Who knew it was so easy to get married? Well, in Alabama anyway.
I looked it up and we went to the county courthouse, got the proper form, filled it out, had the form notarized, and filed it with the probate court. Two days later I got the official Marriage Certificate from the office, complete with the raised seal, and spent a day getting beneficiaries and insurance coverages changed.
That was it.
We were officially married.
Since I'm a freelance writer and prolific producer of porn that I publish through the Direct to Kindle system, Amazon's no-cost self-publishing operation, I didn't have an office or a boss to report to, so no one missed me. And my new relationship provided the basis for a few more quickie novels.
What I write is kind of the hard-core version of those romance novels you find on one wall of any used bookstore.
Harlequin Romance
is the biggest publisher, but I suppose there are others. So I was cranking out new novels at the rate of one every four days, all based on incest.
Such a harsh word, isn't it, for such a beautiful relationship.
Anyway, the books are very formulaic and I can crank them out in a hurry. I have, oh, I suppose a couple of hundred titles out there now. No best sellers, but if each sells ten a week, well, you get the picture. We're far from rich but we
are
comfortable.
I'm not trying to schlepp books here, just making the point that I didn't have to report to an office and had plenty of time to tend to Teddy.
As we moved into the eighth month she was getting truly huge. She's one of those women who carry the baby like a huge pot belly. Her belly stuck straight out by the eighth month and she was walking in that leaning-back posture of a pregnant woman dealing with a center of gravity about two feet ahead of what she spent a lifetime learning to handle.
And those stretchmarks, those absolutely gorgeous stretchmarks kept spreading. There were three separate sets now. The first started at her belly button, popped out like a Butterball Turkey's
I'm-done
button, and radiated all around the beachball she had swallowed. The second ran down each hip to the tops of her thighs, The third covered her breasts as they ran through the C cup of our first night together, itself two sizes bigger than the A cup she had started with, to the DD cup she overflowed now. The marks on her belly were very dark, almost chocolate colored, and so deep I could feel them with my fingertips or my lips depending on our mood. Those on her hips and her breasts were different, they were very white but also deep. I loved playing with them, tracing them with my fingers or tongue.
Her nipples were big and dark, the areolas seeming to get bigger by the day, and the love bumps, the Montgomery Glands, more prominent. As the areolas got darker, the ring of hair around them got thicker and darker.
That weird hair growth provided us with conversation and laughs.
The line down her neck was now almost to her shoulder blades and luxuriant and, contrasting with the hair on her head, it was straight and fine. Those patches on the insides of her thighs were coarse and thick and curly. I liked it all.
Some mornings I would wake and find a single hair, very thick, wiry, hell, they looked like they would conduct electricity, growing from odd places. Once it grew from the bottom of her earlobe. Once right in the middle of her chin. Once, and I left this one, right out of the middle of her belly button.
She kept putting on weight too. She was complaining about the "baby fat" regularly, but I kept reminding her that women are
supposed
to be soft and round. And she did look damn good. Her thighs put on enough weight that she developed a clear chubrub, semicircles right at the tops of her thighs where they rubbed together. The skin was darker and thicker, almost leathery, but oddly sensitive when I tickled or kissed or licked.
And I tickled and kissed and licked a lot. As her control over our relationship grew she discovered the joys of having her daddy/husband on his knees before her. And I discovered the joys of giving her what she wanted.
