“Yes, but no. Not too tired to spend some time with you.”
“Good, I was thinking about going out to sit on the swing under the stars.”
Our room here is a duplex suite on the top floor, featuring a loft bedroom that opens onto a rooftop deck. LaSalle had a huge swing installed up there for stargazing and just someplace to kick back. It’s large enough that the kids can all still fit with the two of us.
I think it’s one of my favorite things about the island as well as the kids’. The family time we have out there is priceless. I have so many amazing pictures and memories of our family out there.
“That sounds great. I’m game.”
He pulls back the sheets for us to both climb out of bed. Grabbing my hand, he then leads me to the double doors and out to the swing in the middle of the deck.
Once at the swing, he lifts me and places me on the large bed, then holds the heavy chains to keep the swing in place as I crawl across to the middle. When I get to the center, I turn to find him climbing on. His muscles move and flex beneath his tanned skinas he crawls toward me like a panther dressed in only a pair of black silk sleep pants.
I sit cross-legged while watching him. His gray eyes are bright and full of a look I haven’t seen in a long time. He’s fully relaxed and content.
Pecking my lips when he reaches me, he then moves to sit behind me as I sit between his long legs. I sigh and lean back into his chest as I turn my head up to the clear night sky.
“This is nice,” I say with a smile on my face.
“Mm-hm. It is. Maybe we’ll get to sleep in a bit in the morning.”
“I believe we will. Onyx has a lesson planned for all the kids two and over. They’re going to be so adorable.
“Lovie promised to record it for me. After that, Cakes and Snacks are going to have a music and baking session with all the children. Movie time is scheduled sometime after that, right before lunch.
“My massage and facial aren’t until one. That means we can hide out until then. I am yours and you are mine all morning,” I purr.
“I like the way that sounds. Should I release the canopy? That way we can sleep out here without getting baked when the sun rises.”
“I’ll be fine, but sure. We wouldn’t want you to burn.”
“Whatever,” he chuckles. “I’ll let it down before we fall asleep for the night.”
“It’s so peaceful here. I think we should agree here and now to take a break once a year and come here to just be normal.”
He laughs. “Normal? Haven’t we tried that before?”
“Ugh, you know what I mean. Our normal. Time to breathe outside it all.”
He kisses the back of my neck. “Yes, I know what you mean. It’s a good idea and a promise. I’ll make sure we stop to come here for at least two weeks a year. Deal?”
“Deal. LaSalle?”
“Yes, baby?” he says as he runs his hand down my arm, then back up to glide to my breast.
“You know I love you, don’t you?”
“I might, but it wouldn’t hurt for you to tell me again.”
I smile and reach up to take his lips in a kiss. He takes over and groans as he pulls me in close. The warmth of the night air wraps around us as the breeze off the ocean kisses our skin.
A whimper leaves my lips as he squeezes my breast and slips his other hand into my satin shorts. He finds my wet seam with his long fingers and pushes them into me. The sound of my wetness and his groans mix together as he devours me.
I reach into his sleep pants for his growing erection and wrap my hand around him. He growls and flips me onto my back, climbing between my legs. Then he presses his forehead to mine.
“I love you more with each passing second. I want to make love to you until you’re shaking uncontrollably beneath me.”
“We have all night, handsome. Do as you please. I’m not going to stop you or complain.”
