  "writing": "[b]Saturday, 6:35 am at the Babylon Luxury Hotel, Westopolis\n[/b](Shadow’s POV)\n\nI laid in a queen sized bed in one of the most luxurious hotels owned by our company wearing nothing but a white dress shirt that didn’t belong to me, rather, it belonged to the very first man who took my virginity: Darius, my boss, my stepfather, as well as my uncle.\n\nHe’s currently doing his usual morning rituals in the restroom right now while I sit here in the bed, waiting for him to return. Truth to be told, every time he leaves me here in bed, I always feel a sense of longing to be in those strong arms again and I am thankful that I have at least his dress shirt with me that’s still enveloped with his scent from the wild passionate night we had last night. \n\nFrom time to time, I find myself sniffing the dress shirt where the scent of his expensive perfume and musk lingered. That mere soft fabric stirred so much in me, giving me an urge to lie down and get lost in the feeling of being cocooned in his scent. \n\nIt’s truly pleasant and it gives me the feeling that he’s just next to me but it’s only adding to my burden especially when it makes me feel wet down in between my legs. \n\nChaos, even his scent is tantalizing enough to make me wet.\n\nThis isn’t the first time we have been intimate, though.\n\nAfter my first encounter with him at the office building just two months ago, a dangerous romantic liaison formed between us. Every Friday night after work, Darius and I would spend a night together in the presidential suite of his hotel. Not only is it considered taboo to sleep with my own blood relative but also the fact that I have fallen into the grasp of temptation by secretly becoming my stepfather’s mistress behind my mother’s back. \n\nWhat made things even more complicated is what happened after that first encounter. \n\nMy gaze went on a small bump on my tummy that’s still barely evident to the untrained eye. So far, only Darius and I know about this. At first, I didn’t believe that I would get pregnant after that night in the office but that assumption was proven wrong when the pregnancy test confirmed that I am indeed carrying his child.\n\nRight now, I’m almost reaching my 2nd month of pregnancy and that didn’t stop us from seeing each other and being intimate like this. I have kept my pregnancy a secret from the rest of our family but I have no doubts that they would find out about this soon enough when I start showing. \n\nAt first, I was really scared thinking that it’s a sin to carry the child born from an extra-marital affair as well as a child of my own relative, however, during the time of my first prenatal visit, I instantly fell in love with my unborn baby from the very first time I had my first ultrasound and no words could describe how happy I was upon hearing the baby’s strong heartbeat through a Fetal Doppler; a very good indication that I am carrying a healthy little bundle inside me.\n\nThat made me realize that I was carrying a blessing rather than a mistake.\n\nI propped myself up with pillows against the headboard and gently rubbed my barely visible bump with a smile.\n\n[i]‘I can’t wait to meet you soon…’ \n[/i]\n\nI sighed and thought about how this baby would be like once it’s born. Although it’s still too early to tell the gender yet, I have a feeling that this would be a girl because of the gentle aura it has within me.\n\nI curled up on my side to savor the scent of my lover’s dress shirt once more but I got distracted when he finally got out of the restroom with only his slacks on.\n\nThe sight of him immediately made me sat up from the bed just to see him smirking at me. That gesture alone instantly made my muzzles blush. He must’ve seen me sniffing his dress shirt and seeing me wearing it while doing it probably set some sparks in him.\n\n“Even after last night you still can’t get enough of me, Shadow?” he teased and crossed his arms.\n\n“Don’t be so full of yourself. It’s…it’s nothing like that,” I quickly denied but the blush on my face is telling him a different thing. \n\n“Stubborn as always.” He walked a bit closer, crawled in the bed towards me and pushed me down until my back is touching the mattress while he towered above me with his intimidating gaze.\n\nHis hand strokes my muzzle in a loving manner and the feeling sent shivers all over my spine. His identical icy blue eyes stared at me from above as I laid there with my muzzles glowing red as the red streaks that lined my dark, upturned quills. \n\nEven if I have done this with him a lot of times, I could still feel my body shudder every time he demonstrates his dominating behavior like this. It makes me feel safe at the same time anxious for what he’s about to do. \n\n“You’re quite tense. Are you frightened?” he asked with a seductive grin and I responded by shyly shaking my head in disagreement.\n \n“W-why would I be frightened?” I lifted a brow at him that simply made him chuckle in response.\n\n“You’re giving me a look as if I’m going to bite you.” He cupped my muzzles with his hand and dipped his head down until our lips are only a few inches away from touching, “Don’t worry, I don’t bite that hard.”\n\nHe met my lips in a passionate lip lock. I could feel his hand gently caressing my body in every, treasuring every crevice in my body as if I’m a precious luxurious ornament that’s worth a million. \n\nEver since I got pregnant, I noticed a sudden change in my physique. Not only has my muzzles became more rounded and chubby but my once slender form has gotten curvier and more feminine as well. Not to mention that my hips have widened and my thighs are much fuller than before. This is one of the reasons why Darius finds me more irresistible than before after noticing that we’ve been spending nights in this hotel more frequently compared before. \n\nA faint moan escaped my throat when he decided to leave my lips to assault my neck, taking in my scent and savoring it first before landing his lips to trail warm and moist fiery kisses along the way while his hand stroke the insides of my thighs. \n\nHe’s a warm and passionate lover in bed but a cold-hearted CEO in the company building. How someone with such a cold and icy gaze be emitting such warmth is purely ironic.\n\nHis hand made its way to the small bump in my belly and gently rubbed it through the dress shirt that I wore. The feeling eventually made me yelp in surprise. \n\n“Is there something wrong?” his head shot up to look at me, a hint of confusion is evident in his eyes, wondering why a mere gesture of brushing his hand on my baby bump gave such a reaction from me but all I did was give him another excuse to be amused when I felt my muzzles warming up. \n\nEvery time he brushes a hand on my pregnant belly, he always makes me feel jumpy and a little bit embarrassed.\n\n“Nothing. It’s just that…I feel very sensitive there,” I lowered my voice, embarrassed about stating my current feeling at the moment. \n\n“I see.” He just brushed my statement aside and continued to caress my pregnant belly despite of my protests. \n“Darius!” I called out to him both in annoyance and embarrassment.\n\n“Pardon my persistence but…It’s been a while since I last felt…life growing inside,” he gave a barely visible charming smile that made me feel guilty for snapping at him. \n\nMy annoyance and embarrassment diminished and I found myself warming up to his touches. After Maria died, he had never been the same. He found himself getting lost, focusing merely on his work, drowning himself in alcohol every night and seeing different women just to hide from the loneliness of losing his precious little girl. \n\nDarius, the influential CEO who everyone thinks that has everything that anyone could ever ask for is one damaged man on the inside. If I haven’t come into his life, who knows what life could have been for him.\n\nHe would keep on maintaining a strong and powerful facade as he slowly dies on the inside. Life may give you everything but there will always be something that you’ll lack.  In his case, he lacks a stable relationship because not only did his wife, my mother, cheated on him but also the fact that I was born from that mistake. \nI’m a walking reminder of that mistake and ironically, he’s literally embracing that mistake with open arms as if he has already accepted it in some way. \n\nSomehow, helping him fight his loneliness away by becoming one of his late-night escapades is eating me inside. Truth to be told, I could never get tired of this if it weren’t for that guilt of betraying my own mother like this. Every night we spend time together, the deeper the guilt roots itself at the back of my mind, giving me a slight nudge that tells me that whatever it is that we are doing is sinful beyond words but that root of guilt was often pulled out from its roots whenever his lips connect to mine.\n\nIt’s like every sin is instantly washed away by that simple gesture alone. If having relations with my stepfather is punishable by death, I’d probably be buried in the ground by now along with him. \n\n“S-sounds convincing…” I muttered and found myself smiling as well. Perhaps I’ll get used to him doing this to my belly in time. \n\nHe sighed and pulled me along with him until I was the one straddling his waist on top of him.\n\n“I love that dress shirt in you, by the way,” he complimented in his calm and alluring voice then I felt his hand teasingly stroking my thighs until one of them reached up towards the hem of the shirt and slowly pushing it up.\n\n“But I think that would suit the floor even better,” he teasingly said that made my muzzles burn.\n\n“Y-you want me to take it off?” I shyly asked as my fingers fondled with the buttons and he just responded with an encouraging smirk.\n\nFrom that alone, I immediately know what he wanted. \n\nWithout saying a word, my fingers hastily did its best to unbutton every button in the dress shirt I wore but he halted me with a hand on my wrist.\n\n“Slowly…” he calmly uttered and I immediately complied but not after blushing intensely at his command.