“What’s on your mind?” she asked.

Connor rubbed her belly beneath the covers.  He couldn’t believe that in just a few months he’d be a father.  There was nobody else in the world he would have shoulder the responsibility with him.

“At this point, only you,” he said.

He eased his head down and kissed her on the nape of her neck.  She quivered.

“I’ll never say stop, but I’m not sure now is the time,” she said,

Connor nibbled at her ear and she giggled from the tickle that ran down her spine. 

“There must be something we can do,” he said.

His hand rubbed the length of her back.  Her breathing quickened from the chill of his touch. 

“Cold,” she said.

He withdrew his hand but she took it and returned it to her spine.

“I like it,” she said, “don’t stop.”

He smiled.  She rolled herself to her side.  Connor lifted her shirt over her shoulders, exposing her to the cool air of the cabin.  She breathed deep and shuddered from the cold, pulling her arms in close to cover her chest.

Connor tore off his own shirt and tossed it to the side of the room.  The tiny heater struggled against the freezing temperatures, the fire started to roar inside its small fire chamber.  The room was beginning to warm.

He paced his hand along her spine.  Goosebumps rose from his touch.  She quivered with excitement at the sensation.  Her nipples hardened under her hands. 

Again, his hands ran the length of her backside.  Her tense muscles were beginning to loosen under his touch. With each pass along her back, he pushed harder.  Digging into her soft skin and attacking the sore muscles.

Tess didn’t want him to stop.  She’d been nervous for so long and didn’t realize how much her body had reflected her fears.  Having him here, right now, massaging those fears away, she allowed herself to feel at ease. 

His hands massaged lower and lower down her back, digging deep within her hips.  She felt her muscles give in to his powerful grasp and melt into the bed.

She couldn’t have moved if she tried.  Her body was so loose from his tender touch.  Part of her wished she could have returned the favor.  No doubt he was just as tense as she, and he’d just been in a fight where he’d been battered and bruised. 

His hands found her thighs and she couldn’t help the arousal she felt within herself.  Her mind wandered to the last time he’d held her thighs like that.  Their passionate love they made those months ago.  She wanted it now, but wasn’t sure if they should.

“We shouldn’t,” she said.

“I won’t,” he replied.

Still his hands urged lower down the length of her legs and his body followed along with them.  He kissed every inch of her skin that he could.

She rolled to her back as he kissed down the length of her stomach.  Her head fell back against the pillow while her muscles relaxed.

His mouth kissed further and further down her stomach until it found the soft hair on her mound.  The scent of her arousal filled the air and Connor knew it.  He gently lifted her legs and massaged the back of them. 

Each forceful motion gave her a surge of excitement.  But, nothing compared to the delicate kiss he planted on her clit.  A jolt of lightning shot up her spine from the suddenness of the sensation.

She clenched her teeth without realizing as his tongue reached out and began to draw circles around her most tender of areas.  She could feel her juice running down the sides of her leg.  He licked them from her skin and returned to his work.

The tight circles he drew sent shivers through her body, urging her to further heights of arousal.  She moaned into her arm as Connor continued.

He licked the length of her engorged sex and flicked along her clit with the tip of his tongue.  Deep within the pit of her stomach she could feel the slow rumblings of something she hadn’t allowed herself in a while.  Not since the last time she’d been with Connor.

His arms held tightly to her thighs while her hips fought to regain control.  He continued the motions with his tongue as Tess breathed heavily.  Her moans became louder in the silence of the cabin. 

Then without any warning, she felt it shoot through her body as a flood.  Her relaxed muscles suddenly tightened and her toes curled as the orgasm took over.  She arched her back and bucked her hips.  After she finally managed to loosen herself up, another small wave came again, then another. 

She quivered while Connor held her close.  A giant smile streaked across her face and she was satisfied.  Connor threw the blanket over both of them and warmed her with his own body heat.

She could feel his cock throbbing beneath his jeans and she wanted to please her man.  But, she was drained of whatever energy she may have had.  Before she realized, she’d closed her eyes and was asleep.

Connor lied silently for a while.  He loved having her small shape sprawling over him.  He listened to her as she slept until the fire burned itself out, then managed to find sleep himself, for a time.
