“Marco, without you I would get a whole night’s sleep and wake up rejuvenated and rested, but what woman needs that when she can have a large virile man keeping her up all night with endless orgasms and sweaty bodies?”
“You’re welcome.” He pulled me close and planted greedy kisses down my neck.
I laughed out loud and giggled while pushing him away. “Stop it, we’re not alone.”
“Not my problem. I have every right to kiss my wife.”
“You’re just trying to rub it in their faces.”
“I might.”
We smiled at each other, enjoying the connection between us.
“Do you think we should go down to the lake and see what’s going on with Willow and Solo?”
“No. Archer already sent Mila down there with some lunch an hour ago.”
I looked over to see Mila playing cards by a picnic table with three others. “I’ll go ask Mila what she saw.”
“You were born curious and it gets you in trouble.” Marco pulled me down again. “Willow and Solo are grown-ups and unless he hurts her, it’s none of our business what happens between them. I’m much more interested in what will happen between us and if there’s a hammock in our new house by the beach.”
“I’m sure we can figure something out.”
“Good. I’m planning to write my book while we’re there.”
“What genre?”
“Sci-fi, I think. Something in the future where men and women are even in numbers and live as husbands and wives.”
“Sounds like something from the past, not the future.”
“Ah, but the past has a way of repeating itself. My book would be full of intrigues and drama.” He lit up. “And it would have these futuristic details with space ships and aliens.”
“Sounds very entertaining.”
“Maybe there will be some love too.” Marco angled his head. “Or at least some steamy sex scenes.”
“Just don’t write a book about a woman who pretends to be a sex-bot.”
Marco’s deep laughter attracted attention. “What’s going on?” Tristan shouted to us and got up from the group he was sitting with.
“Shelly just came up with the best idea ever.”
“You did? Is it something that’s going to benefit the world?” Tristan asked her with excitement.
“No,” she said. “It’s nothing.”
“She came up with the beginning to my new book. It’s guaranteed to make people smile. Does that count as benefiting the world?”
Tristan gave a whistle. “You’re going to write a book?”
“Yeah. I’ll have time now that we’re moving to the Motherlands. What else am I going to do all day by the beach?”
“What’s the title.”
“I don’t know.” Marco tapped his chin. “How aboutBrainy and the Pole Climber?”
Tristan wrinkled his nose. “Not very catchy, is it?”
