We enter the clubhouse, and the smell of something delicious hits us. The boys are in line at a makeshift buffet.

Taylor makes her way to me, and I give her a kiss. She wraps her arms around my waist.

“We set up a taco bar. The meat is hot. Want me to make you some?”

“Sounds great, but there’s something I want more?”

“What’s that, baby? A beer?”

“You.” I heft her up in my arms, and her legs wrap around my hips. We’re followed down the hall by my brothers’ hoots and hollers.

I kick the door shut behind us and drop her to my bed.

“Where did you go?” she asks.

“Maybe one day I’ll tell you. Right now, I don’t want to talk.”

She grins and shuts up.

I kiss her, then work my way down her sweet body.

Pushing up her shirt, I kiss her belly, and a thought comes to me. I lift my head and meet her eyes. “I want kids, Taylor. Do you want kids, baby?”

“Sure. Some day.”

“Soon.”

“Well, I’d like to have a husband first.”

I grin. “Okay, babe. I get the message. You want to pick out a ring tomorrow, or you want me to surprise you?”

“Surprise me.”

The wheels in my brain start turning. I’ve got my mother’s wedding ring. We recovered it with her body, and Dad took it off her before burying her. He gave it to me after we buried my wife. Said Mom would want me to have it and said someday I’d find another woman I wanted to give it to. It’s been in my top drawer ever since.

I brush the hair back from her forehead. “Let’s take a ride out to Dewey Beach tomorrow. Will you do that with me?”

“Of course.”

“Nothing is going to keep us apart again, Tay. I’m going to give you a happy life. I love you.”

She grins and quirks a brow. “Then show me already.”

So, I get busy showing this woman how much I love her.

Chapter thirty-five

Taylor

The sun is slanting through the blinds when I kiss Player awake. “Let’s go for that ride, baby.”

He stretches. “Damn, woman. You gonna be this demanding all the time?”

“You promised me a ride to the beach. I want to go while it's still early morning.”

He wraps his arms around me and kisses me. “Then my baby gets what she wants.”

We shower together, and I take my sweet time, soaping up his gorgeous chest. It turns into sex and soon he’s got me pressed to the wall, his dick sliding in and out of me, until I feel an orgasm barreling toward me. I clutch him, thinking I’m going to fall, but he holds me tight.
