Chapter Chapter Sixty - Six
Danica's excitement washed the backache she felt when Loney arrived. Herty had spent a lot of time with her till the latter had gone to sleep in Danica's room. Loney knew how to soothe her backache and swollen legs. Most times soaking her legs in warm water, he will kneel and kiss her bump, resting his head and listening to his child's heartbeat. The baby nonetheless was sure to send some kicks, showing him that he was faring well.
"How are you today?" He said gently to her while hugging her from the back. Danica had dished out his food on a plate which he took from her to the dining table after giving her a passionate kiss.
"I'm happy that you are here," Danica confessed as she followed him to the dining room. Loney sat on the chair and beckoned her to sit on his lap while he ate. In her state, he has kicked against her waiting for him to eat together and for the sake of her unborn child, she obliged. Her right hand snaked behind his back while he ate. Loney loved the feel of her arms around him and smiled in gratitude. Danica had a way of easing the fatigue he brought home. The mere sight of her was enough to keep him refreshed and rejuvenated.
"I just have a few more things to round up and then I will spend a lot more time with you and our unborn child okay?" Danica nodded her head in affirmation as Loney asked after swallowing the food in his mouth, "Has he been a good boy today?"
"Very good," she nodded, rubbing her left hand on her bump, while her right hand remained firmly around his neck.
"That's wonderful and just to let you know I'll go and visit Paul tomorrow. It's just two hours away." Loney paused on his food as if contemplating whether or not he should tell her the sad news. He dropped his spoon and lowered his head. "His mum passed away." Loney's voice was laced with remorse, Danica was saddened.
"That's unfortunate," she whispered, instantly recalling when she lost her parents. Her eyes welled up but she fought the tears from falling.
"Yes, but she's very old. The doctors did everything possible. It's her time, I think." Loney thoughtfully said as Danica caressed his hair soothingly. "Paul is strong, he will get over it," She tried to comfort him while suppressing her own emotions.
"I know. I'm just saddened because it reminds us that nobody will live forever."
"That is a natural truth." Danica supported him. Loney pushed the empty plate away gently and faced her completely. "Anyway, how is your backache?"
Danica smiled sweetly, circling her arms tightly around his neck. "Still the same. I don't expect it to get better anyway. It's just difficult to sleep," she pouted.
Loney brushed his finger around her lips seductively, it sent shivers down her spine. Then he moved his hand, circling it around her bump. "I think I know how to get you to sleep." His voice was alluring, Danica felt her nipple harden. She has been more sensitive throughout her pregnancy.
"And what is that?" She asked, her breath heavy.
"A passionate lovemaking," Loney whispered in her ear, His lips brushing her ear lobe. Danica felt hot, her walls tightened, her juices gushing out, she felt wet. Every day that she saw him, she fell in love all over again. Before she responded, he captured her soft rosy lips in his warm moist mouth, kissing her passionately. "I love you so much." He whispered after breaking from the kiss.
"I love you too," Danica responded, disappointed that he stopped.
Loney runs his hands through her long hair, reaching her scalp. He caressed her hair, resting his head gently on her bump while she sat on his lap. "I will be there with you in the labour ward okay?" "You promise?" Danica knew how busy he was and besides, no one knew the exact moment she might be in labour. It could happen before the two weeks or even after so what if Loney was busy then? "I promise." He assured her. He knew that he would sacrifice any and everything to be by her side at the critical moment. He will share in her pain, in any way he could.
He kissed her again and stopped. "I can't stop if I continue. You look stunning even with your bump, I feel like eating you."
Danica smiled shyly, her cheeks reddening in response to Loney's flattering words. "But I don't want you to stop," she pressed closer to him.
Loney's lips stretched into a smile. He wanted her but he never wanted to be selfish. He always wanted it to be a mutual need and agreement. "Let me shower then," he kissed her again as he said. "I haven't showered too. I've been waiting for you." Danica blurted, embarrassment washing her.
Loney knew what she meant. She had been waiting for them to shower together and of course, a lot happens anytime they shower together. "Hmmm. Naughty naughty Danica," he teased as he poked her nose gently.
