“Okay.” He frowned at the flames flickering in the fireplace. “Now I know my brain is broken along with my arm. Why are we back to your doc, if we were talking about a book deal?”
“Because if I’m writing a book, I’m sitting at home or at the Library of Congress doing research or I’m flying to New York for a day or so to interview sources. Yum,” she cooed as she licked his slit and took drops of his pre-cum onto her talented tongue.
“Yum yourself, babe. Now stop this. Look at me. Christ, pretty lady, you are one huge tease and I love you.”
She smiled at him. “Yes, I know.”
“What should I know?”
“If I am writing a book, my schedule is my own. Not that I would slack off, because you know I rise and shine at six, alarm or no.”
“Kim!”
“Okay. Here it is. My oncology doc says that if we want to, I can get pregnant.”
There was the other shoe dropping. “I see.”
She worried her lower lip. “I wanted to bring it up for discussion.”
Because we never really have. So much else to consider like careers and daily schedules and risks to your health. “I’m glad you have.”
Her luminous eyes widened. “You are?”
He ran his fingers into the wealth of her wavy tresses. His wife. His everything. “Absolutely. I knew one day we might talk about this.” I hoped you might be well enough that we could consider it.
She got up on her knees, like a kid delighted with a gift. “And you’re willing to?”
“Willing. Able. Don’t have any predetermined ideas. Want to hear what you think.”
Her expression went all sweet and mellow. “Sounds like you are planning for a mission. Collecting facts and opinions.”
“Maybe. But talking with you about anything is easy. And when I’m here and we can, if I’m not talking to you, I am damn well fucking you. Correction. Making love to you.”
“I know.” She sank down in his lap, all curled up nice and tight against his heart where she should be. One of her hands stole up to twirl his long hair around her forefinger. “I love you, Zeus.”
“Let’s go to bed, babe.”
She pushed back and examined him. “Don’t you want to talk more about this?”
“Sure. But I’ve missed you all day. It’s cold outside. You need warming up and I am the man to do it.”
“You’re really in no hurry to talk about this?”
“Are you in a hurry to decide?”
“No, I want us to go through all the issues together.”
“Me, too. While I’m on leave, we have at least two more months to talk about this. Maybe more. We have lots of time, months and years, when you might want to walk a baby carriage and I might no longer be a SEAL. We’ll change, grow older, wiser maybe. But you and I are never going to be done.”
Grinning, she got to her feet and put out her hand to help him up. “I love when you say that.”
“Come on then, Mrs. Calderon. Let me repeat it in bed.”
