I rested my head on his chest. “You need to be there for the kids.”
“I’m going to say this and then we’re not going to talk about it anymore tonight, alright? You’re going to fight this and we’re going to raise these kids to rule the world, and then you and I will spend our sunset years in rocking chairs. You have to think like that.”
I nodded. “Do you think we’ll still be having sex during our sunset years?”
His body relaxed. “Yes.”
I settled in next to him, deciding I needed to take my own advice and simply savor the moment. I was laying next to a sexy man who loved me. I didn’t know what would happen in the future, but this moment was perfect.

Brayden
I woke when the heat of Terra’s body left mine.
I reached out and put my arm around her, tugging her back to me. “Where are you going?”
“I was going to put on clothes in case the kids come in.”
I lifted my hand to see the time on my watch. It was just after three in the morning. I put my arm around her again and pulled her to me, spooning my body around hers.
“Not yet.” I kissed her shoulder. I think I was still partly asleep, but my dick was well awake, which was strange considering the workout he’d been given hours earlier.
She didn’t resist and settled against me, her ass pressing on my dick. “You’re awake I see.”
“I’m not sure that he ever went to sleep. He can’t seem to get enough of you.” I slid my hand down her belly to the curls between her thighs. I gently rubbed a finger over her clit and then through her pussy. She let out a satisfied sigh.
There in the darkness of our room, I took my time caressing her pussy as I kissed her neck. When she was wet, I lifted her leg and slid my dick to her opening. Her body arched, as if she was offering her pussy to me. I pressed my hips forward, sliding inside her wet heat from behind. Our joint sighs filled the room.
I hadn’t realized just how much I missed Terra until tonight. It wasn’t just the sex, but the feeling of being a part of her. The first time I slid inside her, I finally felt whole again.
I wasn’t sure what was going to happen after tonight. I sure as hell was going to work to do better, not just because she needed me in sickness, but because I loved her and didn’t want to lose her. Not to cancer. Not to divorce.
Seeped inside her, I held her for a moment. “Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For not leaving. For meeting me in the middle. For…well for everything.”
She turned her head back to look at me. “I wouldn’t have left. That was just…I don’t know. It was a bad day I guess.”
I wanted to tell her there would be no more bad days, but with cancer treatment on the horizon, I figured I couldn’t make that promise. But I could vow to be a better husband.
“I’m going to do better.” I leaned in to kiss her.
“It wasn’t just you. I’ll do better too.” Her hand snaked back and wrapped around my neck. “Now make me come because I’m burning up.”
“Whatever you want, baby.” I rocked my hips forward and back, using my finger to gently flick over her clit. I was close to the edge. I gritted my teeth to hold off. I focused on the feel of her body around mine. Her breathing. The light sheen of perspiration on her skin.
“Oh…Brayden…” She moaned and her body went taut. Only then, as her pussy convulsed around my dick, did I let go and let my orgasm wash through me.
Later, as I lay in the dark with Terra sound asleep next to me, I worked through how I was going to be able to redo my schedule. Before, I was working to make sure I made it home by dinner, but now, I’d need to take more time off to help Terra with her appointments and take care of the kids. She needed me and I wanted to be there, but with the new cloud security system so close to completion, I was lost on how to eek out more time at home.
I woke a few hours later. The house was dark and quiet. Terra slept peacefully next to me. I hated that the night was over. I wanted to stay home, but if I was going to be taking time away from work, I needed to get the business issues delegated.
“Is it morning already?” Terra’s sleepy voice asked as I rolled out of bed.
“Sleep in, honey. I’ll get the kids ready and off to school.”
