She laughed.“So I guess that is what we’re doing today.”
“They should be delivered by nine, but we can go and do some Christmas shopping if you’d like.I could take you to lunch at the diner.”
“You know, I think I quite like the idea of us getting the nursery set up,” Larissa said.“How are you at putting furniture together?”
“I’m good with my hands.”
In her mind she had a flashback to how good it felt having his hands on her.She tried to ignore that feeling, but it was like it came straight to the forefront of her mind, and she couldn’t get it out.It had felt so good.
Stop it, Larissa.
“Do you want to change the color scheme in the nursery?”he asked.
She shook her head.“I like the cream walls.”
“Me too.See, look at us, finally being able to agree and work through important stuff.”
She laughed.“Thank you ...you know, for everything.”
He nodded.“There was no way I was going to keep that from you.”
“Were you in trouble with Smokey?”
“No, I think he wanted me to tell you.”
“Why?”
“You had a right to know.”
She took a deep breath.
“But don’t be upset with your dad for long.Trust me, sometimes it’s best to be angry and then just move on.”
“You know, my mother said something similar.”
“She sounds like a smart woman.She told me I had to take care of you and her grandbabies.”
Larissa put a hand on her stomach.“I wish she would have gotten the chance to meet them.”
“Well, I’m not big on faith, but your dad is, and you believe, so I guess you must have faith that your mother is looking down on them, and shewillsee them, with you.”
Tears filled her eyes as she looked at Big Dick.In that moment, he wasn’t George, he was Big Dick.“That is so sweet, thank you.”
She got to her feet and rounded the table, to throw her arms around him and hug him.It had been the first time she had hugged him in so long.“Thank you for giving me those last moments with her.”
He held her tightly, and it was like she could feel the heat of his hand through her clothes.
“Always.Whatever you need, baby, all you’ve got to do is ask.”He rubbed at her back.“And I will make it happen.”
She loved this man so much.Pulling away, she kissed his cheek and quickly moved back into her own seat, finishing up her plate of food, which surprised her.She had never eaten so much food in one sitting.
Big Dick refused to let her do the dishes, and she had no choice but to dry, because he wouldn’t let her wash.Even when he kept telling her to sit down and rest, she refused.
He cooked breakfast, so she was at least going to help with cleanup, and he was a pain in the ass about it.Even though they argued, and it wasn’t a serious argument, they got the dishes done.The house didn’t have a dishwasher, and Larissa was happy about that.She didn’t want anyone else doing the dishes.There was no point.She enjoyed washing dishes, which was strange, but it was where she got the chance to think.Also, she imagined having her kids around her, talking to her, spilling out their problems as they did the dishes.
Once they were done, Big Dick took delivery of the cribs and carried them upstairs.He still wasn’t wearing a shirt, and Larissa was finding it increasingly difficult to focus.He looked so sexy with all of his heavily muscled arms on display.She couldn’t think past the memory of his naked body surrounding her.It was like she couldn’t think about anything other than sex.Sex was all she had on her brain.And that was scary, because she was not a sex maniac.Sex had gotten her into this trouble.Although, it no longer felt like trouble.
So, for three hours, while Larissa read out the instructions, which must have been missing a part, Big Dick built a crib, twice.The first way, following the instructions, the second way, doing it the way he knew best.When it came time to do the second crib, he had it up and in place with no trouble at all.After they were assembled, she had him put them into place, which was on either side of the room.The room already had curtains, and there was a small cabinet along the far wall.
