She cocked her head. “For what?”
“For giving me another chance at all of you. After the other night I would never have been able to settle for less. So…thank you. I promise you won’t regret it.” Those had been a lot of vulnerable words for a man like him, but he could tell they were worth the discomfort they had cost him to speak aloud.
Her smile lit up every inch of his soul, and he dared to look forward to his future in a way he hadn’t thought he would again.
“Thank you for being man enough to handle all that I am.”
He grinned. “You’re welcome.”
“I’m not on any birth control, by the way,” she said, kissing his cheek.
“You’re mine. I’ll take care of you and any children we might have.”
She glanced up at him through her thick lashes. “Would you want more children?”
“I’d love the chance at another son.”
“Or daughter,” she said, looping her arms easily around his neck, seemingly in no more rush than he to separate their bodies or move away from the wall.
“I would worry about our daughter if she were half as beautiful as her mother.”
“That’s sweet,” she said, gaze softening. “Corny, but sweet.”
“Corny, huh?” he grumbled. “So I should stick to telling you how to please me in bed?”
“No, I like the corny stuff.” She winked. “And the telling me how to please you in bed.”
“Then why don’t you go into the bedroom and bend over the edge of the bed. I want to fuck my beautiful pussy from behind.” He pulled his already thickening cock from her body and gently let her slide to the floor.
“Yes, sir.” She smiled, standing on tip-toe to press a sweet kiss to his lips before scampering toward the bedroom with a giggle that made him grin.
“I like the way my ass jiggles when you run,” he called after her.
“I like the way it jiggles when you fuck me,” she said from the other room.
By the time he reached the door Frank was running to catch up with her, certain for the first time in years that there was a love story in his future.