\nI slowly undid each button. With every button I undo, the wider his smirk became. \n\nI feel like a stripper trying to please his customer but instead of feeling ashamed, I sort of feel good doing it before him. What made this more preferable is the boost of confidence I feel whenever I hint a gleam of affirmation from my lover’s eyes. \n\nAs I got the buttons undone, I pulled the dress shirt off my shoulders and threw it on the floor, exposing my naked form fully before him that he had already seen a lot of times. Although it was cold in the room, I could feel both of our bodies burning from the heat that we both started. My wetness bathed his crotch but beneath the slacks he wore, I could feel something hard already pressing against my folds.\n\n“Satisfied?” I asked him in a sarcastic and playful manner and he responded by once again lovingly stroking my pregnancy bump with a barely visible smile and eyes filled with adoration towards the little one that nestled in my womb. \n\nHis child. Our child. The child that might somehow fill the gap inside of the emptiness that resided within our hearts. \n\n“Darius?” I called out his attention and he immediately feigned a disappointed look.\n\n“I…I mean hardly. You know what satisfies me more?” he deftly pushed me on my side and rolled on top of me. “You screaming my name.”\n\nMy eyes shot wide in shock at his suggestive remark and before I could even speak, I felt his hand sensually squeezing my thigh.\n\n“You letch!” I snapped at him but he merely responded by capturing my lips in a heated lip lock that eventually dragged me along with him.\n\nDespite the protest a few moments ago, here I am completely surrendering myself to temptation once again. \nWho am I to deny such a wonderful feeling? \n\nMy heart furiously started beating inside my chest with extreme longing. With my hormones skyrocketing coupled with his constant teasing, I’d be crazy to refuse his advances. \n\nI pulled him close and ran my hand on his quills while his hand began to brush further upward between my legs and without hesitation, I lifted a leg a little further to give him enough room to move a few more inches until I felt his fingertips reaching my core. \n\nHe traced his skilled fingers on my feminine folds to facilitate my wetness but often intentionally bypassing the most sensitive nub in between them just to tease me.\n\nI broke the kiss and stared at him in complete exasperation. \n\n“Stop teasing me,” I whined impatiently and he just continued his little game of torture by merely playing with my folds as though he didn’t hear me say a word.\n\n“Please,” I finally found the strength to beg, trying my best in moving my thighs so his fingers would at least hit my clit but it didn’t work at all. It only made me feel frustrated. However, the more he does it, the more the wetness dripped in between my legs.  \n\n“Damn it, just touch me there already!” I exclaimed, letting my frustrations known and he just gave me one sly look.\n\n“Only if you say my name,” he continued to torment me while I just helplessly moaned beneath him. He’s driving me crazy and I don’t think I would be able to take it much longer.\n\nMy breathing intensified both from the teasing and the frustration and just as I was about to utter a curse at him, he gently ran a finger in between my slit that made me gasp loudly in delight. \n\n“Oh Darius!” I eventually moaned his name from that slight touch as I felt a sudden jolt enveloping my whole body. \n\n“Good boy,” he praised and gave me a passionate kiss that made my body shiver then he broke it to focus more into his teasing.\n\nHe fulfilled my wish when his finger rubbed teasingly on the tip of my clit until he finally found that certain spot in it that makes me lose my breath and my body melt. “Darius…that feels good,” I squirmed beneath him as a new wave of pleasure surge inside me. “Oh, don’t stop,” I begged, biting my lip to desperately keep myself from loudly moaning my heart out. \n\n“Oh I would most certainly not because I want to hear you moan for me more. It will make it easier for me to fuck the living daylights out of you, too, my little prey.”\n\nHis way of talking is strangely turning me on especially knowing how proper and well-refined he is. \n\nThe more his hands lingered in my core, the more the speed of his teasing fingers change and I felt his fondling becoming rougher compared before. Breathless moans and pants escaped me that it’s becoming harder for me to breathe.\n\nFinally, he dipped two of his fingers inside my wet opening and started pumping them in and out of me while his other hand gently stroke my curvy thighs before resting it on the top of my belly, stroking it from time to time like he’s truly fascinated with the life growing inside of me. \n\n“Why do you keep on tormenting me like this?” I panted, feeling jolts of pleasure every time his fingers slip in and out of me. I could feel my own body involuntarily humping down for more stimulation.\n\n“Because I want to,” he simply replied in a smirk. “But most of all, because I really enjoy seeing you wriggling helplessly beneath me. It’s a guilty pleasure, I might add.”\n\nHe loves seeing me in my most vulnerable state, something that I rarely show with the people around me. Just like him. We are so alike in a lot of ways which is why that similarity led to this sinful act of intimacy. \n\nFeeling guilt once again taking over me, I grunted and just pulled him closer to me so we could share another deep kiss just to forget all about it and he kissed back while his tongue explored the warm crevices inside my mouth as he greedily savored my muffled moans.\n\nThe intensity of the pleasurable sensation was too much, I feel like I’m going insane already. \n\nMy mind already felt hazy and all I could think about is this delectable feeling of his fingers stretching my tight entrance. It’s good, so good that I couldn’t help but shut my eyes tightly just to concentrate in that wonderful feeling until I feel a familiar coil of release building in my stomach. \n\n“D-Darius, I’m close,” I whimpered. “Please don’t make me cum yet. I want you inside me,” I did my best to fight the urge to give in to my release. I want to keep this feeling dragging for as long as I can until he finishes inside me. I want to feel him inside of me and I want him to shoot every pint of his warm load within me. \n\nHe stopped his fondling in my nether regions when my hands fumbled on his slacks in anticipation and he chuckled upon noticing my gesture.\n\n“You want me?” he asked in his husky voice; an alluring smirk forming on his thin lips and I responded with a nod while facing him with a seductive smile as I bit my lip in eagerness. “Tell me how much you want me?” he only prolonged the agony by asking me a lot of questions which only made me more sexually frustrated enough to answer back.\n\n“I want you inside me. I want to feel you over and over again.”\n\n“Is that so?” he teasingly bit and pulled my lower lip before giving me another passionate lip lock but he left me whimpering when he immediately pulled away. “I could make you feel that for as long as you live.”\nHe finally complied when he undid the button of his slacks and allowed it to slide on his knees. \n\nThe sight of his long and thick erection before me made my body shiver with need especially at the thought of it deeply inside me. \n\nI gingerly parted my legs and gave him an encouraging smile. That alone was enough to make him slowly bury his length inside my tight opening. My body shivered at the first contact but I soon adjusted to the feeling eventually the more he buries himself deeper into me.   \n\nA loud moan left my throat as my body arched at the sudden ripple of pleasure that enveloped my body when his length finally settled deep within me then he pulled back until the tip of his length was left inside me before thrusting it back into me in a steady and gentle pace, repeatedly burying himself to me over and over again until he settled on a pace that both of us could tolerate. One hand stroke gently at the bump in my stomach while the other caressed my muzzles.\n\nI could feel him, I could feel all of him massaging my insides and it made my body tremble from the unbearable pleasure when all of a sudden, a vision of my mother with a sorrowful and disdained look suddenly made its way into my mind and the sight of it sharply grazed a part of my heart enough to leave me tightly closing my eyes and shaking my head to get rid of that image.\n\n“Shadow?” Darius momentarily stopped and called my attention. His lust-filled gaze was now replaced with apprehensive ones that made me wonder. “Are you in pain?” he asked while his hand stroke my belly, scared that he must have done something to hurt me and our baby. “Did I hurt you in some way?” \n\n“N-no, you didn’t. It’s just that…” I took a deep breath and gazed into his cerulean eyes. “I just feel that something’s not right about this.”\n\n“What do you mean? We’ve been seeing each other like this for a month now,” he’s giving me an indifferent gaze but I could clearly see that he’s puzzled with my words.\n\n“I just feel that we’re betraying mother…I couldn’t stop seeing her every time we…” I paused to avoid his gaze and I was instantly taken aback when he just pulled my muzzles back towards him.\n\n“Shadow, all your mother ever did was make the both of us suffer with her deception and lies. I am trying to forget that just as how I am trying to make you forget it, too. Don’t think that just because we’re doing this is because of merely physical release and nothing more,” he calmly answered with an indifferent look.