“What’s the other thing?”
Grinning, I said, “With your plans for the day, it seems you’re not wasting any time on this wedding news.”
“Do you know how long I’ve waited for this, Ace? It’s like all my dreams have come true.”
My thumb moved from her cheekbone to her mouth, where I dragged it along her bottom lip. “There’s got to be more.”
“More what?”
“More dreams. Isn’t there anything else you want?”
Tessa took a moment to consider the question, and her eyes lit up. “Not yet. Not immediately. I want time for us to just be together. But I want babies with you, Ace. Lots of them.”
“Lots?”
She nodded.
“How many?”
“At least four.”
Four.
Four kids.
Tessa was one of four. No wonder she wanted so many.
Sensing my thoughts, she asked, “Is that okay? I mean, I’m sure I could be happy with three.”
“We can have four. I’d give you five, if that’s what you wanted.”
She arched a brow. “Don’t tempt me, handsome.”
I laughed, lifted my head from the pillow, and touched my lips to hers. “So, a wedding and babies.”
“A wedding, lots of time together as just the two of us, and then babies.”
That worked for me. “How soon do you want to get married? I’m sensing this is going to happen quickly.”
She beamed at me. “Why would I not want you to be my husband for as long as possible?”
I chuckled again. “Fair point.”
“Assuming you like my plans for the wedding, I’d love to do it within the next six months.”
“Really?”
She nodded. “Absolutely.”
“Then pick your day, Princess.”
“We might need to make tweaks to the plans first,” she countered.
“Why?”
“Because you might not like something.”
Smiling, I wrapped my arm around her lower back and squeezed. “Are you going to be there?”
