Of course. I can’t believe I didn’t realize before now that there’s a lot more to this than just a simple “honeymoon” trip.Kline and Georgia had tried to warn me, and still, I’d weaved my way around all the red flags like an Olympic downhill skier.
She had underlying reasons why she’d planned all this, and I felt like the biggest bastard on the planet for not fully realizing what had really been going on before now.
Fuck.
“Cass?” I questioned, my tone gentle as I stepped toward her. “Why do you think you need to get the wild and crazy out now? We’ve got time, baby. Hell, I’m kind of hoping we’ve got a lifetime.”
Frowning, she shook her head. “Because I’m going to be a mom soon, Thatcher!” she exclaimed through a sob. “I can’t do wild and crazy shit when I’m a mom! I can’t be Crazy Cassie anymore when our son is born! I have to be a normal mom! I have to be boring like Georgia!”
“Aw, honey,” I said, tenderness dripping from my voice as I wrapped her up in my arms. Her shoulders shook with emotion, and I held her tighter to my chest. “You’re always going to be crazy, Cass. Even when you’re a mom. That doesn’t need to change. Honestly, I don’t think it can. You and I, we’re a special set of people, and I guarantee that the mix of us is going to make a special kind of baby. Probably a little psychopath in his own right, you know? He’s going to need a mom who can handle him.”
“Really?” she asked, her voice shaky with tears.
“Baby, yes. He’s going to need a scare put into him a time or two—I’m sure of it. Plus, I’d be pissed at you if you got all boring like Georgia, because then that would mean I’d have to get all boring like Kline. And you and I both know that’s just not our style.”
“You promise?” she asked, leaning back to meet my eyes.
“I swear it, honey.” I swiped the dripping tears from her cheeks with my thumbs. “So, what do you say we blow this ghost town and go do wild and crazy shit in New York? You know, where there are more people? We can prank the fuck out of our friends until the cows come home.”
“You really mean it?” she asked, and a hint of a smile crested her lips.
“Of course I really mean it.” I gently touched my lips to her forehead. “You’re my whole world. And ever since I said ‘I do,’ it’s my sole purpose in life to make you, Cassie Kelly—the baddest, hottest, sexiest, craziest woman I know—blissfully fucking happy. All day, every day, for the rest of forever.”
She smiled, and I gave her a soft kiss to her full lips.
“So, you’re not mad I had a bit of a pre-baby crisis and dragged us to Panama City Beach and got us strippers and made you do a wet T-shirt contest and—”
“Baby, I’m not mad,” I cut her off with a smirk. “Even though this trip was fucking bonkers, I still loved it because I was with you, my favorite person in the whole damn universe.”
She smiled at my words. “But now you’re ready to go home?”
I nodded. “Fluff yes, I am.”
“Okay, T-bag. Let’s do it. Let’s go home.”
Instantly, I breathed out a sigh of relief and pressed a smacking kiss to her lips.
Thank fuck. We’re going home.
“Honey, I’m home!” I called out as I stepped off the elevator and into the entryway of Cass’s and my apartment. “Where are you?”
“I’m in the living room waiting on you to bring me some food!”
I grinned, slipped off my shoes, and carried the bag of takeout from a small Italian joint up the street from our place.
When I walked into the living room, my gorgeous wife was sitting on the couch with Philmore curled up beside her, and she’d never looked more beautiful or perfect for me.
“Tell me those bags contain breadsticks and spaghetti and meatballs, and I’ll blow you tonight.”
Okay, I take that back.Now, she’s never been more perfect.I raised the bag in the air and smiled. “The Supercock is going to be incredibly happy.”
She clapped her hands. “Woo-hoo!”
I chuckled softly as I closed the distance between us and set the takeout on the coffee table, and my hungry wife didn’t waste any time grabbing her container filled with her newest craving from the bag.
I’d barely even sat down before she lifted a big bite of spaghetti toward her lips, and I smiled. Nothing made me happier than making her happy.
“Oh my gosh, it’s so good,” she said through a moan. “Gah. I swear, I could eat this every day for the rest of my life.”