\n\nMy mouth gaped in response. He left me speechless with his sudden words. All this time, I never thought that he’s capable with such words especially since he likes keeping things to himself. \n\n“Are you saying…that whatever we’re doing right now is driven with the strong feelings we have for each other and not merely an escape to the cruel reality? Because I want you to convince me more.” I felt more than curious to ask and he answered by stroking his hand on my pregnant belly. \n\n“This life growing inside you, isn’t that enough proof? Do I have to prove to you every day how much you matter to me? Because I’m willing to do that in a heartbeat if that would be the only way to convince you.” \n\nHis words literally made me tear up a bit, feeling my heart overflowing with feelings I never knew I deserve; the feeling of being valuable in somebody else’s eyes. Hearing this from a man who I used to believe who only cares for himself and his company is truly unexpected and it’s enough to make a tear escape from my lids but before it could even trickle down my muzzles, he immediately wiped it with his thumb. \n\n“You’re…willing to do that for me? I…didn’t expect that you would…say such words,” I spoke to break the silence.\n\n“Love knows no boundaries,” he said that made my heart flutter as well as making my eyes widened in bewilderment. “Je t’ai toujours aimé (I’ve always loved you). Je t'ai toujours aimée, désirée, et je ne peux pas vivre sans toi. (I have always loved you, desired you, and I cannot imagine living without you).”\n\nDid he just confessed his love for me?\n\nDarius isn’t really good with expressing his feelings through words and I could definitely empathize with him on that but hearing him speak it in a different language that both of us knew made it even sound deeper and more sincere.  \n\nTruth to be told, I didn’t expect Darius would consider love as a commodity that he desires at all. I see him merely using sex as a form of release and nothing more.\n\nI can’t believe I was so wrong to assume that especially with the words he just told me. This is a side of him that I rarely see. Darius isn’t really an affectionate man like most people would think but just being able to witness this side of him is making me feel butterflies in my stomach. \n\n“Wha—“ he didn’t let me finish when he ended my quest for words with another deep and passionate kiss that instantly washed my burdens away at the same time, convincing me that he is sincere with his words. I suddenly felt more empowered that I pulled him close and tightly held unto him like I don’t want to let him go anymore and the next thing I know, I was moaning in ecstatic frenzy in his mouth when he started to move his hips again, continuing where he left off. \n\nI wrapped my strong legs around his waist to push him deeper inside me as my tightness desperately held unto him like it wanted him to stay there for good. My eyes closed as I lost myself in pleasure especially when he angled himself to hit the most sensitive spot inside of me again and again like he already knows where it is due to our frequent intimate sessions.\n\n“You’re different, Shadow,” he huskily whispered in my ear as he continued to thrust his length into me in a loving and gentle pace. “You’re different because you’re special to me. If Mobius is a jungle, you’re the rarest creature that everybody wants to tame.”\n\nI couldn’t even respond anymore from the exquisite sensation he’s showering me with but every word that came out of his mouth made me feel so much bliss. To top it all that, everything he’s doing brought my body to a heated frenzy. Feeling that the pleasure is starting to engulf me, one of my hand desperately clung to him while the other clutched his quills tightly that caused him to growl.\n\nHe then ushered me to get on my knees and like any obedient boy, I did what I was told. His hands cupped my curvy rear and raised it then I finally felt him slipped between my wetness. A gasp left my lips when he plunged into my heat, I squeezed my eyes shut at the impact and yet a familiar heat rushed into my body at the feeling of his strong hands kneading my thighs as he braced himself with every thrust. \n\nHe leaned and held unto me, his feral grunts and groans getting louder with each thrust as I moaned his name like it was a prayer. I could feel my heart pounding inside my chest. I was dazed and a huge rush of mixed emotions filled me. \n\nI felt his warm breath burning against my neck and it was soon replaced with fiery kisses before it turned into gentle biting that made me whimper in response. It always turns me on whenever he does that to my neck and I really like it when he does it but as always, I am one stubborn hedgehog to even admit that. I guess I am somehow grateful for his persistence.  \n\nA sheen of sweat covered my body and I could almost feel my arms giving up on me but I did my best to keep myself stable as my body submitted to my need and from my lover’s intense pummeling as his hands stroke my belly like it was one of his prized possessions. \n\nSomehow, the more he does it, the more I don’t feel much embarrassed about it anymore. Instead, I wanted him to stroke it to his heart’s content. I want him to feel that the child I’m carrying right now is proof that I am willing to be with him through thick and thin.\n\nHis length inside me throbbed and ached for release while my walls clenched tightly around him as though begging him to give in to his release. We are almost there but I didn’t want this to end yet, not just yet, and he didn’t want to as well but as always, there’s always an end to everything. \n\nHeavy breaths and groans resonated around the room coupled with moans of undying pleasure; most of them coming from me. He continued to rub my belly in his most affectionate way but I got startled when he leaned over once more and took my face with his hand to bring his lips into mine. As our tongues did their sensual dance, our bodies basked in the ambiance of a lust filled inferno.\n\nHe soon broke the kiss and nuzzled himself on the back of my neck then he slid a hand in my front and fondled the bead of sensitive flesh in between my folds that literally set my core on fire. \n\n“Darius,” I moaned his name and finally getting used to letting it slip from my lips from time to time. As he often implies, he really is a generous man for letting me feel tenfold of the pleasure he’s feeling. \n\nBlood rushed to my head and I could feel an intense heat radiating inside my body. I’m getting close and I could no longer contain it.\n\n“Shadow…” His voice was hoarse and from the sound of it, he’s fighting the urge to let himself go. “I’m close.” \n\n“Me too…Do it! I…I want all of it inside me,” I begged with my voice strained for holding back a moan just to tell him what I want. \n\nHis thrusts were getting faster and intense but he still kept himself under control so as not to harm the little bundle inside me. He’s sending my whole body into overdrive and after a few more thrusts, he sent both of us to the edge. \n\nHe buried himself inside me deeply and filled me up to the brim with his warm and hot load that once brought the little bundle in my belly to life. I slammed my hand on the sheets and fisted it tightly as the feeling of release sent my whole body clenching in pleasure. The powerful orgasm rocked my entire body like it just experienced the strongest magnitude of an earthquake. My arms buckled and I felt myself sinking forward that my arms are already braced against the bed. \n\nMy mind started to go blank and all that escaped my mouth is my lover’s name before I felt my body becoming limp from that breathtaking sensation that’s still fresh from my mind.\n\nBoth of us were breathing hard and I could still feel my body trembling from the intense sex we just had. It’s not like it was something new but judging from this encounter, Darius is much affectionate recently compared before which makes me smile for a reason.\n\nWith a soft grunt, he pulled out of me a few moments later and pulled my limp and powerless form with him. \nWe both now laid on our sides, my back against him, his strong arms wrapped around me and his face buried on my neck like he’s savoring my post love-making scent mixing with his own musk. I closed my eyes and savored his warmth enveloping my body as I closed my eyes in complete exhaustion.\n\nHis lips brushed on my neck and I responded with a faint moan. Darius being this affectionate is still very new to me but it’s not like I’m not liking this side of him. In fact, I really love this side of him.\n\nIf only he would show it more. \n\nAs I laid down on this bed in his arms, I couldn’t help but remember the times when I was still young. Every bed time, Darius never tucks me in at night unlike what he used to do with Maria before and that really left an impact in me. \n\nIt’s not like I’m craving to be tucked in, it’s just the thought of him bearing a grudge like that because of how my birth reminded him so much of his wife and his brothers’ infidelities. I’m a reminder of my mother and my uncle’s mistake and no amount of lies could conceal that but making someone suffer for being born in this world made me feel somehow guilty for ever existing at all.\n\nWhen Darius and I first started this affair, I began to feel that I am merely acting as some sort of cushion for that horrible mistake like I’m subconsciously wanting to fix it by being there for him as a means of comfort from all of the deception my mother shoved on his face. \n\nBut now, I’m starting to feel different towards our relationship. It seems that Darius really harbored feelings both for me and the growing baby inside me. It’s like his paternal instinct started kicking in the moment he found out I am pregnant.\n\nNot a moment to spare, I could feel his hand gently stroking my belly and the thought alone made me feel somehow at ease and complete inside. \n\n “When you come out…I would make sure that nothing bad will happen to you,” I heard Darius speaking to my belly in his groggy voice. “I’d make sure that you’re loved and taken care of, I’d give you a bright future and…I’m willing to give the world for you.”\n\nI blushed intensely at his words. It was so unlike him and just the thought of him saying such words to our unborn child truly left me mesmerized. He truly is as excited as I am to meet our little bundle. \n\nWhy was I worried in the first place when all I wanted was right here with me all along? Right now, only he and this little bundle that I carried inside of me are the only ones that mattered to me now. \nThey are my world now.