Chapter 21

Carley looked happy to see him when he arrived home, meeting him at the door and helping him with his coat. He locked his gun away and turned into her.

“You’re late,” she said. “What happened?”

“Mae Belle broke up with Roy again. Just this morning. I promised I’d make sure he was out of the apartment before coming home.”

“Was he?”

“Lock, stock, and barrel. I told her to change the locks anyways. Hopefully, she’ll listen.”

“Poor girl. I didn’t even know they were back together.”

“Me either, until recently. This one was short-lived though. I’m relieved to know. He wasn’t good for her.”

“She needs someone who will treat her better, that’s for sure,” Carley said. “Did you have a busy day other than that?”

He gave her a hug. “Glad it’s over, that’s for sure. Where is everyone?”

“Well, Rainy is out with friends over at the high school sledding, and Beth-Anne is working the dinner shift at the diner. Are the roads still clear?”

“It’s snowing again, but they’re good so far. Send her a text or something that I’ll come and get her if she’s worried.”

“We’re not supposed to get much this time, but tomorrow is another story.”

“Another snow dump?”

“Another couple inches by tomorrow evening.”

He held her shoulders and moved them back and forth very slightly. “We have the house to ourselves?”

She smiled and raised her eyebrows. “How long can you wait before having dinner?”

He kissed her and turned her around to walk toward the bedroom. “I can skip dinner altogether.”

“I’ll get ready while you shower.”

He liked the sound of that.

From inside the shower, he heard Carley rustling around in the bedroom, opening and closing drawers. The shower felt great, warmed him up from a long day of getting in and out of the cold, and relaxed his muscles. He toweled off and wrapped the towel around his waist. When he walked into the bedroom, Carley had her back to him while standing near the dresser. She wore a skimpy nightie that he’d seen her wear before. It was sheer, baby blue in color, and loose fitting. He noticed her smooth back and the dimples at the top of her butt. He knew she was doing this especially for him. He also knew that she felt as though she’d gained too much weight over the years and was shy about it. But she’d put the nightie on anyway. She must know that she looked more beautiful to him now than when he’d married her. He’d told her often enough even if she chose not to believe it. Right now, he realized that she did believe him and was acting on that believe. She was such a brave woman.

“You look fantastic.”

She turned around slowly, her small breasts showing through the sheer fabric. “Let’s lose the towel, shall we?” she said as she walked toward him, her hands out.

They kissed passionately, and he felt her skin against his as she pushed into him. Where there wasn’t skin the thin layer of baby blue nightie slid over her body like silk in his hands.
