CHAPTER

ELEVEN

Stifling a yawn, I set my book aside. Thayer hasn’t come up to bed yet and it’s getting late. Binx cracks an eye open from the bottom of the bed when I slip out from beneath the covers. Winnie snores peacefully in her cushion on the floor, all four paws sticking up in the air. I’m not sure even an earthquake would wake that dog.

Keeping my steps quiet so I don’t disturb the girls, I go downstairs in search of him.

Light emanates from the kitchen. I find him sitting at the kitchen table, reading glasses perched on his nose. He studies the puzzle in front of him intently.

“Hey,” I say softly, not wanting to startle him. He looks up from the puzzle. “I wanted to make sure you were okay?”

“Yeah.” He sets down the piece he was trying to make fit, his gaze going to the time glowing on the microwave. “I didn’t realize it got so late.”

When we got home from Seda’s school party, time was lost to making dinner, homework, baths, and bedtime. Something people tend to forget to warn you about when you have kids is how rarely you have time for yourself. It’s not always easy to find time to recharge.

“That’s okay.” I tuck my hair behind my ear. “You can keep working. I just wanted to check on you.”

He scoots the chair back but makes no move to get up. “Come here.”

I hesitate only a second before my bare feet eat up the distance between us. I slip onto his lap facing him. His hands go to my ass, pulling me firmly against him. I gasp, rocking my hips into his. Tracing my fingers over the shape of his lips, I then play with the scruff on his cheeks. His eyes fall closed, letting me touch him as I please. Leaning forward, I place my lips softly over his.

“I love you,” I murmur.

Three simple words.

I and love and you. Separate they’re insignificant but put them together and they are everything—he is everything.

When I lean back, he opens his eyes. “I love you, too, Sunshine.” He dives forward, cupping my cheek with the side of his hand, his fingers splaying behind my neck to hold me steady. I guess my featherlight kiss wasn’t enough.

He grows hard beneath me, rocking his hip up into me until I moan. He smiles against my mouth, clearly pleased with how easily he works me up.

“That’s it,” he growls lowly, “let me hear what I do to you.”

“Thayer.” His name is a gasp and plea all in one. Leaning back from his touch, I tear my shirt over my head and drop it to the floor. I’m not wearing a bra since I was ready for bed, his eyes going eagerly to my exposed chest. He cups them gingerly in his hands. Bigger now, droopier too after having two kids, but Thayer’s never made me feel anything less than beautiful.

Rubbing his thumbs over my nipples, they pucker beneath his touch.

“You’re so perfect.
