Chapter NINETEEN

8 weeks Post Ben

"Doesn't she have her check-up today?"

I had been back to work for a week and I was trying my hardest not to work so late.

Being out of work for nearly two months made me wish I didn't have to go back. I didn't per se; I did it to keep myself sane, but after meeting Bella, I wanted all my time with her and Ben, now.

Bella still didn't know about my bank account. It's not that I'm keeping it from her or a secret. It has been out of sight, out of mind.

"Yeah. She'll be dropping Ben off with Vic." I tightened the bolt on a fuel line I just replaced. "Her appointment isn't until one."

"You're not going?" Mike meant well, but I was pretty sure he didn't know what her check-up entailed.

I gave him a dumb look. "Uh, no; this one's all her."

"Oh, it's that kind of check-up." He chuckled.

"Mason," Uncle Al yelled. "There's someone here to see you."

"Who?" I yelled back. "I'm not expecting anyone."

"Your aunt Kathryn."

I gave Mike a dumbfounded look. "I don't have an aunt Kath..." I had to stop my train of thought because my wife actually has an aunt Kathryn. "Never mind. She's Renee's youngest sister."

Uncle Al raised his brows as he approached me. "Have you even met the woman?"

"No, and I have no clue how she even knows where I work." I pulled my gloves off and made my way towards the front office.

When I entered, there was a woman dressed in a very short mini-skirt and a top that showed more cleavage than the average woman.

She looked up when she heard me enter. "You must be Edward Mason; my nieces husband."

Her hand extended towards me. "Yes. Is there something I can help you with?"

She squeezed my hand and lightly rubbed her thumb over my knuckles. "I just found out that my niece got married and has a baby. I thought I'd come and introduce myself."

"How, exactly, did you find out where I work?" I stayed by the door because this woman was nothing like I imagined. She definitely resembles her other sisters, but she appears like a floozy.

"My sister. She didn't tell me exactly where, but it wasn't that hard when I put two and two together. The name of the company was pretty obvious." If I was a rude person, I'd roll my eyes at her.

"Okay," I stressed. "Why did you come here when you, more than likely, know where we live?"

"Well," she shrugged her shoulders. "My niece and I really don't get along. We've had our differences since she was a teenager, but we're family and family should always stick together."

I gave her a strange look. "That still doesn't explain why you..."

She cut me off. "I needed to come see for myself that you were a good guy."

"Well it was nice meeting you, but I need to get back to work."

She smiled. "Of course. Could we have lunch sometime? I'd really like to get to know you a little better."

"I'd have to decline. I don't think my wife would very much appreciate the idea of her husband having lunch with an aunt that she doesn't get along with."

She stepped up really close to me and rubbed her had over my chest. "What she doesn't know won't hurt her."

I gripped her had and pulled it away. "Yes, it would." I stepped back. "Look, I don't know what you're playing at. I've never met you until now, and you show up at my job and do this. Bella won't be very happy when I tell her."

Kathryn snickered at me. "My niece has excellent taste." She smoothed her hair over her shoulder. "I guess I'll have to tell my sister what kind of man her daughter married."

"Excuse me?" I huffed angrily. "I don't know who the hell you think you are and I highly doubt my mother in-law will believe anything negative you tell her." I turned to leave the office. "I advise you to leave."

"We'll see," I heard her say when I left the office. The first thing I did was text Bella to let her know that her aunt paid me a visit.

To say she was pissed, would be a huge understatement.

My uncle agreed to turn Kathryn away if she ever showed up, again.

Later that night. "I can't believe that bitch." Bella was pacing the kitchen. "You know she's married with kids?"

"I had no clue." I poured Bella's favorite dressing over her salad. "I don't even know why she showed up at my job."

"Oh, I do. She wants to see if you have money, she can con out of you. She did it to my mom when she started dating Phil. She actually got a couple of grand out of him."

I gave my head a rub. "I don't see how your mom still talks to her, then."

"Mom said she claimed she changed. That was the only reason she let her in the house. She's sorry she even said anything." Bella sat down at the table. "Kat always had sob stories she'd tell my grandparents just to get money from them. Her husband, James, is a bum; doesn't work half the time. They live in a tiny three bedroom, single wide trailer in a trashy trailer park off lower Buckeye."

"How old are her kids?" I took my seat across from her and picked up my fork.

"She has two girls and a boy. Audrey is fifteen. I'm surprised she hasn't ran away or gotten pregnant yet. Then there's Jared who's six and Madison is three."

I took a huge bite of my salad and chewed before asking. "Does your aunt work?"

"Who knows." Bella took a bite and sighed as she chewed for a minute. "She can't keep a job because of her piece of shit husband."

I took a few more bites before I spoke again. "Since we're sort of on the subject of money. I have something to tell you.

