Burst Into Flames

How Come Your Dreams Are Always So Bitter

"We have to get blue! It's a boy, damn it!" I nearly yelled at Tony.

He shook his head, "All I'm saying is we don't know for sure right now, why can't we get green or something? We could do turtle theme!" His face lit up.

I rolled my eyes and placed a hand on my growing stomach. The pregnancy hormones were making me bitchy, "Fine, green. We can give the room a theme once we find out the gender, though." I said, rubbing small circles over where the baby had kicked last.

He smiled, pecking my lips, "You're the best."

I laughed, pushing the cart, "I know."

We turned down the next aisle, Vic was standing there with Jaime. "So, what color did you decide on?" Jaime asked, pulling out his phone to reply to a text

"We're thinking green right now," Tony said, giving my hand a squeeze.

"Turtles?" Vic asked, putting some toy back on the shelf.

"Most likely," I said, leaning onto Tony for support. My ankles were already swollen and uncomfortable, even at six months.

"You okay?" He whispered into my ear, putting an arm over my shoulder.

I nodded, "Ankles."

He gave me an 'I'm sorry' look, but I just smiled and laced my fingers between his, "Are you ready to go home?" He asked.

I felt a slight shiver travel down my spine at those words. Tony and I had bought a house together, making sure it was walking distance from Vic's. I nodded, walking slowly to try and alleviate some of the pain.

"Hey, guys. We're gonna go ahead and pay for this stuff." Tony said, taking control of the cart.

"Okay. Hey! We're having a cookout later, Arietta's gonna be there." Jaime said.

"Okay, we'll be there." Tony said.

"Lise, wake up." I heard Tony whisper, kissing his was down my jawline.

I rubbed my eyes, looking over at him.

"Good afternoon, beautiful." He said, kissing me on the lips.

I unbuckled my seat belt, stretching before I got out, "Did I sleep the whole ride home?"

He chuckled, "Yup. You have a cute snore."

I felt my face heat up, "Thanks, I guess."

He laughed again, throwing the keys to me so I could go unlock the door. I held it open for Tony, whose arms were full of bags, "Thanks," He said, smiling and a little out of breath.

I walked in after him, following him to the room we'd designated as the nursery, "This is perfect." I sighed.

He turned around and wrapped me in his arms, "This is paradise."

I kissed him. It wasn't a sweet, delicate kiss. It was a hormone driven one. He stiffened a little in shock, but warmed up fast. I pulled him by his collar to our room across the hall, never breaking the kiss.

"What's gotten into you?" He asked, voice thick.

I almost purred, "I don't know, baby, but I need you."

He smiled and took off his shirt, reattaching his lips to mine. I could feel the intensity growing, the kiss turning urgent. My dress was next, then my bra. Tony looked down at me, "You're perfect, you know that?" He kissed down my neck and stomach.

I moaned quietly, "You are."

He brought his lips back to mine. I flipped us over so I was on top, straddling him. He flashed me a smile before pulling his pants down. I nibbled on his ear, signaling that he needed to hurry up.

He let out a growl, rolling over so he was on top again. I pulled down my underwear, "Come on!" I whined.

He laughed, positioning himself, "Wait, how long has it been since we last had sex?" He asked.

I knew it was a way for him to stall, teasing me, "Like, three weeks maybe?"

His eyes widened, "Wow."

I grabbed his hair and pulled his lips to mine, "Fuck me, Antonio."

He pressed his lips down, going in full speed. I let out a loud moan and bit his lip, "Good enough, Elise?"

I matched his thrusts, "Hardly."

He smiled, picking up the pace. My legs started shaking as my climax approached, "How about now?" He whispered seductively in my ear.

I nodded, clawing at his back, "S-stop." I said.

"What? Why?" He slowed down, but didn't stop.

"Never mind!" I yelled out, thrusting myself onto him.

He let out a throaty moan, "Fuck, Lise."

I felt myself starting to lose my grip, going over. He came shortly after I did, "Wow." I said.

He pulled me onto his chest, kissing my cheek, "Yeah, wow." My eyes fluttered shut, "So, I take it we're not going to Jaime's cook out?"

I shrugged, snuggling into Tony's chest, "I'm tired, baby."

He rubbed circles onto the side of my stomach, "I love you."

"I love you, too."
