstatic now. Liz all of a sudden had a strong urge to be close to Todd again, going back to how it all happened.
"Yeah we are" Todd said back to her, hid beaming face showing what he truly thought of the idea. "When do you think it happened? Never mind, I don't think I want to know." he relented, thinking back to their baby making mess. "How far along are you? When's the due date? When did you find this out?!" Todd asked, so curious, so wanting this information, so that he could share in everything with Liz. The grin hadn't left his face, and even though Liz had pulled away from his hands on her face, , he was able to wrap both of his arms around her waist. She was now sitting on his lap sideways, her feet hanging over him and resting onto the couch.
Liz smiled at Todd's probing questions. She decided to the best job to answer. "Well since we've been so stressed out and haven't really done much of anything in the last month I believe it was the night that I made spaghetti- remember, with the music and candles? Anytime before that couldn't and that's the only time I remember." She nudged her forehead forward and pressed it against his. " I found a couple of weeks ago when I finally decided to go to the doctors since I felt so horrible," she said, "and they said that I was about 4 weeks pregnant. So now I'm right at about a month and a half."
Todd just looked at her with a mixture of awe and happiness. "So- so when then?" he murmured, trying to do math in his brain but it just wasn't working. "When is the baby going to be born?" He shifted slightly to accommodate Liz's weight in his lap.
"Hopefully if everything goes to plan, the baby will be due August 13th," she smiled, "I just hope it doesn't fall on a Friday!"
Todd started to laugh but then his expression went sober when her words really registered. "What if it does!?" he exclaimed, worried.
Liz looked at him solemnly, "Jess and I were born on Friday the 13th," she said mock seriously. "I'm sure my mother would love to relive the tale,"
"No!" Todd exclaimed, shocked. The thought of having twins got to him. He pushed the thought out of his mind. "Well, we'll have to have them get it out of you early or keep it in you late so that it doesn't fall on a Friday the 13th." Todd stated ridiculously. He was very worried about this.
"Todd you're not superstitious, stop making fun of me!" she tickled him playfully.
"But I'm not making fun of you, and ya I've never been superstitious before, but come on, we can't take any chances with this. It's our baby. What's more important than that?" He took Liz's face in his large hands again and just stated at her. "I'm so happy Elizabeth. I've really, really wanted this for such a long time now."
Liz placed her hand over Todd's that were on her face. "Me too Todd, but don't worry the forces of evil will have no affect on Friday the 13th," she said smiling, she kissed him on the cheek. "So was that a good Christmas present or what?"
"No, it was the best gift ever. Really. I mean, I don't think anything can ever compare to a wife telling her husband that's she's pregnant with his child." he said soberly. He put his head to her cheek. "Thank you Elizabeth, thank you. I love you so much, and I'm going to be so supportive of you throughout every step of the pregnancy."
"Well I hope so!" Liz said growing serious, "I mean I'm sort of scared, the labor is supposed to hurt," she looked at him like a terrified child going to kindergarten for the first time.
Todd quickly moved his hands form her face to around her body, to feel more comforting and supporting. "Oh no Liz- It'll be fine, really. You're tough, I'm sure nothing will even phase you." he said trying to pep talk his wife. But if he let his mind GO THERE, which he wasn't, he'd admit that he was terrified as hell about the labor too, and he'd only be there to watch it, not partake in it. From all those movies and stuff the woman was always screaming out bloody murder, and looked like they were in so much pain. But Todd tried to clear his head, and told himself that it wouldn't be like that for them. For Liz. "We'll go to every class imaginable, every one the hospital and the community centers have. And books Liz, books! We'll both read a ton of books on pregnancy and childbirth and babies and everything."
Liz nodded feeling a bit more confident, but like Jessica said earlier at dinner, She would just have to wait and see. She bent her head close to Todd and wrapped her arms around his body hugging him back.
Todd began kissing her softly, all over the place. He was trying to be romantic, and make Liz feel good, and show Liz how happy he was. " I love you so much" he said huskily a few minutes after some heavy kissing and breathing. "I mean, I never thought I could love you more, but now I do."
