We moved from the mobile home and built our own house near Coal’s. We’ve seen lotsof changes over the past ten years, most of them good—especially the life I’ve built with Nora. I wouldn’t change a minute of it.
As I approach the pool with Willow, my wife rises, water streaming down her bright pink bikini-clad body. She’s all lush, soft, beautiful curves after carrying our three babies, and she still takes my breath away.
Nora looks concerned as I approach. “Is she okay?”
Stopping by the side of the pool, I wrap my arm around my wife’s bare waist and pull her against my body. “She’s fine, darlin’. Just tired after running around with the big kids.” I lower my head and nip Nora’s lip, then swipe my tongue across it to take the sting away. “I’ll put her down on the lounger in the shade.”
Nora nods and gets out of the pool to follow me as I put Willow down, adjusting the umbrella to shade our baby.
Straightening, I turn to wrap my arm around Nora. I kiss her like I wanted to earlier but couldn’t with our baby in my arms.
“Your mum and dad are taking all the kids tonight,” she tells me when we break apart.
“Really?” I murmur, kissing my way up her neck to the corner of her mouth. “I’ll have to thank them. You know what that means, right?” I ask, nibbling her lips.
“What?”
“I get to make you scream as loud as I want.”
Nora tilts her head back to look at me, eyes heated and hazy with need. “I’ll look forward to it, handsome. Now kiss me like you mean it, so I’ve got something to hold me over until tonight.”
“With pleasure, darlin’,” I respond, bending her over my arm and kissing her as if my life depends on it.
Later that night, I make her scream just like I promised.
The End