"Oh, lord. You bought something that's going to drain our life savings."

I laughed at her. "No, nothing like that." I put my fork down. "I didn't not tell you intentionally. It just never crossed my mind because the subject never came up. Plus, we haven't exactly started sharing accounts."

"Okay, do you want to share accounts? Because I really don't have a problem with it."

"I'm not worried about that. I just thought that maybe you should know that I have a substantial amount of money in my bank account."

Bella looked at me funny. "So do I. What's the big deal?"

"What's a substantial amount to you?" She had me confused.

She finished chewing. "I have a little over a hundred grand saved up. Since I don't have a car payment or a house payment, I've been able to stash some money away."

I nearly choked on my food because I seriously didn't expect for her to have that much. Then I gave her a guilty smile. "I have nearly forty times that."

Bella really did choke on her food. "What?!" She was coughing, so I jumped up to make sure she wasn't going to fall over. "You okay?"

Her eyes were wide when they landed on me. "Forty times?"

"Um...yes. It's from my dad's life insurance and social security when he died."

She gave me a dumbfounded look. "Your mom didn't use any of it?"

"No. She got her own part of the settlement. I got mine when I turned 25, and all it does it collect interest."

"Wow," she said. "Is now too soon to let you know that I need a new car?"

I laughed at my wife as I wrapped my arms around her. "We'll go car shopping this weekend."

Ben woke up one more time before we were ready to climb into bed. "I thought I'd let you know that since I'm four days post my first period after Ben, and I had my check-up today that I decided to get the shot and I'm more than ready and very much protected from your very viable sperm."

She said that so fast that I was surprised that I heard a word she said, but it was loud and clear that my wife was ready to get her world rocked.

I took two long strides over to her, picked her up and pressed her against the closet wall. Her legs went around me as our mouths melded together. I couldn't wait to be inside of her. Fucking her ass was no where near the feeling of her hot, slick heaven.

"I need you naked, right now."

As soon as I set her on her feet, we started tearing at each others clothes. My wife, even post pregnancy, has the sexiest body that I've ever seen. None of my past escapades compare to her. "You're so fucking sexy." I reached out and slipped my hand between her legs. My fingers found exactly what I was in search of. She was slick and ready for me. Her clit was swollen and ready for attention as I swiped the tips of my fingers over it.

"Mason, please don't make me wait. I'll bend over right here if I have to." She wrapped her hands around my wrist and tried to push it further down.

I gave her a devilish smile. "Ask and you shall receive." I removed my hand, licked my fingers before I pushed her out of the closet and onto our bed. She moved towards the headboard, raised her legs and spread them open wide. There was no hesitation on my part as I climbed on the bed and found purchase between her legs.

I swiped the head of my cock along her slippery slit. "You sure you're ready?"

My wife reached down, gripped my cock to guide me where she wanted me. "Now," she demanded.

I paused with my dick nestled just outside of her opening. As I eased inside of her, I had to stop to keep from cumming too prematurely. I took a few deep breaths and waited a minute before I couldn't hold back any longer. The best feeling in the world washed over me the moment I was completely inside of her. So, I started out slow, and watched as my dick slid in and out with ease. My skin glistened with her arousal the more I stroked the in and out of her.

"I've missed this," she says with a groan.

I pushed in until my pelvis was flush with hers. "Me, too." I gave my hips a little more pressure, causing her to flinch and try to get away from me. She didn't tell me to stop, so I kept going and sped up my thrusting and slammed into her harder.

The beautiful sounds of our skin slapping together and Bella's high pitched moans, was music to my ears.

I was pounding into her so hard that the headboard was smacking against the wall. I didn't care who heard until my cock slipped out, so I took advantage of the moment and tapped her clit with the head of my dick. That drove her nuts. "Turn over and stick that sexy ass in the air for me."

I stroked myself, coating the palm of my hand with her slippery juices, and as soon as her ass was in the air, I spread her cheeks and dove right in. I needed her taste on my tongue before I pushed back inside of her and reveled in the feeling of her walls pulsing around me with pleasure. "You're so fucking delicious." I ground myself against her. "I'm about to cum, baby."

"Yes," she growled.

I reached around her hip and found her tiny rosebud. I wanted my wife to cum when I did, and I knew the only way she could get there quicker, was to press her little button.

It took about a minute before her walls began to pulse around me which triggered my release. The growl that flowed from my lungs wasn't preventable. I felt like I came so much that if we were trying for another baby, she would definitely get pregnant, again.

Just as I was pulling out, Ben's cry was heard over the monitor.

*~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*2 weeks later*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~*

"He's going to be fine." I was trying to convince Bella that Ben was going to be okay away from her for four hours. She was going back to work starting at four hours a day until she, and Ben got used to being with my aunt Vicky. I wasn't sure how she was going to get through it, but I knew she could because I had to when I returned to work.

