Max waited impatiently until everyone had left the house. Cleo whined at the back door and Maddie let her back out to fight with her ball. Dog hairs were all over Maddie’s fresh clothes, but thankfully there were none on her face. She went directly to Max and held him.
Max said, “Will you marry me soon?”
“As soon as you like.”
He grinned. “An agreeable woman. What a lucky cuss I am.” Then he added, “Now, about that bag of goodies you brought…”
Maddie looked up at him and smiled. “Thank you, Max.”
“For what, sweetheart?”
“For being a reprobate. For being a kinky, macho, adorable, loveable man.” She kissed him gently. “And mostly for being all mine.”
Max lifted her in his arms. “Being all yours is my pleasure. In fact, I insist on it.” He started toward the bedroom. “As for the rest, I think we need to explore the kinky part just a bit more.”
He bobbed his eyebrows at Maddie and she laughed, saying, “Now where did I leave my feather?”
His life was complete.