Liz looked at Todd like she hadn't looked at him in weeks. "I love you more than life itself," she said kissing him passionately on the lips.
Todd's eyes were closed in delirious happiness as he felt around and kissed Elizabeth's neck. "I love you more than life itself too" he stated breathlessly, "that's how we were able to make another one." By now Todd felt Elizabeth inching to try and get her legs a round him, to have some closeness down there along with everywhere else. She was getting sexual, it was moving beyond romantic. "Come on, let's go lay in front of the fire" he suggested to her, kissing her eyelids.
Liz was ready to climb off his legs and go lay on the rug in front of the fire place but Todd easily scooped her up and set her down. She smiled pulling him down close to her. They were both laying on their backs when Liz rolled over on her side her hand tracing his face. She could see the orange glow touching his face.
Todd sighed, a totally happy and content sigh as he watched his wife's face so close to his, her delicate fingertips on his face. He just smiled up at her, one arm touching her side.
She brought her face close, her lips hovering right over his. She could feel his breath on her cheek. She wrapped her fingers around his hand.
Todd intertwined his fingers with hers and squeezed. Todd then gave her a lingering, racy kiss, while half of his body touched hers. He slid one smooth palm up the back of her soft sweater.
Liz pressed her body closer to Todd's, her hands traveling all over his. She kissed him with such force it set them both breathless. She traced a line of fiery kisses along his jaw line and cheek.
Todd was full on panting now between kisses. His hand that had been up the back of her shirt was fiddling with the hooks of her bra, but not undoing them. He felt himself becoming hard and erect within his khaki pants, and squeezed his eyes shut to stop, and get a hold of himself. He felt Liz's mouth on his face and groaned. She knew how to make him feel so good- and so quickly at that!
Liz pushed herself up so she was leaning on her arm. With her other arm she slid it under Todd's hunter green polo and felt the smooth skin. She pulled his shirt up just enough, and started kissing his stomach and his chest., enjoying the way the soft hairs on his chest felt against her lips. She pressed her body up against against his rubbing him up and down. She instantly felt some action downstairs. She continued to grind the growing bulge in his pants.
Todd's eyes rolled back in his head. He felt like he was gonna come right there in his neatly pressed khakis. He was able to get his hands between himself and Liz as sort of a buffer zone, cause certain parts of him certainly didn't need any more buffing. He groaned again, a low rumble from way back somewhere in his throat. "Liz, Liz, wait, wait." he gasped, but kissed her cheek. "It's time to put the brakes on."
he said feebly, knowing his body.
Liz pulled her head up but not without taking her body off of him, "Why," she asked looking at him questioningly. He was definitely into it, so why wouldn't they want to continue- especially with the amounts of passion they were already arising in each other.
"Because, I'm about ready to cum, and we were only gonna fool around" he told her running one hand up the side of her shirt and the other one caressed the back of her thigh. There was no humanly possible way to absolutely keep his hands off of her.
"Who says we were only going to fool around?" Liz said closing her eyes enjoying Todd's touch. She had forgotten the affect he had on her. They had not gotten this close in weeks. And even before then, their lovemaking had no passion behind it. She loosened the belt on his khakis and slowly unbuttoned the button.
Todd squirmed under her. But he continued to feel her up, unable to take his hands away from her. This was the first time in a long time where he could remember where both he he and Liz unable to keep their hands off of each other at the same time. But that didn't mean they should, "But we can't" he gasped out, feeling her stomach run against his protruding erection.
"Todd yes we can!" She protested kissing him softly on the lips. She unzipped his pants exposing his protruding member. She couldn't understand why he wasn't giving into this temptation. She sat up a bit to take her sweater off over her head.
"Uhhhhhhhhh" Todd groaned, she wasn't making this easy. Now his erection was exposed, and just out there, for Liz to do with whatever she damn well pleased with it, and that thought alone was causing him to keep growing. He got a little bit of relief, or was it the opposite, when she got off him to take her sweater off. He watched as the light blue soft and fuzzy sweater came up over her breasts and then her head. She set it beside them. Like magnets, his hands went to the new eye candy, as he ran them over her simple cotton bra. "But what about.......you know....." he trailed off.
