Bring Me To Life

This love

Ben's Perspective

Friday Afternoon

The gentle hush of midday filled our home as the babies peacefully slumbered. I embarked on a mission to locate Jenn, and eventually found her in our office, lost in the world of online home decor.

"Hello, beautiful," I greeted her, crossing the room to her desk.

"Hi, papi," Jenn replied, her voice a soft whisper, her eyes fixed on the screen, captivated by various design possibilities.

Curiosity piqued, I asked, "What's catching your attention?"

I began massaging her shoulders, adding a layer of affection to our conversation.

"I'm exploring home decor ideas for the kids' rooms," she explained, her gaze still locked on the virtual designs. "Violet's room is the tricky one. She's a senior, and come next June, she'll be off to the University of Vermont to study nursing."

A sigh escaped Jenn's lips, and her eyes glistened with emotion."I understand, babe," I murmured. Kneeling beside her, I turned the chair to face me.Jenn contemplated our plans as she spoke, "Yes, we're moving to Georgia before Christmas. We'll leave some of our belongings here, of course, since we already have everything in Georgia. Just bring the kids' electronics and a few pieces of furniture."

I asked further, "So, are we planning to sell the house and move everything there?"

"No," Jenn answered, "we'll keep this house since we'll still travel between Georgia and LA from time to time."

She reached out, running her fingers through my hair, and gently caressed my cheek. I nodded in agreement and planted a soft kiss on her lips.

Being in Georgia, I pointed out, would mean more time with our families, the ability to explore Boston, Florida, and New York at our leisure. The idea of spending holidays with our extended families was appealing.

Jenn nodded in agreement as she leaned back in the chair, her hand caressing my chest. She gazed into my eyes and bit her lip playfully, a mischievous sparkle in her eye.

"You're so captivating when you speak passionately about something," she remarked.I couldn't help but smirk as I slowly scanned her form. "And you claim I'm the one with an insatiable appetite," I teased. "I recognize that look."

Jenn nodded, then leaned in for a kiss. Our lips met, and I softly caressed her sides. She attempted to unbutton my shirt, but I gently stopped her, reminding her of our physical limitations.

"Remember, babe, four more months. I don't want to risk hurting you," I said.Jenn sighed, rolling her eyes. "Fine," she relented.I decided to check her healing progress and, with care, made her lie back. I lifted her shirt slightly and lowered her sweatpants, revealing her stitches. Retrieving a fresh waterproof bandage from the drawer, I carefully replaced the one she had on.

"Now, can I, um, hold it?" Jenn inquired.

I chuckled softly and shook my head. "No, baby, patience," I replied.

Jenn pouted playfully. "Can I at least touch it?"

"Jenn," I chuckled, enjoying her lightheartedness.She pouted once more but eventually bit my arm in a playful manner while hugging me tightly. I held her close, gently rubbing her back.

"Do you still love me?" Jenn asked, her voice tinged with vulnerability.

"Of course, always," I reassured her, maintaining the embrace.

"Just checking. I don't want you getting physical with anyone else," Jenn mumbled, her head resting against my chest.

I gazed into her eyes and reaffirmed, "I only want you, my beautiful, sexy, gorgeous wife."Surprised, Jenn pulled away from our hug and looked at me, her confusion evident as she playfully tugged at her tummy.

"Hell, yes," I declared. "Every inch of you is incredibly sexy and perfect."

I caressed her tummy, then pulled her close again, whispering into her ear, "I fell in love with a sexy woman who is now the mother of our kids. You're smoking hot, truly smoking hot. Your smile is gorgeous, your personality is a 10/10. You're perfect to me, and..."

My voice took on a low, raspy tone as I whispered further, gripping her breasts beneath her shirt and teasing her nipples. Jenn moaned softly, and her lips parted, a look of desire in her eyes.

"You drive me wild," she whimpered as I took both of her breasts into my mouth, sucking on her nipples fervently while she watched, her eyes locked onto mine. I moved my hands to squeeze her ass.

"Oh, God," Jenn moaned softly, entranced by my actions. She gasped, "Please, something, daddy..."

Her plea drove me to continue. I kissed her neck, leaving a passionate mark on her skin.

"Ah, I want more of you, need you inside me," Jenn hissed, her desire palpable.

I couldn't oblige her, reminding her, "No sex, only kisses."

With reluctance, I left the room, leaving Jenn visibly frustrated as she put her shirt back on.
