When an assistant informed them that the priest would be late, Lacy handed the two-month-old Hayley to Gage. Lacy nodded toward Stella then pushed Gage. “You’re going to get this thing settled…. at least make a good start for our daughter.” The night before Lacy and Gage hammered out a lively debate on what Gage was going to do regarding her mother. It was when Lacy asked Gage whether she wanted Hayley to know her grandmother or not that convinced the very reluctant blonde to concede.
Summoning all the courage she had, Gage walked across the room. She was not going to be the one Hayley would blame for not knowing her grandmother. “Stella.”
“Gage.” Her finger pulled back the blanket. “She’s beautiful. Like you were.”
Harsh words almost escaped Gage’s lips. Damn that Lacy. She knew if I had Hayley in my arms I wouldn’t…. okay, I can do this. “Yes, she is. Like her mother though.”
Stella realized Gage meant Lacy. “You’re a lucky one… when you found her.”
Gage took a moment to search out and find her partner. “The luckiest.”
“Gage?” She asked tentatively. “I told Lacy I’d stay for a while longer… but it’s really up to you. I’ll leave if you want.”
Staring into her mother’s green eyes for a long moment, Gage felt tamed emotions start to stampede inside her again. What she wanted all her life was standing before her and it was time to make a decision that would alter the course of her life and that of her daughter. Handing Hayley to her grandmother, Gage said. “She wants you to stay… as does Lacy and the kids.” Sucking a deep and accepting breath, Gage said the words she never thought she would ever get the chance to say. “I do, too…. mom.”
Both sets of green eyes filled with happy tears. It would be a long road ahead of them to repair an absent and damaged relationship but they were willing to traverse that road together.
The ceremony concluded with Sammy grabbing the priest’s garb and yanking on it. “Me, me. Vash my hair now.“ The nearly four year old was enthralled when he watched the priest pour holy water over Hayley’s head and wanted in on the action. Wiggling until Hank let him down, Sammy determinedly made his wishes known.
Derek rolled his gray eyes at his brother’s antics. “Sammy, he didn’t wash her hair.” He directed his little brother away from the robed priest.
It was Dani’s time to roll her eyes. “Derek? You know who he reminds me of?” An innocent Derek shook his head. “You! When you were that age.”
When Dani let loose a loud laugh, Derek glared at her. He leaned down and whispered something in Sammy’s ear. Pointing at Dani, he commanded. “Go.”
With an impish gleam in his blue eyes that matched his mother’s eyes, Sammy bounded after his older sister.
************************
After the long day came to a close and the kids were put to bed, Lacy and Gage found quiet refuge in their bed. As usual, Gage arranged the covers and pillows just the way she liked them and opened her arms for Lacy.
“Are you happy?”
“Mmmmm… more than you could ever know.” Gage kissed Lacy’s head. “You?”
“Blissfully so.” Lacy draped her long leg over Gage. “What’s next? For us?”
“You mean after the school year is over? Or after we take the kids on vacation or after your brother and sister’s weddings or after….”
Lacy kissed Gage soundly. “After I get finished with you.”
Waggling her eyebrows, Gage smirked. “Does this mean I finally get some?”
“You’re going to get something alright and when I’m through with you…”
Gage interrupted her lover. “I won’t be able to walk? Please, tell me I won’t be able to walk…. for at least a week.”
“Gage Ballant…. you are incorrigible.”
“Lacy Levine Ballant… you are right.” Gage pulled her lover on top of her.
As Lacy settled between her lover’s legs, she thrust her hips forward a couple of times.
“Don’t tease me.”
“It’s not teasing. It’s….. “ Lacy thrust her hips forward again and kissed Gage deeply. “Foreplay.”
“For you, I’d play anytime, anywhere, anyway.” The blonde ran her hands over Lacy’s backside pulling her closer. “Lacy?”
“Mmmmm…..” Lacy nuzzled her lover’s neck, spreading small kisses freely.
“Thank you.”
“For what?” Lacy’s lips refused to relinquish the supple skin of her partner as she continued to leave a trail of wet tiny kisses over her lover’s collarbone and down to the waiting breasts.
“Loving me….” Gage sucked in a breath when Lacy latched on to one of her nipples. “Having our baby…. all of our children…..and, for what you did for Stella… my mom and me… you know.” The blonde’s breath became ragged under the pleasurable assault of her lover. She barely got out the next words. “Basically for giving me a reason to live.”
Feasting on her lover’s breasts, Lacy smiled. “My pleasure.”
“Mmmmmmmmm…..” Loving every minute of what Lacy was doing to her, Gage agreed. “Mine, too.”
As Lacy and Gage fell happily into the night of lust-filled pleasure and loving, the blonde was glad she had arranged for Stella and Lynn Lewis to take care of the kids the next morning so the couple could have a late lazy loving morning all to themselves. Having a live-in grandmother had its advantages.
The fire Lacy was building in the blonde was sizzling beyond control. “God, baby, you keep that up and I won’t last much longer.”
“That’s the plan.”
On the verge of toppling over at the insistent tongue and persistent hands of her lover, Gage turned the table on her lover as she forged a sexual attack of her own. A busy tongue and hands from Gage roamed freely over her lover’s body, stirring the burning embers inside Lacy into a raging passionate volcano ready to explode.
“Gage, sweetheart…. “ Lacy husked. “I’m so… so….God, I’m…...”
Breaking briefly from the kiss, Gage confirmed. “That’s the plan.”
“…there!” Lacy screamed as she fell over the precipice into a satiated state of bliss bringing her lover along for the ride.
