I'm finally happy
Nora
I ran my fingers over and over through his chest. Caressing every part of his skin, savouring the texture of his chest hair. How much I love how soft and warm it feels between my fingers.
When I touched his abdomen, I could feel his muscles well-formed. There is no wrong place in his entire body. He is as firm as a rock. There is no doubt in my mind that he is the best.
As I lowered my hand even further, I was able to reach his flaccid member, resting on one side. With the hope of seeing results, I began stroking it. It was still wet with this sticky fluid formed by the two of us. It was a sample and proof of our desire.
Less than five minutes ago, he was inside me, making me scream with pleasure, and now, I want it again. The simple fact of looking at it incites a surge of passion in me. My fluids immediately began to soak my inner thighs.
My sexual desire has not decreased despite the three years we've been together, on the contrary, it keeps growing. It goes hand in hand with the love I feel for him as well. Edward is the only one I love.
“Nora, I know I'm irresistible, but for God's sake, woman. I am just a man. My recovery is not as fast as yours. Give me a few more minutes.” Edward told me with a contagious smile on his beautiful face. I looked him straight in the eye and pouted. These hormones are killing me, I can't get my hands off him, even if I want it. I'm sure his member is going to wear out from so much use.
“I need you, Edward. This void between my legs is horrible, and I want you to take care of this problem,” I grab his hand, taking it towards my entrance.
My heart pounded when I felt his fingers opening my folds, while the adrenaline was pumping furiously through my bloodstream. That's what Edward does to me. He drives me crazy with one touch of his fingers.
He smiled as he looked at his fingers. Thereafter, he turned towards me and said, “I know you're always ready for me, but seeing this makes me hard, like this.” He grabbed my hand and led it to where his desire formed and grew. He was rock-hard in a split second. The heat was burning me.
I moved closer to his face and took his lips with mine. The kiss escalated until I was breathless. Without letting go, Edward covered me with his body, making me spread my legs to welcome him. Without needing anything else, he slid himself smoothly into me, without resistance. My juices lubricated the way.
Edward made me see the stars two more times that night. The way he handles my body is perfect as if I've known him forever, and on my part, I have memorized every pore, every crease, and every mole on his body. I know what he likes, and I know what drives him crazy. My mind is conditioned to make him happy, in the same way that he sees my happiness. I love him without reservation, and he never tires of repeating the same thing to me. Our love, I'm certain, will transcend time and space.

After the intensity of the whole night, the next morning I woke up calmer. I stretched out while I gave a big yawn. I turned my head to where my man was, and with immense tenderness, I touched his sleeping face. Not only that, but I couldn't help but stay like this for a while, only watching him.
“What are you doing, Nora? Please don't be strange and creepy. Watching someone sleep like that is scary.”
“Edward,” I playfully smacked him on his chest. “Stop teasing me, it's not fair. How long have you been awake?”
“Enough, love, enough to know that you are a freak.” Edward laughed non-stop and with a contagious smile, I followed. He always has that effect on me. But after a while, I looked at him seriously, and he looked back at me.
He sat up on his elbows and waited for me to say something, and without further ado, I blurted out what had me in anguish for two days, “I'm pregnant.”
Edward's expression didn't change, it seemed like he hadn't heard what I said.
“Edward, I am pregnant,” I told him again, and this time he did respond. His eyes widened comically, and his mouth fell open as if the muscles in his jaw weren't working.
After a few seconds, “Nora, did I hear well? I don't think I understood. Did you say you are pregnant?” Edward's voice became a whisper. I nodded, confirming everything. His eyes filled with tears. I've never experienced emotions of this level in my life before. Edward's soul was about to leap out of his body.
He sat up fully and slowly cupped my chin in his hand. I brought my face close to his, and he kissed me with so much feeling and dedication that my soul was the one that was most at risk of abandoning me. Edward finished the kiss and looked down at my stomach. “The doctor told me that it was only two months old. Nothing is noticeable yet.”
“Why didn't you tell me anything? I would have liked very much to have been there with you?”
My heart filled with guilt. “I wasn't confident. Forgive me, love. I wanted to be sure first. I didn't really know what it was, but only a hunch. Forgive me, Edward.”
