Dr. Tall, Dark...and Dangerous?
Page 16
He covered her mouth with a kiss, which, if he didn’t put a stop to it soon, could get out of control for a parking lot. “And you would have missed all of Chloe’s teenage angst,” he said, after breaking off the kiss.
“How true. Maybe that part would have been okay to miss.” She laughed and he joined her. “I love you so much.”
“I love you, too.”
He gazed into her eyes, now more beautiful than ever with a few creases around them from years well spent grabbing life by the horns and shaking it for all it was worth. With him.
Kasey hopped to stand alone while he removed the wheelchair. “How am I supposed to get everything ready for Patrick and our guests with this blasted cast on my foot?”
He opened the car door for her to slide in. “You’ll manage, you always do. And I’ll help.”
“Why did you let me try snowboarding again?”
He bent and kissed her again. Smiled. “Because I’ve been married to you long enough to know that once you put your mind to something, there’s no talking you out of it.”
“Like loving you,” she said. “There’s been no talking me out of that either.”
He stopped, love swelling in his chest, and grinned at the pride of his life—after his children, of course. “You know I love you, but promise me one thing.”
“What’s that?”
“You can sky dive, zip line, learn to ride a motorcycle if you insist, but from now on snowboarding is not negotiable.”
“Yes, darling, whatever you say. You’re the famous pediatric reconstructive surgeon.”
“Since when has my professional title ever won me an argument with you?”
“Since right now, simply because you’re taking such great care of me since I broke my ankle on our vacation. And since I’ve categorically decided that when I married you, nine years, seven months and twenty-five days ago, I officially became the luckiest woman in the world.”
