She laughs. “Thinks?”
“Well, when he discovers that another child may send me over the edge and into the land of ‘I’m never fucking you ever again in case you put another baby in me’, I’m pretty sure he’ll realise how wrong all his thoughts were.”
“What is it with men who want kids running around everywhere?” she says. “J tried to push me for another one too.”
“You were smart. You stopped at three.”
“Honey, I couldn’t chance another girl. I’m already dying a little on the inside over what three teenage girls are going to be like to live with. J seems oblivious to what’s ahead for him. I kinda can’t wait to watch the realisation hit.”
The sound of bikes distracts us for a moment, and my stomach flutters to life in the way it always does, without fail, whenever Colt returns from a run.
Hell, it flutters like this when he returns from the supermarket after being away from me for only an hour.
Seven years after finding him, I still can’t get enough of this man.
“Right,” Madison says, and I know by the look in her eyes that she’s as excited to see J as I am to see Colt. “These salads are good to go. Do you wanna sort out the plates and cutlery while I get the other food out?”
“Sounds good,” I agree and move into action. The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can spend time with our men.
It takes us ten minutes and then we’re done.
I’m on my way out to find Colt when I run into him in the hallway.
Those eyes of his track my every step his way, first meeting mine before greedily making their way down my body. They still haven’t found their way back to my face when I reach him.
“You missed my ass, didn’t you?” I say as I move into him.
His hand goes straight to my ass and his lips find mine as he says, “I missed every-fucking-thing.” He then takes all the time in the world with my mouth, showing me exactly how much he missed every-fucking-thing.
I’m breathless when I come up for air.
Breathless with desire and breathless with love.
God how I’ve missed him this week.
Looping my hands around his neck, I say, “I don’t think I’m gonna allow you to go on a run ever again.”
He lifts a brow and hits me with an amused expression. He doesn’t respond to that, though. Instead, he says, “The kids with your mum tonight?”
I let my sexy smile loose on him. “The kids are with my mum all weekend, Mr Caveman.”
His grip on my ass tightens as heat fills his eyes. “Fuck, they might be the best fucking words I’ve heard all week.”
“I’ve got big plans for you. I hope you saved some energy for me.”
He dips his mouth to my ear. “Baby, you’re wearing a skirt. I’ve got all the energy in the world for you.”
We’re interrupted when Scott calls out, “Colt! Need you for a bit, brother.”
Colt lifts his chin at Scott before smacking my ass and saying, “We’re not staying long tonight.”
I smile as I move out of his embrace. “I didn’t plan on it.”
It’s my turn to track his every step as he strides towards Scott.
I thought Colt’s body was perfection the day I met him. It turns out it was almost perfection. He’s added some more muscle over the last seven years. Not a lot, but enough to make a difference, and I am here for it. He’ll turn forty next year, and as far as I’m concerned, he’s only improving with age.
My phone sounds with a text as I make my way into the clubhouse bar.
