The Russian Billionaire’s Secret(150)



“All of this over a goat?” he asked her gently and stroked her back, trying to figure out what was wrong with her.

Julie shook her head, “No, I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm not really mad at you I don't think.”

“Talk to me Julie, a relationship cannot work if we don't talk to each other or communicate, and sex isn't enough, it's the glue, or a band aid, but we need to have a good solid foundation if our marriage is going to be a lasting, happy one,” Marshal told her and kept patting her back, as she sniffled and the tears slowly stopped coming.

“Why didn't you tell me about the gold mines?” she asked him, looking up at him with her big eyes.

Marshal felt a moment of guilt and then hugged her tighter before answering her.

“Because the gold mines weren't something I deal with on a daily basis. I can provide for you, but I was worried if I talked about it while I was seeking a wife, the wrong type of women would apply for the position. You were different. I picked you for a reason, but it had nothing to do with money,” he tried to reassure her.

“I can understand that, but you didn't trust me enough to tell me before the wedding, nor did you tell me right after we were married. I had to find out because you left your papers out where I could find them when I was cleaning. Don't you think I'd have rather heard it from you first hand?” Julie sniffed and looked up at him, wiping at her eyes, feeling stupid for crying.

“Yes, you deserved to know the truth. I'm sorry I didn't tell you personally, but I really don't even think about it that much. Having money, not having money, I can afford to give you anything you want, but being a doctor is what I love doing,” he said sounding slightly defensive. “I think I worried that the wrong woman would insist I quit being a doctor because of the money, I didn't want to give it up.”

“I'd never ask you to give up being a doctor. That is one of the things I loved about your letters, it's why I picked you to begin with. I admire what you do, just please, no more secrets, I want to hear from you,” Julie told him and then kissed him, showing him that she was over her anger at him and forgave him for not telling her first hand.

“Julie,” Marshal said as her hand started to wander over his chest and touch him intimately. He grabbed her breasts through her dress and then gave her a funny look.

“What's wrong?” Julie asked him when he froze and just looked down at her.

“When did you bleed last?” he asked her gently, the look on his face one of shock.

“I don't remember, right before I came here I think,” Julie said thinking back.

“It's been four months and your breasts are significantly larger. I think you may be with child,” Marshal said, and sounded like he was in awe as the realization of their child sunk in.

“But, how is that possible?” Julie asked him, confused. “We weren't trying for a baby, right now, were we?”

“That's not how it works. You become fertile sometime in the middle between your bleeds, and then you get pregnant and you stop bleeding until your fertility returns after the baby,” Marshal explained.

Julie started to laugh, “I know all that, I've been around enough pregnant cows and my mom to get the gist without the graphic details, but thank you. I think.”

“Will this be a problem?” Julie asked him, nervous that their life and relationship would change if they added a child.

“Only in good ways, I assume. I would love to see your belly swell with child, and hold our baby in my arms. I'll be here for you Julie, I'm not going anywhere. Having sex leads to children, this was a possibility anytime we copulate,” Marshal told her sounding matter of fact.

“I know,” Julie said, shaking her head, realizing that he never quite lost his doctor mode, even with her. “A baby...”

Julie placed a hand over her belly and realized that being pregnant definitely explained her mood swings, upset belly, and why she got upset over things that normally wouldn't bug her. Feeling better that she wasn't just going crazy and there was a logical reason for her behaviors, she kissed him passionately, in the barn.

Marshal pushed her up against the wall and kissed her back, taking care not to put any pressure on her belly as his hands started hiking up her skirt and he touched her between her legs. His lips molded over hers and he pushed his tongue between her tender lips as he kissed her demanding and rough.

He was gentle in most of his touches, but aggressive kissing turned him on and Julie enjoyed it. His hand found the sweet spot between her legs and his expert hands quickly worked her into a frenzy and a quick orgasm against the wall. Pulling her skirt up so he could push it against the wall out of the way, he picked up one of her legs and pulled himself out of his pants and took her right there against the barn wall.

Julie could feel the way the hard wall felt ridged as her back slid against it as he thrust into her. He enjoyed their moments alone and the sexual heat that seemed to drive their behavior if they were alone together for more than a few moments. Lack of chemistry had never been an issue between the two of them.

Feeling his body strain and tense up as his hips grinded against her thighs until he reached his own climax, she kissed him back and nibbled on his lip, her little mews and moans egging him on to go faster.

When he was done, he helped her straighten her skirt down and kissed her one more time hard on the mouth for good measure before placing his hand over her belly delicately.
