Chapter Seven

As they entered the lobby of the hotel they’d be staying in that night, the sheer noise and chaos bristled against Wren’s nerves.

She took a peek at Gregori, who already wore an annoyed expression. They’d been on the road after a day of whitewater rafting and both were bone tired. She might have even been too tired for sex, but she doubted it after a quick glance at her husband and that delicious sneer got her a little tingly.

The road coming into the city had been backed up in a jumble of RVs, motorcycles, tour busses of all sizes and types and regular cars like the one they’d rented. Summer travel season slowed things down so it had taken a lot longer to get from the rafting place to the hotel than they’d planned.

And yet it had been an awesome day overall, even with a sunburn on her back and the shoulder she’d missed when putting sunscreen on. She’d smiled and laughed so much her cheeks hurt. Her calves were pleasantly sore from holding her place in the raft. Gregori was far more athletic than she gave him credit for as he threw himself into the day at her side. He’d known it would make her happy and he did it. And, given the way he’d laughed along with her, he’d had as much fun as she.

Wren looked up at him and smiled, wrapping her arms around his waist to hug him for long moments while they waited.

“You should take a pain reliever,” he murmured before pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “Take a shower and I’ll put more aloe on it so you won’t hurt.”

“Good idea. When we get in the room I’ll do that and drink a lot of water too. I don’t think it’s going to be that bad tomorrow. It’s just two spots. Thank goodness the life jacket covered up most of it or it might have ended with blisters.”

He muttered a little, clearly unhappy that she was in any sort of discomfort. Annoyed that he couldn’t just make it go away immediately. That made her feel better than any pain reliever could have.

“It’s my own fault,” she said. “Should have been more careful. I burn easy.” She shrugged. “I had fun today.”

“Never forget I wore a helmet for you. Let’s speak of it no more.”

Chuckling, she admitted, “You did have a look on your face at first. Like when I used to dress up the cat when I was a kid.”

He just looked at her without speaking for long moments. “Of course you dressed your cat.”

“Only when he felt like tolerating it. The dogs loved it though. Dogs are really pure.”

“Kotyonok.” He shook his head slowly, trying not to smile.

That made her giggle. “What? The dogs were just happy to be with me and if wearing a dress was the price, they did not mind paying. It’s actually a pretty good way to view life.”

He hummed. A noncommittal sound that echoed through his chest.