\n---\n[b](A few months later)\n[/b][b](Shadow’s POV)[/b]\n\nA sound of an infant crying reverberated in my ears as I dropped my head back in the pillow from exhaustion. A huge sense of relief filled me and tears of joy leaked through my lids as words couldn’t describe the feeling I got after hearing my baby crying for the very first time.\n\n“You did a great job,” Darius praised as he gave me a peck on my forehead. He was beside me all throughout my labor. Something he hasn’t done with his former family. Truth to be told, he wasn’t present during my birth nor even Maria’s due to his work, but ironically, he’s beside me when I was the one giving birth.\n\nFunny how fate works in mysterious ways.\n\n“Baby out at 4:45 am,” I heard one of the health care providers say as I panted heavily after what seems like forever in trying so hard to push the baby out of my womb. I’m so relieved that it was finally over. \n\n“Congratulations, it’s a healthy baby girl,” I heard the doctor say as she showed us our little bundle who is still covered with blood. \n\nA weak smile formed in my lips the moment as I barely caught sight of our baby girl. She had peach-colored muzzles and dark fur covering her petite and delicate body just like ours with two stubby little quills patterned similar to her father while a few of her other quills descended down on her back and are a bit lengthier and more feminine. She is the most beautiful creation I’ve ever seen in my whole life.\n\n\"H-how is she?” I asked almost in a whisper, still feeling a little bit exhausted to lift my head to see her enough. I looked at my side and saw Darius wearing an expression I haven’t seen in him before: a very warm and fulfilled expression.\n\n“Beautiful…” were the only words he could muster as he stared at our daughter in awe.\n\n“Would you like to do the honors in cutting your baby’s cord, Mr. Hedgehog?” the doctor asked him that somehow woke him back to his senses.\n\n“O-of course,” he quickly responded.  \n\n[b](Darius’ POV)\n[/b]\n\nOne of the doctors gave me a pair of medical scissors then they pointed at the part of the cord that needs to be cut\n\nMy hands shook as I held the scissors in fear that I might harm our little girl but the doctors reassured me that everything would be fine and that’s when I finally found the courage to cut the cord just as how the doctor has instructed.\n\nIt was a strange experience separating your child from her mother but doing so made me feel instantly connected with my daughter. I ran out of words but I am certain that I am feeling a huge sense of bliss at the fact that she’s healthy and is doing her best to cry and kick her tiny little feet against the doctor’s grasp with so much energy. \n\nTo be honest, this is the first time that I have witnessed childbirth because I wasn't present when my ex wife gave birth to our children. Being given a chance once again to witness such a miracle has left me completely astounded which made me regret my absence during these special moments. It seems that I have prioritized some other things too much to just sit back and be there for the ones I love. \n\nNow I am finally given that chance and I am going to make the most of it for as long as I live.\n\nAfter our little girl was suctioned to aid in her breathing, weighed and cleaned by the medical personnel, she was wrapped in a white and pink striped patterned blanket and is handed over to her mother. \n\nShadow and I stared happily at our new bundle of joy who is now calm and carried lovingly by him.  \n\n\"She's so beautiful,\" said Shadow with a voice filled with overflowing emotions. \"I-I can't believe...we made this wonderful little being...\"\n\nI chuckled in response at my partner's bewilderment regarding the matter. I guess being a parent for the first time in his part, it's really an unforgettable experience to see your own child for the first time. I on the other hand had been a parent but not even that could take away the bewilderment I felt when our daughter was finally brought into this world. \n\n“We’ve been waiting for you,” he said, tickling our daughter’s muzzles with his finger just to elicit a certain reflex that makes her open her mouth in response. “Finally we are able to meet you.”\n\nI merely responded with a smile of contentment as my gaze never seem to leave our little bundle. She’s beautiful beyond words and as a father, I am truly grateful to be blessed with such a wonderful daughter. \n\nShe reminded me so much of my late daughter who passed away years ago with a rare disorder and until now, she still resides in my memories but the moment I caught sight of our little girl, it feels like she’s just right here beside me but even so, Maria would always have a special place in my heart just as our new daughter would have one.\n‘Maria…no matter how long has passed, I’ll always hold you in my heart.’\n\n“Darius,” I heard Shadow calling out my name that made my ears perk, “Would you like to hold her?” he asked and I felt my heart beating fast upon hearing what he said. I nodded in response and he gave me to her with utmost care.\n\nAfter finding out about Shadow’s pregnancy a few months ago, I was struck with so much bliss to realize that I have fathered another offspring from someone who I have cherished in my life and seeing that little bundle in this world today, I feel like I just stepped in the world of Utopia.\n\nThat moment I held my daughter for the very first time, I could’ve sworn that the heaven’s gate had opened. It was a surreal. I am literally flooded with various emotions that I couldn’t describe in words but one emotion stood out the most and it was pure unrelenting bliss. The moment she opened her eyes and looked straight up to me with curiosity, I was instantly captivated with her ocean blue eyes that mirrored my own. \n\nI wanted to say something, even just a single word but I’m afraid my words already left me. The fact that I have seen her healthy and well is too enormous to grasp at the current moment but I somehow felt a strong feeling of responsibility for this precious little bundle. My daughter…my own flesh and blood from someone I hold deeply in my heart after losing my first daughter from a wife that never had the audacity to care about our family. \n\nIt feels that my whole life has changed. The feeling is far too indescribable to grasp and state into words yet but every time her blue eyes met my own, I feel so much bliss in my heart that I wanted to look straight into those eyes forever and just enjoy the moment as it is.\n\n“Getting lost in the moment as it seems,” teased Shadow and I just grunted at him for making fun of my current state. “Come on, just admit it. You’re as happy as I am.”\n\nI just sighed and finally found a reason to smile in contentment at what he just pointed out. For once in my life, I am indeed happy. \n\n“So what should we call her?” he added a question that made think for a couple of seconds before finding the words to say.\n\nI stared at my precious little girl again and I noticed how rich and black her fur is just like Shadow and mine. Dark as the evening sky and yet full of brilliance.\n\n“As much as I wanted to name her after Maria, I wanted to name her something different…something unique but still sounds elegant. How about Noire?” I suggested and he gave me a warm smile of affirmation. \n\n“Noire…That’s a really nice name for her. I really love it. Noire it is,” he agreed with a gleam of happiness in them before resting his head on my shoulder and watched our daughter in awe like she is the best thing that’s ever happened to us.  \n\nWelcome to the world, Noire.",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'><strong>Saturday, 6:35 am at the Babylon Luxury Hotel, Westopolis<br /></strong>(Shadow&rsquo;s POV)<br /><br />I laid in a queen sized bed in one of the most luxurious hotels owned by our company wearing nothing but a white dress shirt that didn&rsquo;t belong to me, rather, it belonged to the very first man who took my virginity: Darius, my boss, my stepfather, as well as my uncle.<br /><br />He&rsquo;s currently doing his usual morning rituals in the restroom right now while I sit here in the bed, waiting for him to return. Truth to be told, every time he leaves me here in bed, I always feel a sense of longing to be in those strong arms again and I am thankful that I have at least his dress shirt with me that&rsquo;s still enveloped with his scent from the wild passionate night we had last night. <br /><br />From time to time, I find myself sniffing the dress shirt where the scent of his expensive perfume and musk lingered. That mere soft fabric stirred so much in me, giving me an urge to lie down and get lost in the feeling of being cocooned in his scent. <br /><br />It&rsquo;s truly pleasant and it gives me the feeling that he&rsquo;s just next to me but it&rsquo;s only adding to my burden especially when it makes me feel wet down in between my legs. <br /><br />Chaos, even his scent is tantalizing enough to make me wet.<br /><br />This isn&rsquo;t the first time we have been intimate, though.<br /><br />After my first encounter with him at the office building just two months ago, a dangerous romantic liaison formed between us. Every Friday night after work, Darius and I would spend a night together in the presidential suite of his hotel. Not only is it considered taboo to sleep with my own blood relative but also the fact that I have fallen into the grasp of temptation by secretly becoming my stepfather&rsquo;s mistress behind my mother&rsquo;s back. <br /><br />What made things even more complicated is what happened after that first encounter. <br /><br />My gaze went on a small bump on my tummy that&rsquo;s still barely evident to the untrained eye. So far, only Darius and I know about this. At first, I didn&rsquo;t believe that I would get pregnant after that night in the office but that assumption was proven wrong when the pregnancy test confirmed that I am indeed carrying his child.