Chapter 57

Happily Ever After

 "I am sorry Edwin." Iris said. "I did not trust your love, I was scared and disturbed of having $ex with you" she looked at her toes embarrassed of what she was saying. "It was unfair. I knew I hurt you. I feel very low of myself."

He cupped her face in both his hands, his touch tender making her lean her face, giving up her strength and submitted to him breaking all her walls

Iris looked back at him as he repeated the words "I am sorry" he said "I should have understood, I forced myself to you. I should have courted you first, showed my love, made you believe in love and win your trust first that I do love you."

"Edwin" Iris called his name; his words so polite and sweet making her heart melt.

Iris was not used to something like this and couldn't believe that this was happening.

She wanted to stop him, so that it does not get washed away.

"With all the hardships in my life somewhere I had accepted happiness is curse for me and I cannot have it and so" she bit her lip and said "Stop I want you to stop, maybe somewhere I feel I do not deserve it."

"Iris" Edwin pulled her close but she retaliated

"I am dirty" Iris blurted.

He brushed his thumb on her cheeks reaching her lips pressing them softly "sshhh... don't.." hurt crossing his face "You Are not DIRTY." He said angrily.

"I am. I was a prostitute. I do not deserve you." Iris said finally giving fate another chance to ruin it all for her.

Joy and Me have now become antonyms.

"No Iris No you are not. I love you for what you are and how innocent and pure your heart is and I love you for what you did, the means might be wrong but I still love you for that." He chuckled adding "you might find it weird but I love you for everything."

Iris stared back at him with shock.

"I know you never enjoyed intimacy with me but it is never gonna happen again, I am going to make you fall for me, I am going to make you enjoy making love with me." He said.

Iris tried to look away, his trusting eyes were making her uncomfortable "Sorry Edwin, I tried but I am ruined, I have nothing left, I can't." Iris defied.

"It's a mind set Iris. Tell me if you were dirty then how could you give birth to something so beautiful, so pellucid like Isabelle." His eyes filled with nothing but pride for Iris

And with that name, all the negatives disappeared expeditiously.

He hugged her tight and Iris too hugged him back as if her life depended on that hug.

"And now I want you to feel this love, my love and enjoy every bit of It." he said with a short peck on her lips.

Iris looked at him unbelievingly.

"I am not only going to make love to you but I am going to change the definition of love." He said confidently.

"How?" Iris asked like a little child who is anxious to know the new rule of his favorite sport.

"You trust me?" he asked and Iris nodded in approval.

He took her to one of the cozy rooms of the same hotel.

The sparsely lit room was very welcoming and the maroon mattress hinted that Iris was going to remember the place for a lifetime.

He sat on the bed his back resting on the bed rest. He made her sit besides and said, "Close your eyes."

Iris immediately followed his instructions.

"Tell me which part of your body you like the most?" he asked.

Iris opened her eyes wondering what he intended to do.

He swiped his palms around her eyes closing them profusely and said "you'd said you trust me. So now tell me which part of your body you feel is the best."

Thinking about what he was expecting, her hands on their accord reached her abdomen, "I like my abdomen. This was the place where Isabelle was nestled for nine months and I am proud of this part of my body."

He laughed his $exy laugh forcing Iris to open her eyes and see a naughty nerve in his hazels.

Pulling Iris to lie on her back he shifted on his knees.

Iris was lying on the edge of the bed and he sat on his knees besides, his face parallel to her abdomen.

He gave one sly look to Iris and worked with her shirt that was tugged inside the skirt.

Iris's heart was beating wildly not knowing what to expect next, nevertheless did she want to disappoint him so she let him have his take as she closed her eyes.

"No Iris I want you to open your eyes. I want you to witness it with your eyes." He said, his voice husky with love and desire.

Like a jeanie from the magic lamp, and he being her master Iris obeyed his commands opening her eyes instantaneously.

He lifted the crimpled part of her pale white shirt and was bending either to have a look or to kis...

Iris immediately pulled her legs together completely dolorous about his moves.

"No Edwin, its got stretch marks, its ugly." Iris said earning a chuckle from him as he made another move straightening her legs again.

"Edwin wait I like my shoulder too" Iris pushed her hair behind trying to expose her shoulder "you kissed here for the first time." Iris said blushing.