“OK, OK, love. This is the most wonderful news I have ever heard. I'm GOING TO BE A DAD! I will be a dad!”
Edward cried out in happiness, clutching his head at the same time. That stole my heart even more. I knew this news would make him happy, but this is more than I could wish for. The love of my life will be the best dad in the world.
From the moment we got together three years ago, Edward taught me the true meaning of the word love. I could have gone through this life without knowing what it was, but life got tired of treating me badly and gave him to me as compensation. He healed all my wounds and change all the pain and suffering that I passed at the hands of those who were supposed to love and protect me.
But not Edward. He has given me everything without reservation, conditions, or impositions. He saved me from the void so great that it was eating my insides.
While he was screaming, I couldn't help but hug him. I was so happy that I started crying. But Edward felt my tears and hugged me tighter, stroking my hair at the same time.
“Thank you, Nora. My baby will be beautiful, I already want to see her or him. You have to tell me everything. And we have to make another appointment with a specialist. I would like to know if everything is okay with you both.”
“Of course I'm fine, the treatment I had three years ago ended satisfactorily. Nothing is left. I am in better health than you.” Edward just shook his head at my comment.
Thereafter, he kissed me, and between kisses, he told me, “I have the feeling that your hormones were the ones controlling your body, and not that I am irresistible.”
I smiled into his mouth, saying, “I think both.”

It has been a week since I broke the news to Edward about my pregnancy. He immediately scheduled an appointment with a gynecologist. He demanded to be present, and I for nothing in the world would deny him that right.
My baby's dad is extremely protective, and he wants to make sure both the baby and the mother are healthy. Who would have thought? That after experiencing a violent relationship with my ex-husband, I would find such a loving man with a heart of gold? Without forgetting that he is beautiful and seductive, like the forbidden fruit itself.
After our first date, Edward and I became a couple. I knew that Erik had been incarcerated, and that was a sign for me to move on, and my chance to forge all my past forever.
At first, I was afraid that something would happen to Edward, but as time went by, the fear disappeared, giving me the strength and courage to continue with my life. A month later, I was already living with him. I moved to his house. It was a small two-room flat, but for me, no luxurious mansion could compete with this place because finally, I could call it home. My home.
And about my friend Hilda, she seemed alarmed and worried about my decision. She insisted that we had moved quickly and that we needed to wait. The way she insisted on me surprised me, but I guess that was because she was only worried. We have become good friends over the years, and it is to Hilda that I owe this happiness that I cannot describe in words. Then I realized I couldn't and didn't want to waste my time any more.
The most incredible experience of my life has been living with Edward and meeting him. Knowing about him has only made me admire him more. Both he and his mother are fighters, and they managed to succeed and get ahead in the end. He only has one parent, his mother, Ruth. Because of her great efforts in raising him, she deserves a double reward. The father, well, abandoned both when he learned about Ruth's pregnancy. Coward. A disgusting man.
As a single mother raising a son, Edward told me she worked two shifts and even sometimes three. Although she worked so much, she never neglected her son, but the opposite. She supports him and encourages him in his decisions.
When I heard him mention his mom like that, I felt a hit of jealousy and a lot of sadness combined.
My life would be entirely different today if I had a mother like that. But on the other hand, I wouldn't change anything about this. Because whatever happened, I was guided into the arms of my beloved Edward. For him, and for having him by my side, I would go to hell. I love him with an intensity that is worrying. Knowing that my heart depends on him sometimes scares me.
Ruth lives in another state, which is why I have only seen her a few times. Nevertheless, her presence is like a breath of fresh air. Seeing how charismatic she is, I would love to be like her one day. She is solid and integral, and most importantly, she is faithful until the very end. Her family is the most important thing to her.
Ruth has welcomed me into her family with open arms. Even telling me that I was already the daughter she had always wanted to have. And that she is leaving her son in my capable hands. In addition, Ruth mentioned to me that Edward was brilliant and would easily become one of the state's geniuses, but he did not want that to happen because he was so passionate about helping others.
His altruism weighed heavier on him, so he decided to devote his life to saving people in the rescue centre. I am proud of him, and I am glad he selected this profession.

