Based in Virginia, the organization provided private security to anyone who could afford them. However, it wasn’t all they did. Right after Reese’s abduction, he’d hired the firm, and it’d been its Hostile Response Team that found Reese, not the police.
“Not a bad idea. I’ll call the firm tomorrow and arrange it.” Jake pushed his chair back and stood. “Right now, I’m going to find Charlie and Garrett.”
As much as he enjoyed spending time with the people around him, getting his wife in his arms and on the dance floor sounded like a phenomenal idea. “I’ll see you all later too.”
Taylor, along with the guests seated with her, was laughing when he approached. As soon as they saw him, though, they all fell silent and looked at him.
“We were just talking about you.” Judging by Mom’s smile, he didn’t want to know what embarrassing story she’d shared with his wife.
Great. After greeting everyone, Curt extended his hand toward Taylor. “Mrs. Sherbrooke, would you like to dance?”
They made it to the edge of the dance floor before he slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her in close.
They moved as one for a moment or two in silence before Taylor spoke. “Reese asked this morning when she’ll have a brother or sister.”
“Did she?”
“She did. And she said, if possible, she’d like either twin sisters or brothers, so she gets a lot of siblings faster.”
“Of course she said that. What did you tell her?” They’d discussed having children at some point, but not when they wanted it to happen.
“That we couldn’t promise twins. But hopefully, she’d have a sibling soon.”
“How soon were you thinking?” If it were up to him, next year at this time, they’d have a fourth member of their family.
“We’re going to be alone for the next week and a half. I say we spend most of that time trying to give Reese what she wants.”
“You won’t get any argument from me there, Mrs. Sherbrooke.” Touching her face, he pressed his lips against hers. When he pulled back, he found her smiling at him.
“I think that should be your new motto. We can have it put on a sign and then hang it over your desk.”
“I got a better motto.” He lowered his head toward hers again. “I love you.” He covered her lips with his before she could answer.
