Natasha's Awakening (57 page)

“Not you too Mum. I know, I should have listened to Eric. I could have harmed our babies. Don’t worry, I’ve heard his lecture already, you don’t need to start on me too Mum. My head hurts so please, no telling me off, ok?”

“You were very lucky baby girl that you got out of this with only mild concussion as it could have been so much worse.”

Natasha groaned. “You said you wouldn’t lecture me Mum, so don’t slide a sly one in.” She warned.

Eric came over to the bed with Alice and Natasha listened to her expressing her relief that Natasha and the babies were fine. Both Natasha’s Mother and Alice began to talk about her like she wasn’t lying in bed right near them both and her eyes met Eric’s, amusement dancing in their blue depths. “Ok ladies, I think Natasha’s been lectured enough for one day and besides I’m sure she’s in need of some rest.” He told them.

She frowned at him slightly since he was going to hustle her Mother and Alice out of the room again before they’d shared their news but Eric winked at her and reached for her hand. He kissed her palm before carefully turning her hand over so the diamonds sparkled despite the dim lighting from all the drawn blinds and he and Natasha exchanged grins when her Mother was the first one to spot the ring.

“Is that what I think it is?” She shrieked and Natasha cringed, putting her hand up to her head and Kathryn pulled a face. “Oh sorry baby girl.” She said softly. “Now is that what I think it is?” Both Natasha and Eric nodded, before their eyes met and he dropped his head to kiss her. He slipped his tongue out slyly and traced her bottom lip, being careful to make sure her Mother didn’t see before lifting his head again. “Oh my god.” Kathryn squealed. “My baby girl’s engaged.” She hugged Eric, bent to hug Natasha who squeaked when her Mother squeezed her too tight which caused Kathryn to apologize again and then she hugged Alice. Everyone was hugging one another, everyone was happy for them but no one could have been happier than Natasha right now, but all the excitement was getting to her, she so badly needed to sleep. She yawned, blinking to try and keep the fatigue at bay long enough not to spoil her Mother’s excitement. She knew if Eric saw how tired she was suddenly feeling he’d chase her Mother and Alice from the room to make sure she got some rest.

When she looked up at him, he was watching her with a frown on his face. “Baby you need to rest, I think it’s time we all left you to sleep.” Eric said.

“Yes baby girl, we’ll all get out of your hair now and you sleep.” Her Mother said. “I’ll see you when you wake up.”

Natasha looked at her Mother in surprise. “You’re not going home?” She asked.

“No, Eric’s invited me for dinner, so I’ll be here for a while yet.” Kathryn bent to kiss her daughter. “I’ll leave you now sweetie. You sleep.” And she bustled out of the room. Alice followed her and it was just Natasha and Eric.

“I’ll leave you too baby so you can sleep.” Eric dropped a gentle kiss on her cheek. “I love you.” He grinned, “See, I can say it.”

Natasha smiled sleepily. “Stay with me until I fall asleep, please Eric.” She grabbed his hand.

“Alright baby.” He said, climbing carefully on the bed so he wouldn’t cause her any pain. Gently he wrapped an arm around her and pressed his lips against her neck. With him murmuring softly in her ear about how much he loved her, how perfect she was, Natasha slowly drifted off to sleep.

                                                                           Chapter 25.

Over the next couple of months Natasha with her Mother’s help started planning the wedding. She had recovered well after her fall on the stairs and both Natasha and Eric decided they didn’t want to wait until their babies were born before they got married, although that would mean her looking very obviously pregnant in her wedding dress.

“So are you going to want the big Fairy Tale wedding baby?” Eric asked her one morning as they lay in bed after having just made love. He held her in his arms, one hand rubbing gently over her distended stomach. Their babies were growing fast and Eric had taken Natasha shopping for a whole new wardrobe since nothing fitted her anymore.

“You know, once upon a time, I would have said yes, but not anymore Eric. I just want to marry you, it doesn’t need to be some big production number, I simply want to say ‘I do’ and spend the rest of my life with you as Mrs Rothman.” She said, placing her hand over Eric’s.

“I can’t wait to start calling you Mrs Rothman.” He said, his lips touching her neck. “You must have some ideas on what you want baby. Whatever you want you can have. This wedding can be as big or as small as you want. Seeing you happy is all I care about.”

