“Yes, I do.”
“Whatever shall we do now that we have the whole evening to ourselves?”
“I have a few ideas. I fist-pumped the air when I realized the twins were getting tired. I foresaw this exact scenario happening.”
“You’re awfully sure of yourself, huh?”
I grinned. “Always, Allison. You know that.”
“It’s true. I do know.”
“I love our life.” I didn’t know where that came from, but it was exactly how I felt.
“Me too. I know it’s crazy, but it’s amazing.”
“What we have means a lot to me, Allison.”
“To me too. It’s more than I expected,” she murmured.
As usual, we were in sync. “Yes, so much more.”
I wasn’t good with putting it into words, not when I had no rhyme or reason for it, no explanation for how it came to be. But I could definitely show her. I made sure to close the door to the bedroom, turning the key as well.
“Oh, I heard the lock. You want to start with the sexy plans already?”
“Fuck yes. But—”
“I know,” she whispered. “I have to keep quiet.”
In the past, I’d always imagined that being married with kids was a nightmare for the sex life, but it wasn’t. Quite the opposite. It was thrilling to always find that moment where it could be just the two of us. I loved the challenge of keeping Allison quiet while I overwhelmed her with pleasure. I loved every single facet of being married to this woman.
She immediately tugged at my shirt, taking it off. I walked with her until we reached the windowsill. I kissed her hard, smiling against her mouth when I felt her hand slide down my abs.
“What’s this?” she asked, pulling back.
“What?”
“Your smile. You’re laughing at me.”
“I like your obsession with my abs.”
“I love them. They’re just perfection. I dream about touching them every time I’m with you. And when I’m not with you, I can’t wait until I am.”
“Touch me all you want.”
I tugged at her earlobe with my teeth, then kissed slowly down the side of her neck.
“Nick, how can you turn me on so fast?”
She pushed her leg up my thigh.Hell yes.That was her telltale sign that she was ready for me.
“You drive me crazy, Allison. I didn’t know anything like this was possible. That anything could feel so good.” I straightened up, looking her in the eyes. “And I’m not just talking about sex.”
“No?”
“No, although that’s fucking amazing too.”
“I quite agree.”