<br /><br />Right now, I&rsquo;m almost reaching my 2nd month of pregnancy and that didn&rsquo;t stop us from seeing each other and being intimate like this. I have kept my pregnancy a secret from the rest of our family but I have no doubts that they would find out about this soon enough when I start showing. <br /><br />At first, I was really scared thinking that it&rsquo;s a sin to carry the child born from an extra-marital affair as well as a child of my own relative, however, during the time of my first prenatal visit, I instantly fell in love with my unborn baby from the very first time I had my first ultrasound and no words could describe how happy I was upon hearing the baby&rsquo;s strong heartbeat through a Fetal Doppler; a very good indication that I am carrying a healthy little bundle inside me.<br /><br />That made me realize that I was carrying a blessing rather than a mistake.<br /><br />I propped myself up with pillows against the headboard and gently rubbed my barely visible bump with a smile.<br /><br /><em>&lsquo;I can&rsquo;t wait to meet you soon&hellip;&rsquo; <br /></em><br /><br />I sighed and thought about how this baby would be like once it&rsquo;s born. Although it&rsquo;s still too early to tell the gender yet, I have a feeling that this would be a girl because of the gentle aura it has within me.<br /><br />I curled up on my side to savor the scent of my lover&rsquo;s dress shirt once more but I got distracted when he finally got out of the restroom with only his slacks on.<br /><br />The sight of him immediately made me sat up from the bed just to see him smirking at me. That gesture alone instantly made my muzzles blush. He must&rsquo;ve seen me sniffing his dress shirt and seeing me wearing it while doing it probably set some sparks in him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Even after last night you still can&rsquo;t get enough of me, Shadow?&rdquo; he teased and crossed his arms.<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t be so full of yourself. It&rsquo;s&hellip;it&rsquo;s nothing like that,&rdquo; I quickly denied but the blush on my face is telling him a different thing. <br /><br />&ldquo;Stubborn as always.&rdquo; He walked a bit closer, crawled in the bed towards me and pushed me down until my back is touching the mattress while he towered above me with his intimidating gaze.<br /><br />His hand strokes my muzzle in a loving manner and the feeling sent shivers all over my spine. His identical icy blue eyes stared at me from above as I laid there with my muzzles glowing red as the red streaks that lined my dark, upturned quills. <br /><br />Even if I have done this with him a lot of times, I could still feel my body shudder every time he demonstrates his dominating behavior like this. It makes me feel safe at the same time anxious for what he&rsquo;s about to do. <br /><br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;re quite tense. Are you frightened?&rdquo; he asked with a seductive grin and I responded by shyly shaking my head in disagreement.<br />&nbsp;<br />&ldquo;W-why would I be frightened?&rdquo; I lifted a brow at him that simply made him chuckle in response.<br /><br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;re giving me a look as if I&rsquo;m going to bite you.&rdquo; He cupped my muzzles with his hand and dipped his head down until our lips are only a few inches away from touching, &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry, I don&rsquo;t bite that hard.&rdquo;<br /><br />He met my lips in a passionate lip lock. I could feel his hand gently caressing my body in every, treasuring every crevice in my body as if I&rsquo;m a precious luxurious ornament that&rsquo;s worth a million. <br /><br />Ever since I got pregnant, I noticed a sudden change in my physique. Not only has my muzzles became more rounded and chubby but my once slender form has gotten curvier and more feminine as well. Not to mention that my hips have widened and my thighs are much fuller than before. This is one of the reasons why Darius finds me more irresistible than before after noticing that we&rsquo;ve been spending nights in this hotel more frequently compared before. <br /><br />A faint moan escaped my throat when he decided to leave my lips to assault my neck, taking in my scent and savoring it first before landing his lips to trail warm and moist fiery kisses along the way while his hand stroke the insides of my thighs. <br /><br />He&rsquo;s a warm and passionate lover in bed but a cold-hearted CEO in the company building. How someone with such a cold and icy gaze be emitting such warmth is purely ironic.<br /><br />His hand made its way to the small bump in my belly and gently rubbed it through the dress shirt that I wore. The feeling eventually made me yelp in surprise. <br /><br />&ldquo;Is there something wrong?&rdquo; his head shot up to look at me, a hint of confusion is evident in his eyes, wondering why a mere gesture of brushing his hand on my baby bump gave such a reaction from me but all I did was give him another excuse to be amused when I felt my muzzles warming up. <br /><br />Every time he brushes a hand on my pregnant belly, he always makes me feel jumpy and a little bit embarrassed.<br /><br />&ldquo;Nothing. It&rsquo;s just that&hellip;I feel very sensitive there,&rdquo; I lowered my voice, embarrassed about stating my current feeling at the moment. <br /><br />&ldquo;I see.&rdquo; He just brushed my statement aside and continued to caress my pregnant belly despite of my protests. <br />&ldquo;Darius!&rdquo; I called out to him both in annoyance and embarrassment.<br /><br />&ldquo;Pardon my persistence but&hellip;It&rsquo;s been a while since I last felt&hellip;life growing inside,&rdquo; he gave a barely visible charming smile that made me feel guilty for snapping at him. <br /><br />My annoyance and embarrassment diminished and I found myself warming up to his touches. After Maria died, he had never been the same. He found himself getting lost, focusing merely on his work, drowning himself in alcohol every night and seeing different women just to hide from the loneliness of losing his precious little girl. <br /><br />Darius, the influential CEO who everyone thinks that has everything that anyone could ever ask for is one damaged man on the inside. If I haven&rsquo;t come into his life, who knows what life could have been for him.<br /><br />He would keep on maintaining a strong and powerful facade as he slowly dies on the inside. Life may give you everything but there will always be something that you&rsquo;ll lack.&nbsp;&nbsp;In his case, he lacks a stable relationship because not only did his wife, my mother, cheated on him but also the fact that I was born from that mistake. <br />I&rsquo;m a walking reminder of that mistake and ironically, he&rsquo;s literally embracing that mistake with open arms as if he has already accepted it in some way. <br /><br />Somehow, helping him fight his loneliness away by becoming one of his late-night escapades is eating me inside. Truth to be told, I could never get tired of this if it weren&rsquo;t for that guilt of betraying my own mother like this. Every night we spend time together, the deeper the guilt roots itself at the back of my mind, giving me a slight nudge that tells me that whatever it is that we are doing is sinful beyond words but that root of guilt was often pulled out from its roots whenever his lips connect to mine.<br /><br />It&rsquo;s like every sin is instantly washed away by that simple gesture alone. If having relations with my stepfather is punishable by death, I&rsquo;d probably be buried in the ground by now along with him. <br /><br />&ldquo;S-sounds convincing&hellip;&rdquo; I muttered and found myself smiling as well. Perhaps I&rsquo;ll get used to him doing this to my belly in time. <br /><br />He sighed and pulled me along with him until I was the one straddling his waist on top of him.<br /><br />&ldquo;I love that dress shirt in you, by the way,&rdquo; he complimented in his calm and alluring voice then I felt his hand teasingly stroking my thighs until one of them reached up towards the hem of the shirt and slowly pushing it up.<br /><br />&ldquo;But I think that would suit the floor even better,&rdquo; he teasingly said that made my muzzles burn.<br /><br />&ldquo;Y-you want me to take it off?&rdquo; I shyly asked as my fingers fondled with the buttons and he just responded with an encouraging smirk.<br /><br />From that alone, I immediately know what he wanted. <br /><br />Without saying a word, my fingers hastily did its best to unbutton every button in the dress shirt I wore but he halted me with a hand on my wrist.<br /><br />&ldquo;Slowly&hellip;&rdquo; he calmly uttered and I immediately complied but not after blushing intensely at his command.<br />I slowly undid each button. With every button I undo, the wider his smirk became. <br /><br />I feel like a stripper trying to please his customer but instead of feeling ashamed, I sort of feel good doing it before him. What made this more preferable is the boost of confidence I feel whenever I hint a gleam of affirmation from my lover&rsquo;s eyes. <br /><br />As I got the buttons undone, I pulled the dress shirt off my shoulders and threw it on the floor, exposing my naked form fully before him that he had already seen a lot of times. Although it was cold in the room, I could feel both of our bodies burning from the heat that we both started. My wetness bathed his crotch but beneath the slacks he wore, I could feel something hard already pressing against my folds.<br /><br />&ldquo;Satisfied?&rdquo; I asked him in a sarcastic and playful manner and he responded by once again lovingly stroking my pregnancy bump with a barely visible smile and eyes filled with adoration towards the little one that nestled in my womb. <br /><br />His child. Our child. The child that might somehow fill the gap inside of the emptiness that resided within our hearts. <br /><br />&ldquo;Darius?