Simon has never considered himself someone who would follow the ideals of beauty when it comes to fashion or body.

He didn't care what was trendy now, his jacket was five years old, and he wasn't going to change it until there were holes in it. He saw no point in spending extra money on what he already had. Moreover, he was not picky about the colors of his clothes. The only thing that made one of his black T-shirts different from the other one was the shade, which had lost its brightness over many washes.

And even more so, he never paid much attention to how his body fits the standards of beauty for a man. All the muscles on Simon's body were not a whim, but rather a necessity. He trained to carry weapons, to be fast and agile, that's all.

Of course, Simon was not stupid and understood that his biceps, which he did not hide, especially in the summer, attracted girls. Hell, he even enjoyed it when he was younger.

But now, when he was thirty-seven, with a ring on his ring finger and a crying three-month-old baby boy in his arms, the last thing he was thinking about was whether he looked attractive enough at that moment.

Alex's birth brought with it a mountain of changes in his usual daily routine. Morning runs almost always didn't take place, and instead he changed his son's diapers or helped you clean the kitchen, which you didn't find the strength to do last night.

He was busy enjoying a well-deserved few weeks at home, spending time with his spouse and newborn son, who was perfect. When he wasn't crying, of course, and especially not in the middle of the night. And all this sitting at home with delicious homemade food cooked by you turned it into...

"What?" He asked, froze on the threshold and noticed your hungry gaze.

It's not that you were not a fan of your husband's body, no. You loved his strength, which you could use to protect yourself when you needed it.

Still, it was the fact that you became the one who saw Simon not as a walking sex, but as a man with his own difficulties and traumas, that caused your marriage. Simon settled in with you, he loved and trusted you.

And the way his stomach got a little softer couldn't escape your attention. And, damn, if you haven't thought about it before, you've now realized that dad bod was a damn attractive figure type.