"I know," she cried. "It's so hard to believe that he's almost three months old. I'm afraid we're going to miss so much."

I raised my brows in wonder. "You could be a stay-at-home mom if you wanted to. My salary is more than enough to pay the bills."

"No," she shook her head. "I love my job. I've only been there for three years. The Cullens are like family to me, and I'd feel like I was letting them down if I quit. They just promoted me. All three of them teach me so much just about every day."

I wrapped my arms around her. "I know they do, plus we have the privilege of Emmett being Ben's doctor."

"He's so great with kids. Leah says she's going to start taking Paul to him, and the new baby once he's born."

"They're having another boy?" I kissed the top of her head.

She shrugged. "I'm just guessing. As big as she is, I wouldn't be surprised if they're having twins."

"That would be..." I shrugged, mimicking my wife's previous gesture. "Good, I guess."

"They just want a healthy baby like any other expectant parents."

I watched as she slipped on her sneakers. "Understandable."

When Bella was ready, we packed up Ben's diaper bag, and the travel cooler with his breast milk for the day. She planned to pump a few times while she's at work.

I was going into work late so we could drop Ben off with my aunt Vicky. I needed to be there with my wife to keep her separation anxiety at bay. I knew it wouldn't help, but it was worth the try.

My wife was a crying mess when we stepped foot outside of my aunt and uncle's house. It took us fifteen minutes before we actually pulled away from the curb; she went her way, and I went mine. She looked so damn cute in her brand-new SUV that we picked out the weekend before. She wanted a KIA Sorento, but as soon as she saw the Telluride, her mind was made up immediately, and that's what she drove off the lot brand new.

When I finally made it to work, I wanted to get back in my truck and leave. Sitting outside the entrance was Kathryn. I was pretty sure my uncle told her she couldn't wait on me, but she did anyway. "You shouldn't be here." I stood a good six or seven feet away from her and when she stepped out, she was wearing really short shorts and a baggy t-shirt. You could clearly tell that she wasn't wearing a bra. "I wanted to apologize for my behavior."

"No need to apologize. You just need to stay away from here and me."

"We're family, though." She pulled her sunglasses off and I noticed her right eye was really puffy and blackened. "Family should always stick together."

"Well," I shrugged and smiled sarcastically as I sucked air through my teeth. "My wife has filled me in on what kind of family you are."

She made pouty lips as she walked towards me. "I can be anything you want me to be."

"Oh, how original." I took two steps back. "You need to back off."

She crossed her arms over her chest. "I need help," she started. "James insists that I meet with you."

"Why?" I was completely confused.

"My parents have pretty much disowned me, my sisters barely talk to me, and my husband is a demanding, deadbeat, so it's up to me to take care of my kids."

"You're not making any sense. Why me?"

She stepped closer. "You're new to the family."

"And?" I stressed.

"Now that I've met you, per James' demand, I thought maybe you'd have a bigger heart than the rest of my family."

I closed my eyes and shook my head. "Listen," I pointed at her. "You're a con-artist and unfortunate for you, there's no way in hell I'm helping you with anything. I wouldn't even help you cross the street."

She made a gesture towards her eye. "See what he did to me? I tried to refuse to do what he told me to do, again, and he knocked the hell out of me. I'd rather not get hit."

"This would sound horrible to someone that has no clue that you're a career thief, but it's your own fault. You're the one who stays; you're the one who puts yourself and your kids in that situation."

"Don't you think I know that already? I need help getting away from him. I've tried to leave, and he always finds me and promises that he's changed." She actually had tears in her eyes. "No one else in my family will help. I mean it this time."

I shook my head. "I can't just help you. I need to talk to my wife about this."

"She'll never agree; she hates me. You can't tell her." She stepped closer. "Please? I'm afraid he'll actually kill me or one of the kids this time."

I put my hands up. "You need to leave." Then I turned to walk towards the shop, and she grabbed my arm. "You need to take your hand off of me."

She squeezed my arm. "Please, Edward."

I jerked my arm away from her. "You have two minutes before I call the police."

"Please? I know you don't know me well enough, but I promise you won't regret helping me get my kids away from James." She put her hands up in front to appear like she's praying. "Please? I'll do anything for you, and I mean anything."

"You're sick." I started walking away.

"You have to help me. I'll tell Bella we fucked in the back seat of my car," she yelled out to me.

I waved over my shoulder. "Go ahead."

I couldn't get away from her fast enough. My uncle was standing in the doorway when I walked up. "That was quite the show."

I rolled my eyes. "She's just trying to get money out of me." Then I chuckled. "Bella said she even tried getting money out of her mom's boyfriend and succeeded with a few grand."

