Any other time, he might have rolled his eyes, maybe given Saul a hard time about his mushy statement. But with his own wife pressed against his chest, her head leaned back against his shoulder and a bright, happy smile on her face, he was feeling pretty mushy himself.

His wife. Nearly a week into it and he was still riding high on the thrill of calling her that. He assumed at some point it would become his new normal, but he hoped he never lost the joy of it, even as the new and shiny settled into the mundane.

As the sky darkened to a deep purple, a buzzing in his pocket told him it was time to leave their magical little spot. They’d brought the girls as promised, let them play together in the sand and surf, building sandcastles and swimming through the thankfully gentle waves. He was loath to break the spell, but they had dinner reservations, and someone had to be the responsible one.

“Time to go,” he said, pressing a kiss to Hayleigh’s temple.

“Awww, Daddy. Just a little longer?”

“Yes, please!” Vicky echoed, turning her wide, pleading gaze on Saul, who glanced over at Connor and shrugged.

Connor had planned for exactly this and had deliberately set his alarm fifteen minutes earlier than necessary so he and Saul could play the indulgent Daddies. And because he knew they’d have given in anyway, so at least now they wouldn’t actually be late.

“Ten minutes, jellybean.”

They were pushing up against that fifteen-minute buffer by the time they finally dragged their reluctant little girls away from the water’s edge and back to the main area of the resort. He couldn’t help but smile when both girls winced as they took their seats. Although the redness had faded from their skin, they’d made it clear throughout the day that the soreness still lingered.

He couldn’t have said about Vicky, but he was certain part of Hayleigh’s continued shifting in her seat was thanks to the large plug he’d settled in her bottom before taking her out to play. Once they were done with dinner, he had every intention of whisking his wife off back to their villa and claiming the only hole he hadn’t yet claimed as her husband.

Picking up the menu in front of him, he tried to focus on the wine list to distract himself from the painful hardening of his cock. He wanted nothing more than to skip dinner altogether and get to the “main event” of their evening, but he and Saul had promised them dinner together after their beach time, and good Daddies always kept their promises.

And, he had to admit, the time together was actually really nice. They really hadn’t gotten to just sit down and enjoy a meal together without some kind of drama hanging over them and it was almost like getting to know Saul all over again. If nothing else, the beaming smiles from Hayleigh and Vicky as they talked and laughed their way through dinner made it worth the “sacrifice” of not having his wife all to himself.

After dinner, and plenty of hugs and tearful goodbyes all around, he and Hayleigh headed back to their villa, her fingers entwined with his and her head resting on his shoulder.

“Thank you for today. It meant a lot to me.”

“You’re welcome, jellybean.” Pausing just outside their door, he turned her and pulled her up against him, reaching down to cup her generous ass in his hands. “I just want you to be happy, Hayleigh. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.”

“I know. And you make me happy.” He squeezed and she let out a little hiss of pain.

“Even when your bottom is bruised and sore?”

“Especially then, Daddy.” Tipping her head back, she grinned up at him. “Are you still planning to…?”

“To what? Oh,” he said when she rolled her eyes. “You mean, am I still planning to fuck my wife’s gorgeous bottom tonight? Yes, I absolutely am.”

“Well. Whatever Chef wants, Chef gets, right?”

It was a long-running joke from back home at the Ranch. But just then, with Hayleigh in his arms and his ring on her finger, it couldn’t have been truer. She was everything he’d ever wanted in one gorgeous package, and he was never letting her go.

The End
