“Well, maybe Sir Swoony Forearms would like to take his wife to get another drink.”
He leads me to a chair and orders me to sit while he heads to the bar, returning a couple minutes later with a sparkling water for me and a glass of champagne for himself. “Are you sure you don’t mind me drinking this in front of you?”
I pat his ass, which looks amazing in his black suit pants. “Of course not. You’re not driving since we’re taking a Guber to the bed and breakfast.”
Reno groans and sinks into the chair beside me. “I still can’t believe I let you talk me into taking my bride to our honeymoon suite in a truck driven by a guy named Goober.”
“It’s all part of the Pine Tree Falls experience,” I tell him airily. I glance over to the bar where Goober is sipping on a bottle of water. He salutes me with a tip of his chauffeur’s hat.When the hell did he start wearing that?
Reno swivels my chair to the side and pulls my feet into his lap before removing my shoes. I wiggle my toes in relief. The heels aren’t extremely high, but it feels good to get them off. My new hubby rubs my feet while we sip and watch our guests.
“Your cousin Keri and her husband are looking pretty cozy over therewith Wendy.”
I shift my eyes to the corner and see the three of them leaning close across a table. “Maybe they’re looking to spice things up a bit. By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask you something.”
“No, I’m not sharing you,” he says firmly.
Laughing, I shake my head. “That’s not it. You know you said we would take an extended honeymoon once the kids are big enough?”
We plan to stay at the local bed and breakfast tonight, and then we’re taking a short honeymoon trip to the hill country in south Texas, since we’re still in hockey season.
“Yeah,” he says, his tone wary.
“I was thinking I’d like to go back to Pineapple Island.”
Reno’s smile is sweet, his eyes soft. “Back to cottage four where we first fell in love?”
I nod. “Exactly.”
“I’ll make it happen once we feel comfortable leaving them. We certainly won’t be lacking for babysitters.” He chuckles. “We’re going to have the luckiest little babies in the world.”
AK Landow approaches and bends to give us each a hug. “I’m going to get out of here, but I just wanted to stop and tell you both congratulations. I have a pickleball tournament tomorrow, so I’m driving to Houston tonight.”
I grasp her hand and squeeze it. “Okay, be safe, and thank you for the gift.”
She winks one pretty blue eye. “Your hubby will be the one thanking me later.”
When she leaves, Reno gives me a questioning look. “What was the gift?”
I bob my eyebrows up and down. “A bridal butt plug. Which she gave me in front of your mother.”
He snorts. “Bet Ma turned all shades of red.”
A giggle escapes me. “She did and then high-tailed it out of the room like her butt was on fire.” I nudge him with my toe. “Also, your mom said fuck earlier. I almost died trying not to laugh.”
My hottie husband leans forward and presses a kiss to my lips, which quickly turns more heated than is appropriate in front of half the town. But after a minute, we’re interrupted by a throat clearing.
We break apart and look up to see AK standing in front of us, her dress dotted with…Are those dicks? Yes, definitely dicks.
She aims two fingers at her eyes and then jabs her index finger at my husband. “It’s on, Reno Swain. Watch your back because it ison.” Then she storms out, dripping tiny metallic penises in her wake.
I turn my head slowly toward my husband, who is grinning without an ounce of concern. “What was that all about? And was that penis confetti all over her?”
His chuckle is equal parts dark and amused. “Yep. When Bubba borrowed her keys, we dumped five trash bags of cock confetti into her car.”
I can’t help but laugh. “Remind me not to ever piss you off.”
He wraps an arm around me and scoops me onto his lap sideways. “I can assure you, if you do, your punishment will be a lot more enjoyable, wife.”
