“Yep, it was yummy,” Enoch says, standing up and pushing Xander out of the way so he can run and slide down the hall first.
“Hey, that’s cheating, dweeb,” Xander growls out, running after him.
I shake my head at their retreating backs and stand up. “Keep looking for whatever you think we need, and I’ll tidy the dinner things.”
“I can help, or we can call the boys back,” Sly says, standing up.
I walk to his side and rest my hand on his cheek. “Nope, you cooked, I’ll tidy up. The boys can have tonight free, and then they can start helping with chores tomorrow.”
“Okay,” he says, pulling me closer and kissing me.
I sigh into the kiss and wrap my arms around him.
Sly pulls back, but not far. “On second thought, clean up can wait until tomorrow, as can the rest of the Internet shopping.”
“Agreed. Let’s say goodnight to the boys and then take this to bed. Our bed, in our own room.”
“And just think, we don't need to be quiet, as the boys are on the other side of the house,” Sly reminds me.
“Perfect,” I say, grabbing his hand and dragging him out of the kitchen and up the stairs. We find the boys in the secret room, sat on the floor playing Mario Kart. “We’re off to bed. We’ll see you tomorrow.”
Xander looks at us. “I don’t even want to know. See you both in the morning.”
“Have fun,” Enoch says with a shake of his head.
“We will indeed have fun, lots of fun,” Sly tells them, smiling.
“Gah, go away,” Xander tells us.
Sly and I laugh, and we both leave the room, walking quickly to ours.
Sly pulls me into the room and slams the bedroom door before pushing me up against it and kissing me. I wrap my arms around him and happily kiss him back. He slowly pulls away and starts undoing the buttons on my shirt. “I get to undress you first.”
I laugh at the look on his face, and with a quick ask of my magic, we are both now naked. “You snooze, you lose.”
“But I was undressing you,” he gripes out.
“But you were taking too long, my darling and look, our bed is right there and calling our names. If you take me to bed right now and make love to me, when it’s my turn, I’ll do that licking thing you love so much.”
Sly perks up. “Really?” he takes my hand and pulls me quickly to the bed, spinning me round and pushing me down on the bed.
I shift around and get comfy as Sly follows me, lying over me. “Happy sex in our new home, babe.”
I burst out laughing and lean up and kiss him. After that, there is no more talking.
CHAPTER 41
Iwake up the next morning and sigh. I don’t care what the time is; we don’t need to hurry out of bed and get down to breakfast. I don’t need to go and make sure the boys are up, and for the moment, I can’t get Sly his first coffee of the morning as we don’t have a coffee machine up here, and I don’t fancy walking down to the kitchen and making him one just yet. Plus, Sly is totally snuggled up against me, my arms are around him, holding him tight.
I smile to myself as I think about our first morning together. I woke up first, and just like now, Sly was a snuggle bunny. We didn’t get much sleep that evening, just like last night, and it was just perfect. Sly was perfect. I secretly hoped it was the start of something special, and I had been right; it really was.
I chance a look at the time and see it is just coming up to eight. This is the longest we’ve slept in for I don’t know how long. But now Sly has been asleep long enough. I move and gently push Sly onto his back, flinging the covers off and scooting down the bed. Now to wake my husband up.
I’min the kitchen making breakfast and tidying up from last night. Sly loved his wake-up call, so much so that we made love again, and then again in the shower. I left Sly dressing as I came downstairs. The boys aren’t up yet, which isn’t surprising. If they get up before lunchtime, I’ll be impressed.
I put our dinner things into the dishwasher and then realise that we don’t have any washing-up tablets. I shut the door on everything and add them to my list of things to purchase later.
I look at all the boxes that are still stacked up. All my chocolate-making equipment. I’m so glad they were one of the first things we packed up into the car. I’ll get my brothers to help me take everything down to my new workshop later. I need to give the place a deep clean and then wash my equipment. I can feel my hands twitching at the thought of creating my chocolate delights again. I’ll need to sort out my website, but that can wait until I am properly up and running.
