will be fine."
    The
touch of her fingers as they stroked him made sleep the last thing on his mind.
In seconds, his night clothes were shed and he was pulling hers over her head,
eager to feel her body next to his.
    Naked,
her skin seemed to dance in the moonlight, and Mateo ran his hands over her
beautiful breasts, so full and firm. Her deep pink nipples tightened to sensual
peaks at his touch, and he bent down to take one between his lips. Sucking it
gently, he listened as above him she moaned her need for more.
    He
enjoyed nothing more than pleasing her. Since the first time he had set eyes on
her, he had wanted to take her to the heights of desire he had only dreamed of
before her. Every precious inch of her excited him, made him want to give her
the pleasure his soul craved.
    When
she had first loved him, she had been shocked by his actions. Their lives were
ruled by their belief in God, and Eva even more so. But a love so strong could
never be offensive to their God, and Mateo convinced her that showing their
love for one another was one of creation's greatest joys undoubtedly created by
God to bring them happiness.
    "Mateo,
kiss me and let me show you how much I love you."
    He
slid up her body, placing kisses over her skin as he went, until finally his
lips met hers in a kiss that came from the deepest corner of his soul. Gently,
his tongue probed past her soft lips until it teased the tip of hers. Her body
responded wantonly, her hips lifting off the bed as she sought out his cock.
    Her
hands pushed against his lower back, pulling him into her as she wrapped her
legs around him. The need to be nested inside her body pressed into every fiber
of his being.
    "Eva,
my love, I am yours, heart and soul, forever."
    With
one gentle thrust, his body joined with hers, his cock deep inside her. It fit
like a glove around him, as if her body had been created solely to be one with
his.
    A
sense of bliss swept over him with each slow push into her willing body. Every
inch of him reveled in the exquisite joy of her body on his. And when he knew
he had given her everything he had, she surrendered to him in the most intimate
way a woman could with a man. Clinging to him, her tender walls closed in
around his cock, milking him toward his own release.
    For
a few sweet moments, the world was just the two of them and the happiness their
love had created. She was the sun, the moon, and the stars in his universe. As
he lay there with her in his arms, he silently thanked God for ending his
loneliness with such a perfect soul to match his.
     
    The
months of waiting for the child dwindled with each sunset that passed as Eva
grew in size and beauty. For the first time in his brief life, Mateo looked
back with no regrets. Whatever he had given up when he had left his father no
longer mattered when he could count a loving wife he adored and the birth of
their first child as blessings of a good life.
    At
the end of each day, he lay next to her and softly rubbed her expanding belly,
sometimes placing his ear next to it to listen. She would laugh and tease him
that babies were silent creatures until much later, so he would whisper to that
unseen miracle of life about how his mother chided his father for his silliness
but that he loved her all the same for it.
    "Mateo,
your son is going to think you are a madman," she whispered one night as
he spoke to their unborn child.
    "Not
a madman. Just eager to meet the soul his mother and I created."
    Quietly,
she asked, "What if it is a girl?"
    Oddly,
he'd never considered that possibility. "A girl? A daughter instead of a
son?"
    "Yes.
What if our child is your daughter? Will you be disappointed?"
    Mateo
heard the concern in her voice. A son to carry on his name would be a gift from
God. But a daughter would be no less loved.
    Tenderly
kissing her belly, he whispered, "I could no more be disappointed in a
daughter than I could in her mother. Whatever you are, my child, you are
loved."
