Hiram was still on the bed, not fully awake, and Heather joined him, kissing his chest and stroking the contours of his chest and stomach.

“You know that makes me excited,” he reminded her.

“Aye, I know. I just figured that while Alistair is asleep, we could have a little grown-up time.” She smiled a wicked smile as she straddled his waist.

Hiram sighed in pleasure, freeing her breasts from her gown so that they pointed towards him. “They are still so big and so beautiful.” He sighed in appreciation.

“Aye, they may stay that way too. But if not, they will return once you impregnate me again.” She laughed huskily. “Whenever you are ready.” She slipped her gown all the way down and where before her stomach had been fully flat and flawless, now he saw how pregnancy had shaped her. She was beautiful, a woman in every sense of the word. Her stomach was no longer completely flat, but, in so many ways, this new curvier Heather was even more exciting to him. He loved her deeply. She just had to look at him and he desired her. He had tried so hard not to be demanding or think about his own needs but now she had requested attention and he would give her what she needed. He pulled her close and slid inside her. She was ready for him and sighed in deep pleasure as he moved within her.

“I have missed this my love.” She kissed him gently as he moved gently and with love.

“This is perfect. Feels so amazing. I love you Heather.” He held her tightly, emotional at their physical reunion. “Are you sure you are ready? I mean, I could make you pregnant…it may be too soon.”

“If it happens, then I will be happy.”

“I want more children my love. But I don’t want to hurt…”

“Ssh,” she told him. “I am ready to be your wife again.”

He pulled her down to kiss her and rolled over so he was now on top and in control. He wanted to be gentle and had to fight the desire to take her hard. He was desperate for the release. He ached for her. It had been too long a wait. He knew he wouldn’t be able to contain himself for long. She moaned loudly as he pushed her into oblivion with an orgasm that seemed to last several minutes.

“Hiram, that was amazing!” Her breathing was fast and hard and as he continued to move within her, he gave a cry of pleasure until his own release came.

They lay quietly recovering from their union. No words were necessary. Life was moving full circle. Hiram felt blessed. While it had been difficult to hold back from her for months, he’d been worried about hurting her and knew that their priorities had to change. He was responsible for her and for their son. It was a responsibility that filled him with joy. The fears had subsided.

“How are the preparations coming along for Maggie and Heath’s big day?” She nestled against Hiram, listening to his heartbeat gradually slowing after their sudden passion.

“Slowly, apparently. Maggie is insisting on doing much of the preparations herself and it must be perfect.”

“Oh of course.” Heather laughed. “She is in love. It is her big day and she is very determined.”

“Once she moves out, this castle is going to feel a little empty,” he admitted

“All the more reason to fill this place with our offspring.” Heather laughed at the prospect. “Perhaps a daughter next time. Although, it does not matter to me. I just want us to have a big family. Can you imagine the noise here when we have lots of children running around?” She giggled at the thought.

“It will be a home,” Hiram said, sighing with pleasure at the prospect.

“You know I am shocked that we haven’t received any letters from your mother,” Heather said. “Not even a congratulations for the baby. Maggie hasn’t heard from her about the wedding either.”

“Don’t curse us dear. I am happy that she hasn’t reached out. After all, she basically disowned us when we suggested she leave,” he stated dryly.

Heather looked at him. “I know but she was torn between seeing her sister and staying for the baby. It does seem odd.”

“You know, I think that my mother is happy over there. They did not see each other for years and now she is seeing her sister and the three children. Perhaps it is what she needed.”

“They are all grown up I assume. I hope they are not tainted in the same way as her?”

“Let’s stop talking about her. I feel like we are sending out signals to the world that we want to see her. The last thing I want is her showing up here.” Hiram shuddered at the thought.

“I agree, Alistair would be in her grasp, and who knows what she would do to him.”

“Probably change his name and try and convince him he can do anything to anyone. You know, how she did with Connor,” Hiram commented.

“Anyway, let’s talk about happier things as you said, like your sister and her betrothed,” Heather suggested.

“Heath and Maggie will be married soon. She is so happy. Every time I look at her, she is smiling. I can see the joy. Did I look like that?”

“You still do my dear, as do I.” Heather laughed. “You can’t hide pure happiness.”
