Chapter Forty-Three

He couldn't get enough of kissing her. He never wanted to stop touching her. He is addicted to Elizabeth. He revels in the feel of her lips against his, her tongue dueling with his, her taste. Not letting her go, he walks over to the bed and gently lays her down in the middle. Leaning back, he looks at her, her eyes misted with passion, her lips swollen from his kisses. She is beautiful, inside and out.

Leaning up, Elizabeth pulls his shirt up, running her hands up Jason's taut stomach and chest. Reaching behind, he grabs the shirt to pull it up and over his head, tossing it to the floor. She is fascinated by his body, and cannot stop touching him. Trailing kisses from his neck to his stomach, she basks in the shivers she feels rippling through his muscles as they jump at her touch. Flicking the button to his jeans open, she gasps as he quickly stops her hands from going further. Looking up at him, he reads the question in her eyes. Reading the look in his eyes, she realizes that he wants to take things a little slower. He doesn't want this to end before it begins.

Laying her back down, he takes his time exploring her mouth with lips, teeth and tongue. Sliding across her jaw, he nibbles at her earlobe before kissing down the side of her neck. Finding the sensitive area between her neck and shoulder, he slowly drives her to the brink, nipping, licking and sucking. His hands tease her sides as he works her sweater up her body. Lifting her slightly to remove it completely, he pauses a moment to take in the sight of her slightly swelled stomach safely housing their child. Reverently, he places a kiss on their unborn baby.

Running her hands through his hair, she tugs gently, drawing his eyes up to hers. Seeing the look in her indigo stare, he shifts back up her body to recapture her lips in a passion-filled kiss. Careful to keep his full weight off of their child, he settles beside her, pulling her close while his hands resume his exploration of her body. He is in awe of the changes her body is going through in support of the life within her.

Like a moth to a flame, Jason's hands are drawn to Elizabeth's breasts. Enjoying the moans she makes as his thumbs rub back and forth over her bra covered nipples. Arching slightly, she thrusts her breasts into his hands more fully. Easing her bra off her body, Jason replaces his hands with his mouth, teasing first one then the other with light flicks of his tongue. Finally, he takes her fully into his mouth and proceeds to drive her crazy with need as he feasts.

Squirming with want, Elizabeth drags her fingernails from Jason's collarbone to his pants, drawing a moan from deep within him. Sliding her hands back up his muscled torso, she tugs on the hair at the back of his neck to bring him back up to face her. Kissing him with unrestrained passion, she hears the growl in the back of his throat. His hands skim over her body as he drags her pants and panties off in one smooth motion.

Lying naked before him, she sees the love and passion in his eyes. She revels in the knowledge that she has brought that look into his beautiful sky blue orbs. This time he doesn't stop her from completing her earlier task of removing his jeans. Sliding her hands up the zipper, she slowly releases the pressure his jeans have created against his erection. Both hands slip down the back of his jeans and boxer briefs to cup his ass. Using the leverage she's gained, she pushes both articles down and off of his body. When she can't reach any further, he kicks the offending items onto the floor and slides his now naked body back up to lay against hers. Skin to skin, they touch, fondle and kiss until the passion between them becomes unbearable and will only be sated when he is buried deep within her body.

Flipping them so that she is straddling him, Jason allows her to set the pace and depth comfortable to her pregnancy. Twining their fingers together and using his strength as her leverage, she starts slow and steady. As their passion builds, she becomes more forceful in her thrusts. Releasing their hands, Jason grabs her hips to add pressure to the thrusts bringing her to her first climax. Gently continuing to thrust through her orgasm, he repositions them, flipping them so that Elizabeth is on her back at the end of the bed. Standing at the end of the bed, he hooks her legs over his elbows. The change in angle for her is electric. As his thrusts begin to increase again, he starts to hit her sweet spot each time, making her writhe on the bed in ecstasy, her moans feeding his lust exponentially. He knows that he is close, but he doesn't want to go over without her. His thumb finding her pleasure center, he strokes it in time with his thrusts, sending her into another orgasm moments before his own hits. Kissing deeply and passionately to capture the screams of each other's release.

Dropping to his knees at the end of the bed, he laid his head on her stomach to catch his breath. Listening to her breathing, as she tried to quiet it, he feels her hands running through his hair, over and over. After several minutes, he gets up and is able to move her back to the head of the bed, lying down beside her, enfolding her in his arms as they fully recover from their lovemaking.

"I love you," he said.

Smiling against his chest, "I love you, too."

A/N: I apologize to anyone who did not enjoy this love scene. I found that it just wasn't in me to go full out smut. This was my first ever attempt at a love/erotic scene… My intent, also, was to show the connection between these two characters and that they didn't need words to express themselves, which is why there is no dialogue until the end of the act of making love, when they spoke the words.