Two days later, it was my appointment with the gynecologist. We were both nervous, but anxious at the same time to know about our little one. The hospital was not far from home, and we only did twenty minutes.
Upon arriving at the reception, the nurse took our information, and then, we waited for them to call us. Edward’s hands were sweaty. It was incredible to see this reckless man face any danger to rescue a victim with a hand of steel but to see his baby, he was trembling like a leaf falling from a tree in autumn.
“Nora Matthew, please, go to room number 23.”
The nurse pointed the way and with nervous steps, Edward and I entered. The doctor was approximately 60 years old or older, but his gaze seemed very assertive. He immediately gave me a lot of confidence.
“Mr and Mrs Matthew, how can I help you?” The doctor asked us with a smile on his face.
“I am pregnant, and I would like you to take a look. We want to know that our baby is fine and that everything is in order.”
“Oh! But of course. Get on the bed and lie down. I'll start examining you in a second.”
I looked nervously at Edward, and he was worse than I was. This is a crucial event in our lives because after the baby is born, nothing will be the same for us. But Edward assured me with his head, encouraging me to take this step.
When he's next to me, I feel like I'm invincible, so I lay down, and wait. The doctor lifted my blouse and placed his scanner coated with gel on my tummy. On the screen next to the doctor, a series of images that made no sense to me began to appear. But the doctor explained each of them to us.
“This here, Nora, it's your baby. It's just a pea, about an inch and a half, but here it is, undoubtedly. We will listen to the heart next.” Edward grabbed my hand and squeezed hard. I returned the squeeze, letting him know that we were in this together.
“Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum”
“You heard that? That's your baby's heartbeat, and it sounds perfect. Congratulations, up to this point, everything is going well. You have nothing to worry about.”
With tears, I looked at my love, thanking him for all that he has done for me with my eyes, and for giving me this priceless gift. He smiled at me, saying, “I love you.”

The month passed quickly without any changes. I have been working with Edward at the rescue centre for almost three years. The team asked me if I was keen to join them since they needed a lot of help, and the volunteers were few.
Without thinking twice, I accepted. And not only that, but I kept my word to sponsor the rescue centre. Providing them with the best equipment and resources necessary so that they could carry out their work in the best way.
Now that Patty and Edward have helped me understand how the entire rescue centre is structured and operates, I handle the purchases directly. In addition to that, I am responsible for whatever else is needed, and I mean whatever. The only thing I do not do is to participate in rescue missions. I have no training and would only put the mission at risk along with my life.
I was in the administration office checking some documents when we received the news of an accident on the radio. All units went on alert and gathered in the conference room. I joined them, and I saw Edward organizing the rescue squad.
The information was displayed on the screen with all the data we required. This accident was on a rarely used road, as a new and better one had been constructed in its place.
We encountered a car with three passengers. There were no indications of their condition, however, from the height where they fell, surely they were either dead or severely injured.
To arrive on time, our team set off immediately. However, the car had become stuck atop the slope, and at any moment, it might fall. The coordinators wasted no time, including Edward. All the equipment was loaded into trucks that were specially designed for the job.
We were an hour away from where the accident occurred. Edward, from where he was standing, saw me and blew me a kiss. After getting into the vehicle, all of them drove off. Seeing them gone, my heart was filled with fear. I had seen him leave like that thousands of times, and he always came back to me. So, I pushed that feeling out of my head and decided to wait for his return. There were still many things to do, and coordinating the rescue and support from the base was one of them.
Patty was one of those who stayed too. She had the radio with which the rescue teams communicated with us in case something happened, or to notify the state in which the mission was.
She went to the soda fountain and poured herself a coffee and for me, a tea. Then, she put it in front of me and sat.
“Thanks, Patty, too bad I can't have coffee, I'm dying for one, but this will do the trick.” I took the cup and took a sip. I stared at the liquid because it tasted bitter, so I asked her, “What is this? It tastes wrong.”
“It's the same one you always drink. I didn't put anything in it, except sugar.”
“Okay then,” but I didn't take any more sips, so I put the teacup back on the table.
