Abby looked down at her phone. “Three hours and fifteen minutes.”
He sighed. “I guess I can wait that long.”
“Or,” Abby said, “we can put on a movie for Noah and sneak away.”
Hunt’s eyes turned half-lidded. “You’re the smartest woman I’ve ever married.Yes.Right now.” He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder, and she laughed.
“I’m the only woman you’ve married, you Neanderthal!” She smacked his ass as he climbed with her up the stairs.
“Neanderthal or not, I was smart enough to choose you. And for the record, I preferpirate. I’ve got my booty and I don’t plan on letting her go.”
Chapter 31
Abby turned on a movie for Noah, but her son was so chatty and excited that she and Hunt decided to join him and call in for takeout.
Hunt closed the door to their bedroom hours later. “Finally alone.” He sent her a heated look.
She glanced around casually, as though he didn’t affect her. “Is this the master?”
Hunt pulled off his shirt, and Abby’s breath caught. “It can be,” he said. “But there are four other bedrooms with bathrooms on this level. This isn’t the largest, but it has the best view.”
Abby looked out one of the windows onto the yard and the log cabin tree house. “So we can watch Noah play?”
“Yes. And our other children.”
Abby choked. “Other children? As far as I know, I just have the one.”
Hunt pulled her to him, shimmying off her top as he did. “I’ve been thinking we need one or two more. And I want to officially adopt Noah. With your approval.”
Abby held up a finger. “We’ll get to the one or two more children in a moment. What do you mean you want to adopt Noah?”
He held her face. “I never want you to have to worry about anything, no matter what happens to me. I want to adopt Noah and set up a trust fund for him.”
Tears filled her eyes. “You’re the worst player on the planet.”
His chin jerked back comically. “That’s not whatshe said.”
“With bad nineties humor on top of it. Oh, Hunt, would you really do that for Noah?”
He kissed her. “I’d do it for you, and for me, and absolutely for Noah. I love that kid like a son.”
She kissed him and slid her hands up his back. “I would love for you to adopt Noah.”
He unfastened the snap on her jeans. “Now that that’s settled, what about my other proposition?”
Her bra was off. When the hell did he remove it? He was doing that thing with his fingers on her nipples again. “Hmm? What proposition?”
“One or two babies.”
That snapped Abby out of her lust haze. “We haven’t even had our second wedding.”
“Okay, so not right now. You’ll probably want to finish nursing school first. Though I insist you take classes later in the day. Your morning classes are messing with our sex life.”
She laughed. “Yes to the later classes. They were pretty brutal on me too.”
“And the baby?”
Abby narrowed her eyes. “I’ll think about it. Let’s see what happens here first. I need to make sure we’re doing it right.”