&rdquo; I called out his attention and he immediately feigned a disappointed look.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&hellip;I mean hardly. You know what satisfies me more?&rdquo; he deftly pushed me on my side and rolled on top of me. &ldquo;You screaming my name.&rdquo;<br /><br />My eyes shot wide in shock at his suggestive remark and before I could even speak, I felt his hand sensually squeezing my thigh.<br /><br />&ldquo;You letch!&rdquo; I snapped at him but he merely responded by capturing my lips in a heated lip lock that eventually dragged me along with him.<br /><br />Despite the protest a few moments ago, here I am completely surrendering myself to temptation once again. <br />Who am I to deny such a wonderful feeling? <br /><br />My heart furiously started beating inside my chest with extreme longing. With my hormones skyrocketing coupled with his constant teasing, I&rsquo;d be crazy to refuse his advances. <br /><br />I pulled him close and ran my hand on his quills while his hand began to brush further upward between my legs and without hesitation, I lifted a leg a little further to give him enough room to move a few more inches until I felt his fingertips reaching my core. <br /><br />He traced his skilled fingers on my feminine folds to facilitate my wetness but often intentionally bypassing the most sensitive nub in between them just to tease me.<br /><br />I broke the kiss and stared at him in complete exasperation. <br /><br />&ldquo;Stop teasing me,&rdquo; I whined impatiently and he just continued his little game of torture by merely playing with my folds as though he didn&rsquo;t hear me say a word.<br /><br />&ldquo;Please,&rdquo; I finally found the strength to beg, trying my best in moving my thighs so his fingers would at least hit my clit but it didn&rsquo;t work at all. It only made me feel frustrated. However, the more he does it, the more the wetness dripped in between my legs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;Damn it, just touch me there already!&rdquo; I exclaimed, letting my frustrations known and he just gave me one sly look.<br /><br />&ldquo;Only if you say my name,&rdquo; he continued to torment me while I just helplessly moaned beneath him. He&rsquo;s driving me crazy and I don&rsquo;t think I would be able to take it much longer.<br /><br />My breathing intensified both from the teasing and the frustration and just as I was about to utter a curse at him, he gently ran a finger in between my slit that made me gasp loudly in delight. <br /><br />&ldquo;Oh Darius!&rdquo; I eventually moaned his name from that slight touch as I felt a sudden jolt enveloping my whole body. <br /><br />&ldquo;Good boy,&rdquo; he praised and gave me a passionate kiss that made my body shiver then he broke it to focus more into his teasing.<br /><br />He fulfilled my wish when his finger rubbed teasingly on the tip of my clit until he finally found that certain spot in it that makes me lose my breath and my body melt. &ldquo;Darius&hellip;that feels good,&rdquo; I squirmed beneath him as a new wave of pleasure surge inside me. &ldquo;Oh, don&rsquo;t stop,&rdquo; I begged, biting my lip to desperately keep myself from loudly moaning my heart out. <br /><br />&ldquo;Oh I would most certainly not because I want to hear you moan for me more. It will make it easier for me to fuck the living daylights out of you, too, my little prey.&rdquo;<br /><br />His way of talking is strangely turning me on especially knowing how proper and well-refined he is. <br /><br />The more his hands lingered in my core, the more the speed of his teasing fingers change and I felt his fondling becoming rougher compared before. Breathless moans and pants escaped me that it&rsquo;s becoming harder for me to breathe.<br /><br />Finally, he dipped two of his fingers inside my wet opening and started pumping them in and out of me while his other hand gently stroke my curvy thighs before resting it on the top of my belly, stroking it from time to time like he&rsquo;s truly fascinated with the life growing inside of me. <br /><br />&ldquo;Why do you keep on tormenting me like this?&rdquo; I panted, feeling jolts of pleasure every time his fingers slip in and out of me. I could feel my own body involuntarily humping down for more stimulation.<br /><br />&ldquo;Because I want to,&rdquo; he simply replied in a smirk. &ldquo;But most of all, because I really enjoy seeing you wriggling helplessly beneath me. It&rsquo;s a guilty pleasure, I might add.&rdquo;<br /><br />He loves seeing me in my most vulnerable state, something that I rarely show with the people around me. Just like him. We are so alike in a lot of ways which is why that similarity led to this sinful act of intimacy. <br /><br />Feeling guilt once again taking over me, I grunted and just pulled him closer to me so we could share another deep kiss just to forget all about it and he kissed back while his tongue explored the warm crevices inside my mouth as he greedily savored my muffled moans.<br /><br />The intensity of the pleasurable sensation was too much, I feel like I&rsquo;m going insane already. <br /><br />My mind already felt hazy and all I could think about is this delectable feeling of his fingers stretching my tight entrance. It&rsquo;s good, so good that I couldn&rsquo;t help but shut my eyes tightly just to concentrate in that wonderful feeling until I feel a familiar coil of release building in my stomach. <br /><br />&ldquo;D-Darius, I&rsquo;m close,&rdquo; I whimpered. &ldquo;Please don&rsquo;t make me cum yet. I want you inside me,&rdquo; I did my best to fight the urge to give in to my release. I want to keep this feeling dragging for as long as I can until he finishes inside me. I want to feel him inside of me and I want him to shoot every pint of his warm load within me. <br /><br />He stopped his fondling in my nether regions when my hands fumbled on his slacks in anticipation and he chuckled upon noticing my gesture.<br /><br />&ldquo;You want me?&rdquo; he asked in his husky voice; an alluring smirk forming on his thin lips and I responded with a nod while facing him with a seductive smile as I bit my lip in eagerness. &ldquo;Tell me how much you want me?&rdquo; he only prolonged the agony by asking me a lot of questions which only made me more sexually frustrated enough to answer back.<br /><br />&ldquo;I want you inside me. I want to feel you over and over again.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Is that so?&rdquo; he teasingly bit and pulled my lower lip before giving me another passionate lip lock but he left me whimpering when he immediately pulled away. &ldquo;I could make you feel that for as long as you live.&rdquo;<br />He finally complied when he undid the button of his slacks and allowed it to slide on his knees. <br /><br />The sight of his long and thick erection before me made my body shiver with need especially at the thought of it deeply inside me. <br /><br />I gingerly parted my legs and gave him an encouraging smile. That alone was enough to make him slowly bury his length inside my tight opening. My body shivered at the first contact but I soon adjusted to the feeling eventually the more he buries himself deeper into me.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />A loud moan left my throat as my body arched at the sudden ripple of pleasure that enveloped my body when his length finally settled deep within me then he pulled back until the tip of his length was left inside me before thrusting it back into me in a steady and gentle pace, repeatedly burying himself to me over and over again until he settled on a pace that both of us could tolerate. One hand stroke gently at the bump in my stomach while the other caressed my muzzles.<br /><br />I could feel him, I could feel all of him massaging my insides and it made my body tremble from the unbearable pleasure when all of a sudden, a vision of my mother with a sorrowful and disdained look suddenly made its way into my mind and the sight of it sharply grazed a part of my heart enough to leave me tightly closing my eyes and shaking my head to get rid of that image.<br /><br />&ldquo;Shadow?&rdquo; Darius momentarily stopped and called my attention. His lust-filled gaze was now replaced with apprehensive ones that made me wonder. &ldquo;Are you in pain?&rdquo; he asked while his hand stroke my belly, scared that he must have done something to hurt me and our baby. &ldquo;Did I hurt you in some way?&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;N-no, you didn&rsquo;t. It&rsquo;s just that&hellip;&rdquo; I took a deep breath and gazed into his cerulean eyes. &ldquo;I just feel that something&rsquo;s not right about this.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What do you mean? We&rsquo;ve been seeing each other like this for a month now,&rdquo; he&rsquo;s giving me an indifferent gaze but I could clearly see that he&rsquo;s puzzled with my words.<br /><br />&ldquo;I just feel that we&rsquo;re betraying mother&hellip;I couldn&rsquo;t stop seeing her every time we&hellip;&rdquo; I paused to avoid his gaze and I was instantly taken aback when he just pulled my muzzles back towards him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Shadow, all your mother ever did was make the both of us suffer with her deception and lies. I am trying to forget that just as how I am trying to make you forget it, too. Don&rsquo;t think that just because we&rsquo;re doing this is because of merely physical release and nothing more,&rdquo; he calmly answered with an indifferent look.<br /><br />My mouth gaped in response. He left me speechless with his sudden words. All this time, I never thought that he&rsquo;s capable with such words especially since he likes keeping things to himself. <br /><br />&ldquo;Are you saying&hellip;that whatever we&rsquo;re doing right now is driven with the strong feelings we have for each other and not merely an escape to the cruel reality? Because I want you to convince me more.