“That’s good, baby, ’cos when I put a baby in your belly, I want it to be something we talked about first.”

“It won’t be that easy. I’m an old woman as far as having babies is concerned.”

“Fuck that, you’re damn perfect.”

She had no chance to respond to all the beauty in that sentence before he pushed inside her. The pinch of pleasure and pain made her move to get closer to him before he stroked into her again, his pelvis brushing her clit each time.

His lips found hers, and he kissed her as if it were the only thing in the world he ever wanted to do. The slow, languorous way he made love to her had tears forming in her eyes as her climax built slowly until it crashed over her in a wave of pleasure as she felt him swell and find his own release with a shudder of breath.

Ty leaned up and kissed her gently before pulling from her body and moving to the en-suite to get a warm, damp cloth and cleaning her body of his seed. Again, she felt on the cusp of tears at the way this hard man was so gentle with her. She’d fallen in love with the boy, but she stayed in love with the man.

Gathering her close, he held her. “Liz?”

“Yes, honey?”

“I don’t believe that, about loving two people.”

“Oh?”

“No, because there’s no way on earth I could feel the love I have for you for anyone else. You’re my entire world and nothing and nobody could even come close to you for me.”

Her tears ran down her face then as the words she’d waited for so many years hit her ears. “I agree. I love you the same way. Like we were made for one another.”

“Do you want more children, Liz?”

“Yes, if it’s possible, but I don’t know if it is.”

“Maybe when this is over, we can talk about that.”

“I’d love that.”

“Liz?”

“Yes, Ty?

“Go to sleep, babe.”

She grinned at him. “Okay, Ty.”
