“Mmhm. I love it when you decorate my skin,” she rasps in between panting breaths.
See. Perfect for me.
I lean over her, wrap my arms around her middle and kiss my way across the curve of her shoulder until I reach the nape of her neck. “I think you should skip your shower this morning. That way you can smell like me all day.”
I roll carefully to my side, taking Sarah with me. She snuggles her body back into mine until we’re spooning. “You know, if it were the weekend, and it was just you and me, I’d totally do that.” I nuzzle into her neck with a smile because I know she would. She’s done it for me before. “I have a birthday present for you.” She smiles, turning her head and pressing her lips to mine.
Cupping her face, I deepen the kiss and tangle my tongue with hers. I’ll never tire of kissing the woman. Softening the kiss and pressing smaller kisses to her lips, I pull back slightly. “You just gave me the best birthday present ever.”
Her grin is big and beautiful. She tries to wriggle out of my hold, but I tighten my grip, making her laugh and her tits jiggle. Oh yeah! “You might have to let me go so I can get it for you.”
“Don’t wanna.” I pout like a toddler.
She slides her fingers through my hair and presses a hard kiss to my lips. “I promise you’ll love it.”
I loosen my hold. “Okay then.”
She climbs out of bed and heads to the bathroom to do her normal morning stuff, and I take pride in the fact that she’s wearing my handprint on her ass. When she comes out, she heads to her nightstand and pulls out an envelope then climbs back on the bed. Her eyes remain focused on the white paper as she runs her fingers around the edges repeatedly.
“I had no idea what to get you for your birthday, so I hope this is okay.” Her eyes lift to mine and she hands it to me with a swipe of her lips across mine. “Happy birthday, Husband” she whispers, her breath touching the place she just kissed.
That’s right,husband. I whisked us off toCardinal Quarry Casino and Resortalong with our friends and family for a New Year’s Day dawn wedding.I take the envelope from her and peel it open. Inside is a slip of paper. As I tuck my fingers inside to pull out the paper, she lays her hand on mine, stilling me. “This is totally for you. Don’t show me or tell me what it says.”
My eyes narrow, drawing my eyebrows down. Now I’m intrigued. I nod my agreement and she removes her hand. I pull out the slip of paper and open it, careful to angle it in such a way that Sarah can’t see it. The word ‘boy’ is written across it in an unfamiliar scrawl. I snap my eyes back to Sarah. “What’s this?”
“I know you wanted to know what we’re having and you’ve been going along with my need for a surprise, so I thought I’d ask our obstetrician to write it down for you. I have no idea what it says and I still don’t want to know so don’t spoil the surprise for me.”
My heart swells with the trust she’s giving me. I tuck the slip of paper back inside and roll over to my nightstand to put it out of sight, then I pull my girl into me. Wrapping my arms around her, I drag her in tight to me and take her lips in a fierce kiss full of gratitude. Sarah’s always thinking about everyone else’s needs above her own. It’s one of the reasons I fell in love with her so easily. Softening my mouth and slowing our kiss, I press my forehead to hers. Our eyes lock and hold, Sarah’s eyes twinkling with delight. “Thank you, Wife.” I’ll never tire of calling her that. I press a kiss to the tip of her nose and raise a brow. “Sure you don’t want me to tell you?”
She uses the hand resting on my pec to push at me playfully. “No. And you’re not allowed to tease me either. That’s not fair.”
“But I love teasing you, and you love it when I do.”
She wraps her arm around my neck with a chuckle, her stomach trapped between us. “I just loveyou.”
