“Too tired,” he complains.

“We have to meet my mom and sister in a couple hours,” I remind him.

He lets out a tired sigh.

“Okay, you better have gotten me coffee,” he mumbles.

I get off him so he can turn around and sit up against the headboard. I climb back on top of him and straddle him.

He runs a hand along my hip and silently drinks his coffee.

I know that it always takes a while for him to wake up, so I drink my coffee and enjoy the silence.

Moments like these can sometimes be absolutely fucking perfect.

We don’t always need to talk; just being with him is enough for me to feel at peace.

When we are both finished our coffee, I kiss him for a few minutes before my stomach reminds me how hungry I am.

I get off him and watch his ass as he bends over to put his pants on. His tattoos, and lines tracing his back muscles, have me drooling.

It’s still crazy that he’s unbelievably mine.

It has been three years since I had stepped down from being the club president. There hasn’t been a day that I regretted my decision.

I proudly watch my son as he takes on his new role. Having Tyson as the next president was the right decision. He was born to be a leader, just like my father and I were.

I have had more time to spend with Lily and my grandkids, which I fucking love. Those little ones bring me so much fucking joy. I spend as much time with them as I can.

Anytime I get sick, my family bugs me into going to get checked out. Even if it’s just something small, Doc, Krista, Katy, and Olivia take turns looking me over.

To most people, it would be annoying; but it’s not to me. I know I scared everyone with neglecting my health before. That’s not something I’m willing to do again.

If it makes everyone feel better to look me over, then I won’t stop them. I want to be healthy enough to be around for my kids and grandkids for many, many years.

I know it’s hard for Lily every time I get sick, and I will do whatever I can to help assuage her fears.

Lily and Sasha are getting breakfast ready. Slowly, more and more members come downstairs.

There were a few more drinking all night than I had realised.

I look over at my beautiful woman and smile. It has been over forty years that this amazing woman has been part of my life.

Even to this day, she still takes my breath away.

Time has been good to her as she is still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.

No one could compare to her.

She sets a plate in front of me like she always does, and I pull her onto my lap.

“You need to eat too, baby,” I whisper in her ear.

We both eat off the plate she made for me as everyone talks around us.

We have been through a lot as a couple and as a club, but we finally made it to a place where we can relax and enjoy it.
