“I was thinking of taking the kids over to the clubhouse later. Give you some peace. I know you have that project due soon.”
“You’re a mind reader,” I said, leaning my head into his side.
“You should take a little break after this job,” he said as his arm went around me.
“Get out of my head,” I said, smiling up at him.
Sure, I liked my work.
But I was burning the candle at both ends trying to keep my career going while I had four kids constantly demanding my attention. Even having Alaric home most of the time didn’t offset how often they simply needed me.
We didn’t need the money.
And I no longer had to have a career to make me feel like I was ‘doing something worthwhile’ like my mother always hammered home into me when I was growing up.
Being a mom and wife was more than enough for me. At least while the kids were still small.
“You know what else I’m thinking?” he asked, giving me a saucy look.
“The baby is going to be up in, like ten minutes,” I said.
“I bet I can make you come twice by then,” he said, that heated look in his eyes making my belly go all liquid.
“What about her?” I asked as our girl came walking back toward us, annoyed that her brothers wouldn’t let her mess with the lizard playground they’d created.
“That’s why God created these,” he said, producing his phone as he scooped her up, then brought her inside to deposit her in the baby’s playard with a game on for her to play with.
His hand reached for mine, and then we were running through the house like a couple of horny teenagers who found a few minutes to spend with each other when no one was around to catch them.
That was the beauty of it.
Things changed and evolved.
But the love?
The love was always there.