She looked into his eyes expectantly waiting for him to finish. With her hands she started pulling his pants down massaging his thighs and working closer to between his legs. The fire, and them- were getting hotter.
Todd's rubbing of Liz's breasts got even more amplified as she undressed him more and more. Todd's hands then moved to the back of her black pants, and he rubbed over her bottom, then lifted them up some. "What about..." he wasn't sure what to call it, so he went with, "It"
"It meaning the baby? or it meaning your growing penis?" she cracked with a smile. "The baby will be fine! I've read that having sex wont affect the fetus at all."
Todd smiled at her little comment. "Yeah, the baby. But- but what if I hit it?" he asked, dense.
Liz stopped what she was doing with her hands and rolled her eyes, "Todd I know you're big, but not that big! There's no way your penis could reach the baby even if you really wanted it to." she tried to explain, with her somewhat limited knowledge on the matter. But between knowledge, sex ed, and common sense, that's what she came up with.
Todd wondered how she had all of a sudden become an expert of pregnancy, as she spit these facts out to him. But one thing was or sure,
words commenting on the size of his girth turned him on! Immensely. Expertly he undid her pants and helped her wiggle out of them. Then he kissed her shoulder, trying his last argument. "But won't it be- weird? It- watching us-? he asked, really feeling that psychological roadblock, as he felt a little bit of his wetness escape from his tip and he clenched himself to keep from loosing it altogether. All he had to do was control himself, and he figured he could do that... He was starting to feel dizzy, from extracting all this willpower. And Liz's kisses of course always left him dizzy and dazed.
"Tooo-ooood" Liz whined, just wanting them to have this! "The baby won't know."
That worked for him. Todd looped his thumbs on her underwear and yanked them down far enough so that he could still accomplish his task. Todd scootched out from under Liz, and rose to a sitting position Then gently he kissed her mouth, pushing her down in the act, so that he was now on the floor on her back. Todd then yanked everything of his off down around his ankles, so that it wouldn't get in the way. He lifted his hands above his head and removed his sweater. He hoped the living room curtains were closed. He bent and caught Elizabeth's panties in his teeth, from there position right around her mid thigh, and drew them down.
Liz laughed, her head leaning back on the carpet. This was more like it she though. And she liked that Todd was feigning playful- using his teeth and not just yanking them off with his hands. She stared up into the twinkling tree lights. In the window she saw the first star out that night. She closed her eyes and made a wish. She felt the fires warm glow bathing her face, and Todd's kissing raining all over her body.
Todd yanked her panties all the way down her slender legs with his teeth slightly scraping her skin. Then, because he knew he was about ready to come, and couldn't take much more stimulation, went to work on her. He opened up her legs with his hands, and then positioned himself so that his head could comfortably have access. Putting one hand up by her breasts, rubbing them gently, caringly, he brought his mouth to her sweetness and began kissing, teasing, and very gently nibbling on her. He kept this up for a few minutes, trying to get her to reach her first orgasm before he even entered her. Hey, she deserved it.
Liz sighed. She hadn't expected this gracious foreplay from Todd but now that she was receiving it, she wouldn't turn it down. Todd's soft tongue was arising feelings she had not felt in a long time. She closed her eyes and moaned. She felt a tingling go through her whole body. Todd sure knew how to hit her buttons. After three years of marriage, he had perfected that. He continued to lick and massage. She suddenly felt him reach her most sensitive spots and she started to scream out loud.
Todd moved his head away from Elizabeth as he watched her climax. He smiled, she sure seemed to be enjoying herself. He licked his lips. Todd felt good. Then he traced a single finger down her chest, between her heaving breasts, to her belly button, then laid down on his back besides Liz, as he still heard her sporadic breathing, She hadn't completely come down yet. "You better get on top, cuz if I'm controlling it, it's not gonna last very long" he said candidly to her, offering her himself and his tall, throbbing erection for her to mount.
