He gave me the most beautiful smile. “Ells…you’re pregnant?”
I nodded. He let out a yell as he picked me up and hugged the shit out of me.
“Oh god, Ellie, you’ve just made me the happiest man on earth!”
He pushed me up against the wall and looked into my eyes.
“I’m going to make love to you, sweetheart…slow, sweet love to you. ”
I bit down on my lip and wrapped my legs around him. As I felt him slowly enter my body, I put my head back against the shower wall and lost myself…body and soul…in his lovemaking.
I sat on the back porch, wrapped in a blanket, listening to the night sounds. I closed my eyes and thought back to the one moment that had changed everything. It was the first time Gunner had put his hands on me and took me to heaven and back.
I placed my hand on my stomach and silently thanked God for this baby. When I heard the back screen door open, I looked over to see Gunner walking out onto the back porch…butt-ass naked. I let out a laugh and shook my head.
“It’s a damn good thing that it’s three in the morning. You never know when Garrett will be walking up. ” I smiled at him.
He winked and sat down next to me on the swing. He wrapped himself up in the blanket with me. “What are you doing out here, Ells?”
“Thinking. ”
“Thinking about what?”
“How blessed we are. How happy you make me. ”
“You make me happy, too, Ellie. More than you’ll ever know. ”
“I know we should probably wait to talk about this, but I’m thinking after we have this precious little gift…” I glanced over at him as he looked at me. “Well, I’m thinking two is the perfect number. What about you?”
He put his arm around me and pulled me closer to him. “Two sounds like the perfect number. ”
I slowly let out the breath I had been holding. Why was I so scared to tell him that? “Gunner? Will you do something for me?”
“Anything, sweetheart. ”
“Will you take me inside and make love to me again?”
The next thing I knew, he was picking me up and carrying me back inside. On our way to the bedroom, he hit his elbow on the doorjamb, whacked my head on the bedroom door, and stepped on one of Gus’s toys. By the time we made it to our bed, Gunner was swearing, and I was laughing. He threw me on the bed and crawled on top of me.
“Oh, Mrs. Mathews, so you thought that was funny, huh?”
I nodded and giggled. “Yep!”
As Gunner kissed my neck and moved down to my nipples, I looked over and saw Gus standing in the doorway to our bedroom. I tried to ignore him, but I couldn’t.
“Gunner…”
“I know, baby…I want to sugar stamp you all over your body. ”
Wait. What? “Sugar stamp?”
Gunner looked up at me with that smile of his. “Yeah…kiss you with my lips all over your body. Sugar stamp you. ”
I tried really hard not to laugh, but I couldn’t help it. “Oh. My. God. I love you, Drew Mathews!”
He moved up and captured my lips with his as he slid his hand down and spread my legs open. He slowly began to touch on my clit. When his lips pulled away from mine, he made his way back down to my nipples. I looked back over to the doorway, and Gus was still sitting there…just staring at us.
“Um…Gunner. ”
