cup a large
breast in his palm.
    Molly
winced when he thumbed the nipples. The slight touch was a combination of
pleasure and pain.
    “You’re
so beautiful. These are large, ripe, and will feed our child, Molly.” His hand
moved down farther still to caress her stomach. “Here is where our child rests.
There is nothing unattractive about you. I want you desperately.” He pressed
her palm to his cock. She felt the heat of him through the pants he wore. His shaft
was long, thick, and jumped in her palm.
    She
gasped.
    “I
want you, but I don’t want to hurt you.”
    David
dropped to his knees before her, kissing her stomach and down farther to lay
gentle kisses to her mound. She whimpered. His touch was more than she could
stand.
    When
she thought she would pass out from the pleasure, he helped her into the
bath-tub.
    ****
    That
afternoon was the best time of her life. David had been attentive and stayed
with her until the following morning. He hadn’t missed another birthday after
that. Neither had any of their children. It was funny
how she’d never thought of any of this during their years together. Thinking
about their time together was starting to open her mind about certain emotions.
    Molly
looked up as David walked in. She noticed all the paperwork in his arms and
frowned.
    “You
shouldn’t be overdoing yourself. You should be resting,” she said.
    “I
thought you were cooking dinner?”
    She
shrugged her shoulders. “I couldn’t think what to do.”
    “Good,
we’ll get take-out. You don’t have to constantly be cooking.” He took a seat at
the counter then placed the paperwork in front of him. “There is something I
want to talk to you about.”
    She
took the seat next to him, waiting for him to say something.
    “Many
years ago you booked a vacation that I didn’t make. If I recall correctly none
of us went on vacation that year. You never booked any trips or vacations
again.”
    “You
always had a reason not to go. I never wanted to get my hopes up.” Molly wished
she’d forced him to sign the divorce papers. For every memory that was good,
she also recalled the bad as well.
    He
reached over taking hold of her hand. “I was a fool, Molly. I never should have
treated you the way I did. You have no idea how much I’ve loved you over the
years.”
    Molly
turned away from his intense gaze. It hurt to see his honesty after all these
years. She was so used to everything else. “What do you want to show me?” she
asked.
    He
opened up the file. “I bought something for you, a few years back. I never told
you about it. I have no idea why I never told you. I was stupid for keeping it
away from you even after the renovations.” David pulled out a picture of a
little cottage. He handed it over to her. She took the picture, and her hands
were shaking as she stared at the cottage.
    “This
was where I organised the vacation.” The small cottage was surrounded by fields
and forests. She’d booked the cottage because it would have enough rooms for
all of them and provide activities for all the boys.   Molly turned the page over reading through
the description she remembered. “What happened? Why do you have this?” she
asked.
    “When
I didn’t make it to the vacation and you didn’t go I thought nothing of it.
Then one night I found the leaflet with a pile of papers   with the cottage on it. I knew you had wanted
to go, and I’d ruined it for you. So, I organised a viewing of the property. It
needed a lot of work and some rebuilding to get it back up to scratch.”
    “You
never told me about this.”
    “I
couldn’t find the right time to tell you. I wanted to all the time. It just
never seemed right.”
    Tears
were falling from her eyes as she looked at the picture. “Is this for me?” she
asked.
    He
nodded his head. Without thinking, she walked round to where he sat and hugged
him close.
    David
wrapped his arms around her. His grip was tight. “Thank you so much,” she said.
