“I know. I was already thinking where I want to build it. We could build a barn and have the shop somehow attached to it. We could maybe even put an office down there as well.”

“That would be perfect.”

The rest of the evening, we discussed the house and made plans to talk to Jeff and Gunner about the design.

By the time we got back to our room at the inn, we were both mentally exhausted. After we walked into the room, Heather collapsed down onto the bed.

“I feel like my brain has worked overtime tonight,” she said.

I let out a laugh and lay down next to her. “I hear ya. I don’t want to talk about houses, barns, and shops anymore.”

Heather rolled over and began running her finger in circles on my chest. “You still owe me three orgasms.”

I turned my head and looked into her eyes. “What kind of husband would I be if I didn’t deliver those to you?”

She ran her tongue along her lower lip and shrugged her shoulder. I sat up and pushed Heather onto her back. I moved my eyes up and down her beautiful body. I reached over and began lifting her skirt, and my stomach dropped as I thought about burying myself deep inside her. When my fingers brushed against her bare lips, I raised my eyebrow up at her.

“Jesus, have you not had panties on all night?”

She giggled. “No.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” I quickly moved between her legs and pushed them open. “Hmm…shit…that looks good.” I let out a moan. I began kissing her inner thigh, and then I moved my lips closer to heaven.

I blew on her clit, and she bucked her hips.

“Josh, don’t tease.”

I let out a chuckle as she grabbed my head and pushed me closer to her. The moment my tongue touched her, she let out a moan. It didn’t take her long to start moving her hips as she called out my name.

When I finally didn’t feel her pulsing anymore, I pulled away and quickly began getting undressed. Heather sat up and pulled off her skirt. Then, she began unbuttoning her shirt, and she tossed it onto the floor. I reached behind her, and in one movement, I had her bra unclasped. I took it off and threw it next to her shirt on the floor.

My eyes traveled up and down her body as I licked my lips in anticipation.

“Jesus, Heather, you’re so damn beautiful. I can never get enough of you.”

She wrapped her legs around me, and I slowly sank into her warmth and began slowly making love to her.

“You feel like heaven.” I closed my eyes and took in the moment.

Heather always brought all my emotions to the surface when we made love like this. There was nothing I loved more than being with her. We were one…for always.

My lips moved across her neck as she made the sweetest noises. My body craved her touch. I wrapped my arms around her and brought her closer to me. I needed more of her.

“Josh…” she whispered.

I softly kissed along her jawline. When my lips landed on hers, she sucked in a breath of air. I wasn’t sure how long we had been kissing, but when I pulled away, I pushed harder inside her. I must have hit the perfect spot because Heather let out a gasp, and I could feel her squeezing down on my dick.

I leaned my forehead against hers. “Princess, I’m going to come.”

“Josh…I love you.”

The love and tenderness in her voice caused my heart to skip a few beats. The moment was so beautiful, and I didn’t want it to end.

“I love you,” she said again, her voice cracking this time.

I wiped away a tear moving slowly down her cheek. I stayed inside her as our bodies began coming down from our orgasms.

“I love you forever…plus infinity, Heather.”

I couldn’t help but let out a giggle as I read Elizabeth’s text message.

Elizabeth: I don’t know how you keep up with these two!

Me: I don’t know either, believe me!

Elizabeth: Did you know that Will can open the bedroom door?

Me: Yep. He figured that one out a few weeks ago.

Elizabeth: Don’t worry, honey. We are about to head to the park. Everything is going great!

Me: Thank you so much for doing this!

Elizabeth: We love these little sweethearts.

Josh came walking out of the room, laughing, and he sat down next to me on the private balcony.

I glanced up and smiled. “What’s so funny?”

“Dad said Will had a bowl of oatmeal and tossed it across the kitchen. Mom tried to run and catch it, and he said it was probably the funniest thing he had ever seen. He said she actually dived for the bowl.”

“Oh my gosh. Did she get hurt? I was just texting with her. She didn’t mention it.”

Josh began laughing harder. “Dad said she did a complete split, but I’ll be damned if she didn’t catch the bowl!”

I threw my hands up to mouth and began laughing. “Oh. My. God.”

“I know. Hell, I would have paid top dollar to see that show.”

“Joshua Michael Hayes, that is not nice!”

Josh kept laughing as I giggled and pictured my poor mother-in-law doing a split across our kitchen floor. He finally got his laughing under control, and then he mumbled something about paybacks.

“I’m totally loving just the quiet,” I said.

He reached for my hand and gently kissed the back of it. “I’m glad, baby. You deserved some quiet time.”

We sat there in silence, and I closed my eyes and took in all the sounds.

“Heather, have you thought any more about that teaching position?”

My heart dropped, and I opened my eyes. Mason Elementary had offered me a teaching position, and I had turned it down. When the principal had told me I could have a few days to think it over and change my mind, that was all I had been doing, except for the last two days. It hadn’t even entered my thoughts until now.

“Not really. As much as I would love to go back to work, I just don’t think I can, Josh. I can’t leave Will and Libby.”

I glanced over at him, and he was smiling.

He almost seemed relieved. “That’s your final decision?”

I nodded my head and said, “I love being home with the kids and you. I can help with the business and take advantage of nap time.” I wiggled my eyebrows up and down.

Josh laughed. He stood up and reached for my hand. I gave it to him, and he pulled me out of my seat.

He brought me into his arms. “You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say all of that. I will always support you in whatever you want to do. Having you and the kids home though is what I really want.”
