Chapter 16 - 16

When Rachel arrived home she had a visitor waiting. Sean had made it back from Charleston in the rental, which he returned to the airport, picking up his own vehicle from airport parking where he'd left it before leaving for Chicago. He'd gone home to change and stopped in at Total Body to check in with Jared before heading to Rachel's to see her. He'd been waiting for over an hour for her when he saw her garage door open signaling her arrival home. Sean waited patiently until she drove into the garage before exiting his car and walking the drive to wait for Rachel to exit her SUV.

Rachel saw him as she pulled up to her home and was reluctant to talk with Sean. This was the first time she'd seen him since she'd found out she was pregnant and she wasn't sure she could handle seeing him without wanting to be in his arms. Taking a deep breath she opened the door and got out of the car. Sean was waiting patiently outside the vehicle when she closed the door.

"Hey Babe, how are you doing," Sean asked.

Turning toward Sean and looking up into his eyes, Rachel answered, "Hello, Sean, I'm fine," then turned to lock the car, close the garage door, and moved to the door to enter her home.

"Would you like to come in?" she asked Sean quietly.

"Yes, I'd like that. We need to talk," Sean answered.

"Ok, come on in," she said opening the door and disarming the alarm before moving further into the kitchen turning on lights as she made her way to the family room.

"Would you like something to eat or drink," Rachel asked as she moved over to the fireplace to start the fire and warm the room up. Over at the bar Rachel opened the mini fridge and pulled out a bottle of apple juice, "Would you like a beer or something," she asked Sean.

"No thank you, Rachel. Will you please come over here and sit down so we can talk?" Sean requested.

With juice in hand, Rachel walked over to the sofa and took a seat across from him.

"Babe, do you have to sit so far away? I missed you, you know? Can I at least get a kiss? I'll even settle for a hug if that's too much for you," Sean found himself almost willing to beg for Rachel's touch.

"I don't think that would be a wise right now Sean. I…just say what you have to say will you," Rachel responded.

'Ok, not the response I was hoping for. Lord I have a lot to make up for, help me say the right thing here because I don't want to lose this woman or the baby she is carrying,' Sean silently prayed.

"Rachel, I have been over and over this thing between us in my head and it makes no sense. No, wait before you say anything hear me out. I was so freaked out by our last conversation; I had to go home to South Carolina to sort this thing out. After a long talk with my Mom and a few of weeks of soul-searching and prayer; then an almost five hour drive with no one but me for company, I came to the realization that you mean the world to me. Rachel, I love you and our baby, and I want us to be a family. Not just because you are carrying my son or daughter under your heart, but because I can't live without you in my life. I know we have barely had the time to get to know each other in the normal way, but we know each other baby. I knew you the first time I held you in my arms right here in this room. I have never been able to open up to anyone as I have with you. You and I are like two halves of a whole and when we aren't together I have this feeling like something truly important is missing from my life," Sean said opening up his heart.

Before Rachel could respond Sean reached into his pocket and slid off the sofa getting down on one knee he opened his hand to reveal a small black velvet jewelers box.

Opening the box to reveal a four-carat pear shaped diamond engagement ring, Sean asked, "Rachel, I love you, when you hold me, I feel like I'm home. I am calm and at peace with you in my arms, please marry me and make me whole again."

Rachel couldn't believe what Sean was saying. 'OMG! Am I dreaming,' she thought. Then the tears started pouring from her eyes before she cupped Sean's face in the palms of her hands pulled him in for a kiss.

"Oh, Sean, I love you too," Rachel admitted reluctantly. "I didn't want to love anyone again Sean, love hurts too much when the person you love leaves you. I wasn't going to risk experiencing the loss again. That's why I tried pushing you away, but I realized that I couldn't stop my heart from feeling love for you. I missed you so much, Sean, when I found out I was carrying your baby I was so confused about everything. I had all these emotions hitting me at once and all I really wanted was for you to tell me you loved me, that everything would be alright, and hold me in your arms. But Sean, marriage, this soon, we've only been together for a few weeks are you sure about this," Rachel asked him.