In the bathtub, Loney caressed her skin with soap, his hands moving in circular motions around her back to her breast, then her bump. Danica moaned when Loney's hands touched her nipple, making him capture it in his mouth, as he slid a finger in and out of her wet walls. Danica moaned, pleasure sipping through her at every movement, her warm release coated Loney's finger, instantly washed by the warm water.
The orgasm relaxed her body, getting her ready to sleep. However, after they showered, Loney didn't allow her to put on any clothing. He sat her on the sofa, spread her legs wide and went on his knees. He held her hips firmly, flicked his tongue teasingly at the entrance of her pussy, before plunging into her wet walls. Danica arched her back, as the heat of pleasure shot through her. She moaned, even as Loney took his time to make her both relaxed and tired enough to rest her body.
His hands travelled to her breast, caressing the left, then to the right. It wasn't long before Danica began to tremble as the pleasure continued to course through her body. She was tired when Loney carried her to the bed but just as he laid her down, she felt his hard member on her and realized how selfish she had been. She couldn't allow him to endure that pain. "My turn," she whispered, as she pushed Loney onto his back.
Then she climbed on top of him, her already wet core, stretched and lubricated to accommodate his size. He moaned as her walls tightened around his hard member. She began to move her waist gently in upward and downward movement.
He wiggled his hand around her waist, helping her with the harmonious movement, as he moved his waist to match the rhythm of hers. She moans as every thrust hits her G-spot. Loney growled, his body began to vibrate, just as Danica began to tremble and as if on cue, they came together, panting, tired and spent, they slept in each other's arms.
Danica was still asleep when Loney left the next morning. He remembered to adjust the AC and covered her with a duvet, leaving instructions for Mabel and Herty not to wake her. She needed the rest and he was glad he made her sleep peacefully without tossing and turning in bed due to her back pains.

Loney got to the church in time for the burial ceremony of Paul's mother. Paul was comforting his two teenage sisters as the coffin was lowered to the ground. He hadn't noticed Loney at church and even at the burial ground. He was too grieved, not because of his loss but because of certain things his mother said before passing away. It wasn't the first time she said those things but it kind of tickled more around this time.
Loney stared at Paul and shook his head. He knew that Paul needed to be with his sisters at this point therefore he had no intention of taking him away from them. He walked closer before Paul noticed him, breaking from the hug.
"You didn't have to come, Loney." Paul forced a smile but the sadness was dominant on his features.
"What happened to friendship?" Loney countered, just as he pulled Paul into a strong embrace.
"Thank you," Paul said after pulling from the hug. "You remember Mia and Sandra?" He asked, his gaze on his sisters, who waved shyly at Loney.
"How on earth would I forget? They've grown prettier and taller from the last time I saw them," Loney recalled. Paul's sisters giggled.
"Please walk with me," Paul said almost in a whisper and began walking away from his sister and the guests. "Have you been able to find out anything yet?" He asked.
"No, I think someone is covering her tracks but I will find the person," Loney spoke with certainty. He knew Paul was talking about Daniella.
"I will give it more attention when I return," Paul assured him. He wanted nothing more than closure on the whole thing but Loney had other plans for him.
"No, you are not returning. They need you."
Paul knew that Loney was talking about his sisters. "They can take care of themselves. They are thirteen and fifteen. Besides, my auntie is there."
"What about Herty?" Loney didn't want to intrude in Paul's personal affairs but at this moment, he felt the need to because his friend has been lonely for a few years now.
"She reminds me too much about my mum so I just want to stay away from her for now," Paul lowered his head and said.
Loney frowned, concern written on his features. "I can see your heart bleeding as you utter those words."
"She won't meet or see me anywhere except in church and I've vowed not to enter one." Paul's phone began to ring and he took it out of his suit pocket. "Talk of the devil. Why is she calling me?" He asked, looking at the screen questioning.
Loney frowned. Something told him to check his phone as well. "I think you should answer the call." Loney removes his phone just as Paul answers his call, surprised to see so many missed calls from Herty. She must have wanted to speak with him and was not able to so she called Paul.
Loney had a feeling that it might concern Danica. His gaze matched Paul's which sent terrifying shivers down his spine as Paul yelled,
"WHAT? We are coming over." He turned to Loney and said, "We have to go. Danica was kidnapped at the mall."000
