Knot Intended by Karenna Colcroft

and Nolie gasped against his mouth as she started fucking him in the rhythm he set. He broke the kiss and found her nipple with his mouth, and the gentle sucking sent jolts straight to Nolie’s pussy.
    She picked up the pace, and Joseph matched her. Before Nolie realized she was close to climax, her orgasm burst through her. Her entire body tingled, and she could barely take a breath. Her limbs went limp and she collapsed onto Joseph, her pussy still contracting around his cock.
    Tightening his arms around her, Joseph kept fucking her through the climax. His breathing grew ragged, and within moments he cried out and shuddered beneath her as he filled her with his warm cum.
    His arms relaxed, but he still held Nolie in place. She snuggled against him, breathing in the scent of his sweat and their sex, so relaxed she nearly fell asleep.
    After only moments, though, he nudged her off him. She lay beside him and rested her head on his chest, and he embraced her. “I love you,” he murmured.
    “I love you too.” Nolie kissed his chest.
    “We can savor the afterglow for a minute before we eat.” Joseph let out a breathy chuckle. “Mainly because I don’t think I can move right now.”
    Nolie laughed. “Yeah. Me neither.”
    They were silent for a few minutes, and Nolie wasn’t certain whether she dozed or not. Curled up with her head on Joseph’s chest, safe in his arms, she felt only warmth and contentment. This was where she would always belong.
    “This whole making time for each other thing has worked out well,” Joseph whispered.
    “It has.” Nolie hesitated. She’d been waiting until the right moment to share something with Joseph, but she was running out of patience. And now was as good a time as any. “And it’s good that we’ve learned to put each other first, because pretty soon, we’re going to have another priority.”
    “What do you mean?” Joseph sounded guarded.
    “Nothing bad.” Nolie lifted her head so she could look him in the eye. “At least, I don’t think it’s bad. I’m pregnant.”
    Joseph stared at her. “You’re…?”
    “Pregnant,” Nolie repeated. She took a deep breath. She’d expected elation from Joseph. At least mild happiness. Not the dull stare and uncertain expression she saw. “Are you upset? I thought—”
    “Upset? Hell no.” His frown gave way to a smile, and his face lit up. Tightening his embrace, he kissed her shoulder. “Surprised. Thrilled. Not upset. I told you that day in the hotel I didn’t care if I ‘knocked you up.’ I meant it. I didn’t know if we were ready, but hell, how could I be upset? God, a baby! When?”
    His rapid-fire comments and questions made Nolie laugh. Relieved, she relaxed and put her head on Joseph’s chest again. “I’m about two months along. Do the math.”
    “This is amazing. I’m going to be a dad.” He stroked her hair. “You couldn’t have said anything better, babe. And believe me, I’m going to give you and our little one all the time and attention you deserve. Maybe role-playing and other adventures will have to wait a bit, but I swear to you right now, being a parent isn’t going to stop me from being the best husband to you that I can be.”
    Again tears came to Nolie’s eyes, and she sniffled. “And I promise you that I won’t let being a mother stop me from being your wife. We might have to get creative about working around sleep schedules and baby stuff, but I’m still going to put you right beside our child at the top of my priority list.”
    “Good.” Joseph let go of her. “God, I’m so happy I can’t even say. But right now, my top priority is food. Let’s eat, and then I’ll take you out for dessert.”
    “Sounds good.” Nolie sat up and patted her still-flat belly. “This little one already has a sweet tooth.”
    “That’s because he or she has the sweetest mother ever.” Joseph grimaced. “See what you’ve done? I’m a total sap. I love you, Nolie.”
    “I love you
