  “I don’t care,” Francesca said. “I’ll deal with that after our trip.” She hooked her arm through mine and leaned her head on my shoulder. A satisfied sigh escaped her lips. “I’m so lucky I married you.”

  My heart floated like a cloud.

  ***

  We parked the car in the garage of our Connecticut home in the suburbs. We had a big backyard where the girls could play, and it was quiet. Our neighbors kept to themselves, and we hardly noticed they were there.

  The two-story house had gray trimming with blue shutters. It was exactly the house Francesca wanted, and when I saw it for sale, I had to buy it. I didn’t think I could leave the city, but once we moved in, I realized it was perfect for our family.

  The second we were inside, we were all over each other.

  I kissed her hard on the mouth then scooped her up, her legs hooked around my waist. I walked up the stairs. I avoided Suzie’s toys littered everywhere and made it into the bedroom. I didn’t bother turning on the lights because we were just going to get down to business anyway.

  I stripped her clothes off and watched her yank mine off violently. When we were both naked, we lay on the bed together, our bodies tangled. She ran her hands up my hard chest and wrapped her legs around my waist, wanting me inside her as soon as possible. Her eyes were lit up in flames and her lips were slightly parted in desire.

  I looked at her for a moment, trying to remember a time when this woman wasn’t mine. It was so long ago that I could barely remember it. She was an innate part of me now, the better half of my soul.

  And I loved her so damn much.

  I slowly moved inside her, listening to her breathing change as she took more of me. There was nothing I loved more than making love to her. It was when I felt most alive, most connected to her. Raising two girls took up a lot of our time, as did work. We treasured our alone time together, the mornings and evenings when we made love and didn’t even speak to each other. It was when our souls wrapped around one another, locking in place and never fraying.

  “Hawke…” She wrapped her arms around my neck and dug her fingers into my hair. She locked her eyes with mine, rocking with me on the mattress. “I love you.”

  I pressed my forehead to hers and continued to move slowly, feeling every touch and sensation. Sometimes we fought and sometimes we didn’t see each other much for a few days. Our marriage wasn’t always perfect, and times got rough. But our love never changed. It always stayed the same, prevailing through everything—no matter what. And it would always be that way. “I love you too.”

  I hoped you enjoyed reading WEDNESDAY as much as I enjoyed writing it. It would mean the world to me if you could leave a short review. It’s the best kind of support you can give an author. Thank you so much.
