"Baby how you feeling?" Corny asked Maybelle as she hopped back into bed from feeding Izzy.

"I'm alright sugar. I just um,need to sleep." Maybelle responded, snuggling into bed, cuddling Corny.

"Baby?" Corny asked, now holding Maybelle in his arms .

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"Being you. Being strong. Managing being a mother to an adult, a teenager, and a 2 month old child. For being an amazing almost wife. For being the most beautiful woman in all of Baltimore."

"Just Baltimore?"

"Did I say Baltimore? I meant the whole universe." he said looking down at her and laughing. She gave him a kiss and rolled over to where he was spooning her. She let out a heavy sigh and let herself melt into his embrace. It had been a minute since they had last cuddled or even got close to each other when they slept. He felt so nice pressed up against her. She felt equally as nice in his arms.

"Corny?" Maybelle asked in a voice so quietly and so softly that Corny didn't even recognize it.

"Yes baby?" Corny asked pulling her even closer to him.

"I've missed you."

"How i'm with you every day?"

"No baby, i've really missed you" she said, rolling her body against him. Corny immediately understood what she meant.

"But Baby can you -"

"I had an appointment and I ask because I knew that you have been patiently waiting and I have been desperately wanting, so I got all cleared and um, i'm waiting." Maybelle responded, the last part on a sultry tone.

"But," Maybelle continued, "She did say to take it extremely slow"

"That's fine with me" he responded leaving kisses on the side of her neck. She hadn't felt his lips against her skin in a while and the feeling made her shudder.

Corny decided that he could wait another night or two because of fear that he would hurt Maybelle. He decided that tonight was just going to be about her. Sure when they did have sex, that 1 time, that it was about her but he still got attention, pleasure. Tonight was solely for her.

She turned over and kissed him sinfully. She moved her hand down to the hem of his pajama shirt, to pull it off, but he pulled away and shook his head.

"Baby tonight is all about you, okay. Tonight is for your pleasure not mine, just yours." Corny said looking her deep in her eyes while tracing his hands down the side of her body, pulling off her gown. She shutterd one more at the feeling of his fingertips brushing gently against her thighs. He snaked his arms around her waist pulling her closer once more. He kissed her and slowly pulled off her lavish undergarments.

He kissed along her neck once more trailing them down her collarbone down to her breast. He left open-mouthed kissed along them, making her moan. She understood that tonight was about her but she still wanted him to gain at least a little bit of pleasure, even if it was just her hands gliding against his skin. She reached down once more to pull off his shirt.

"Corny," Maybelle moaned, "Baby, take it off." she said desperately trying to pull it over his head. He helped her get it off and threw it to the side. He continued to trail kisses along her body finally reaching his destination.

"C-c-c Corny" Maybelle moaned. She wanting him badly. She enjoyed this but she still wanted him. She used her hands to push off his head and pulled his face up to hers. Before he could say anything she kissed him.

"Baby. I want you. Now. Please." Maybelle said desperately.

"Belle I don't want to hurt you." Corny responded.

"You won't. Please." Maybelle said before kissing him again.

She ran her hands down his back feeling his muscles. She slowly drug her fingernails up it again, making him moan into the kiss. She lifted her legs and pushed down his pajama pants.

"Baby are you gonna be ok?" Corny asked before moving any further.

"Yes." Maybelle said, taking a deep breath.

"I love you so much baby." Corny said distracting her from whatever pain she was in when he entered her.

"I love you too." Maybelle moaned at the amount of pleasure she was receiving.Maybelle looked back on that past 10 years of them being together and realized that all the time that she spent keeping her hands off of him, she could have had more of these precious moments like this one with him.
