“You’re my whole life.”
“Yes…” She panted. “Harder.”
“You’re mine, Heather.”
I grabbed her hips and moved faster.
“God, yes…yours…Josh…I’m gonna come. Oh God, yes! Yes!”
I could feel her pulsing down on me, and it was my undoing. I came so hard that I let out a moan and called out her name over and over. I hadn’t had an orgasm like that in a while. I pulled her to me and picked her up as I continued to pour myself into her.
She wrapped her arms around me and held on to me so tightly. “I love you, Josh. I love you so much.”
I walked us into the bathroom. I didn’t want to pull out of her, but I slowly did, and I gently put her down. I turned and started the shower. I stepped in and then reached my hand out for hers.
I picked up the soap and began cleaning her whole body off. She dropped her head back and made the sweetest noises as I took care of her. I washed every single inch of her beautiful body and then quickly washed mine as she rinsed off.
We made our way to the bed and crawled under the covers. I pulled her body up against mine as we lay there in silence. Nothing needed to be said. I could feel the love pouring from her body, and I hoped like hell she could feel mine.
I slowly began to let my body relax.
“I love you, Josh.”
“I love you more.”
“I love you more…plus infinity.”
I smiled as I drifted off to sleep. I dreamed of our new house with Will and Libby running in an open field, laughing, as a massive buck stood guard, watching them.
Three Months Later
“Will! Stop pulling Alex’s hair!” I shouted.
Alex went running to Ellie.
Heather was attempting to chase down Libby, who was running and screaming because a fly was after her.
“Okay, we need another plan of action. These four kids are going to drive me to drink!” Ellie said.
Jack and Grace started laughing.
Grace put her fingers to her mouth and whistled loudly. “Who wants watermelon?” she called out.
Jack walked up to Gunner’s truck and put the tailgate down. Then, he pulled out a cooler.
Will, Libby, Colt, and Alex all ran up to them. With Colt being the youngest, he’d learned quickly that he had to be fast, or he would miss out, and he was the first one there. Grace picked him up, handed him a huge piece of watermelon, and set him down in the bed of the truck. Soon, all four of them were sitting down there, eating.
I let out a sigh as I pulled Heather into my arms, and then I kissed her.
She smiled and looked over to Gunner. “I love your mom and dad.”
Gunner laughed. “So do I. So. Do. I.” He picked up the plans again. “So, if you think you’re happy with the layout of the house, the only other thing to do is decide where you want the house to be placed.”
Heather walked up and pointed to the plans. “Those wraparound porches are going to be heaven. I’d love to have the house face north and south but maybe slightly turned, so the back porches face the west a bit more. The sunsets out here are amazing.”
Gunner nodded his head. “I totally agree with you, Heather. The idea is to take advantage of the views. The ceiling-to-floor windows across the back wall will make it feel like y’all are outside, even when you’re inside.”
“I think that is my favorite thing so far.” Heather said with a smile.
