TUMZONE

Army watched him go into the kitchen, then smirked and glanced down at the belly in their lap, letting one arm come down and curl around it. They were nearly due, technically the baby could come at any time, and damn were they gonna miss this belly. Sure, it got in the way sometimes, and man, could this kiddo really kick at the ribs and bladder. But they liked being so big, it made them feel…powerful. And sexy.

Humming a soft sigh, they rubbed a palm across their belly, then flicked up their soft grey top and peeked at their stretching skin. Feeling eyes on them, they looked up to see Eli just standing in the kitchen doorway with the tied up trash bag, staring.

Smirking, they lowered their other arm and raised an eyebrow. “What?”

They knew very well what.

Eli cleared his throat and shrugged, setting the bag down by the front door and coming back over to sit down on the footstool of their armchair. “Nothin’, nothin’, just…”

“Seriously, what? You look like you got a thousand questions running around in that head of yours. Spill it.” They smiled and extended a foot to nudge at his knee, making him chuckle.

After a small sigh, he shrugged and leaned his elbows on his knees.

“...What’s it like?”

They blinked. “Huh?”

“What’s it like? You got a whole kid in there. What’s it feel like?”

They blinked, and their smile softened a little. “That’s your question?”

“I’m serious! I mean…I’ve seen symptoms. The barfing. The weird smell thing. The ankles.”

“Don’t you say anything about my ankles.” Army warned, and Eli laughed, holding his hands up in a gesture of surrender.

“Okay, not the ankles. But seriously, I wanna know what it feels like.”

“Hm.”

Army looked down at themself, resting their palms on either side of their belly and thinking for a moment.

“It’s cool. Weird, but cool. Sometimes when they move it’s literally like the kiddo is saying hi to me, but from the inside. It’s like a conversation only we get to have, y’know? When I was in my second trimester, and they first started kicking, I thought it was the coolest thing, and I kept waking ‘em up to get ‘em to kick me again. Now, it’s like…I feel knees and elbows in my ribs, and feet in my lungs.” They laughed, and Eli chuckled too.

“But it’s cool. Weight is different, I feel like I gotta take a little bit extra time to get started walking. And my skin gets…itchy from stretching out, I guess. But I…” They leaned back a bit into the couch and pushed their hips forward a little, inwardly smirking as they noticed Eli’s eyes following their belly instead of their face.

“...really like the feel of it. My hips feel…way looser, but also fuller?” Biting their lip, Army pulled their hands slowly down their belly and rested them on their hips, where their legs met their waist. “...here.”

“Uh-huh…?” Eli breathed out, then shook his head and jerked his eyes back up to Army’s face, coloring a little as he saw them smirk. They knew.

“Mhm.” They slowly let their hips settle back against the couch again, rubbing their hands up their belly and pushing their top out of the way. “Plus there’s my bellybutton. I didn’t even know it could do that.”

“...Do what?” Eli blinked and tilted his head, leaning a little closer.

“Pop out!” Army laughed, and Eli flushed even hotter, laughing and rubbing the back of his neck with one hand.

“Oh, I don’t think I even noticed that.”

“You fuckin’ liar, of course you’ve noticed it.”

“No, I swear! Look, you can’t even tell from over here.” He flailed a hand at their belly, and Army gave him a look that could only be described as ‘withering’.

“Then look at it from the front.” They demanded, pointing with one finger to the floor in front of the couch.

“Wha-…” Eli looked confused, then slowly slid from the footstool to his knees on the floor, scooting around until he was seated in front of his partner, eye to eye with their torpedo belly.

Army rested their palms on top of their belly and smirked down at Eli, loving the look on his face. After a moment of no reaction, they stretched out a foot and nudged his knee.

“Well?”

Eli jumped, and dragged his eyes up to meet his partner’s.

“...I think I can see what you mean now. Yep.”

Army smirked, their eyes twinkling. “Touch it, if you wanna. You get special touchy privileges cause you’re my partner.”

“I thought you didn’t like people touching your-” Eli started, but was cut off when Army suddenly sat up, scooting their hips forward on the couch and resting their hands on their knees, pushing their belly forward and right into his face.

“I know you wanna. C’mon. Before I change my mind.”

There was a devilish smirk on their face, and it sent a shiver down Eli’s spine…but not a bad one. In all its glory, there was their belly, almost touching his nose. What else was he supposed to do but what they asked?