"Babe, I don't do or say anything I don't mean. I have thought about this and I know how I feel. I love you and I want you to be my wife, forever and always. So what if it has only been a few weeks. I know my heart and a wise woman told me to follow my heart. Mom has never given me any bad advice so I am asking you again, woman, will you marry me?" Sean replied.

"Yes," Rachel responded as Sean pushed the ring onto the third finger of her left hand. Making their engagement official with a kiss, and Sean unfolded from his position on the floor to reclaim his seat on the sofa next to Rachel.

"Now, that we've gotten that out of the way come here and greet your fiancée properly," Sean said before picking Rachel up and settling her in his lap straddling his hips.

Pushing his hands underneath her sweater to cup her slightly fuller breasts, "Yeah, Babe I am definitely going to enjoy you being pregnant," Sean said before unclasping her bra and baring her to his gaze. He then began to play with one nipple before lifting the other to his mouth to tease. Rachel groaned from the pleasure of feeling Sean lips and tongue toying with her sensitive breasts.

"Oh, yes, Sean, I missed you so much. I missed your hands, mouth, and tongue on my body," Rachel admitted.

"Not much as I missed you, Babe," Sean responded as he removed Rachel's bra and sweater completely baring her upper body for his pleasure.

Rachel's hands were not idle. She helped Sean unbutton and remove his own shirt before leaning forward to kiss his dimples, moving down his neck to kiss and lick his throat, nibbling at his collar bone and moving down to his chest. Rachel loved everything about Sean but his upper body and torso were to die for. She loved kissing and nibbling at his pecs Sean always made them jump when she explored him this way. Rachel loved to tease his small male nipples with her tongue sucking them as they hardened making Sean groan and writhe beneath her. Rachel felt the tail tale hardness developing underneath her spread legs the fact she was wearing a skirt and the only thing between her and Sean's erection was her thong and his jeans was an added bonus as they began to bump and grind with each other. Although Sean was enjoying everything Rachel was doing his hands were not idle. Sean delved under Rachel's skirt to palm her bare cheeks pulling Rachel down on his throbbing member and they both groaned at the contact. It had been weeks since they'd made love and they were both starving for each other.

"Babe, I missed you so much, I've dreamed of being inside you stroking until we both were satisfied. Rachel I wanted this to be slow and romantic but Babe you feel so good and it feels like it has been years since I was inside you. How about we shoot for romantic and slow the next time around. Right now I have to get inside you. I can't wait," Sean said as he tore off Rachel's thong with one hand and with Rachel's help opened his jeans enough to free his seeping shaft. The head was swollen and purple looking angry and in need of some tender loving care. Rachel bent down to take him into her mouth and Sean sudden bucking reaction almost landed Rachel on the floor but he caught her and quickly brought her back to straddle his lap. Sitting in Sean's lap with his glorious erection pointing up between them Rachel reached down to stroke him the way she knew he liked to be stroked. Only to be halted by him saying,

"Babe, I wouldn't do that if I was you," with a glance toward his pulsating erection, "he is ready to blow and I want to be buried deep inside you when that happens." With that said Sean lifted Rachel up onto her knees placing the tip of his cock in direct contact with the entrance to her drenched kitty; the space beyond that currently incubating his child. Sean hesitated as that thought hit him square in his heart his gaze moved to the place his child was now growing. All urgency left him as he gazed up into Rachel's eyes and placed one palm on the subtle swell of her womb.

"Is this alright, Rachel? I don't want to do anything to hurt our baby," Sean questioned.

Seeing the love and concern in Sean's eye's almost brought on fresh tears to Rachel and she had to pause before shaking her head and answering, "Everything is fine, Sean, making love to you won't hurt the baby. However, I'm aching for you so bad if you don't get inside me soon I might hurt you," Rachel said with a laugh before beginning her descent onto his rigid length.

