Displaying 1 - 30 of reviews. Review at Of Pens and Pages. This novella is adorable! After reading The Contract, I wondered what it was like for Richard and Katy when they finally started a family.
My wish came true because this story gave us a glimpse of what Richard is like as a father. Blog Facebook Twitter Instagram. I just gave a dollar to charity so I could smile for 15 minutes : I mean that's kind of a no brainier lol. Although this short novella could be read as a standalone, it really would be so much more rewarding for you if you read "The Contract" first. Then you'll truly appreciate how far Richard has come and how amazing it is that he's so in love with his wife and their new child.
I seriously smiled the entire time I read this. I really enjoyed "The Contract" and was so happy to see this chapter written about the birth of their child! I hope we can get even more see, I'm never satisfied! Leo Queen of the Rants and Spoilers. He leaned close when he muttered four hundred dollars was a bit excessive as a thank you for valet service, but I only grinned. It got me to Katy faster, and the kid probably needed it much more than I did, so I was more than okay with it. Laura came and went from the room, her quiet manner keeping us both composed.
Her aura of calmness was exactly what we needed. I bent over Katy, praising her strength and bravery. Murmuring words of encouragement. Holding her hand, stroking her forehead with cool cloths. When instructed, I moved behind her, supporting her shoulders, encouraging her to push. When our daughter came into the world with a loud wail, I swore I had never heard a sound so beautiful. My hand was shaking as they let me cut the umbilical cord. My chest constricted, tightening to an almost painful level, my entire body vibrating as they allowed me to hold our daughter for the first time.
Tufts of dark hair stuck up all around, and her eyes blinked open as she yawned, exhausted from the work of being born. For a moment, there were only her and I in the world. I stroked her tiny cheek with my finger in wonder. Bending, I kissed Katy, who was watching us with tired, happy eyes. Katy was asleep, one hand curled under her cheek as she slumbered, completely exhausted.
Graham, Laura, and Jenna left a few hours ago. Graham insisted I had to eat, and dragged me from the room, while Laura and Jenna stayed with Katy. I brought her back some cheese, crackers, and fruit, which she nibbled at while we all talked. Once I satisfied him we had eaten something, he took his girls home, leaving me alone with mine.
My family. I wanted to be here with them and make sure they were both okay. My daughter slept in my arms. A tiny, fragile being, I already loved more than I thought was humanly possible. I watched as she squirmed, swaddled in a soft, pink blanket. Her rosebud mouth was pursed, her small fists fighting to escape the material.
She gripped my finger with a strength that surprised and delighted me. My baby girl was strong. I looked up with a grin. I looked down at my daughter. The names went well together, and they honored two women we both loved. Laura will be thrilled, and Penny would have been so happy and proud.
She looks like a Gracie. I paid a lot of money for this private room. Katy had her long enough. So you go to sleep. Then I blinked again. Fuck, it had been so long since we were like this. Together, naked, and ready for each other. The fact she came to me was a huge turn on, and seeing her need, I planned to meet and exceed her desire.
She was softer, curvier than before she got pregnant, and I loved how she felt under my hands. Her low hiss when I buried my face between her legs made me smile against her slick skin. She was so ready for me. I was so fucking ready. Everything about her was as new as it was familiar: her sounds, her taste, the way she moved against my mouth.
I teased and licked, groaning at her reactions, making a mental note to keep the beard. Jenna teased me mercilessly at work, but it was worth this effect on my wife.