Natasha smiled. “Knowing you love me is all I need to be happy.” She said. “You know what I really want? I want just friends and family at our wedding but what I’d love more than anything is for us to marry here. I love this house, I think out on the terrace with the harbour behind us would be perfect. I guess it depends on who you want at our wedding. You probably have to include business associates, don’t you?” She asked.

“Not really baby but I would want Alex to come and Samantha. I don’t think you’ll mind if your replacement PA is there and Sam and her husband should be there. She helped choose the ring after all.” He said, his finger tracing over the diamond ring that sent a thrill through her every time she looked at it.

“Of course they should be there Eric. Samantha in her own little way helped bring us together. I don’t have many people I want at our wedding. My Mother of course plus Maggie and Thomas, Alice has to be there. It’s almost embarrassing to admit but I don’t have any friends to invite. When I started working for you, my job absorbed so much of my time, I had no social life anymore, not that I regret that and when I moved to the Central Coast, I kind of cut myself off to everyone except my Mum.” Natasha admitted.

Eric frowned at her words. “God baby, so because of me, you had no life outside of work? I was a selfish bastard I know. I kept you in the office for such long hours and more times than not too. I’m sorry.” He kissed her.

Natasha reached out to cup his cheek. “It’s not your fault Eric. I loved my job and I guess being an only child made me grow up happy with my own company. I’ve never really been a party girl or one for going to the clubs so don’t feel like it was your fault. I’m the one who chose to live the way I did, not because you kept me at the office all the time. I’m just kind of boring I guess.” She joked,trying to reassure him.

Eric snorted. “Baby, boring is one word I’d never use to describe you.”

“So when is this wedding of the century going to take place?” Natasha asked, wanting to get Eric off thinking he was some sort of hard task master who had denied her a social life. “Preferably before I get so big I’ll be able to roll down the aisle.” She joked.

Eric’s eyes were warm, their blue so intense as he looked at her. “The sooner the better baby. I can’t wait to carry you over the threshold. Which of course leads to the next question. Where are we going to go for our honeymoon?”

Natasha couldn’t help laughing as images of him trying to carry her over the threshold filled her mind. “You can’t carry me Eric. It will be like trying to carry a whale. I don’t want to be responsible for damaging your back. You need your back for other things.” She said, giving him a cheeky grin.

Eric’s eyes heated. “Oh my back’s strong baby. Anyway, these days, you’re the one who has to do all the work. These two.” He said, rubbing her swollen stomach again. “They kind of get in the way now.”

Again Natasha laughed. “True but then the doctor said I need to get gentle exercise. I wonder if making love would be considered gentle exercise?”

Eric grinned. “The way you were riding me earlier baby, I’m not sure if that’s quite what the doctor had in mind when he said gentle exercise.” Bursting out laughing when Natasha hit him on his arm.

“I didn’t hear you complaining.” She said and Eric’s eyes were brimming with amusement when he turned to her.

“That’s because I couldn’t move baby. You had me pinned under you completely at your mercy.”

Natasha pulled herself up until she was kneeling alongside Eric. She poked her finger into his chest, mock indignation flashing in her eyes. “If you don’t watch it Mr, I’ll pin you down again and have my way with you.”

Eric’s eyes heated, desire burning in their depths. “Yeah baby? Promises, promises.” He said huskily.

Natasha felt an answering pull low down in her belly. “You talk the talk but can you walk the walk?” She asked, slowly sliding her hand down his chest, before one finger traced the narrow trail of hair that disappeared under the sheets.

She watched the sheet rising over Eric’s growing erection and she slowly pushed it down with her finger as she followed the hair on his stomach. Natasha pulled the sheet away and his shaft strained up towards her. “Hmm, seems you can talk the talk.” She whispered, bending to circle the head of his penis with her tongue, smiling with satisfaction when it jerked in response. “Now lets see if you can walk the walk.” Carefully she straddled his hips, positioning her wet entrance just above his eager shaft.

Slowly she lowered herself gasping as he filled her inch by inch, her delicate tissues parting and opening as she drew him deep into her body. Once he was buried in her as far as he could go, the head of his penis pressed up against her cervix, Natasha sat there for a moment, as her body adjusted to the feel of him impaling her.

