Rhett is mine. He will always be mine. And I’m his.
Turning, he leans me against the tile, and I nip his bottom lip. “Please fuck me, husband.”
“I’m yours to command, wife.” He holds me by my ass and lines himself up to my opening. Our eyes meet as he slowly slides into me. I see love shining back at me. Love and so much affection.
My breath catches as he works his way into me.
The stretch, the feel of him, is drugging. He’s almost too much. Almost too big. But he doesn’t rush. He takes his time until he bottoms out, and we both moan.
This connection is magical. It’s not just the sex. It’s not just how our bodies fit together or the places he touches me. It’s not the physical that makes our bond so incredible.
It’s the soul-deep connection I’ve never had with anyone else.
He squeezes me tight. “You’re everything to me, Paige. I love you.”
“I love you too.”
He kisses me long and slow as he moves in and out of my body. We come together beneath the steamy water with quiet moans until we shatter.
Shaking in his arms, I press my face into his shoulder, and he kisses my temple. “You know, if I hadn’t already put a baby in you, I’d be wanting to now.”
Leaning back, I grin. “I love a goal-oriented man. Looks like you hit your target without even trying.”
He winks. “I love hitting your target.”
Drowsy,I yawn and reach for Rhett, but his side of the bed is empty. A minute later, the bedroom door opens, and he pokes his head in.
“Hey, baby. You get a good nap?”
“Yes.” I sit up. “When did you get up?”
“About two hours ago. Talked to the sheriff. He said to call him because he has a few questions.” He sits on the edge of the bed. “They arrested Harlan and his son, and they issued an arrest warrant for Dods.”
“Oh, my God. That’s great news.”
He wraps his arm around my shoulders. “Because of what you recorded on your phone, I have another shot at saving this ranch. I had Jace inspect the fence again, and he found where Jimmy must’ve mended it after sneaking sick steer back onto our property last week.”
“It’s crazy how far they went to screw with us.” I nuzzle against him. “I’m so happy everything is working out.”
Rhett kisses the top of my head. “Brought you some coffee. Sorry it’s decaf. You can’t have full-caf, right?”
“Damn. That’s right,” I say as he hands me the mug. “This smells good though.”
“We need to make an OBGYN appointment, don’t we?”
I nod. “Would you… would you like to go with me? I mean, you don’t have to come. I know you’re busy.”
“I’m never too busy for you. I know I’ve had the wrong priorities, but I aim to change that.” He kisses me again. “I swear, I’ll never miss a chance to see our baby on an ultrasound.”
Our baby.I’m having Rhett’s baby. I’m ridiculously happy about that.
“Do the boys know yet?”
He shakes his head. “They might’ve been the ones to uncover the pregnancy test, but they were too busy playing to take notice.”
“Will they be okay when they hear the news? I know this might be hard for them.”
“They’ll be fine. Now that they’re not going back and forth to their mother’s place, they seem a lot more settled. But we can hold off on telling them for a bit.”
