Morning

The Castle

A New Day

To be honest, that was the best sleep she’d ever had—or at least had in the longest time. Maybe it was because she’d had a night out, a little fun, and to be cuddled against a very sexy man, but whatever it was…

She was here for it.

Moving slightly, Ethan’s body shifted with hers, and he nuzzled her shoulder with his face.

“Mmmmm…morning already?” he asked. “Dehydrated.”

She laughed.

“I think what saved us was Graham wouldn’t let us get into the hard stuff. I don’t feel hungover.”

Lucky her.

His mouth was so dry a camel could call it home.

“Speak for yourself,” he stated. “I’m an old man, and nights like that aren’t as easy to recover from. Why do you think Callen and I don’t revert back to the bullshit we once did?”

She snorted.

“Well, you looked sexy dancing in a pub in Scotland. All you needed was a kilt.”

He was amused by his wife.

Rolling to his back, she went with him, and they stayed cuddled together in the middle of the bed.

“If my wife wants me in a kilt, I’m wearing a kilt,” he admitted. “Oh, and if I’m wearing one, so are Callen, Chris, and Gene. I’m going to make them have fun with me in a skirt.”

She kissed him on the mouth and brushed some of his midnight black hair out of his eyes.

“If you think I’ll let them say no…”

He found her amusing.

Oh, he was well aware of the fact that she wouldn’t. There were no levels to her depravity when it came to sexy men with easy access.

He knew his wife.

She had a kink, and it was mostly them—not that he’d complain. He preferred her to be all about them because that’s how it should be.

“I’m going to get the boys in them, too. Koda, CJ, EJ, and Christopher Anthony—for the wedding.”

Ethan laughed.

“Oh, they are NOT going to like that. Koda will do it because Coraline will be amused by it, but our sons…Christopher Anthony will be the hardest to convince. He’s not one to make a spectacle. The other two…”

Oh, she was aware.

Only, a mother had ways.

“I’ll bribe them. I’m not above it.”

Yeah, that would actually work. The boys were pretty easy when it came to bribery. Offer them a cookie, or pizza…