"Speaking of Bella, how'd she do this morning?" He poured more coffee into his mug. "Vic said she seemed okay."

"It took fifteen minutes once we were outside to even get her in the car." I took a sip of my coffee. "How did you guys do when you left Jack for the first time?"

Jack is my uncle Al and aunt Vicky's only child. He's away at college on a scholarship at Stanford for Mechanical Engineering. He's working towards being a part of the millions of professionals that design new cars. Al and Vicky couldn't be anymore happier and prouder of themselves for raising such a smart kid. I was a little jealous, but I'm happy and content with my career choice.

"I think it was more me that flipped my lid about leaving him with your Nan and Poppy." He took a sip of his coffee. "You seem okay."

"I'm fine," I admitted. "I miss him and Bella while I'm gone all day, but I don't let it consume me."

"Vic can bring him over here if you want her to. I'm sure she wouldn't mind." He took his seat behind his desk. "I can ask her to bring us some lunch."

Food did sound good as my stomach growled. "That sounds great."

A few hours later, Aunt Vicky showed up with Jack N' the Box for us. I wasn't picky, at all, when it came to their food; I love all of it.

I ate as I sat next to Ben in his car seat. He watched every time I raised my hands to my mouth. "You can't have any, buddy." I took a draw on my straw as he watched that, too. "No soda, either."

The rest of my workday was fairly stress free. When I walked through the front door at home, later that evening, Ben was screaming at the top of his lungs, so I washed my hands really good and took my work shirt off before I went in search of my screaming son. He was in his crib down at one end. His poor face was bright red, and he had actual tears spilling out. "Hey, buddy, what's wrong?" I picked him up and gave him kisses on his open, screaming mouth. He quieted for a moment when he thought I was feeding him something. "Where's mommy?"

"I'm right here." I heard from behind me. She had scrub pants on, no shoes, and only wearing a bra up top. "He spit up all over my shirt, so I had to go get another one."

I stepped over to my disgruntled wife. "Is he sick?" Then kissed her.

"No. He ate too fast, and when I raised him up to burp him, that's when he ralphed all over me."

"How long have you been home?" I watched as she pulled a t-shirt over her luscious tits.

She sat in the rocker and reached for Ben. Her t-shirt was pulled up and her left tit was out to nurse our son. Her nipple was in his mouth a moment later as he greedily sucked his dinner from his mother. "We've been home about two hours." She started rocking and laid her head back on the headrest. "I was waiting to shower until he was asleep, or you got home."

"How about you get him settled, order some dinner then we can shower together?" I bent over to kiss her forehead. "I'll be glad to massage my wife all over later, if that will help."

She turned her face up so her lips were easily accessible. "I'd love for my husband to massage me." I pressed my lips to hers as she talked more. "I can massage my husband, too, if he'd like."

"Mmmm..." I hummed against her mouth and urged her mouth open so I could assault her tongue.

We made out like two horny teenagers while Ben sucked away at her tit. She was first to pull away. "Go order food, please. We can finish this in the shower."

Two hours later, Ben was out for the night, our dinner was delivered and eaten. The shower was our next destination.

You would never know my wife was a virgin when I first met her. "I realized something the other day." I had my arms wrapped around her from behind as I massaged her breasts with her body wash. My cock was nestled firmly against her back as I ground it over her skin.

"Mmm...what's that?" She asked as her head came to rest on my shoulder, exposing her neck to me. Her hands were on top of mine as I plucked at her nipples.

I gave her neck a kiss and a small suck. "It's been a little over a year since we met."

She turned in my arms and looked up at me. "Has it really already been a year?" She put her hands on my chest.

I nodded and smiled. "If you remember correctly, that was the first night we slept together." I rubbed my dick over her stomach. "And if I remember correctly, it was the first night you tried to molest me."

I watched as she smiled, looked at my chest and traced her fingertips through my sparse chest hairs. "And you were such a gentleman. You didn't take advantage of my drunken state and steal my cherry pie."

"Mmm...your cherry pit was definitely one of the best decisions I ever made. Waiting to have the best pussy of my life was worth the wait."

"You only married me for my pussy." She reached down and wrapped her fingers around my hardened shaft. "But that's okay because I only married you for your giant cock."

I pushed into her hand. "I wouldn't call it giant; maybe big."

"My crotch begs to differ." She dropped to her knees in front of me and took the head of my dick into her mouth and sucked it a few times before releasing it with a pop "It's so big that I can barely fit it in my mouth."

I lifted her from her knees and turned her around, bent her over to hold on to the safety bar. "You just have a small mouth."

I didn't waste any time slipping into her slick entrance and loving every second of being inside her.

Thank you!