"What if I say I too like your abdomen." He insisted working on the buttons exposing her torso.

"Beautiful" he said as he exposed her stomach.

"Edwin.." Iris called hesitatingly trying to stop him from doing what he was doing.

He came to Iris and tugged her hair behind the ears. He pressed her forehead with his trying to erase the lines of worry around them "The feisty Iris is nervous today" he smiled and started playing with her fingers and asked "did you ever dislike me when I behaved like a jerk shouting at you, cursing and misbehaving with you?"

He continued "No. I know you can never dislike me because you love me."

Iris's heart skipped a beat.

Though she knew that she loved him truly but hearing him from Edwin simply was enigmatic, it was a kind of turn on.

"So I love you and I love each and every part of your body even your abdomen where Isabelle rested for nine months" he smiled and went back to her torso.

His hands moved around her lower abdomen creating tiny crackers insides her body the soft harmless ones that erupted every where making her moan.

Just when Iris got used to his magical touch, his fingers were replaced by his tongue, which raised the level of pleasures the tiny crackers increased on their intensity forcing her to make cries of moan.

Iris closed her fist unable to control what was happening inside her when he bit exactly below her naval, the magnitude of pleasure reaching new heights and Iris closed her eyes.

"No do not close our eyes" he said commandingly as he looked at her.

When her dark met his hazels both of them fogged with lust Iris felt a twist in her delicate spot.

Iris couldn't help but pull him and kissed him hard, he followed the rhythm kissing her back and she didn't know how and when either of them opened their mouth giving access to each other for the biggest treasure on earth-love.

He pulled away making her groan but the naughty smile on his face said that he had more in store for her, a lot more was yet to come...

His hands moved around her body like a craftsman who expertise the art of lovemaking which was soon replaced by his tongue followed by kisses and when Iris couldn't take it any more and thought that there was nothing exceeding this pleasure he proved her wrong again giving one big thrust inside her making her moan like a mad horse.

Soon Iris wanted more; add on 'the open eyes' rules. Iris was about to die but death was far less than what she was feeling now.

His push to and fro and his hands that were doing magic as they worked on the beads of her chest made Iris dig nails in him.

Iris's violent part had to be subsided but it was aggravating with his every move.

Now Iris was in full verge as she exceeded moving more aggressively against his and he helping her through till there was point of no return.

Iris had a major explosion, nothing less than a nuclear explosion, only positive thing being she was enjoying, she loved every bit of it.

I had my first orgasm...

Proud of his conduct, Edwin now increased his pace moving to and fro violently and before Iris could realize she was back to high again till he climaxed and Iris joined him again.

Is that ever possible!!!!

He pulled back coming to her as he came to lay besides Iris kissing on her forehead and licking that drop of tear that managed to slip her eyes.

"This tear of my joy is my honorarium and I cannot let it go." He said hugging her.

Iris smiled grinning from ear to ear wondering what she had done to earn him as husband; as father of her child.

He shifted a bit and Iris got scared for a moment if he was leaving but he stretched his hand straight pulling her head to rest on his shoulders putting his hand back like a hug.

Iris closed her eyes embracing herself to a deep, peaceful and contented slumber, a smile plastered on her face which Iris doubted would ebb even if she was asleep.

Edwin; Iris knew and felt as he stared and admired her before he kissed her on forehead and said "I want to wake up besides you every morning of my life" and went to sleep

'''''''''''

Iris was in extreme hurry today. She is always restless and stressed out when she is doing something important for Isabelle.

Today she had Isa's appointment with her pediatrician for her vaccination followed by the insurance consultant regarding some new policies. She deeply feared though she'd never admit in open if anything was repeated with Isabelle that she herself had been through with failure of medical claims and insurances so she wanted to get all the premiums to be paid by ecs system where the amount gets directly deposited into the companies without any arrears and so was she consulting the agent for same.

Edwin assured her "I have enough in my credits not to worry for Isabelle. You should relax"

But Iris cut him, "I being her mother deserves to worry and work about her stress as I fancy and it will gives me satisfaction and good nights sleep" she begged "please"

"If it is that important?" Edwin said "Then I am in for it."