Liz continued to breath heavily but obliged. She sat on top of him rubbing her wet clit up against him. She didn't let him enter, but grinded up wanting to get plenty of pleasure as he supplied for her. She heard Todd groan and reach for her but she stayed out of his hands reach. She continued to tease him harder and faster. When she saw that he was about ready to cum she sat up letting him enter her as she came down on his hard erection. She did it deliberate and slow watching him wither in torture. She started riding him painstakingly slow letting him reach the far most corners, and she tightened around him.
Liz was definitely in control. She set the pace, she directed him where to go, and he was just along for the ride. It was like she was taking advantage of him, using his erection for her pleasure only, and Todd loved telling himself this. She rode him for a good 10 minutes until Todd finally ejaculated within her. He emptied himself in her with a low grunt that came from his gut. Liz had climaxed again reaching her second orgasm right before she set his off. He didn't know what had made him prolong their lovemaking, how he had enough resistance to not just cum early, but maybe it had something to do with the little fetus that Todd was sharing Elizabeth's deepest caverns with now. Todd lay spent and satisfied underneath Liz, his eyes closed and his heart racing. That had been amazing. It had been overdue.
Liz fell beside him in exhaustion. She looked at him hugging him close. She then grabbed a quilt and pulled it over them. She watched the twinkling lights as they slowly drifted off to sleep in each others arms on the soft rug in front of the glowing fire. The baby-making process had just gotten good between them again. It was a double win. They had the baby AND the hot lovemaking.
Liz hosted the best family Christmas and she felt happier then she felt all year. Even Todd noticed she was feeling a bit better. It was Christmas day and the whole family had just finished eating an early dinner. It was now just after 4:00. Todd, stuffed as could be, grabbed Liz and stood with her under the one little sprig of mistletoe they had put in the house, it was by the sliding glass door that led to the backyard.

She kissed him and went back inside she wanted to make New Years Eve plans with Jess and Nick before they left. She pulled Jess aside talking to her softly. Jess squeezed her hand. Tonight was the night she was going to tell Todd she was pregnant. Liz had kept it a secret for this long, it would only be a little bit longer. There had been many slip ups though.

Liz nodded feeling a bit more confident, but like Jessica said earlier at dinner, She would just have to wait and see. She bent her head close to Todd and wrapped her arms around his body hugging him back.
Todd began kissing her softly, all over the place. He was trying to be romantic, and make Liz feel good, and show Liz how happy he was. " I love you so much" he said huskily a few minutes after some heavy kissing and breathing. "I mean, I never thought I could love you more, but now I do."
Liz looked at Todd like she hadn't looked at him in weeks. "I love you more than life itself," she said kissing him passionately on the lips.
Todd's eyes were closed in delirious happiness as he felt around and kissed Elizabeth's neck. "I love you more than life itself too" he stated breathlessly, "that's how we were able to make another one." By now Todd felt Elizabeth inching to try and get her legs a round him, to have some closeness down there along with everywhere else. She was getting sexual, it was moving beyond romantic. "Come on, let's go lay in front of the fire" he suggested to her, kissing her eyelids.
Liz was ready to climb off his legs and go lay on the rug in front of the fire place but Todd easily scooped her up and set her down. She smiled pulling him down close to her. They were both laying on their backs when Liz rolled over on her side her hand tracing his face. She could see the orange glow touching his face.
Todd sighed, a totally happy and content sigh as he watched his wife's face so close to his, her delicate fingertips on his face. He just smiled up at her, one arm touching her side.
She brought her face close, her lips hovering right over his. She could feel his breath on her cheek. She wrapped her fingers around his hand.
Todd intertwined his fingers with hers and squeezed. Todd then gave her a lingering, racy kiss, while half of his body touched hers. He slid one smooth palm up the back of her soft sweater.
Liz pressed her body closer to Todd's, her hands traveling all over his. She kissed him with such force it set them both breathless. She traced a line of fiery kisses along his jaw line and cheek.