&rdquo; I felt more than curious to ask and he answered by stroking his hand on my pregnant belly. <br /><br />&ldquo;This life growing inside you, isn&rsquo;t that enough proof? Do I have to prove to you every day how much you matter to me? Because I&rsquo;m willing to do that in a heartbeat if that would be the only way to convince you.&rdquo; <br /><br />His words literally made me tear up a bit, feeling my heart overflowing with feelings I never knew I deserve; the feeling of being valuable in somebody else&rsquo;s eyes. Hearing this from a man who I used to believe who only cares for himself and his company is truly unexpected and it&rsquo;s enough to make a tear escape from my lids but before it could even trickle down my muzzles, he immediately wiped it with his thumb. <br /><br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;re&hellip;willing to do that for me? I&hellip;didn&rsquo;t expect that you would&hellip;say such words,&rdquo; I spoke to break the silence.<br /><br />&ldquo;Love knows no boundaries,&rdquo; he said that made my heart flutter as well as making my eyes widened in bewilderment. &ldquo;Je t&rsquo;ai toujours aim&eacute; (I&rsquo;ve always loved you). Je t&#039;ai toujours aim&eacute;e, d&eacute;sir&eacute;e, et je ne peux pas vivre sans toi. (I have always loved you, desired you, and I cannot imagine living without you).&rdquo;<br /><br />Did he just confessed his love for me?<br /><br />Darius isn&rsquo;t really good with expressing his feelings through words and I could definitely empathize with him on that but hearing him speak it in a different language that both of us knew made it even sound deeper and more sincere.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Truth to be told, I didn&rsquo;t expect Darius would consider love as a commodity that he desires at all. I see him merely using sex as a form of release and nothing more.<br /><br />I can&rsquo;t believe I was so wrong to assume that especially with the words he just told me. This is a side of him that I rarely see. Darius isn&rsquo;t really an affectionate man like most people would think but just being able to witness this side of him is making me feel butterflies in my stomach. <br /><br />&ldquo;Wha&mdash;&ldquo; he didn&rsquo;t let me finish when he ended my quest for words with another deep and passionate kiss that instantly washed my burdens away at the same time, convincing me that he is sincere with his words. I suddenly felt more empowered that I pulled him close and tightly held unto him like I don&rsquo;t want to let him go anymore and the next thing I know, I was moaning in ecstatic frenzy in his mouth when he started to move his hips again, continuing where he left off. <br /><br />I wrapped my strong legs around his waist to push him deeper inside me as my tightness desperately held unto him like it wanted him to stay there for good. My eyes closed as I lost myself in pleasure especially when he angled himself to hit the most sensitive spot inside of me again and again like he already knows where it is due to our frequent intimate sessions.<br /><br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;re different, Shadow,&rdquo; he huskily whispered in my ear as he continued to thrust his length into me in a loving and gentle pace. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re different because you&rsquo;re special to me. If Mobius is a jungle, you&rsquo;re the rarest creature that everybody wants to tame.&rdquo;<br /><br />I couldn&rsquo;t even respond anymore from the exquisite sensation he&rsquo;s showering me with but every word that came out of his mouth made me feel so much bliss. To top it all that, everything he&rsquo;s doing brought my body to a heated frenzy. Feeling that the pleasure is starting to engulf me, one of my hand desperately clung to him while the other clutched his quills tightly that caused him to growl.<br /><br />He then ushered me to get on my knees and like any obedient boy, I did what I was told. His hands cupped my curvy rear and raised it then I finally felt him slipped between my wetness. A gasp left my lips when he plunged into my heat, I squeezed my eyes shut at the impact and yet a familiar heat rushed into my body at the feeling of his strong hands kneading my thighs as he braced himself with every thrust. <br /><br />He leaned and held unto me, his feral grunts and groans getting louder with each thrust as I moaned his name like it was a prayer. I could feel my heart pounding inside my chest. I was dazed and a huge rush of mixed emotions filled me. <br /><br />I felt his warm breath burning against my neck and it was soon replaced with fiery kisses before it turned into gentle biting that made me whimper in response. It always turns me on whenever he does that to my neck and I really like it when he does it but as always, I am one stubborn hedgehog to even admit that. I guess I am somehow grateful for his persistence.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />A sheen of sweat covered my body and I could almost feel my arms giving up on me but I did my best to keep myself stable as my body submitted to my need and from my lover&rsquo;s intense pummeling as his hands stroke my belly like it was one of his prized possessions. <br /><br />Somehow, the more he does it, the more I don&rsquo;t feel much embarrassed about it anymore. Instead, I wanted him to stroke it to his heart&rsquo;s content. I want him to feel that the child I&rsquo;m carrying right now is proof that I am willing to be with him through thick and thin.<br /><br />His length inside me throbbed and ached for release while my walls clenched tightly around him as though begging him to give in to his release. We are almost there but I didn&rsquo;t want this to end yet, not just yet, and he didn&rsquo;t want to as well but as always, there&rsquo;s always an end to everything. <br /><br />Heavy breaths and groans resonated around the room coupled with moans of undying pleasure; most of them coming from me. He continued to rub my belly in his most affectionate way but I got startled when he leaned over once more and took my face with his hand to bring his lips into mine. As our tongues did their sensual dance, our bodies basked in the ambiance of a lust filled inferno.<br /><br />He soon broke the kiss and nuzzled himself on the back of my neck then he slid a hand in my front and fondled the bead of sensitive flesh in between my folds that literally set my core on fire. <br /><br />&ldquo;Darius,&rdquo; I moaned his name and finally getting used to letting it slip from my lips from time to time. As he often implies, he really is a generous man for letting me feel tenfold of the pleasure he&rsquo;s feeling. <br /><br />Blood rushed to my head and I could feel an intense heat radiating inside my body. I&rsquo;m getting close and I could no longer contain it.<br /><br />&ldquo;Shadow&hellip;&rdquo; His voice was hoarse and from the sound of it, he&rsquo;s fighting the urge to let himself go. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m close.&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;Me too&hellip;Do it! I&hellip;I want all of it inside me,&rdquo; I begged with my voice strained for holding back a moan just to tell him what I want. <br /><br />His thrusts were getting faster and intense but he still kept himself under control so as not to harm the little bundle inside me. He&rsquo;s sending my whole body into overdrive and after a few more thrusts, he sent both of us to the edge. <br /><br />He buried himself inside me deeply and filled me up to the brim with his warm and hot load that once brought the little bundle in my belly to life. I slammed my hand on the sheets and fisted it tightly as the feeling of release sent my whole body clenching in pleasure. The powerful orgasm rocked my entire body like it just experienced the strongest magnitude of an earthquake. My arms buckled and I felt myself sinking forward that my arms are already braced against the bed. <br /><br />My mind started to go blank and all that escaped my mouth is my lover&rsquo;s name before I felt my body becoming limp from that breathtaking sensation that&rsquo;s still fresh from my mind.<br /><br />Both of us were breathing hard and I could still feel my body trembling from the intense sex we just had. It&rsquo;s not like it was something new but judging from this encounter, Darius is much affectionate recently compared before which makes me smile for a reason.<br /><br />With a soft grunt, he pulled out of me a few moments later and pulled my limp and powerless form with him. <br />We both now laid on our sides, my back against him, his strong arms wrapped around me and his face buried on my neck like he&rsquo;s savoring my post love-making scent mixing with his own musk. I closed my eyes and savored his warmth enveloping my body as I closed my eyes in complete exhaustion.<br /><br />His lips brushed on my neck and I responded with a faint moan. Darius being this affectionate is still very new to me but it&rsquo;s not like I&rsquo;m not liking this side of him. In fact, I really love this side of him.<br /><br />If only he would show it more. <br /><br />As I laid down on this bed in his arms, I couldn&rsquo;t help but remember the times when I was still young. Every bed time, Darius never tucks me in at night unlike what he used to do with Maria before and that really left an impact in me. <br /><br />It&rsquo;s not like I&rsquo;m craving to be tucked in, it&rsquo;s just the thought of him bearing a grudge like that because of how my birth reminded him so much of his wife and his brothers&rsquo; infidelities. I&rsquo;m a reminder of my mother and my uncle&rsquo;s mistake and no amount of lies could conceal that but making someone suffer for being born in this world made me feel somehow guilty for ever existing at all.