He nods. “We still have that bottle of wine that the cabin gave us as a wedding gift.”
“Yes, please.” I stand from the couch. “I’ll go change.”
“I’ll grab the wine and set it by the hot tub, then I’ll be up to change too.”
“Thank you.” I stand on tiptoes and press a kiss on his cheek. The smile he gives me is soft, and if I didn’t know better, I’d say it was loving. Rushing up to our room, I quickly change into my bikini and grab a couple of towels before heading to the upper level, where the hot tub sits on the balcony.
When I open the bedroom door, I bump into Legend. His hands land on my hips as he steadies me.
“Yikes. Sorry about that.” I smile up at him.
“You good?”
“I’m good. Just ready to enjoy our last night here.”
He nods. “I’ll be there in a minute. I poured us both a glass of wine.”
“Best husband ever.” I wink at him, and he chuckles.
I move to step around him and squeal when his hand connects with my ass. I stop and turn to look at him over my shoulder. He shrugs and disappears into our room. With my ass, which is stinging from his hand, and my pussy craving more of him, I make my way to the upper level, toss the towels onto a chair, and sink into the water, grabbing my glass of wine from the cupholder on the side.
This is the life.
I hear Legend as he joins me, but I keep my head tilted back and my eyes closed. “We should get a hot tub,” I tell him.
He chuckles. “You think so?”
“Definitely. But I get visitation rights when you divorce me.” My stomach twists at the thought of no more nights sleeping next to him. I keep reminding myself that’s our future, no matter how knotted with anxiety it makes me.
He’s quiet and doesn’t respond to my joke. I peel open one eye and lift my head just enough to see him. He’s staring at me with an intensity that has my body heating.
“Let’s not talk about divorce on our honeymoon.”
“Fine, fine,” I tease. “Thanks for the wine.” I take a long sip from my glass.
He reaches for his own and drains it before picking up the bottle, refilling his glass, and moving toward me to top mine off as well.
Instead of going back to his side of the hot tub, he settles on my side. I’m stretched out, so he pulls my feet onto his lap and begins to massage.
“A girl could get used to this,” I tell him.
“Good.”
I don’t have to look at him to know that he’s smiling. We talk about anything and everything. Being with Legend is easy. He’s laid-back and fun to be around. He’s been more serious lately, but I can only imagine the stress of marrying me to get his inheritance. It’s not fair—the steps he’s had to go through to make it happen—but I’m glad I could help him.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but the enormous bottle of wine is now empty, and my fingers are pruned. “I’m starting to look like an old woman.” I hold my hands up to show Legend as I giggle. Definitely too much wine.
He grins. “You’ll be sexy no matter how old you get. Besides, you’re married to an old man.”
“You’re not old.”
“When I’m fifty, you’ll be forty.”
“And?”
“You’ll leave me for a younger man.”
The breath leaves my lungs. He’s talking like we’ll still be married in twenty years. “I’d never leave you,” I tell him. Reaching over, I run my fingers through his hair, pushing it off his forehead.
