On the last night of our trip, when we were in Kyoto, j.a.pan, there was not much else for us to do after visiting the garden so we just went back to our hotel. We were staying in a hot springs resort with a private bath. I was quite enjoying our time in j.a.pan so far. The food was great, the sites were spectacular, and then there was seeing Casey in a traditional kimono that we rented from the front desk at our resort.
We had been enjoying a dinner that had been brought to our room by the exceptionally friendly staff. The night was going great and I couldn't wait to get into the hot springs. I knew that they were going to be wonderful and relaxing. Not to mention, that I would get to see Casey naked in the water. We had been sleeping together regularly of course, but she seemed apprehensive about bathing together.
When the food was cleared away by the staff and a lazy sort of atmosphere settled over the room I smiled at Casey, my wife.
"Would you like to soak in the water?" I asked her. I knew she had been looking forward to this but was also apprehensive.
"Together?"
"Of course." I smiled at her. "It will be more fun that way."
"OK." She smiled and finally agreed.
The kimono took a little time to remove, but I enjoyed the slow reveal of her exquisite body. With slow, hesitating movements, layer by layer, Casey showed me the body that I loved so much.
After a few more minutes, when we were both stripped and rinsed off we stepped into the hot water. It felt so wonderful to soak in the tub and relax after the whirlwind of our vacation.
Casey had sat across from me so that she could look at me while we soaked. Now that wouldn't do, would it? I moved closer to her and sat right by her side.
"Cedar?" She sounded nervous. I know she knew what was on my mind.
"What?" I asked her in as innocent of a tone as I could muster.
"Don't what me, what do you think you are doing?"
"I am getting closer to my wife. What does it look like?"
I slid an arm around her back and pulled slightly. With that movement I lifted Casey from the ledge-like seat she was balanced on and took her place. After I was in place I settled her on my lap so that she was facing me.
"You are such a perv." She giggled at me once she was seated on top of me.
"Is it pervy to want to touch and look at the most beautiful woman I've ever seen? Especially if that woman is my wife and mate?"
"No, that's not the pervy part. What you have planned next is." She giggled and leaned forward to gently kiss my lips.
"And what do I have planned?" I gave her an impish look.
"Oh, you know." She grinned as she put her hands on my shoulders and rose above me. "It's exactly what I knew would happen if we came in here together" She was positioning herself so that my erection was pressing against her opening.
"You knew it would happen, huh?" I asked her as she slowly settled herself down, sliding down my shaft until she reached the hilt.
The feeling of her tight body wrapped around me was pure bliss. The way her core hugged and quivered around my erection was its own kind of amazing that I didn't think anything could ever match.
"G.o.ddess, I love you." I growled the words out as I gripped her hips with a biting force. If she were human she would have bruises for a few days, but they will fade away long before the morning.
I used the grip on her hips to lift her off of me and slam her back down.
"NGH!" She moaned loudly with just the first thrust. I set about creating a mind blowing rhythm after that. I needed to feel her more and more and I could tell she needed this too. The two of us were already panting hard and moaning with pleasure as I lifted her up and pulled her down against my thrusting hips.
My instincts were taking over for me. My wolf was coming out and he was telling me that I needed to bite my mate. I hadn't marked her yet and he was not happy about that. On instinct I leaned forward and sunk my elongated teeth into the soft and tender flash of her neck and shoulder.
I felt the power, the heat that rushed from my body into Casey's. The feeling of it made our union so much more special. And I didn't let go of her flesh until the both of us had come screaming each other's name a long while later.
I had carried the limp Casey out of the water and into our futons that were laying on the floor. It was a wonderful night. And what made the night that much better was that I woke to the tickling of a new scent in my nose. A scent that was more sweet than the floral scent I was used to from Casey.
I knew what that scent meant. Casey was pregnant. She was going to have a baby. We were starting our family already.
"Casey?" I breathed her name softly yet excitedly.
"What's the matter Cedar?" She stretched while I held her in my arms.
"We're having a baby." I grinned at her.
"Wait, really?" She was smiling at me happily.
"Yup." I kissed her softly on the tip of her nose.

ALMOST SIX MONTHS LATER

Casey's family had been happy to find out that we were expecting. My mom and dad were happy to be having their first set of grandchildren. Juniper laughed at me and told me I hadn't wasted any time huh. But Juniper couldn't say anything for long. She was soon expecting a set of twins herself. She was due less than a month after Casey was. With so many new babies coming you can imagine that everyone was excitedly offering to help us all out.
I would take that help too. I didn't know much about raising a baby. Not to mention just one baby was bad enough, but we were having three at once. And even though I hadn't really told my sister this, I was happy that her babies and my babies would be so close in age. I had quite enjoyed my life as a twin and liked growing up with someone there for me at all times. Now my kids didn't just have their siblings to turn to, they also had their cousins. I hoped to become the best father and the best uncle that I could be.
We had gotten married in the middle of April. We had left for our honeymoon right before the start of May. Just before June we found out we were pregnant. Now, it was November eighteenth and Casey had been on bed rest for the last month and a half.
Why was she on bed rest? Because we were having triplets and if she didn't rest then she risked having the babies too soon. As it was we were still almost two weeks away from the due date. The babies didn't care about that though because Casey's water had just broken.
I was a frantic mess while for some reason she was as calm as could be. I was running the bags out to the car while she just sat there and told me what to do. While I was moving frantically I couldn't help but think about when we had moved in here, not to mention when we had built our house. We had picked a secluded spot in Reece's new community. There were still a lot of trees in the lot but we didn't care. We used our combined magic that dealt with trees to reshape those trees into a beautiful house. All we needed was to add windows, carpeting, and furniture.
We had built our beautiful s.p.a.cious ten bedroom home ourselves. Because we didn't have to worry about construction costs it was easy for us to manage. We also weren't certain if we would ever end up with more kids so we wanted to have lots of s.p.a.ce.
Now though, we were about to welcome the first additions to our family. Two boys and a girl that were to be named Beech, Cypress, and Ashle.
Casey went into the delivery room and had all three babies naturally, with no pain killers. That is something that I could be proud of her for and made me know that she was the strongest person I had ever met.
When the babies were born I couldn't help but fall in love immediately. My children were beautiful like their mother and I felt my heart swelling with love and protectiveness for them. We were going to be one big happy family from now on.
