“It’s not for sale.”
She frowned. “Was it a commissioned piece?” Everything inside her wanted to slide into it and drag him in with her.
“Nope. I thought we should have something nice for the new house.”
“For the…”
“I know we’ve had some setbacks in getting the plans for our house settled, but I think you might want to look a little closer at the pillows.”
“The pillows?” She turned back to the bed and noticed there was a tube along the pillows. She’d thought it was a bolster, a decorative pillow. She rounded the bed and took the tube. “No.”
He smiled, leaning his hip on the bed. “Open it up.”
Kendall pried the lid off the end of the tube. Her heart stopped. A roll of paper inside with a perfectly amazing blue tint stared back at her. She shook it out on the bed and unrolled it. “We’re good to go?”
“Finally got the loan to finalize yesterday. Kain overnighted the plans—” He grunted as she vaulted into his arms.
“We get to start on the house?”
He laughed. “We get to start on the house.”
“Holy crap.” She wrapped her arms and legs around him. “This is the best Valentine’s Day present ever!”
“And first anniversary present. I think it’s paper, right? For the gift?”
Tears pricked as she buried her head in his neck. She peppered his neck with kisses, then his jawline and pushed back the hair he’d let grow out. “God, I love you.”
“I love you too, Kendall Justice. I’d hoped to have you in the new house by our first anniversary, but at least I could do this.”
“Our anniversary isn’t until the twenty-eighth.”
He snorted. “Kain’s crew is good, but they’re not that good.”
She shook her head. “I mean as an anniversary gift.”
“Oh, well, that’s the blueprints. I couldn’t wait. Besides, it’s only your first gift. The bed is for Valentine’s Day.”
“I wholeheartedly approve.” She kissed him softly, drawing out the humming passion that was never far away. “So how are you supposed to top the bed next year?”
He scraped his teeth down her throat and tumbled her onto the sheets. “I’ll think of something.”
