He only had a year and a half left of school, and there were already multiple colleges looking into him.

It didn’t hurt that Kent had Gunner Penn guiding his way.

Kent had fan-girled over Gunner once he finally made the connection.

And now Gunner was at our place nearly every night that Kent was home playing with him.

Both of them had the time of their lives.

Hell, even Anders had requested to go do a study abroad.

Something I hadn’t even realized was a thing until her new school had brought it up to us as a possibility for alternate study.

I was still on the fence about that one, but Anders and Posy were slowly whittling me down.

I had a feeling that I’d give her what she wanted.

Though, I’d already told Posy that he better be ready to go visit Germany whenever I felt like it.

There was no way in hell that I wasn’t finding out where she’d be going first and making sure that it was safe.

“Baby,” Posy said as he picked me up and pulled me to him. “You’re being extra. What’s the big deal here?”

I grimaced. “It’s supposed to be paler.”

“Why?”

I grinned then. “Because it has to be neutral. And it can’t blind our baby when I finally get around to getting pregnant.”

“You already said that we wouldn’t be having any babies any time soon. By that point, we can just repaint.”

I shrugged. “I don’t want to repaint it.”

He picked me up, then walked me out the door.

When my back hit the bed in our bedroom, I stopped arguing.

When he was finished, I decided to stay with the over-the-top yellow.

He was right.

When the time came, and it was time to extend our family, I could repaint.

I could do anything as long as Posy was at my side, guiding my way.

“Love you, Posy,” I said into his chest hair.

He sifted his hands up into the back of my hair, hit a snag, and pulled it free, causing my scalp to smart. “Ow.”

“I love you, too, you crazy little psycho princess.”

I pinched his nipple, causing him to laugh and pull away.

I lay face down in the bed long enough that my eyes started to get sleepy.

I was jolted right awake when he said, “Come on. Time for a different kind of riding lesson.”

An hour later, we were at the top of the hill overlooking where our future home sat.

The barn was a few hundred feet from the back door, and the stall that held ol’ Sweet Baby Ray was just beyond that.

Ray bawled, and I rode right up to him, handing him a little molasses to make sure he kept loving me and only me.

“I can’t believe you talked me into saving that damn bull.”

I batted my eyes at him over my shoulder. “You know you’d do absolutely anything for me.”

His eyes took in my ass before they returned to my face as he spoke with fervor, “I’d kill, fight, steal and lie for a single night with you. A lifetime? I’d give up my entire soul.”
