No one has to be told twice. They all scurry from the room, and I slam the door closed after them. I lock it so we won’t be disturbed. Then I pick her up in my arms and settle with her on the couch. She’s in my lap but she makes no effort to move. I’m counting that as a win today.
I put my finger under her chin, tilting her face toward me. “How…father?” I manage to get enough of the sentence out, worried that her tears have to do with her father. I haven’t gotten a report that her father’s condition has worsened. But right now, I’m getting thrown so much information that it’s possible I missed the message.
“He’s going to be OK,” she says and lets out a sigh. The one motion has all the energy draining from her body and she settles against my chest. My hand instantly goes to her back, and I rub slow, soothing circles. I know what she said last night, but I also know she didn’t mean it. She couldn’t have. We’re meant to be.
“I…” She drops her gaze from my face to my shirt collar. “Thank you for what you did. Up there.”
I want her to know exactly why I did that. “I…love…you.”
Just like that, the words are out there. But they don’t feel as scary as I always imagined they would. Maybe because I know even if she won’t say them back, she feels them too.
She presses her forehead to mine. “I love you too, my big mountain man.”
“No divorce,” I growl at her. I’m never letting this woman go, no matter what I have to say or do, she’ll always be mine. I’ll follow her to the ends of the earth and give away my entire fortune. I’ll move to damn California and become a hippie if that’s what it takes. But I’ll never, ever let this woman out of my sight again.
She lets out a shaky chuckle, her breath warm against my skin. “No divorce.”
I take her mouth in a kiss, deepening it when she whimpers. She shifts on my lap, spreading her thighs around me. Fuck, I love this. I love the way she’s grinding against me and panting into my mouth.
I reach for her shirt, shrugging out of it. She’s not wearing a bra, her tits swinging free. I wrap my lips around a pink bud and suck it into my mouth. She tastes like heaven everywhere, and I’ll never get enough of this. I’ll never get enough of pleasing my beautiful wife.
She groans softly and arches against me, letting me have my way with her bountiful breasts. She tugs on my ponytail to get my attention, calling my name in that breathy tone of hers.
Reluctantly, I release her nipple. It’s hard to focus through the haze of need and lust that’s coursing through my body. All this woman has to do is look at me and I’m hard as steel. I don’t ever see that changing, even after we’ve been together for decades.
“I want to live with you,” She says then adds the next word softly as if she’s feeling shy, “Forever.”
“Forever,” I repeat around the lump in my throat. I’ve found my forever. I thought I’d always be alone in my mountain cabin but thanks to this woman, the place is a home now. I can’t wait until we can fill it with children. I want a dozen daughters that look like their mama. I want to spoil them day and night.
Just the thought of her belly round with my kid ignites a new wave of lust and suddenly, I can’t get this woman’s clothes off fast enough. I reach for the center of her pants. They’re already wet and the thin material gives way easy enough.
She lets out a little gasp, but I don’t give her time to even process what I’m doing before I’ve shoved her underwear to the side and sunk my fingers knuckle-deep into her wet pussy. My thumb finds her clit and I strum it lightly.
She rides my hand like the good girl she is, always so responsive to my touch. She’s panting as she comes, desperate for the release that only I can give her. When I kiss her neck and suck on her soft skin, she detonates.
It’s so fuckin’ beautiful to watch the ecstasy on my woman’s face, to know I’m the one that gave her body these shudders of pleasure. It makes me feel like a king, a king who’s found his queen.
As her channel slowly relaxes again, I pull my cock from my pants and slide into her wet heat. We both groan at the contact, at the way it feels so right.
“Mine,” I whisper into her ear before I take her lobe, nipping at it.
