A warm glow bracketed his heart.Here she was, lying naked in his arms, introducing herself.How much clearer could she make it she was his woman?
“Judith says to say hi to you and Alice.”He felt his chest puffing with pride.
“Say hi back from us.”
“Tell them I know Polly,” Judith whispered loudly; he repeated it.“Judith knows Polly, they work together.”
He could hear Aaron relaying this fact to Alice in the background.He switched his phone to hands-free so Judith could hear as Alice’s voice piped up.“Oh, Judith the occupational therapist on Echidna Ward, right?Hi Judith.”
“Hi, Alice.”Judith waved at the phone.“Can you see me?”
“No, you don’t need to turn the camera on,” Carts said hastily.
“Got that.”Aaron’s voice held a smile.“Anyway, we’ve got some news.”
“You’re pregnant.”
Aaron laughed outright.“Give us a year or so more freedom, mate.No, we’re coming home early.”
“Seriously!”Carts’ heart bounced in his chest.He knew he’d missed them both, but now it hit him just how much.He sat up and Judith wriggled up with him so now they both had their backs against the headboard.
He glanced at her, her eyes wide with excitement as she gave him a thumbs up.
“That’s fantastic.When?”he asked.
“In a week.Alice is getting homesick and I’m wanting to have some time free before I start my new job in Legal Aid.”
“That’s brilliant mate.”
“Would you be able to meet us at the airport?We arrive on Sunday.”
“Love to.”
“Our flight gets in mid-afternoon, I’ll text you the details.And… feel free to bring Judith with you.”
Carts mouthed, “Want to?”and she nodded vigorously.No hesitation meant no hesitation that they would be together in a week.
He knew he didn’t need to feel insecure, but the habit had been years in the making.He guessed it would take more than a week to shed it completely.By now Judith had slipped out of bed and as he finished his conversation and said his goodbyes, he stared longingly at her departing figure.
He wanted her so badly again he was at risk of panting.
He didn’t have to wait long.She padded back a moment later, a white towel loosely wrapped around her body.She threw another one on the bed.
Brows waggled seductively over saucy eyes.
“What do you reckon to trying out the spa bath?”She licked her lips, turned and gave him a sexy as hell hip wiggle.
Faster than a speeding bullet, Carts shot off the bed, grabbed the towel and followed her.
A while later,after proving that two people over six foot could not only fit into the—admittedly giant—spa bath, but also make love in it without too much water spillage, they dried each other tenderly, dressed and headed down to a buffet breakfast in the restaurant.
“I don’t think I’ve eaten this much in my life,” Judith said as she finally finished stuffing her face with bacon and eggs and pastries, and sat back rubbing the hard little drum of her stomach.“It feels very decadent, like I’ve been at a Roman feast.”She let out a big contented sigh.“This has been the best… most amazing night.I’ve never done anything like it before.And to be honest, I’ve never really had anyone I’ve wanted to do it with.”She glanced at him to see the warmth in his brown eyes.“Until now.”
“Same.”He reached over and took her hand in his.
“Wearegetting adventurous in our old age,” she laughed.
“Bungee jumping here we come.”
