I can make it better,she told herself,I can bridge this chasm.And satisfied, she joined her lover in their kitchen.
“It’s wobbling.”
“That’s because you’re shaking it.”
“I am not. You standing on the step-ladder is making me nervous, Sails.” Bodhi lifted her down from where she had placed the star at the top of their Christmas tree. She giggled as he swung her up into his arms.
“Merry Christmas, baby.”
“Not for another two days,” Bodhi said and sighed, albeit with a grin. “Our little December sex fest is almost over.”
Vittoria and Christina were bringing the children back today, and, although their parents missed them terribly, it had been nice to be alone for a few days.
Sailor kissed him as he stood her on his feet. “I’m going to go to Vinci with your mother to get the kid’s gifts.”
Bodhi looked surprised. “Really? They haven’t got enough?”
Sailor smiled sheepishly. “Okay, you got me…I’m going to get your gift.”
“In that case…” He grinned and swatted her butt with his hand. “You really don’t have to.”
She rolled her eyes. “Yes, I do, because I already know by now you have got me some ridiculous lavish present.”
Bodhi shrugged, unrepentant. “You gave me my daughter, and you. That’s enough for me.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” she said, trying to hide her blush. She glanced out of the window, seeing a dust storm following a car in the distance. They were so secluded that any car was a rare sight. She glanced at her watch. “They’re early. About three hours early.”
“Damn, and I was going to have you again on the kitchen table.”
They both watched the car, but it seemed to disappear into the hills. Sailor shrugged. “Well, guess it wasn’t them. Bodhi Creed, you are insatiable,” she continued as he began to unbutton her dress. He grinned.
“Quiet woman, I’m opening my present.”
They fucked again in the living room, then, as promised, on the kitchen table. Bodhi had kept his promise and they had made love in every room of the villa over the past week – with the exception of the spider filled outhouse, much to Sailor’s relief.
They showered together and were preparing lunch when Sailor heard a car starting. She went to the door. “Bodhi?”
“Yeah, babe?”
“Someone was here.” She pointed to the deep track marks in the dirt outside, then in the distance, they saw the same car as before driving at full speed away from the villa. Bodhi looked angry.
“What the fuck?”
Sailor drew in a shaky breath. “Maybe,” she said slowly, “it was someone who got lost and made their way here by accident.”
Bodhi didn’t look appeased. “Or maybe it’s some asshole intruding on our privacy.”
She put a hand on his shoulder. “It would easy to think that, especially with our history, but let’s err on the side of caution.”
She could see Bodhi struggling with that, but eventually, he nodded. “Fine.”
The next time they say a vehicle approaching, there was no mystery. Solly jumped out of her grandmother’s SUV and ran into her mother’s arms, her brother following her. Sailor hugged them both tightly. “Oh, I have missed you both so much.”
Tim hugged his dad. “Hey, Pa,” he grinned, then kissed Sailor. “Hey, Mom.”
Sailor rocked back a little at that. He’d never called her Mom before. She hid the tears in her eyes by waving them all in for the huge dinner she had made for them all.
“The place looks amazing,” Vittoria nodded approvingly, as they all dived into the pasta Sailor had made, along with fresh vegetables and oozy, cheesy garlic bread. Bodhi poured wine for the adults, grape juice for the kids, ignoring Tim rolling his eyes.
