“About what?”
“About everything. It’s easier to bury my head in the sand.”
“I can attest to that.” Luke kisses my head. “I’m sorry as well. I should have been there from the start.”
“That was my fault. You didn’t know where I had gone.” I look up at him. “I did run away from you, after all.”
“Are you going to run away from me now?”
I know the answer to that already, and I shake my head.
“No. I don’t want to do that. Not with you.”
“That’s good.” Luke smiles and kisses my forehead. “Because I want to be there for you. You and Amy. I love you.”
Those three words make me feel warm and happy. I rise up onto my tiptoes and kiss him.
“I love you, too.”
Luke’s whole body slumps and he hugs me as he kisses me again. Both of us are smiling when we stop.
“Now that is one way to end a day like this.”
“I can’t argue with that.” I wrap my arms around his waist. “So, what do you want from me, Luke? Is there anything in particular you want, or shall we leave that for another time?”
“We can discuss it later.” Luke hugs me. “But I can tell you now I want whatever you want. I hope that’s not too much to ask.”
I like the sound of that.
Chapter 30 Luke
Three Years Later
“We shouldn’t be doing this!” Elle hisses at me as I lead her into our villa.
I grin at her, tugging on her hand.
“You don’t want me, then?”
“Of course, but we do have children to keep an eye on!”
“Ben and Carly have got Lewis, and Amy is entertaining Liz and Mom. Plus Marcus and Dad are present. We’ve got plenty of people to watch them. Besides,” I take her into the bedroom and spin her around, falling onto the bed with her as Elle squeals, “I haven’t had an opportunity to be alone with you for a while.”
Elle groans as I start kissing her neck.
“God, Luke, you’re impossible.”
“What? I miss you.”
“Even though we live together?”
“We’ve got children, and there always seems to be something.” I slide my hand under her skirt and drift my fingers up her thigh. “We’re on vacation now…”
“For Grandma’s birthday!”
“It’s still a vacation, and your grandmother told us not to wait on her all the time.”
In fact, Liz is the one who told me to take Elle away from the rest of the party. There had been a twinkle in her eye when she said it; she is under no illusions in what we’re going to get up to.