Todd was full on panting now between kisses. His hand that had been up the back of her shirt was fiddling with the hooks of her bra, but not undoing them. He felt himself becoming hard and erect within his khaki pants, and squeezed his eyes shut to stop, and get a hold of himself. He felt Liz's mouth on his face and groaned. She knew how to make him feel so good- and so quickly at that!
Liz pushed herself up so she was leaning on her arm. With her other arm she slid it under Todd's hunter green polo and felt the smooth skin. She pulled his shirt up just enough, and started kissing his stomach and his chest., enjoying the way the soft hairs on his chest felt against her lips. She pressed her body up against against his rubbing him up and down. She instantly felt some action downstairs. She continued to grind the growing bulge in his pants.
Todd's eyes rolled back in his head. He felt like he was gonna come right there in his neatly pressed khakis. He was able to get his hands between himself and Liz as sort of a buffer zone, cause certain parts of him certainly didn't need any more buffing. He groaned again, a low rumble from way back somewhere in his throat. "Liz, Liz, wait, wait." he gasped, but kissed her cheek. "It's time to put the brakes on."
he said feebly, knowing his body.
Liz pulled her head up but not without taking her body off of him, "Why," she asked looking at him questioningly. He was definitely into it, so why wouldn't they want to continue- especially with the amounts of passion they were already arising in each other.
"Because, I'm about ready to cum, and we were only gonna fool around" he told her running one hand up the side of her shirt and the other one caressed the back of her thigh. There was no humanly possible way to absolutely keep his hands off of her.
"Who says we were only going to fool around?" Liz said closing her eyes enjoying Todd's touch. She had forgotten the affect he had on her. They had not gotten this close in weeks. And even before then, their lovemaking had no passion behind it. She loosened the belt on his khakis and slowly unbuttoned the button.
Todd squirmed under her. But he continued to feel her up, unable to take his hands away from her. This was the first time in a long time where he could remember where both he he and Liz unable to keep their hands off of each other at the same time. But that didn't mean they should, "But we can't" he gasped out, feeling her stomach run against his protruding erection.
"Todd yes we can!" She protested kissing him softly on the lips. She unzipped his pants exposing his protruding member. She couldn't understand why he wasn't giving into this temptation. She sat up a bit to take her sweater off over her head.
"Uhhhhhhhhh" Todd groaned, she wasn't making this easy. Now his erection was exposed, and just out there, for Liz to do with whatever she damn well pleased with it, and that thought alone was causing him to keep growing. He got a little bit of relief, or was it the opposite, when she got off him to take her sweater off. He watched as the light blue soft and fuzzy sweater came up over her breasts and then her head. She set it beside them. Like magnets, his hands went to the new eye candy, as he ran them over her simple cotton bra. "But what about.......you know....." he trailed off.
She looked into his eyes expectantly waiting for him to finish. With her hands she started pulling his pants down massaging his thighs and working closer to between his legs. The fire, and them- were getting hotter.
Todd's rubbing of Liz's breasts got even more amplified as she undressed him more and more. Todd's hands then moved to the back of her black pants, and he rubbed over her bottom, then lifted them up some. "What about..." he wasn't sure what to call it, so he went with, "It"
"It meaning the baby? or it meaning your growing penis?" she cracked with a smile. "The baby will be fine! I've read that having sex wont affect the fetus at all."
Todd smiled at her little comment. "Yeah, the baby. But- but what if I hit it?" he asked, dense.
Liz stopped what she was doing with her hands and rolled her eyes, "Todd I know you're big, but not that big! There's no way your penis could reach the baby even if you really wanted it to." she tried to explain, with her somewhat limited knowledge on the matter. But between knowledge, sex ed, and common sense, that's what she came up with.
Todd wondered how she had all of a sudden become an expert of pregnancy, as she spit these facts out to him. But one thing was or sure,
words commenting on the size of his girth turned him on! Immensely. Expertly he undid her pants and helped her wiggle out of them. Then he kissed her shoulder, trying his last argument. "But won't it be- weird? It- watching us-? he asked, really feeling that psychological roadblock, as he felt a little bit of his wetness escape from his tip and he clenched himself to keep from loosing it altogether. All he had to do was control himself, and he figured he could do that... He was starting to feel dizzy, from extracting all this willpower. And Liz's kisses of course always left him dizzy and dazed.
