make room for the erection that seemed to grow by the minute. “You will never have to beg me to do that, Eve.”
She smiled, but went on. “So I’m used to feeling completely turned on by you pretty much every day, all the time. But when you and Mac swept Dani up and out of the sanctuary, I melted. You were so in charge and so confident. I would have happily laid back on one of those church pews and let you have your way with me right then and there.”
Yeah, he was going to have to get her at least a little naked. It was a chapel, but God would most certainly understand.
“Eve,” he whispered, leaning in to take her lips.
But again, she moved back. “Then I walked into that room and saw you holding that tiny baby and…” she trailed off and took a deep breath, “…I wanted you more than I’ve ever wanted you right then.”
Kevin looked at her in surprise. “Yeah?” Huh. And here he and the guys had been thinking that lickable body powder and sex toys were the way to go.
She gave a fervent “Oh, yeah.” Then grinned. “I guess there’s something primal about the big alpha male taking over and making things happen and then being so gentle and sweet. Made me totally hot.”
Kevin moved his hands to cup her butt, pressing her forward against his erection. “I’m going to have to offer to babysit for Sam and Dani a lot, I guess.”
Eve kissed him, then said, “Better be careful. Who knows where I’ll suddenly start stripping.”
He kissed her deeply, running his hands up and down her back, then bringing them forward to cup her breasts. He looked into her eyes. “Or, we could have a baby of our own.” He wanted to be a father. He wanted to be a parent with Eve. If she was ready for a baby, he was in.
Eve froze and pulled back. “What?”
“A baby. We could have one—or twelve—of our own.”
Her eyes got even bigger. “Twelve? Are you out of your mind?”
“Okay, so two or three.” He grinned and leaned in to kiss her.
“Hold on, big guy,” she said, hand flat on his chest.
He gave her a little frown. “You’re the one that said you got all hot and bothered watching me hold Natalie.”
“Yeah, because you were super sweet and protective and looked so damned amazed when you were holding her.”
“What’s not to be amazed about? It’s a baby .”
The tension in Eve’s spine let go and she sighed. “See? Like that. You’re this big ex-football player who can break up a bar fight without even getting out of breath but you’re all amazed by this tiny baby girl.” She shook her head. “How can I not want you to lick me all over?”
Kevin chuckled. She was driving him nuts. “That licking all over things is definitely going to lead to things that can lead to babies.”
She tipped her head, studying him too seriously. “If we’d stayed together after our first wedding, we’d probably have two or three by now, don’t you think?”
The pang in his chest wasn’t all that unfamiliar. It was the feeling of loss that occasionally hit him when he thought about the years he and Eve had spent apart.
They’d gotten married right out of high school, but they’d broken up almost immediately after the wedding. He’d assumed they’d annulled the marriage and had lived fourteen years thinking he’d let her get away. As it turned out, the annulment had never been official. Still, they’d lost all those years together.
He sometimes had to focus on the fact that he had her now, they were together and solid, and moving forward they could make up for all the things they’d missed.
Including kids.
“Yeah, we probably would have,” he said, his voice sounding thick. They could have had a ten-year-old by now, easily.
Looking at him with love clear in her eyes, she said, “I’d do anything for you. Just say the word.”
Kevin wasn’t sure about the protocol surrounding pushing your wife to have kids if she was hesitant. He wanted to push. He wanted to say, Yes. Now. Please.
She smiled, but went on. “So I’m used to feeling completely turned on by you pretty much every day, all the time. But when you and Mac swept Dani up and out of the sanctuary, I melted.
