“What the hell?”
“I will not, under any circumstances, have sex with you on this blanket in the middle of a field.”
Grady rolled onto his back laughing. “Fair enough. Let’s go home.”
“We just got here,” she protested.
He sighed. “Alright.”
“We could go for a swim when we get back,” she suggested with a wink.
“Did you bring a swimsuit?” he asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Nope.”
“My kind of woman.” He kissed her again before helping herup. “Savannah, what about kids?”
“I would love to have a baby with you.”
“Are you sure? I mean, after what you went through, I’ll go along with any decision you make. I want you happy.”
“The odds are low for it to happen to me again. I know it can, but I’m willing to take that risk with you, Grady because I know you’d stand by me.” She smiled. “I’d love to have a little boy who looked like his daddy.” She shrugged and bit her lip. “Whoever that may be.”
“What?”
She laughed. “I’m kidding.”
“Damn good thing,” he growled.
She heaved a sigh. “I’m not going to lie. I’m sure it will go through my mind, after the baby is born, that it could happen again, but I also know I’d have you with me.”
“Yes, you will. I would never do what he did.”
“I have no doubt about that. We’ll be fine.”
“I know we will. I just want you happy. If you decide you don’t want kids, I’m fine with it.”
“I want to have kids, Grady. Maybe a year after we’re married.”
“Anything you want.” Grady kissed her lips.
“Right now, I have all I need.”
Grady grinned, rolled up the blanket, placed it behind the saddle, and after securing it, mounted the horse and pulled her onto his lap.
They shared one more kiss before he directed Onyx to turn around and head back home. Grady never imagined himself falling in love, let alone wanting to spend the rest of his days with someone. But Savannah was the one for him, and nothing would ever come between them again.
He’d make sure she’d want for nothing. He told her the truth when he said he would protect her with his life. The thought oflosing her in any way, scared him, but he wanted her beside him for as long as they had on this earth. She belonged beside him, on this ranch, and he knew that’s where she’d stay.
“This is the first and last time in my life that I will fall in love. I will never leave your side unless you tell me to. That I promise you,” he said, kissed her forehead, then nudged the horse to take them home. When she wrapped her arms tighter around him, he couldn’t keep the smile off his face.
