I blink at her, not sure I heard her correctly. My dick definitely heard her. He's rock hard, thinking about her in nothing but sexy lingerie on the back of my bike. Fuck. Maybe I don't need to work today.
"I hired a photographer and everything," she says, pouting at me. "It was supposed to be a surprise for our anniversary."
"Is the photographer a man or a woman?" I demand.
"Does it matter?"
I narrow my eyes on her.
"You're so ridiculous," she huffs. "I hired a woman, caveman."
"Maybe I should stay home with the kids today," I mutter, pulling her into my arms. "I don't feel well. I could have the flu."
Catriona throws her head back and laughs loudly. "I love you, but you have to leave our house, Andreas. Autumn is coming to watch the kids."
Autumn and her family live in Silver Spoon Falls full-time now and have for the last five years. She had her own journey to take, but it ended with her here. Thank fucking God. My family is home and doing better than ever. My father's ghost no longer haunts us. We've finally put him to rest, picked up the pieces, and moved on.
"I should stay here." I tip my head down to kiss her. "You might need my help. My bike is big and heavy. What if you want to pose outside in the sunlight? I'll need to move it for you."
"Andreas," she laughs against my lips. "The pictures won't be a surprise if you see where I'm posing for them."
"Little one, you'll be half-naked on my motorcycle," I growl, lifting her into my arms. "I'll be hard as a fucking rock and praising God every damn time I see them, surprise or not. I'm staying here. I need this memory to add to my collection."
"You mean your spank bank," she snorts.
"No, the pictures are for the spank bank," I correct, nibbling on her lips. "The memory of you wanting to give me something so fucking perfect is for the collection, rabbit."
"Andreas." She softens in my arms, going pliant, and I know she's done telling me no. When she says my name that like, she usually is.
Collecting new memories of her may be my favorite thing, but making them with me is hers. In that way, we're perfectly matched. In all the ways that matter, we usually are.
"I love you," she whispers.
"I love you too, little one. I always will."
"I know." She smiles at me, those bright eyes full of happiness. And then she laughs quietly and squirms in my arms. "Now put me down, you big jerk. I have to get ready."
"Nah, I think I'll keep you," I growl playfully, stomping toward our bed.
She squeals in protest, but she doesn't fight very hard to get free. Not even when I pin her beneath me to kiss her breathless. Instead, she clings like she always does.
Like she's never going to let me go.

"That looks like it hurts like a son of a bitch," Bender says, tipping his head to indicate the road rash down the side of my calf.
I turn a dirty scowl on him, not in the mood for my brothers to razz me about this shit. A fucking car bumped me and sent me sliding down the steepest hill in Silver Spoon Falls. Catriona is upset. My bike is fucked. And Hands may be a helluva surgeon when it comes to kids, but he's having a little too much fun cleaning the gravel out of the wound.
"What the fuck happened?" Bender asks, ignoring my glare.
"He got hit by a car," Catriona says from my other side.
"I didn't get hit by a car, rabbit. I got bumped."