Sean held on to Rachel's firmly rounded rear as she slowly impaled herself onto his throbbing rod and groaned as her warm juicy heat enveloped him until he was firmly rooted inside her depths. Rachel luxuriated in her slow descent down Sean's shaft.

"You fill me up Sean; I've never been so full. I love the way you stretch me baby," Rachel groaned. She held Sean tight as they savored their joining for the first time in weeks. Her slick wet walls gripped Sean tightly as she began to rotate her hips in a small circular motion designed to torment Sean with unbridled pleasure. Sean wanted to pull out and plunge back in but Rachel was in control of this coupling for now and she was content to draw out every ounce of pleasure she could get. Raising up until only the head of Sean's delicious shaft was inside her Rachel slid slowly back down and rotated her hips again.

"God, Baby, you're trying to kill me aren't you," Sean moaned. She was so wet and hot Sean didn't think he'd ever felt anything this wonderful before. His own hips involuntarily surged upward as he enveloped Rachel in his arms their pace beginning to speed up a notch. They were both grinding and gyrating in each other's embrace.

Rachel sucked in a breath as Sean pulled back to toy with her breasts. They were ultra-sensitive now due to the pregnancy. He bent his head and licked one nipple as he toyed with the other and she almost came undone.

"Uhhhhh, that was electric, Sean," Rachel panted. Their gentle rock and grind forgotten now as Rachel began a rhythmic bounce that had him squeezing and kneading her breasts as he devoured them in the warm tavern of his mouth. He could feel the need to detonate but he was determined to satisfy his sexy voluptuous fiancé before that happened. Their lovemaking became frenzied, as they each strove for the ultimate fulfillment of their mutual climax. Every decent Rachel made onto Sean's curved joystick put him in direct contact with her sweet spot, as Sean hips bucked upward the helmeted head surged with consistent precision into Rachel slowly driving them both wild as he triggered a squeezing frenzy within Rachel's sensuous love tunnel. Sean experienced Heaven on Earth in the depths of Rachel as he watched her enjoy their sexual healing. Her head thrown back in concentration as she bounced up and down on his shaft, milking, and squeezing him convulsively, her breast bouncing joyously with those delectable chocolate nipples pointing at him. Sean leaned forward to capture her left breast bringing the peak into the hot tavern of his mouth and began to pull and tweak the right nipple between his thumb and forefinger.

Rachel groaned as the dual stimulation of her breasts coincided with the sensation of Sean's penis Maximus surging into her over and over again. Their loving was always this way explosive, hot, wet, and satisfying. She craved Sean with a passion she'd never experienced before. Rachel never knew making love could be this powerful she felt like her body was made for this man; that his dick was the key to unlock her soul's pleasure. She loved him with a passion so intense, she never knew love could be this wonderful and she never wanted to lose the feeling. However, all good things must come to an end and Rachel could feel the rising effects of a sexual eruption that was out of this world about to explode in the depths of her sopping wet kitty. With Sean's gyrations and upward thrusts into her she ignited like a solar flare that swept Sean up in its heated trajectory.

Rachel screamed her explosive release and Sean roared only two quick thrusts behind her as her release triggered his answering response. Both were shaken to their cores from the intensity of their loving. In the aftermath, as both their bodies went through their final twitching shutters, Rachel finally released the death grip her kitty had on Sean's slowly deflating member. And it slipped out of her covered in their combined juices. Rachel sighed sinking further into Sean's embrace by laying her tired head on his shoulder in contented slumber.

Sean caressed and soothed her kissing her lips, temple, and brow. "Sleep sweetheart, rest, I'm here now and I am going to take care of you both. I love you, Rachel," Sean said softly as he stood with the now sleeping Rachel in his arms taking her to the bedroom where he undressed Rachel and cleaned away the residue of their lovemaking before joining her between the sheets. Sean felt at peace and content as he finally held his fiancé and baby in his arms. Spooning with Rachel's back to his front and his hand on the gentle swell of her stomach he fell into a deep contented sleep with a smile on his face.