He smiled at her as she picked random files scattered in the room trying to look for the file that she'd neatly maintained on the top of the drawer and he'd messed.

Edwin was taking full advantage of her careless attitude.

Though it has only left in the boundaries of their room.

Rest of the house was spic and span, well cleaned and maintained on hygiene point of view for Isabelle.

When she bent to pick her file he licked his tongue at the beautiful sight of her two bosoms surrounding the most beautiful valley of her soft porcelain skin hidden under her floral dress making his mouth water and he couldn't resist his hands but to squeeze them and enjoy their softness.

"Edwin.." she shouted blushing and feeling embarrassed at same time.

She looked at him emphatically and he winked at her licking his lips again lustfully and then went back to work as if nothing happened.

She called "Edwin please come here" and he knew she was also carried away by his charm.

Edwin shut the flap of his laptop and went to her ready for a quickie before she was about to leave for her appointments.

She blushed a little and was looking down on her toes crossing them and trying to figure her words that she ought to speak.

Edwin looked at her completely amused at her shyness.

Finally she managed to speak "Edwin why do you do this?" she asked.

"What?" he asked innocently pretending oblivion to the obvious.

"This squeezing umm.. my .." she bit her lip looking at her bosoms trying to give him a hint.

Edwin looked at her curiously enacting as if he did not get what she was saying.

So she continued "the other day you simply spanked on my b.. bu.." she hesitated so he moved his hands on her perfect fundamentals and answered for her getting close to her ears fanning his breath on them "Butts.." he said.

"Yes and the other day you also bit me over ...." She halted narrowing her eyes at him, understanding he was playing with her.

"I bit you over here" he pointed just below her shoulder over her perfect rounded breasts and bent to bite there again.

"This is normal Iris." Edwin answered sincerely looking at her confused expressions.

"Normal?" Iris asked more confused than ever.

"Yes normal couples do that." he answered easily.

"You mean we are normal couples and I have a normal life." it was not a question but a statement that was more addressed to herself.

"Yes and this what normal couples do." Edwin said as he kissed her earlobes that were inviting as they were really alert when they registered the words that her life was finally normal.

A soft moan escaped her mouth and he pulled her close, their bodies pressed to each other, her breathing fastened and both their lips longing for each others company and they did the inevitable and let them meet.

The kiss deepened and they got lost into a different world till Isabelle's call "mom" brought them back to reality "we are parents too" Edwin mumbled Reluctantly he broke the kiss.

Iris groaned unhappy with the distance that was created between them.

"Mummmmyyyy....." Isabelle's excited shriek broke her stance but this was Isa's second call, lost deep in the intimate kiss Iris did not hear the first one.

"Isabelle is calling.. I need to go." She informed debating within herself and her inner lustful desires.

"This is also normal in families." Edwin directed her helping her to take a decision to attend Isabelle.

"Normal?" she asked and he nodded.

She walked past him trying to rush to attend Isabelle, her motherly instinct overpowering her desires but she paused and spanked Edwin on his butt cheeks and brisk walked to go to Isabelle.

She stopped as she reached the door, Edwin staring at her bold behavior that she displayed for the first time in months.

She looked at him, a naughty tinge in her darks as she muttered "normal" and winked her eyes making him damn hot at that one instant.

This was the first time that Iris had done something intimate on her own

And I completely loved it!!!.

Like a lost puppy Edwin followed her.

Edwin adored her petite figure as she cherished Isabelle listening calmly to what she was saying.

He too joined them and Isabelle immediately jumped into his arms showing her fingernail that was accidentally cut a bit more than essential hurting her. Edwin knew it wasn't that bad and would recover soon but still it hurt to see his little seraph in pain.

He kissed it to ease the pain enjoying the love and trust of his little bundle of joy.

Iris was about to move away.

She always did that trying to give a lone time to Edwin and Isabelle but not any more.

"All the time I now have is for my family." Edwin stopped her holding her from her wrist. She looked at him and he pulled her for a hug and three of them stayed together in a group hug reflecting a picture perfect family.

Edwin and Iris listening, loving and doting their little world, Isabelle.....

Our family; Picture Perfect- A happy Ever After...

You[Iris], Me[Edwin] and She[Isabelle] in love....

You, Me and She in Love
