He kisses the tip of my nose. “You’re right, I did. So food, then we’ll go chop some wood.”
I squeal and jump out of the bed. “I’m going to shower real quick.”
I turn to go to the bathroom, and when I cross the threshold, he’s right behind me. “Fine, we’ll get cleaned up, food, then wood.”
His cock is hard again, pressing against my ass. I look over my shoulder at him in surprise. “We should probably conserve water, but I have to ask... I mean... I thought men couldn’t…”
He reaches into the shower and turns the water on. “I’ve discovered with you, I’m always hard, Nikki.”
I step under the spray of the water, and he follows me in. My hand wraps around his shaft. “Maybe we should deal with this wood first.”
He pulls me into his arms. “Fuck, you’re perfect.”
I slide to my knees and take him in my mouth, wanting him to see how perfect we both are... together.
Chapter 11
Ethan
It’s been almost a week since Nikki and I got married, and she’s leaving to go back to work.
I knew it was coming. She’s told me a few times that she would have to go back, but I ignored it and didn’t want to talk about it. Now the time has flown by, and we’re standing at the helipad waiting on my brother to pick her up.
“I don’t know why you can’t just go tomorrow.”
She squeezes my hand. “Because Bobby or another pilot would have to pick me up at seven in the morning. I don’t want to inconvenience anyone.”
I wrap my arms around her and pull her against my body. “We have pilots on standby. This is literally their job.”
She shrugs and leans her cheek against my chest. “Is that why you don’t want to fly back and forth... because you don’t want to inconvenience anyone?”
She pulls back enough to tilt her head back and look at me. “No. I mean sort of, but really it’s not practical. I never know what time I’m getting off of work. Sometimes we have to do emergency imaging, and it would be crazy to have a pilot waiting for me to get off work and drive me back and forth. I’ll be back later this week.”
I don’t say anything because I don’t trust myself. It’s on the very tip of my tongue to beg her to stay with me, but I know that’s ridiculous. She has a job that she loves to do.
When I don’t say anything, she pinches my waist. “Are you going to miss me, Mr. Cannon?”
I grab on to her hand and bring it to my lips. The sun is starting to set, and I’m thankful for the darkness because there’s no way I can hide the emotion from my face. “Yeah, I’m going to miss you, wife.”
Her lips curl up in a big smile. “I still love that.”
I hear the roar of the helicopter, and we stand next to each other as it lands. As soon as it’s safe, I grab her bag, and with an arm around her, I walk her to the helicopter. When I pull the door open, I help her in and stow the bag. As soon as I see her white knuckle grip on the edge of her seat, I remember that she’s afraid to fly.
I’m not ready to part ways yet anyway, so I climb in and shut the door behind me. My brother looks over at me in surprise and hollers over the sound of the blades, “Are you coming too?”
I nod and grit my teeth. I wish I could stay with her. Fuck, a part of me wishes that I could go home with her, but the fact remains she didn’t ask me to come with her, and I don’t know if I’m ready or not.
I clear my throat. “I’m going to go with you to take her home. I’ll fly back.”
Nikki is shaking her head next to me. “No, Ethan. You don’t have to do that, I’ll be fine.”
I give Bobby another nod, and he smiles widely at me before taking us up in the air. Instead of being scared, Nikki is talking to me about it being a waste of my time and she feels bad that I’m doing this.
I encircle her with my arms and bring her against me. I lean over and whisper in her ear, “It’s not a waste of time. I know how you feel about flying. I can’t believe I was going to send you off on your own.”
She shakes her head. “I wasn’t alone. Bobby is with me.”
There’s a pain in my chest, and immediately I know what it is. I don’t want her to depend on another man, even if it is my brother and I had asked him to look out for her. I want to be the man that she calls when she needs something... anything.
