“Not the swim,” she said, shaking her head. “You. In fact, maybe we should go home and make love all night.”
“Oh, I was planning on it. This is just the appetizer.”
She laughed again. “If that’s the appetizer, I can’t wait for the meal.”
“And wait until you see what I have in store for dessert,” I said. “Whipped cream may be involved.”
Ooh. I liked the way my girl thought.
As I had that first night, I climbed in the vehicle and started it up, blasting the heat even though it was eighty degrees outside. We both felt chilled to the core, despite our lovemaking, and I couldn’t wait to get home and fully dry off so we could enjoy the night together.
But before I put the car in gear, I looked over at Macy. “Have I told you today that I love you?”
She looked over at me. “Yes, but you can say it again and again.”
“I love you,” I said.
“I love you too.” She leaned over and gave me a long kiss. Then she pulled back and looked out the front windshield and said, “Get me home so I can get you naked again.”
I smiled at that. Then I put the truck in gear and headed back to the gravel road.
There was no denying the giant smile on my face. I was definitely the happiest man alive.
