“I think maybe we should try again tonight.” He nuzzles my neck from behind and I close my eyes as I smile.
“You’re just trying to see if you can prove the doctor wrong,” I tease.
We decided two girls and two boys were enough for us to handle, so he gave his soldiers their marching orders and he got a vasectomy last year. I was really sad the day it happened even though we both knew it was the right decision, but I have to say that telling him he can’t get me pregnant might have been the worst decision ever. Now he wants to have sex even more than before just to see if he can make it happen.
“Life finds a way.” He quotes Jurassic Park and I laugh as I turn in his arms to face him.
“Thank you,” I say, feeling suddenly mushy.
“You’re welcome, but for what?” He kisses me sweetly on the lips and then I rest my head on his chest.
“This, our kids, my life. All of it, Brian. I love you so much and this has all been more than I could have ever dreamed of. It’s because of you that I’m here in Paris.”
“You said this was the one place you always dreamed of going.” I feel him kiss the top of my head and I close my eyes.
“It is, but it’s more than that.” I look up into his eyes and feel mine begin to water. “This was something that I never thought was a possibility. It was along the lines of growing wings and flying away from my life. Coming to Paris, and with the man I love?” I shake my head. “You’ve given me the impossible and I can’t ever thank you enough.”
“You do it every day, beautiful. Don’t you see?” He wipes my tears away and smiles at me. “The way you take care of our babies and the way you love me. The way you’re always there to help my family or volunteer at the animal shelter. You light up my life in ways I didn’t think were possible, and every moment is better than the last.”
“Stop saying all this sweet stuff or I won’t stop crying.” I laugh through my tears as he leans down and kisses me softly.
“No more of that. This trip is about bread, remember?”
I laugh again and nod at him. “All the carbs.”
“That’s right. Sex and carbs.” He kisses me again, and this time it’s deeper.
My desire stirs and I’m ready to get into bed with my husband and not come out for hours. As if reading my mind, he picks me up in his arms and carries me towards the bedroom.
“Now get in here and take off your clothes and let me have my way with you.”
“We won’t have any kids in our bed with us tonight to spoil our fun,” I say as I undo the buttons on his shirt.
“Don’t say that or I’ll start to miss them,” he says and pokes his lip out.
I shake my head and then squeal as he tosses me on the bed. “We’ll FaceTime them in a couple of hours and say good morning.”
“I just hope Sage and Jensen can handle them,” he says as he takes off my shoes and kisses his way up my legs.
“They’ve got your parents to help, I’m sure they’ll be fine.” I’m not so sure, but I’m trying to sound positive so Brian won’t worry.
He loves us all so much and being away from the kids is new for us. But a week with just the two of us is going to be absolute bliss and I’m going to try and enjoy as much of it as I can while sandwiching in FaceTime with our babies.
“I think a distraction might be nice,” he says as he pushes up my dress and wiggles my panties down my hips.
“That sounds like a really good idea.” I spread my legs shamelessly as he lowers his mouth onto my pussy. “Oh god!”
When I tell him later that night that all of my dreams have come true, he whispers that it’s time for us to come up with new ones. He’s right, but I don’t know if my heart can hold any more happiness. I guess we’ll just have to find out.
THE END