She looked down at Eric to find him watching her, his eyes partially closed a small smile on his lips. He reached out and his hands spread over her swollen stomach, running his palms over the tight skin which stretched to accommodate their babies as they grew inside her. He moved up until he got to her breasts, cupping them, testing the weight of them, the way they had increased in size during Natasha’s pregnancy before running his thumbs over her nipples, then pinching them, watching as they swelled and puckered under his touch. He pinched them again, tugging on them gently until they were hard peaks. Pleasure radiated out from her engorged nipples, the feeling pulled deep inside her, and her inner muscles twitched and tightened around Eric, causing his penis to jerk inside her in response, as she closed around him.

Bracing her hands on his stomach, slowly Natasha began to move, lifting herself up until just the head of Eric’s penis was inside her, then lowered herself again, rotating her hips so he pressed against different parts of her inner walls.

She continued with the slow, unhurried pace watching his face as she moved, his eyes burning with his arousal, lips parted slightly. Gradually she began to increase her pace, her eyes still focused on Eric’s. As she watched he started to pant, colour rising in his cheeks as his arousal began to consume him. He slipped a finger between their bodies, rubbing it over her clitoris, making Natasha gasp. She moved faster and as she began to ride him harder, her breasts bouncing with her movements, Eric’s finger worked faster and faster over her swollen nub, smearing the juices around her clitoris that wetted her folds, and that coated his hard length that was buried inside her.

The pressure kept building up and up in her and as she began to gasp and moan, he worked his finger faster over her swollen clitoris until with a high keening cry her orgasm hit her, exploding through her body. She bucked wildly over Eric a few more times, her body racked with tremors and her inner muscles clamped and clenched around him until with a deep groan Natasha felt Eric’s release pump into her.

He rolled them onto their sides since Natasha’s stomach was too big for her to lie over his chest as she once would have. They were still joined together and Eric’s arms closed around her holding her close until their breathing gradually returned to normal. “We never finished working out the wedding details.” He murmured and Natasha smiled lazily.

“Well if you weren’t so damned sexy I wouldn’t keep wanting to take advantage of you.” She joked.

Eric gave her his slow sexy smile. “You can take advantage of me anytime you want to baby.”

Natasha laughed. “You are so easy.” She teased.

“You’d better believe it baby, but only for you. I’ll only ever be easy for you.” He touched his lips to hers, tracing the outline of her lips with his tongue. “I love you baby. You’re my life, nothing else matters besides you and these two.” His hand curved over her belly.

                                                             …………………………………………………………

The date for Eric and Natasha’s wedding was set for October 19
. Natasha’s Mother had driven her to numerous bridal shops since Eric’s only request was that she wear a proper wedding dress although she wondered why when a white wedding dress on a woman who would be almost eight months pregnant by then, did seem like a bit of a contradiction. “I’d be better off in a camping shop Eric. A tent will fit me.” She wailed as she looked at her huge belly in the mirror one day.

“Well even if you did wear a tent, you’d look beautiful baby.” Eric said, his arms coming around her from behind, closing over her stomach.

“How can you possibly think I’m beautiful Eric, look at me. I don’t walk anymore, I waddle, my feet keep swelling, I’m about as graceful as a sheep on its back when I try to get up off the lounge, I haven’t seen my feet in a long time except in the mirror so how could you possibly ever find me sexy when my breasts now sit on my stomach?” She cried.

Eric pressed his thighs up against Natasha’s back, thrusting his hips forward. “Does that feel like a man who doesn’t find you sexy baby?” He asked and Natasha felt his hard shaft pressing against her buttocks. Instantly she melted, her insides fluttering in response. She groaned softly pushing back against his erection. “We can’t baby. I have to go to work and your Mother’s going to be here soon to pick you up. I’m going to have to walk around hard for you all day now.” Eric kissed her neck. “Tonight baby, if you’re not too tired after shopping today, I’m going to show you just how sexy I think you are, even when your body is swollen with my children sweetheart.” He stepped away from her and Natasha felt the loss of his presence as soon as he was gone from behind her. “Stop worrying baby. You’ll look stunning no matter what you wear and no matter how pregnant you are.”