“Touch it.” They softly demanded, and Eli’s hands practically shot up to cradle the bottom of her belly, feeling their warm skin against his palms.

“Mmh.”

“What do you think…?” They asked in almost a seductive tone, and Eli sighed, stroking his thumbs across the taut skin.

Army smirked as they peered over the top of their belly at their love, looking so woozy and heartsick at the sight. His hands felt cool against their warm belly.

“Well?” They finally asked, their voice low, and Eli looked up.

“Huh?”

“Are you gonna rub it, or not?”

“You want me to…”

“You heard me.” Army grinned at him and pushed their hips a little closer to him, and Eli groaned softly under his breath as their stomach lurched under his palms.

After a small moment, he slowly began to rub their belly, pressing his palms and fingertips against their warm skin and tracing small circles on either side. Army took a deep breath, then sighed, leaning their head back against the back of the couch and looking down at him with a satisfied smile on their face. “That’s more like it.”

Eli gave them a small, almost shy smile, then kept it up, his moves getting a bit bolder as he continued. Soon enough he was pressing his full palms across their belly widthwise, then cradling the bottom and drawing them up slowly toward the top. He seemed almost in awe of the massive gravid mound as he worked, and his mind was whirring with all kinds of thoughts.

He could almost feel where the baby was sitting, but he didn’t know if that was a butt or a head he could feel underneath their skin. As he pressed his palms upward, he passed over what could only be an elbow, and a small smile flickered on his face as he lingered at the spot, smoothing his fingertips over it before the baby shifted and it receded.

Army chuckled, resting one hand behind their head and leaving the other one relaxed across the top of the curve against their chest. “I think they like that.”

“Yeah?” Eli lifted his eyes to their face again, and crookedly grinned at the nod in acknowledgment.

Eyes still twinkling, Eli looked back at the belly between his palms, slowly drawing his hands down either side before coming to rest on the lower curve. He hesitated only a moment, breath catching in his throat, before leaning in and pressing his lips to their skin, just over their popped out bellybutton.

Army melted into a smile and closed their eyes, biting their lip a little bit. “Mmh. There ya go…good boy.”

Another shiver ran down Eli’s spine, and he huffed through his nose, stroking his hands slowly up the sides of their belly as he inhaled and kissed again, almost drinking in the smell and the feeling of the taut, tight skin under his lips. “You’re so beautiful…” He mumbled against their skin, and Army couldn’t help but smile bigger, lifting and wriggling their hips ever so slightly.

“Tell me more…” They purred, and Eli sighed through his nose, drawing his hands back down their gravid mound to rest on their hips and feel their swollen sides.

He kissed slowly down to their button, nuzzling his nose against the popped-out spot, before tilting his head to the side and softly kissing at almost the underside of the belly curve. As he did so, one hand wandered up and rolled soft circles around their newly formed outie. “You drive me crazy…just looking like this.”

Army couldn’t help but smile wider, resting both hands behind their head and taking in a deep breath. “Mmh. That feels so good, my love…more, now.”

Their voice was all but a purr, and Eli grunted gently as he listened, wanting with all of him to listen to their command. He slowly lifted his head and rested both hands on their belly, scooching himself a little bit closer to them.

With a deep inhale, he pressed his hands against their skin with a gentle pressure, sliding them across their stomach and slowly back to almost cradle their sides and hips. As he did so, he nuzzled his nose against their skin, just above their button, and let his jaw fall open just a bit.

Almost lazily, he lapped his tongue out, then drew it up. Army grinned and bit their lip, unable to hold back a very soft moan. They’d been aching for this ever since they first caught Eli staring at their belly in their second, almost third trimester. The bigger they got, the worse it had gotten, until they couldn’t ignore it anymore. They had suggested some fooling around once, but Eli had gotten nervous about hurting the baby, or getting too aggressive.

Turned out all he had needed was the right kind of encouragement.

“Ooh, good boy…” They sighed, and they felt Eli smile and shiver against their skin as he continued his rubbing and nuzzling. “I’ve been waiting for this…I’m glad you finally decided to take advantage of this belly, you almost missed your window…”

Eli sighed softly through his nose and drew his hands back up their belly with a gentle pressure, making Army moan as the weight was lifted off their lap a little bit.

“I was nervous…”

“Mmh…I know you were…but you don’t have to be…it feels…so good.” Army melted into a deep, happy moan, and Eli nodded, giving them another deep kiss right above their middle.

