I nod, holding her close as I consider how lucky I am to have such a compassionate, caring woman for my wife. “I miss my brother, and it has gone on long enough. I will do my best to make things right.”

Kade nuzzles my neck as I wake, his muscular arm sliding around my waist from behind. “Good morning, darling.”
Feeling his long, thick erection pressing against my lower back, I rub up against him as I murmur, “Itisa good morning, and I know exactly how we can make it even better.”
“I like where your mind has gone.” Kade moves his hand up my body to cup a breast.
“Hold that thought,” I say, angling my head and pressing a kiss to the underside of his prickly jawline. “I need to pee and brush my teeth.” I hop up and race to the bathroom the same time he does. After we attend to business, we crawl back into bed to pick up where we left off.
“I’m so glad we went into the office yesterday afternoon.” Kade nips at my earlobe as he tugs on the hem of my silk nightie. “This is a much more productive way to spend our morning.”
“I’m glad you think so.” I flash him a saucy wink as I sit up, pulling my nightdress over my head and tossing it aside. “Your turn.” I whip the covers off and yank his light cotton sleep pants down.
“Someone is feisty.” He grins, folding his arms behind his head, as I straddle his thighs.
“Is being hot for my husband a crime?”
“Fuck no,” he hisses as I lower myself over his big dick. “I love how insatiable you are lately.”
I hold still on top of him and close my eyes, savoring the feel of his body pulsing inside mine. My eyes blink open. “I love you.” I bend down and kiss him. Kade quickly takes control, hardening the kiss as he clasps my head and devours my mouth while I sit on top of him, neither of us moving.
“Thank you for sharing your life with me,” he says when we break our lip-lock. “I never take it, or you, for granted.”
“I know you don’t. Neither of us do after what we endured to get to this point.”
“I never forget it,” he adds, moving his fingers to where we are joined. His thumb presses gently on my clit as I start to rock on top of him. “Ride your cock, darling. Take what you need.”
I bounce up and down on him for a while, both of us moaning and whimpering until Kade flips us over, automatically knowing when I need it harder and faster. My husband fucks me with devoted expertise, caressing every inch of my skin as he simultaneously drives in and out of me with deep, hard thrusts.
We come together before collapsing on the bed, bodies sated and chests heaving in the aftermath of our lovemaking. Kade curls an arm around my waist, pulling me in close to his side. He dusts kisses all over my face. “Sometimes, I miss you even when you’re right next to me because the intensity of the way I feel about you is such that I can’t ever bear to be parted. Even when you’re with me.”
“I know what you mean.” I trail my fingers through the dark hair covering his chest. “No one else I know spends so much time with their significant other. I love how much we genuinely crave and enjoy time together.” Kade and I rarely have arguments. I’m sure marriage counselors would have something to say about that, like some level of arguing is healthy, but we don’t. And we spend a lot of time together, working our business, running the house, and looking after the kids.
That’s not to imply we don’t have our own interests, separate friends, and occasions where we are apart because all of that happens. But I genuinely adore my husband. He’s my best friend, my lover, my family, my partner in life.
“Loving you is as easy as breathing,” my husband says, tenderly kissing my mouth. “I never knew life could be this good.”
I twist on my side and prop up on one elbow, peering down at my handsome husband. “You’re an amazing husband and father, Kade. We’re lucky to have you.”
Kade gently clasps my chin, pulling my face to his. His lips brush softly against mine, and my heart swoons. “As much as I want to stay here all day, we should probably get up and break the good news to our daughter.” After talking it through last night, we have decided to go with Matthew’s suggestion.
“Yes.” I rest my head on his chest. One of my favorite things to do is listen to his heart beat. I will never forget the sheer terror I felt that day in the warehouse when he got shot. His blood was all over me, and I was terrified I’d lost him. I slide my arm around his body and wrap my leg around his, clinging to him to remember he’s here and he’s whole. Hearing Kade’s heart beating steadily under my ear is like music to my ears. It always reminds me of how close he came to death and how strong and vibrant he is.
“Do you need me to get anything for tonight?” he asks as we reluctantly separate and get out of bed.
“Could you go to the Italian deli and pick up some ladyfingers? I haven’t made tiramisu for Kent in a long time.”
“Sure,” he says, heading for the bathroom.
“Kade.” I call out to him as I slip my robe on and slide my feet into my matching slippers. “How are you feeling about tonight?”
“A little anxious, but I’m glad you arranged it. I want to repair my relationship with my brother.”
I walk toward him and hug him. “That makes me happy, and he wants that too.”
