He smoothed the hair from her face.“Your brother and his girlfriend, Shay, are here to babysit so we can take off.”
“Okay.We’ll have to sneak out, or it will upset Tommy to see us drive away,” she said.
“They already have the kids in the backyard, so it’s safe to take off.”
“Good.”She started walking out of the bedroom before he caught her arm.
“Wait, sweetheart.You should put this wrap on just in case.If your brother sees you in another racy outfit, he’ll have a heart attack,” Damon said and grinned.
She rolled her eyes.“He’s such a wimp.”
Damon laughed and placed the wrap over her shoulders.“Now, we can go.”
They quietly walked out the front door of the house so their son wouldn’t hear them.Damon pulled away from home.
She glanced over her shoulder and then felt her husband take her hand.
“We won’t be gone long, baby.I know how anxious you are to be away from them for long periods of time.”
Emma relaxed back in her seat and turned to him.“Have I told you how much I love you?”
He smiled gently at her.“I’m not sure.I think you should tell me again.”
They both laughed.
Emma’s gaze turned to look out her window.She never would have thought she could be this happy, but it seemed every day brought something bright and sometimes new into their lives.Those two children were their heart and soul, and she felt blessed to have them.
She turned to look at Damon.“I want another child,” she blurted.
He whipped his head toward her.“For God’s sake, you just had our baby daughter four months ago, and you’re already thinking about another one?”
She grinned.“Yes.I’m not saying in the next year, but eventually I’ll want to start on another.”
They had stopped at a stop sign, and he smacked his forehead against the steering wheel.“You’re going to drive me to drink, woman.”
Emma giggled.“Naw, you’re tough.”
He glared at her.“One more and then we’re done.”
Her grin widened.“Oh, I think two or three more will be better.”
He stared at her for a moment.“Fuck.I’m going to lose this fight, too.Aren’t I?”
She nodded slowly.“I would guess yes.”
Damon growled something under his breath before he moved forward.“Hell, I felt another hair turn gray.”
She laughed.“I’ll love you no matter how much gray you have on your head.”
“Hell, you’d better because I have the feeling all my hair will be white within a few years.”
She thought that was hilarious.She had also told him the truth.She would find him sexy no matter how much gray he had.In fact, now that she thought about it, her need for more babies was all his fault.If he weren’t so delicious, she wouldn’t want him as much as she did.
She’ll have to bring up her theory later.Her husband had had enough shock for the night, and they hadn’t even gotten to the club.
The End