After a moment more, Army almost couldn’t take it anymore. They reached down with one hand and grabbed gently at Eli’s hair, tugging a little. “Mm. Up. C’mere.”

Eli jerked his head up and looked up at his partner, blinking his eyes as he tried to register what was going on. Once his brain caught up, he quickly scrambled to his knees, his excitement plainly showing under his loose pj pants. “Where do you want me?”

“Here, sit here…” Army grumbled, all but slapping their palm on the couch beside them, and Eli quickly crawled up to sit, starting to turn and face his partner.

Before he could do much shifting, though, Army had their hand on the back of the couch and was hauling themself up, lifting one knee and turning so that they could plop right down on Eli’s lap, straddling his legs and looking into his eyes.

Grabbing at his face, Army pulled him in and roughly kissed him, their belly sandwiched tight between both of their bodies. Eli half-moaned into the kiss, one hand coming up to grab at their belly and one hand bracing himself against the back of the couch. His mind was absolutely exploding with fireworks, and he was sure that Army could feel his excitement from their seat.

Inhaling slowly through their nose as they kissed him, Army stroked their thumbs across his cheeks. Their heart was pounding, but they couldn’t let it show. Being able to feel this powerful while THIS pregnant was not a feeling they were about to let go to waste. Besides…they definitely could tell Eli was enjoying himself, and they wanted to feel that good too.

Letting out a soft moan against their lips, Army very slowly and almost methodically rolled their hips forward, pushing their belly against Eli’s chest and stomach and grinding their open hips against his. They felt a shiver roll through Eli’s body underneath them, and they couldn’t help but smirk, breaking the kiss to whisper against his lips.

“Not too heavy for you?”

Eli grunted in surprise, then shook his head, hand rubbing back and forth against the lower side curve of their belly…in his lap. “Nope. No, no, this is…this is great. Oh wow.”

“Good.” Army grinned at him, then closed their eyes and braced their hands on his shoulders, slowly pulling their hips back before pushing them forward again.

It wasn’t just the feeling of their hips grinding against his - which was already incredible and making his mind a little fuzzy - it was the weight of their belly in his lap, and the bump of it into his own midsection as they rolled their hips. Unable to control himself, he grunted and leaned in, pressing his hand tightly against their belly and all but slamming his lips against theirs.

Army giggled and slid their hands up to tangle in his hair as they deeply kissed, nipping at lips and melting into each other, belly pinned between them, weight on them both, bulging against Eli’s own stomach and resting against his thighs.

Eli scrunched his nose a little and slid his hand further up to their swollen side, inhaling deeply. Army took advantage and nipped at his dropped lower lip, turning their head to the side and slowly arching and pushing their hips up against his hand.

They were both rocking now, braced against each other and the couch, softly moaning half-words and whispering each others’ name against aching kissing lips and amid panting breaths.

After a few moments, Eli couldn’t take it anymore. He grabbed Army firmly by the hip and dropped his other hand to their waist, turning and tipping them over onto their back on the rest of the sofa. Army grunted in surprise at being moved away from Eli, blinking up at him, but simply shifted and yanked off their top once their brain caught up.

Eli was sat up working on his pants, quickly yanking them down and tossing them aside a little clumsily. The two finally locked eyes, almost immediately beginning to laugh. Army opened their arms, and Eli all but threw himself at them, lips crashing together in a deep and sideways kiss. One hand planted itself underneath him, just under Army’s hip, and the other immediately dove between their legs, pressing against them and feeling the heat radiating from under their shorts.

Army groaned and almost growled against his lips as soon as he touched them, one knee flopping open and the other lifting to hook lightly around his waist, pinned there between him and the back of the couch. They wanted to command him, to ask him to do more, but they also didn’t want to stop kissing them, so instead, one of their hands slid up to tangle in and pull lightly at his hair, the other hand coming down to lazily rest on the middle of their belly.

Eli inhaled deeply through his nose, rubbing and pressing against them for a moment before breaking the kiss and sitting up a little. Army grumbled and pouted as he pulled away, but once they felt his hands on the waistband of their shorts, they nodded and lifted their hips a bit to help him take them off.

He clumsily wriggled them off, along with their underwear, and left them hanging on the shin of the leg pinned against the couch. They’d deal with that later. He immediately dove back in and slammed his lips against theirs, who welcomed him back against them by nipping at his lip and throwing their other arm around his shoulders.

His hand immediately dove to cup their slit, hot and already wet. With a soft moan, he deepened the kiss and curled his body tighter against his love, his stomach pressing against their belly. Just that feeling made him shiver all over again, and Army smirked against his lips as they felt him get even harder against the base of their belly.

