Charlie lifted an eyebrow at me. “If you want more you’re going to have to earn it.” She looked down at where my fingers were resting on her clit.

I moved one finger inside of her then quickly added a second which prompted Charlie to do the same thing. I was about to add a third when Charlie’s soaking wet fingers touched my lips. “Taste yourself,” she commanded.

I moaned once again when the taste of my own pleasure hit my tongue. I licked her fingers clean, but that only made my hunger worse. I brought my own fingers to my mouth and tasted Charlie now. The mix of tastes from the two of us made my stomach growl. I was like an addict. I wanted more.

“Why are you the only one who gets a taste?” Charlie pushed out her bottom lip and I took it between my teeth, then kissed her hard so she could taste what I was.

Charlie moved her fingers back inside of me as we continued to kiss, so I did the same. This time, when she took them out, she brought them to her mouth. After licking themclean, she gave me a sly smile. “The kiss was great, but it doesn’t compare to tasting it directly.”

“In that case…” I moved two fingers in and out of Charlie, then brought those fingers to her mouth so she could taste herself.

After removing my fingers from her mouth, Charlie brought her own fingers to her mouth and tasted me. Then Charlie leaned in and kissed me once again. I groaned from the taste of our mixed pleasures passing from her tongue to mine.

We continued this pattern of fingering and tasting each other until we were both gasping for breath. I knew I wasn’t going to make it much longer, so I wanted to make sure Charlie came just as hard as I was about to. I fucked her hard with three fingers, moving them farther inside of her with each push. After a particularly deep thrust, I curled my fingers and brought my thumb over her hard clit at the same time.

Charlie must have liked this idea, because she did the same thing, and soon I was seeing stars. My body went rigid at the same time Charlie crashed down into me. For a few minutes, the only noise in the room was the sound of our heavy breathing.

When I opened my eyes, Charlie’s beautiful blue eyes were already looking back at me. I pushed a piece of hair behind her ear as I stared up at her. Even after all this time, it still didn’t feel real that this woman was mine. Mine. My heart fluttered at the thought. I was the luckiest woman in the whole world.

“You’re so gorgeous,” I said softly.

A small smile parted Charlie’s lips, and I could feel that smile as she kissed mine. A warmth spread throughout my body as we continued to kiss slowly.

When Charlie pulled back from the kiss, she looked down at me with so much love that it was as if I was the person who put the sparkle in her eyes. “I love you.”

My toes curled at the sound of those words rolling from her lips. How does she still do this to me?

“Marry me.” The words were out of my mouth before I even had the chance to think about what I was saying.

Charlie giggled and kissed me once again. “I think we already did that about twenty-seven years ago. Did you forget?”

I shook my head and put my hands on her hips. The idea might have come out of nowhere, but now that it was out there, I couldn’t shake it from my mind. “I want to marry you again. We should renew our vows.”

Charlie laughed once again. “Do I need to remind you that we just spent the last year and a half helping to plan our son’s wedding? You really want to jump right into our own wedding?”

I shrugged. “It doesn’t have to be anything big. We can mostly have family and maybe a few close friends if they feel like coming.” I felt my face light up when another idea popped into my head. “Let’s do it for our thirtieth anniversary. That way we still have three years, and it’s also not completely random.”

Charlie nodded. “That’ll work as long as we don’t have another wedding to plan at that time.”

“It’s fine. If Carter or Olivia are engaged, we can make it a double wedding.” I laughed at the thought of that.

Charlie laughed along with me. “Can you imagine the adult tantrum Olivia would throw if we told her we were going to share her wedding day with her?”

“I don’t want to imagine it.” I shuddered. “I would seriously fear for my life. That girl is fierce.”

Charlie poked me in the chest. “She’syourdaughter. It’s no question who she gets that attitude from.”

I grabbed her finger and lightly bit it. “I’m not so sure about that. I think she got it from her namesake. We should’ve known she’d be a handful as soon as we gave her that name.”

Charlie laughed again, but it quickly died off. “I still really miss Nana. Even after all these years, I think about her all the time. It’ll be weird to get remarried without her there.”

I took the hand I was still holding and intertwined my fingers with hers. “She’ll be there. I don’t think we have to worry about that.” I chuckled to try to clear the heaviness of the moment. “I also really don’t think we have to worry about there being another wedding in three years. Olivia doesn’t seem interested in settling down any time soon, and unfortunately, I’m worried Carter might not ever date again.”

“I don’t know. Olivia was hitting on the bartender tonight. Maybe wedding bells are in their future.” Charlie squeezed my hand. “When the time is right Carter will find someone.” She lifted an eyebrow and smirked. “Jax is still single.”

I let out a boisterous laugh, because even though Charlie and I had never discussed it before this, I was also holding out hope for that pairing ever since things ended between Carter and Marcie. “Okay! So I’m not the only one who is Team Jax. Good to know.”

Charlie laughed and gave me another kiss. “The answer is yes by the way. There’s nothing I want more than to marry you over and over again.”
