I lay on the floor feeling like my muscles have been put through a grinder.

“How are you doing?” She comes over and hugs my neck.

“Better now that you’re hugging me.” I catch my breath. “Okay, I admit. Maybe there is something to yoga.” I don’t tell her that I spent most of the session looking at her gorgeous ass and thinking about all the ways I’m going to play with her once I won. “I think you handed me my first defeat.”

“I’ve just helped you get onto the road to winning.”

“I like that better.”

“I know something else you’ll like,” she says with a naughty grin.

“I’m listening.”

“Yoga makes me horny,” she confesses.

My dick turns to steel.

“Does that mean we get to fool around despite me losing the challenge?”

“It sure does.”

I can’t wait, I’m too excited. Clutching her in my hands, I flip her onto her back and begin kissing her while she claws my scalp and runs her fingers through my hair

I kiss her forehead, cheeks, and neck before nibbling on her.

“Stop,” she says, panting in a breathy whisper that doesn’t make me want to stop.

“What’s the matter?” I ask, concern welling up inside me.

“You can’t mark me,” she says. “When we meet Gage tomorrow, I don’t want him to see me covered in marks and suspect I have a boyfriend.”

A groan of disappointment escapes me, but I nod in agreement. “But you are my girl, so I’ll always mark you. With my mouth, my tongue, my cock. Every guy will know you’re mine, even if they can’t see my love branded on your skin.”

I drag myself down her chest, lay on soft wet kisses, restraining the urge to use my teeth. But when I get to her thighs, the delicious desires swirling inside me are too much to handle. I leave gentle bite marks on her delicate flesh before I consume her pussy.

Several orgasms later we cuddle up in the treehouse.

“Do you miss Paige?” she asks.

I think about Dylan and Charlotte’s mother and smile.

“Yes, she was a wonderful mother and great to be around. I came to love her. Even though I always knew you were the one, I believed I could push down the love I felt for you and live for Paige and the kids.” I stroke my hands over her face. “But I always wanted you.”

“I’m worried that the kids won’t accept me in their life, they might think I’m trying to replace their mother.”

“Charlotte and Dylan barely remember Paige, they were so young when she died. I tell them stories about her so she’s never forgotten. I want us to make new stories. You, me, and the kids as a family. I want us to give Dylan and Charlotte brothers and sisters to play with.”

She smiles and my heart celebrates.

“Shane, you’re going to make me cry,” she says.

“We’ll fill this mountain with cries of joy, laughter and happiness. I finally have you in my arms and I feel like jumping for joy.”

Later, when the kids get home, I tell them that Willow will be living with us from now on and Dylan is happy, but Charlotte catches on fast.

“Are you going to be our new mommy?” she asks, which stops Dylan in his tracks and I see realization dawn on his face.

“Really?” he asks, elated.
