Maya kisses Emily assuring her that she is well enough to love her and that tonight she needs to show her.

She tilts her head up with a smile, "But I can't waste another second not being with you because of my guilt. I can't unchange what happened between you and me and I don't want to. I'll be there for Josh but now I need to be there for us. I need to make love with you…"

Chapter 27: An Intimate Portrait

Emily POV

Maya stands up reaching for me encouraging me to come with her. I smile shyly but I don't know why, it's not like we've never been intimate before, this time though it's different. But I take Maya's hand anyway allowing her to lead me upstairs. She squeezes my hand in hers assuring me that this is what she wants and this is what we need. It's the start of our new life together and Maya wants to take full advantage while no one is around to interfere…

As we reach the top of the stairs, Maya drifts towards the master bedroom, mine and Ryan's master bedroom. I stop…

"Maya, do you really want to sleep in the bed that Josh and I slept in?" she asks not so sure it's a good idea.

Maya steps near to me speaking barely above a whisper, "And who were you thinking about when Ryan made love to you in that bed?" I lock eyes with her, how did she know.

I take both of Maya's hands in mine, "From the first day I met you, you filled every thought in my head with images of you. Yeah, I couldn't stop thinking about you. Even Ryan noticed how enthusiastic I was in bed," I laugh.

She steps even closer, wrapping her arms around my neck, "You took over my mind from that day forward and I too couldn't help thinking of you when I was with him."

She kisses the side of my mouth then brushes her nose gingerly against my cheek.

"Mmmmm, then it's settled, you and I sort of already had sex in the master bedroom," she winks against my face tickling me with her eyelash.

"Sort of already?" I snicker.

"Em, it's just a bed. What happens in that bed is up to you…"

Maya kisses me sweetly on the lips leaving me at the top of the stairs to ponder her words. She peeks over her shoulder from inside the bedroom hoping she's given me enough time to see things her way. And I do…

I come up behind her wrapping my arms around her waist and without missing a beat she slips her arms over mine. She rotates her head towards me catching my lips with hers. We smile into the kiss practically blushing. But then I quickly pull away rushing towards the window as I realize my hands were resting on Maya's pregnant belly…

"Baby, what are you doing?" she asks confused by my behavior.

"Maya, you're carrying Josh's child," I snap.

"I know that. But she's going to be our child too," she coos.

"I, I don't know if I can be with you," I say with my back to her.

"Em, this baby needs love more than ever. She needs to feel how much you love her. We both need to feel that," she draws closer.

"Maya, I'm scared," I finally confess.

She pushes up on her tiptoes resting her chin on my shoulder, "I'm scared too."

I lift my head up. She turns my body to face her. Those eyes, I can't resist those eyes, "Love me, love me the way you were meant to love me. Make me feel that nothing can ever come between us. Please Emily, love me."

Her eyes hold my gaze as she wets her lips readying them to kiss me. I lean slowly towards her giving in to the moment, giving in to Maya, giving in to our love. I brace her supporting her back while I lower myself just a bit to scoop Maya up into my able arms surprising her. She wraps her arms around my neck sealing our lips while a sudden burst of emotion makes her weepy…

I attempt to say something but Maya shushes me nodding her head and smiling that she's okay. I carry her to the bed carefully lying her down so I can admire her, all of her…

"Em? Are you okay?"

I kneel on the floor next to the bed lacing my fingers with hers using my other hand to hold onto our joined ones. I kiss Maya's hand over and over then caress it with my cheek. I sniffle smiling into her eyes, her misty beautiful brown eyes. Maya smiles back at me watching as I kiss our hands over and over…

"What is it baby?"

"I guess I'm overwhelmed with emotion. It hit me kind of all at once, me, you, the life inside of you. I didn't think I was gonna be a mom for a while and now look at us."

We giggle softly.

"I wasn't expected her either but…," she cups the side of my face, "I'm so happy. I'm happier than I ever thought I could be. I'm having a baby, our baby."

Simultaneously, the tears run down our faces, happy tears.

She swipes the hair from my eyes smiling, "Hello Emily."

I release our hands looking from her eyes to her belly. I push up Maya's tank top gently placing my hand on her stomach bringing my eyes back to Maya's smiling, "Hello Maya."

I keep my hand on her belly caressing it gently with my thumb as I lean closer to her lips kissing her with more love than either of us has ever experienced in our lifetimes. Maya rests her hand over mine, the two of us protecting her, nurturing her, loving her…

"I don't want to be scared anymore," I finally admit to her.

"Then don't be. We can be brave together."

I believe her. We need to be brave for each other and our baby. I slide our hands to the curve at her waist so I can place soft gentle kisses on her tummy. She trembles. Her hand slips through my hair relaxing me massaging any doubt from my head. I need more of her. It's time…

Maya slips her tank top off, her breasts appear fuller and her nipples more pronounced as she moves my hand from the side of her belly to her stimulated darkened tips. I touch them with tenderness using just the tip of my fingers to massage them to a brimming arousal. My mouth continues its journey around her plump breasts while my fingers hook the top of her pajama bottoms removing them from her feminine frame. My mouth roams slowly, purposely over her entire body unwinding the two of us. She closes her eyes needing to fully appreciate every kiss, lick and nibble while inflecting soft sensual sounds hungering for my touch…

I stand up ridding my body of its layers watching Maya scoot over to the middle of the bed. She's mesmerizing, attending to her own needs, gently caressing her breasts with one hand while the other glides freely between her legs drifting over her perfect slit. I need my body to be one with hers but I hesitate…

"Baby, you won't hurt me or her. I'm strong and so is she. This life inside of me is developing every day."

She reaches for me.

"Come."

With just one word I know this is where I belong and with just one heart-searching glance into her eyes I know where I need to be. I lift one knee onto the bed followed by the other, kneeling beside her, wanting to be with her…

"It's okay."

Her silky vocals make me tremble forcing me to take a deep breath letting it out slowly regaining my senses. My mouth opens slightly giving away my anxiousness to be with her. I slip one knee between her legs lowering myself to be nearer to her warm alluring body. I settle next to her with only my thigh and hip on top of her…

"Am I putting too much pressure on you?" I ask concerned for her and the baby.

"No baby. You're doing just fine. Just stop thinking and start doing," she purrs casting a spell over me influencing my body into heeding her wishes.

I hold her in my arms kissing her lips moving our cores against one another wanting, needing, and longing to be together. I pull her leg against my body at the back of her knee thirsting for her to be locked onto me. We are so in tune to each other that the only sound I hear is the sound of our hearts beating as one. Our breathing escalates, our rhythm quickens, our tongues tap, our lips caress, our hands feel, our hearts pound, our passion ignites, our bodies erupt, our juices flow…

"I need you so much," I nuzzle into her neck.

"I need you too. I need you to love me, all of me. Do you get that?" she raises an eyebrow.

I look into her eyes, "You mean…"

"Yeah, that's what I mean…"