Ely slowly began exploring with his fingers, rubbing up and down their slit and smoothing his fingers over their labia. Army almost melted, small, happy shivers of excitement running up and down their body. As Eli’s fingers brushed past their clit, they broke the kiss and moaned, tugging hard at his hair. Eli smiled, then nuzzled his face into their shoulder as he continued stroking his hand up, to cup just the base of their belly at their pubic bone.

Army growled in his ear, rocking their hips almost fitfully upwards a bit. “Eli, I swear-”

“I gotcha, shush.” He grumbled right back, slowly sliding his hand back down and resting his fingertips against their clit. “Lemme love on you.”

“Jeezus.” Army grumbled, but tilted their head to give him better access to their neck at the same time.

Eli chuckled softly and rocked his own hips, his erection pressing against the lower curve of their belly. With a shaky inhale, he began rubbing their clit with small, circular strokes, and smiled as Army’s grumbling dissolved into deep, happy moans.

Lifting the arm that had been resting on their belly, Army grabbed hard at Eli’s hip, pressing their palm against him to egg on his own rocking. Eli smiled a little bit, and slowly, the two of them found a rhythm again, rocking, grinding against each other, mixing with Eli’s rubbing and stroking.

Every so often he slowly slid his fingers down and rubbed at their labia, then slid right back up to their clit, heel of his hand pressing lovingly against their pubic bone.

Army was overcome with shivers, happy hormones and endorphins coursing through them. They’d practically ached for this for so long - and it was hard to pleasure yourself with a belly this big. It felt almost like a release just to be here, with him so close. Their heart pounded in their chest, and breath hitched in their throat as they shifted their hips just a bit, not wanting things to end too soon.

“Mmn,” Eli grunted as he felt them shift, sliding his fingers down to lovingly cup their slit. “You okay?”

“M’fine.” Army grunted. “Close. Don’t you dare stop, so help me.” Their voice was hoarse and scratchy in Eli’s ear, and he couldn’t help but smile to himself, glad he could make his partner feel this good.

Slowly, he slid his fingers back up to their clit, pressing his lips against their neck as he began to rub, trying to keep in rhythm with his own rocking. It was that damn belly. Army had been attractive before, of course, but this…this had just changed things. He could feel their pulse beneath their skin, hot and beginning to get sticky with sweat, and his own heart was hammering hard in his ears. Not to mention other things that were throbbing.

Gritting their teeth, Army clenched their hand in Eli’s hair and pulled a little bit, huffing through their nose. Their other hand stayed pressed hard against his hip, fingers stretching around to almost cup his backside. His movements, grinding against their belly, feeling his hips working as well as the feeling of his erection against their belly, lurching a bit with each shift and rock, made their brain feel foggy. in almost a delicious way.

Their toes curled a bit, and Eli hummed softly against their neck as he felt them tense underneath him. Slowly, he kissed down to their collarbone and nipped their skin, inhaling through his nose.

Army groaned softly, turning their head, and Eli lifted his just in time for the two to crash together into a passionate, grumbly kiss. Army lifted their hand off his backside to throw their arm around his shoulders instead, humming a soft grunty groan against his lips, and Eli smiled, speeding up his movements a little bit.

The two settled again into that lovely rhythm, Army gently rolling their hips ever so slightly to help their belly roll against Eli’s erection, and Eli timing the nimble movements of his fingers to go along with it. The two kept their lips locked together as long as possible, huffing through their noses. It was like they both had been starved for that connection, and they could feel the ache rolling through their bodies as they finally gave in to their desires.

Legs trembling, Army groaned after a moment, their jaw dropping and hips jerking upward a bit. Eli kissed at their chin and jawline, speeding up a little bit more and murmuring in their ear as they arched, “Don’t fight it. I gotcha. Cmon…”

Army normally would have playfully growled at him, but their breath was stuck in their throat and they felt themselves beginning to lose control, mind fuzzy and body all but tingling, so they finally let themselves go. Their release came moments later, a groan rumbling in their throat and their back arching as they melted into their orgasm.

Eli smiled and kissed lovingly at their neck and jawline as they came, slowing his movements but not stopping completely. He murmured soft nothings into their ear, cupping their dripping slit with his full palm once they began to come down the other side.