<br /><br />When Darius and I first started this affair, I began to feel that I am merely acting as some sort of cushion for that horrible mistake like I&rsquo;m subconsciously wanting to fix it by being there for him as a means of comfort from all of the deception my mother shoved on his face. <br /><br />But now, I&rsquo;m starting to feel different towards our relationship. It seems that Darius really harbored feelings both for me and the growing baby inside me. It&rsquo;s like his paternal instinct started kicking in the moment he found out I am pregnant.<br /><br />Not a moment to spare, I could feel his hand gently stroking my belly and the thought alone made me feel somehow at ease and complete inside. <br /><br />&nbsp;&ldquo;When you come out&hellip;I would make sure that nothing bad will happen to you,&rdquo; I heard Darius speaking to my belly in his groggy voice. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d make sure that you&rsquo;re loved and taken care of, I&rsquo;d give you a bright future and&hellip;I&rsquo;m willing to give the world for you.&rdquo;<br /><br />I blushed intensely at his words. It was so unlike him and just the thought of him saying such words to our unborn child truly left me mesmerized. He truly is as excited as I am to meet our little bundle. <br /><br />Why was I worried in the first place when all I wanted was right here with me all along? Right now, only he and this little bundle that I carried inside of me are the only ones that mattered to me now. <br />They are my world now.<br />---<br /><strong>(A few months later)<br /></strong><strong>(Shadow&rsquo;s POV)</strong><br /><br />A sound of an infant crying reverberated in my ears as I dropped my head back in the pillow from exhaustion. A huge sense of relief filled me and tears of joy leaked through my lids as words couldn&rsquo;t describe the feeling I got after hearing my baby crying for the very first time.<br /><br />&ldquo;You did a great job,&rdquo; Darius praised as he gave me a peck on my forehead. He was beside me all throughout my labor. Something he hasn&rsquo;t done with his former family. Truth to be told, he wasn&rsquo;t present during my birth nor even Maria&rsquo;s due to his work, but ironically, he&rsquo;s beside me when I was the one giving birth.<br /><br />Funny how fate works in mysterious ways.<br /><br />&ldquo;Baby out at 4:45 am,&rdquo; I heard one of the health care providers say as I panted heavily after what seems like forever in trying so hard to push the baby out of my womb. I&rsquo;m so relieved that it was finally over. <br /><br />&ldquo;Congratulations, it&rsquo;s a healthy baby girl,&rdquo; I heard the doctor say as she showed us our little bundle who is still covered with blood. <br /><br />A weak smile formed in my lips the moment as I barely caught sight of our baby girl. She had peach-colored muzzles and dark fur covering her petite and delicate body just like ours with two stubby little quills patterned similar to her father while a few of her other quills descended down on her back and are a bit lengthier and more feminine. She is the most beautiful creation I&rsquo;ve ever seen in my whole life.<br /><br />&quot;H-how is she?&rdquo; I asked almost in a whisper, still feeling a little bit exhausted to lift my head to see her enough. I looked at my side and saw Darius wearing an expression I haven&rsquo;t seen in him before: a very warm and fulfilled expression.<br /><br />&ldquo;Beautiful&hellip;&rdquo; were the only words he could muster as he stared at our daughter in awe.<br /><br />&ldquo;Would you like to do the honors in cutting your baby&rsquo;s cord, Mr. Hedgehog?&rdquo; the doctor asked him that somehow woke him back to his senses.<br /><br />&ldquo;O-of course,&rdquo; he quickly responded.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong>(Darius&rsquo; POV)<br /></strong><br /><br />One of the doctors gave me a pair of medical scissors then they pointed at the part of the cord that needs to be cut<br /><br />My hands shook as I held the scissors in fear that I might harm our little girl but the doctors reassured me that everything would be fine and that&rsquo;s when I finally found the courage to cut the cord just as how the doctor has instructed.<br /><br />It was a strange experience separating your child from her mother but doing so made me feel instantly connected with my daughter. I ran out of words but I am certain that I am feeling a huge sense of bliss at the fact that she&rsquo;s healthy and is doing her best to cry and kick her tiny little feet against the doctor&rsquo;s grasp with so much energy. <br /><br />To be honest, this is the first time that I have witnessed childbirth because I wasn&#039;t present when my ex wife gave birth to our children. Being given a chance once again to witness such a miracle has left me completely astounded which made me regret my absence during these special moments. It seems that I have prioritized some other things too much to just sit back and be there for the ones I love. <br /><br />Now I am finally given that chance and I am going to make the most of it for as long as I live.<br /><br />After our little girl was suctioned to aid in her breathing, weighed and cleaned by the medical personnel, she was wrapped in a white and pink striped patterned blanket and is handed over to her mother. <br /><br />Shadow and I stared happily at our new bundle of joy who is now calm and carried lovingly by him.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />&quot;She&#039;s so beautiful,&quot; said Shadow with a voice filled with overflowing emotions. &quot;I-I can&#039;t believe...we made this wonderful little being...&quot;<br /><br />I chuckled in response at my partner&#039;s bewilderment regarding the matter. I guess being a parent for the first time in his part, it&#039;s really an unforgettable experience to see your own child for the first time. I on the other hand had been a parent but not even that could take away the bewilderment I felt when our daughter was finally brought into this world. <br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been waiting for you,&rdquo; he said, tickling our daughter&rsquo;s muzzles with his finger just to elicit a certain reflex that makes her open her mouth in response. &ldquo;Finally we are able to meet you.&rdquo;<br /><br />I merely responded with a smile of contentment as my gaze never seem to leave our little bundle. She&rsquo;s beautiful beyond words and as a father, I am truly grateful to be blessed with such a wonderful daughter. <br /><br />She reminded me so much of my late daughter who passed away years ago with a rare disorder and until now, she still resides in my memories but the moment I caught sight of our little girl, it feels like she&rsquo;s just right here beside me but even so, Maria would always have a special place in my heart just as our new daughter would have one.<br />&lsquo;Maria&hellip;no matter how long has passed, I&rsquo;ll always hold you in my heart.&rsquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Darius,&rdquo; I heard Shadow calling out my name that made my ears perk, &ldquo;Would you like to hold her?&rdquo; he asked and I felt my heart beating fast upon hearing what he said. I nodded in response and he gave me to her with utmost care.<br /><br />After finding out about Shadow&rsquo;s pregnancy a few months ago, I was struck with so much bliss to realize that I have fathered another offspring from someone who I have cherished in my life and seeing that little bundle in this world today, I feel like I just stepped in the world of Utopia.<br /><br />That moment I held my daughter for the very first time, I could&rsquo;ve sworn that the heaven&rsquo;s gate had opened. It was a surreal. I am literally flooded with various emotions that I couldn&rsquo;t describe in words but one emotion stood out the most and it was pure unrelenting bliss. The moment she opened her eyes and looked straight up to me with curiosity, I was instantly captivated with her ocean blue eyes that mirrored my own. <br /><br />I wanted to say something, even just a single word but I&rsquo;m afraid my words already left me. The fact that I have seen her healthy and well is too enormous to grasp at the current moment but I somehow felt a strong feeling of responsibility for this precious little bundle. My daughter&hellip;my own flesh and blood from someone I hold deeply in my heart after losing my first daughter from a wife that never had the audacity to care about our family. <br /><br />It feels that my whole life has changed. The feeling is far too indescribable to grasp and state into words yet but every time her blue eyes met my own, I feel so much bliss in my heart that I wanted to look straight into those eyes forever and just enjoy the moment as it is.<br /><br />&ldquo;Getting lost in the moment as it seems,&rdquo; teased Shadow and I just grunted at him for making fun of my current state. &ldquo;Come on, just admit it. You&rsquo;re as happy as I am.&rdquo;<br /><br />I just sighed and finally found a reason to smile in contentment at what he just pointed out. For once in my life, I am indeed happy. <br /><br />&ldquo;So what should we call her?&rdquo; he added a question that made think for a couple of seconds before finding the words to say.<br /><br />I stared at my precious little girl again and I noticed how rich and black her fur is just like Shadow and mine. Dark as the evening sky and yet full of brilliance.<br /><br />&ldquo;As much as I wanted to name her after Maria, I wanted to name her something different&hellip;something unique but still sounds elegant. How about Noire?&rdquo; I suggested and he gave me a warm smile of affirmation. <br /><br />&ldquo;Noire&hellip;That&rsquo;s a really nice name for her. I really love it. Noire it is,&rdquo; he agreed with a gleam of happiness in them before resting his head on my shoulder and watched our daughter in awe like she is the best thing that&rsquo;s ever happened to us.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Welcome to the world, Noire.</span>",