"Tooo-ooood" Liz whined, just wanting them to have this! "The baby won't know."
That worked for him. Todd looped his thumbs on her underwear and yanked them down far enough so that he could still accomplish his task. Todd scootched out from under Liz, and rose to a sitting position Then gently he kissed her mouth, pushing her down in the act, so that he was now on the floor on her back. Todd then yanked everything of his off down around his ankles, so that it wouldn't get in the way. He lifted his hands above his head and removed his sweater. He hoped the living room curtains were closed. He bent and caught Elizabeth's panties in his teeth, from there position right around her mid thigh, and drew them down.
Liz laughed, her head leaning back on the carpet. This was more like it she though. And she liked that Todd was feigning playful- using his teeth and not just yanking them off with his hands. She stared up into the twinkling tree lights. In the window she saw the first star out that night. She closed her eyes and made a wish. She felt the fires warm glow bathing her face, and Todd's kissing raining all over her body.
Todd yanked her panties all the way down her slender legs with his teeth slightly scraping her skin. Then, because he knew he was about ready to come, and couldn't take much more stimulation, went to work on her. He opened up her legs with his hands, and then positioned himself so that his head could comfortably have access. Putting one hand up by her breasts, rubbing them gently, caringly, he brought his mouth to her sweetness and began kissing, teasing, and very gently nibbling on her. He kept this up for a few minutes, trying to get her to reach her first orgasm before he even entered her. Hey, she deserved it.
Liz sighed. She hadn't expected this gracious foreplay from Todd but now that she was receiving it, she wouldn't turn it down. Todd's soft tongue was arising feelings she had not felt in a long time. She closed her eyes and moaned. She felt a tingling go through her whole body. Todd sure knew how to hit her buttons. After three years of marriage, he had perfected that. He continued to lick and massage. She suddenly felt him reach her most sensitive spots and she started to scream out loud.
Todd moved his head away from Elizabeth as he watched her climax. He smiled, she sure seemed to be enjoying herself. He licked his lips. Todd felt good. Then he traced a single finger down her chest, between her heaving breasts, to her belly button, then laid down on his back besides Liz, as he still heard her sporadic breathing, She hadn't completely come down yet. "You better get on top, cuz if I'm controlling it, it's not gonna last very long" he said candidly to her, offering her himself and his tall, throbbing erection for her to mount.
Liz continued to breath heavily but obliged. She sat on top of him rubbing her wet clit up against him. She didn't let him enter, but grinded up wanting to get plenty of pleasure as he supplied for her. She heard Todd groan and reach for her but she stayed out of his hands reach. She continued to tease him harder and faster. When she saw that he was about ready to cum she sat up letting him enter her as she came down on his hard erection. She did it deliberate and slow watching him wither in torture. She started riding him painstakingly slow letting him reach the far most corners, and she tightened around him.
Liz was definitely in control. She set the pace, she directed him where to go, and he was just along for the ride. It was like she was taking advantage of him, using his erection for her pleasure only, and Todd loved telling himself this. She rode him for a good 10 minutes until Todd finally ejaculated within her. He emptied himself in her with a low grunt that came from his gut. Liz had climaxed again reaching her second orgasm right before she set his off. He didn't know what had made him prolong their lovemaking, how he had enough resistance to not just cum early, but maybe it had something to do with the little fetus that Todd was sharing Elizabeth's deepest caverns with now. Todd lay spent and satisfied underneath Liz, his eyes closed and his heart racing. That had been amazing. It had been overdue.
Liz fell beside him in exhaustion. She looked at him hugging him close. She then grabbed a quilt and pulled it over them. She watched the twinkling lights as they slowly drifted off to sleep in each others arms on the soft rug in front of the glowing fire. The baby-making process had just gotten good between them again. It was a double win. They had the baby AND the hot lovemaking.
