Your idea of 'giant' is very different from mine. To me, you just look amazing. Big or small, I just...
[ He slides a hand over her stomach, then slides it lower.
He snorts again, pressing his nose to Clarice's temple. ]
I told you, I had a lot to prove. I think James is still there, himself. Wants to show the world he can do whatever he's set to do. And I'm not like that anymore. I've proven myself.
( His hand moves, and it's meant to be comforting which would be nice, but only if Clarice's hormones didn't have other ideas. Because he touches her and heat prickles up her spine, skin breaking out in goosebumps. )
Mm. You have.
( Her voice is lighter then, cocking her head slightly. She covers John's hand with her own, stroking her thumb over the back of his knuckles. She shifts, and this time it's less to get comfortable and more to press her thighs together. Ava's asleep, she knows that. But she can't just jump John whenever she feels like it.
Or actually, she can, but she doesn't want to be a crazy pregnant lady. )
[ Her question makes him chuckle, raising an eyebrow. ]
I'm not tired. Why, you got something in mind?
[ It's not like he minds, if she wants to jump him all the time. It kinda got them in the situation they're in, after all, but he'd be the very last person to complain... ]
( She hasn't let go of his hand, and the laugh has been enough to bolster her boldness. Guiding his hand lower, past her swollen belly, Clarice eases up on her clamped thighs, spreads her knees so she can press his palm between her hips. She's warm there, through her sweats, and she rocks her hips up ever so slightly against his touch. )
I think maybe we have some energy to burn?
( This is the nice part, where she feels alive and needy. There'll come a time where she won't, where she'll feel too disgusting to be touched. But for now? She wants to take advantage. )
[ He lets her guide his hand, cupping her through her borrowed pants, before he slips under them, his arm curled around her belly as he touches her, feeling her damp through her panties. ]
( There's something daring about it. This is the second time around, and so she knows he knows just how badly her hormones get her. There were some days before, when she could never get enough. )
[ In answer, he presses his fingers against her. It should be nothing but a rhetorical question, because he has still to find a single time where he doesn't want to. ]
I can be quiet. Can you be quiet?
[ He circles his fingers, moves them down just a bit, teasing just the way he knows she likes. ]
[ He's still touching her, but when she's in this mood, demanding and horny and hormonal, he knows getting her to say exactly what she wants is the way forward. ]
My fingers? My mouth? Do you want to ride me?
[ He presses the words against her cheek, in between kisses, fingers slipping past her underwear. ]
[ It's hard, these days, for Clarice to get herself comfortable, but this is as close as she can get like this, and John is perfectly happy to support her, arm snaking around her belly, fingers between her legs and touching her slow, moving inside her deep.
John brushes his lips against the top of her head, inhaling the smell of her shampoo. He doesn't even think of the words as he speaks next, whispers pressed to her skin like a secret. ]
( She never really understands how John can find her attractive like this. She feels heavy, clumsy, more often that not she breaks out a sweat just by getting out of bed. Soon enough she might not even be able to see her feet. It bothers her more than she'd like it to, because she wants her babies. She just hates the part in between.
John helps. He touches her carefully, always on hand to make her feel a little more human, a little less like a beached whale. And he's so patient, so kind, that she could never get irritated at the joy he holds for these moments. She's carrying his child, and it's natural, something neither of them thought they'd ever get. Of course he loves it.
And she loves that he does.
She has to hold in the moan as he slides into the knuckles, hips twitching futilely. Clarice lets her eyes close, head still resting against his shoulder, gives into the sensation of it all. )
Mm. You're the pretty one. ( A cut off gasp as he moves just right, voice turning to a shakey whisper. ) Oh, John.
[ He smiles, dropping kisses everywhere he can reach, as he slowly, carefully fingers her, as gently as he knows she likes in moments like these. Unwilling to break the quiet bubble they've created around themselves, but also always with a hint of worry that being too energetic would wake up Ava.
He hums into her ear, barely above a whisper. She never gets just how amazing he thinks her to be, how strong, how brave. Willing to do this, to carry their children, to face the world when adventures like what happened earlier could happen at any point. She complains, but he knows she loves it fiercely, loves their kids fiercely, too, proud and protective as she can be.
It's beautiful. ]
I think we'll have to agree to disagree, there.
[ He smiles, pushing a little deeper inside her, adding another finger, keeping his rhythm slow. ]
( Her breath stutters out when his fingers move inside her, each tiny thrust making her feel like she's a livewire. Clarice shifts again, biting her lip to keep in the noises she wants to make. They have to make the most of their time alone these days and she wants him so badly that it drives her crazy. She's wet, her thighs trembling against his hand whenever he brushes her skin. It's simultaneously too much and not enough.
But God, she wouldn't change any of it for the world. Her sore feet, swollen belly, her hairy legs and granny panties. They're all a part of having something far more beautiful. John, their children, a home, a place where they can be safe and together.
His thumb strokes her clit and Clarice makes another choked noise, this time more insistent. There, she likes it when he presses there. )
[ She often thinks she looks ugly. She's thought she looked ugly her whole life, because of other people, shitty ex-boyfriends and anyone who gasped when they saw her eyes. But to John, she's the most beautiful girl he's ever seen, pregnant or not. He's willing to tell her, every single day, how much he loves her and wants her, without hesitation. He can't imagine his life without her, without her laughter and her sarcasm and the way she looks at their daughter, the way she looks at him. It's brilliant and beautiful and it hurts, sometimes, and this is his life. What he wants.
Moments like these, too, where she's trembling under his hand and he's going faster, pressing harder, making every effort to make her come. It isn't about him.
( It doesn't take long, not with the way her hormones have been behaving recently. John buries his fingers inside of her, his thumb pressed just right on her clit. Muscles clench helplessly around him, her head thrown back against his shoulder. She can only pant, soft and quiet in their dark room. But it's good, it's so good. John always knows how to light her up inside.
And then he does something with his wrist, twists just right and she has to bite down to keep herself from crying out, her hand curling around his forearm, hips jerking as she comes. Her senses are pretty scattered, but Clarice turns to press a kiss to his jaw. )
You're amazing, you know that?
( She's so lucky. It's a little difficult for her to move, but Clarice wriggles until she can get to her knees, leaning in to press an eager kiss to John's mouth. )
