He gulped. “I hope I survive.” He watched me through heavily lidded eyes.
I sat up and smoothed my hands over his chest. I followed a path down to his ribs and then back up to his nipples. I leaned over him and licked his nipples with my tongue. I felt him quiver.
I slowly moved my hands back down to his ribs, followed by my lips. Reaching his swollen penis, I wrapped my hand around him and slowly massaged up and down, enjoying the texture of his length. I rubbed my thumb around the slit, where he was leaking, and watched as he arched off the bed in obvious pleasure. I wanted to tease more so I leaned over and swirled my tongue around the flared head. He groaned.
Loving the power I had over him, I licked him from root to tip.
“Enough, you have got to stop,” he said, rising from the bed. He moved over me, caressing my face with his hands while he slipped his penis inside my quivering core.
He slammed his lips down onto mine and slipped his tongue into my mouth as he started moving his hips in a slow, seductive rhythm. He started to nibble my neck, moving further south. He took one breast into his mouth then moved to the other one. He started to speed up his movement with his hips.
My climax burst, seeing stars I lunged against Jacob, who started to groan as his penis jerked inside me.
Breathing heavily, still joined, he wrapped his arm around my waist and rolled onto his side.
“I love you so much, Rose,” he whispered, as he slipped out from my body.
“I love you just as much . . . I have something to tell you, and I hope you’ll be as happy as I am.”
Jacob turned to me and must have seen the hesitation in my eyes. “You can tell me anything, Rose.”
I looked into his eyes and told him, “I think I’m pregnant.”
He froze beside me, and then turned away.
I could feel my eyes filling with tears as I watched him shut me out.
“Jacob?”
He sighed, sitting up on the side of the bed with his back to me. I watched him put his head in his hands.
I couldn’t stay. I needed to leave. Sitting up, I started to climb from the bed in tears, when Jacob caught hold of my wrist, pulling me back down and into his arms.
“I’m sorry, Rose. I wasn’t expecting you to say that. It was a shock.” He gradually started to smile, which spread across his face. “Rose, not only have you given me your love, but you’ve given me the most amazing gift . . . a child. I promise, I will always love you, and provide for you and our child . . . for our children.”
He stroked my stomach tenderly. I watched him with silent tears cascading down my face. I was so happy with Jacob, my Jacob.
“Let’s leave tonight,” he said so seriously.
“We can’t. I’m not ready tonight, but I will be on Monday.”
He pulled me against his chest. “I just want you with me.”
“I want that as well. It’s only three more days.” I kissed him.
He made love to me once more, then we dressed and he walked me home. I hated parting from him. I just wanted to stay wrapped in his arms.
April 12, 1947
Richard was sneaking around…
I was so sick this morning that I could barely move. There could be no mistake. I was pregnant. I found myself unable to wipe the smile from my face. I was so happy, and my new life with Jacob was just two days away.
At work, I found myself humming while I placed returned books back onto the shelves. I got some weird looks from my colleagues, but I didn’t really care.
Richard walked into the library and just stared at me. Until the other day, I didn’t ever remember him coming in before. He actually made me feel uncomfortable. If I didn’t know better, I’d say he was up to something. I prayed it didn’t involve me, but I couldn’t think of any other reason for his behavior. I just had a really bad feeling.
Dinner tonight was, yet again, a rather quiet affair as JT had been grounded again! He had been caught pinching an apple pie from Mrs. Jenkins next door. Apparently, she had left the pie by the window to cool, and JT and his friend, Levi, had taken it, hoping she would think it was a dog. Then she had caught them taking the plate back!
