“Uh-oh.”
He reassured her.
“I mean, my cum is in you, and I guess we should face the reality of it all. We could have just made an us. I’m curious.”
She wasn’t sure where he was going with it, but she hoped it wasn’t over between them.
“About?” she asked, hesitantly.
Finn went there.
Oh, and boy did he ever surprise her.
“How many kids would you want?” he asked. “Since, again, we might have just made one.”

He grinned.
“Oh, I caught me a younger lass,” he said, winking. “I’m halfway to forty.”
She didn’t miss a beat.
“Well, thank God you still can move your hips like that, old man.”
He laughed.
His lass amused him to no end.
When he picked a pretty flower that was blooming, he tucked it into her hair.