Finally, Army opened their eyes halfway and turned their head toward their partner, giving him a kiss on the corner of his mouth and smiling crookedly up at him as they tried to catch their breath. “Damn.”

Eli chuckled and wiggled his eyebrows, and Army laughed breathlessly, kissing his lips again. After a few moments of gentle kissing, Army patted his backside and pulled away, stroking their other hand down his neck. “Alright babe, your turn. Cmon.” They held their hand down toward his boxers, and Eli blinked at them innocently.

“Huh?”

“Oh c’mon. Like I couldn’t feel that shit. Gimme.”

Eli flushed a little bit, but nodded, biting his lip as he sat back on his heels a bit and pulled his boxers down his thighs, freeing himself. Army grinned, then took hold of his shaft, beckoning him forward a little with the other hand.

Looking confused, Eli leaned forward. Understanding bloomed across his face as Army pressed his erection to their belly, leaving their hand on top. “I can’t do much of the moving, y’know, but this might be the next best thing.”

“A-Are you-” Eli choked out, already starting to press his hips forward.

Army rolled their eyes, face still flushed a little even as they smirked up at him. “I wouldn’t offer it if I wasn’t sure, now c’mon. Give this belly of mine some love.”

Biting his lip (partially to hide a smile and partially because their hand felt so good against him like that), Eli carefully leaned forward a little bit to rest his hands against their belly, one on each side. Army grinned up at him from below him, and he couldn’t help but snort a laugh as he slowly began to roll his hips, grinding himself against their hand and their belly.

Shivers immediately rolled up and down his spine, and he held back a groan, closing his eyes and dropping his head forward, smile vanishing in favor of a more relaxed expression. Army smiled, stroking the side of his shaft with their thumb as he rocked his hips. They couldn’t lie to themselves…this felt good to them too, especially with their body still tingly and sensitive coming down from their orgasm.

As Eli rocked and rolled his hips, he huffed softly through his nose, stroking one hand slowly in big circles against the side and top of Army’s gravid belly. They felt incredible underneath him, and against him, and all he could think about was the movement of their belly underneath his throbbing erection.

It wasn’t long before he could feel himself getting close, and he gritted his teeth, his movements speeding up. He rubbed and gently stroked at Army’s belly with both hands, and Army found themself groaning softly along with him, letting their eyes drift closed.

The two synced up again, Army’s subtle and loving movements with their fingers pressing him against their belly mixing with Eli’s firm rolling of his hips. He slid his hands in circles around their belly almost as if he was drinking them in, soft groans rumbling in the back of his throat as he cupped their gravid mound between his palms.

He knew he was getting close, and he wanted every bit of that incredible belly to feel it.

With a grunt and a few last thrusts of his hips, Eli very quickly came, brow furrowing as he released against Army’s belly. His partner forced their eyes open and grinned as they watched him, fingers gently stroking his shaft until he was spent.

Eli groaned and dropped his head forward, panting, and Army let go of him, resting their hand against the sticky lower curve of their belly and just smiling up at him. The room was quiet except for their breathing as they tried to catch up, both partners tingly and ecstatic.

Army was the first to break the quiet, speaking softly with a smirk on their face.

“Ok babe, I’m gonna get a cramp, can you move just a tad so I can get my legs down?”

“God, sorry…” Eli chuckled sheepishly and carefully moved aside, flopping down onto his butt on the couch cushion. With a groan, Army let their legs fully extend, draping them across his lap and wiggling their toes.

“Mmmh…” They mumbled quietly, smiling as they carefully stretched before relaxing down into the cushion. “That was…pretty amazing.”

“Uh…yeah.” Eli looked over at his partner, and the two gave each other huge, flushed-face smiles, basking in the afterglow. After a moment, Eli leaned way over, elbow on the back of the couch, to kiss at Army’s lips, a chaste and loving peck.

Once they pulled apart, Army stretched their arms up, then wiggled their fingers at him. “Alright. Your next job is to help me up and to the shower. I am not going to bed sticky and covered in Eli juice.”

“Ew, Eli juice? Seriously? Why’d you call it that?!” Eli snorted a laugh as he got up, grasping their (still slightly sticky) hands and helping them up to a sitting position, belly lurching into their lap.

“Oof. Cause it’s true.” Army grinned up at Eli before getting off and waddling toward the bathroom, clothes clutched in one hand. Eli shook his head and flopped back down on the couch, watching them go before heaving a big sigh and looking at the forgotten game remotes on the coffee table.

Maybe they could do that again before the baby got here.
