Oh Goddess, having his lips on mine for the first time in what felt like forever, it was amazing. The kiss was sweet, tender and gentle. He was definitely making sure that he wasn’t hurting me at all.
At first it was just a tender kiss and nothing more. It was not hot or passionate at all. But that wasn’t enough for Joaquin, nor was it enough for me. Soon, Joaquin was encouraging me to open my mouth more by pressing his tongue against my lips. That little cue had me opening for him so that he could slide his tongue inside and take even more of me.
There was a trade off though. The more that he could taste of me, the more that I could taste of him. I could taste that sweet, spicy and robust flavor of his. The chocolate, coffee and cinnamon were stronger than the forest parts of his smell. Usually when I tasted him like that, the forest didn’t come into play at all. That was more for the scent than anything else.
Joaquin decided that he didn’t want his right hand on my waist anymore. Instead, he slid it up my body, making me shiver in the process. The hand went all the way up until he could cup the side of my head in his hand. He was running his thumb across my cheek as he kissed me and made me feel dizzy. I didn’t care though. I needed this. It was perfect and calming and was making me feel like everything would be right with the world. It might not be there yet, but it will be soon.
When the kiss finally broke, we were both panting and trying to catch our breath. While he looked down at me, Joaquin pressed his forehead to mine and smiled. I only know that he smiled because I could see the way that his eyes crinkled. Not to mention, his eyes were filled with pure joy and lust.
“I love you, Joaquin.” I whispered to him as I returned the smile, making sure that it reached my eyes as well. I wanted him to know that I was smiling for him.
“I love you too, Little Bunny.”
“However, as much as I love you, I can’t give you what you want right now.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha! He pulled his head away from me and laughed long and loud. I don’t know why he thought that was funny, but for some reason he did.
“What? What are you laughing about?”
“You, Little Bunny. You say some of the funniest things sometimes. Yes, I am lusting after you right now, more now than usual because of the kiss we just shared. But you should already know that I never look at you without having lust in my eyes. You’re the most beautiful woman in the world and no matter the situation I find you sexy as hell. From the first day that I saw you all the way until today. There is nothing but lust and love that I feel for you. So yeah, I can’t satisfy that urge right now, but that is fine. I will wait until the day comes that we can be together again. That won’t stop me from lusting after you though. That is constant, like I said.”
“Ha ha. Yeah, I guess that I was being a little ridiculous there. I knew that you usually looked at me like that, but now we truly can’t do anything together. I can’t move for one, and for two, I am so huge with these babies. It wouldn’t be good for either of us.”
“Just hush.” He laughed again and pressed his lips against mine for a gentle kiss. This time the kiss was soft, sweet and not at all filled with passion. It was also very quick since he pulled back way too soon for my liking.
Dammit. He wasn’t the only one whose body was filled with lust. I was feeling it too. And as much as I wanted more, as much as I wanted him, I couldn’t do anything about it for a long time.
This was getting to be quite annoying. I came home from being gone only to be trapped in a body that felt like a prison to me and unable to be with my husband. OK, I will admit that even if my body was able to move right now, I couldn’t be with Joaquin. I was way too big with the triplets for that. Still though, it was annoying.
Now that I thought about all of this, there was a lot that I needed to do and think about though. I needed to prepare for the birth of the triplets. I needed to get them clothes, furniture, bottles, all of that stuff. Of course, I wouldn’t be able to put any of it together. Joaquin was going to have a lot of work to do.
“Hey, Joaquin?” I called out to him to get his attention and have him look at me.
“Yeah?” His face was calm, and I could tell that the kiss had helped him the way that he wanted it to.
“There is a lot of stuff that we need to do.”
“Like what? Aren’t we just waiting for our parents and the kids to get here?” He was so silly and so confused.
“Not right now. Soon though. We need to prepare the nursery again. We need to get it ready for the triplets.”
“Yeah, I already have plans to order some name boards for them. Just like the ones I got for Talia, Reagan and Rika. I want them to have the best nursery ever. But you are forbidden to do any of it. Do you hear me?”
“Ha Ha Ha! Yes, Joaquin, I know. I already told myself that it’s going to be you doing it all. I won’t even watch. I will just tell you what I want this time. Deal?” I laughed at him and tried my best to shake my head. I couldn’t shake his hand so it would have to do.
“This all seems too easy. You have got to be planning something else.”
“Why are you so suspicious of me?” I asked with a pout.
“Because I know you, Little Bunny. And I don’t trust that you will sit still and do what you’re told to do. You never do that any other time.”
“Yeah, I know, but I promise to be good. I don’t want anything to happen to the boys.” I assured him with all honesty.
“Good.” He leaned in for another quick kiss then whispered one more time.. “I still don’t believe it though.”

After we both laughed at that rather insulting whisper that Joaquin had done right into my ear, we could hear hurried footsteps coming up the stairs toward our room. I could already smell the scents of my children and my parents. Lila and Grandfather were there as well. It was all of my family besides my siblings, in-laws, and friends that were like my family.
“My babies are here.” I grinned and nearly squealed the words just as the door to my room was flung open.
“Mom!” Rika was the first one inside, always so quick on her feet.
“Momma!” Reagan was right on her heels.
“Mommy!” Little Talia was the last of my three children to come through the door. And all three of them were crying tears of relief when they saw me.
They weren’t the only ones that had been running either. Hot on all of their heels were the adults that were on their way up here.
“Riviana! My baby girl.” Mom was the next one in the room.
