“I know, baby. It’s not gonna be like this forever. Once you testify, things’ll die down.”
“Then can we go see Roses for Anna?”
He smiled. “Yes.”
“What if they’re only playing in, I don’t know, Sweden?”
“Then I’ll take you to Sweden.”
I grinned. “Correct answer, husband.”
“I’m aware, wife.” He stretched out beside me again and kissed my shoulder. “Food or fucking?”
“Food,” I said immediately.
“Are you sure?” His hand slid between my legs and cupped me.
I arched against his palm. “Why don’t we order then you can make me come while we wait.”
Reese chuckled. “I can do that.”

The next morning, I donned the hated wig and we headed down to the lobby. As we walked to the restaurant for breakfast, I couldn’t help but admire the breathtaking views. “It’s beautiful, Reese.”
He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me gently. “You wanna explore, or...”
“Or, what?”
“Go back to our room and fuck.”
I giggled, stroking his face. “You’re so romantic, Mr. Alden.”
“Want you barefoot and pregnant, Mrs. Alden.”
I laid my hand over his mouth. “Shh. People will hear you.”
He chuckled. “Let’s skip breakfast and—”
“No,” I interrupted. “I’m starving.”
“We can always order room service again.”
“If I wasn’t so hungry, and wanted all I can eat, I’d walk you right back to our room and keep doing what we’ve been doing,” I admitted as Reese and I were led to our table.
He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me close, kissing my temple. “Rain check, then.”
I smiled up at him. “Done.”
We arrived at our table and I let out a quiet gasp. “What the heck?”
Ryder rose to his feet and Sadie craned her neck, letting out a quiet squeal as she stood as well. “Surprise,” she said.
I looked up at Reese. “Did you know about this?”
“Nope.” He grinned and led me to the table, hugging Ryder and Sadie, then waiting for me to do the same.
Sadie and I took our seats again and Ryder and Reese sat across from each other. “When did this all happen?” Reese asked, looping an arm over the back of my chair.
Ryder grinned. “You forget we know the same people.”
“Sandy.”
“Who’s Sandy?” I asked.
“She works for us... specifically at the Brass Frog,” Ryder said. “When Reese asked her to help with the travel stuff, I had her add me and Sadie to the list.”
“Don’t feel like you have to hang with us,” Ryder said. “We’re here for backup, not to interrupt your honeymoon. And if you want to eat alone, we won’t be offended.”
“I actually like the idea of getting to know each other a bit better,” I said, and smiled.
Reese stroked my back. “I’m good with a standing dinner date. We’ll play it by ear for the rest.”
Ryder laughed. “Okay, brother.”
“Are you saying you don’t want us following you back to your room every night?” Sadie frowned at Ryder. “This is not what we agreed to, honey.”
Reese chuckled. “Even though you’re crashin’ our honeymoon, I’m glad you’re here, Sade, but the room thing is a hard no for me.”
“Dang it,” she breathed out, and I giggled.
I squeezed his knee. “Killjoy.”
Our conversation was light and comical as we grabbed our food at the buffet, then sat down to eat. Sadie was an absolute hoot away from the abbey. She’d always been nice, but what I didn’t pick up on before was her sense of humor. She was hilarious. Even Reese laughed (out loud) more than once and that just wasn’t his style.
He and I had always had a good deal of laughter in our relationship, but he didn’t engage with others the same way... and never with other women. Sadie was different and it was sweet the way Ryder watched her... totally besotted with her.
I couldn’t blame him. I was starting to love her too.
“You’re going to have to roll me out of here,” I complained taking one last bite of eggs.
“How about we suit up and build a snowman,” Reese suggested.
I giggled. “Okay, Elsa.”
Sadie grinned. “That sounds like so much fun.”
“I’m in,” I said.
“Good.” Reese leaned in and whispered “Maybe later I can show you what a real snowman does with his carrot.”
We left our table and headed for our rooms. We changed into snow gear and met Ryder and Sadie back in the lobby. Just as we stepped outside, a tall, blond man sporting the sexiest handlebar moustache walked up to us, his arm wrapped around a gorgeous brunette.
“Hey, Hawk,” Reese greeted. “Payton.”
“Hi guys,” Payton said.
Sadie pulled her in for a hug and I was introduced to the couple.
“Are you having fun?” Payton asked.
“Ask me once my breakfast has digested,” I said, laying my hand over my stomach. “I think I might have eaten a little too much.”
Payton giggled. “Then you should probably drink more coffee.”
“You might be right,” I agreed.
“Where are Dallas and Macey?” Reese asked.
“Macey’s dealing with her motion sickness. She doesn’t do well in cars, or planes, or boats, or trains,” Payton said. “So they went to their room.”
“Oh, that sucks,” I said. “I have some meclizine if she needs it.”
“I’ll check on her later and let you know if she needs anything,” Payton said. “You’ll meet her tomorrow, I’m sure.”
“All’s clear for the moment,” Hawk said. “Dallas got the lodge guest list over to Brock, so he’ll call if there are any red flags.”
“Brock?” I asked.
“My brother,” Payton said. “Dallas’s partner.”
“Oh, right.” I remembered Reese giving me the lowdown on who everyone was, but there were so many people to keep track of. His sphere of influence had expanded greatly since we were young.
“Reese wants to build a snowman,” Sadie said.
Hawk raised an eyebrow. “No shit?”
“No shit,” Reese confirmed, and I giggled.
“Let’s go,” Payton said, and we headed around the corner, singing the song from Frozen and driving the men crazy.
Reese
I SLAMMED INTO Alexa and came harder than I ever had before. She was on all-fours, her perfect and luscious ass up, her cheek to the mattress, and I had just slapped her six times, giving her her second orgasm in as many minutes. Fuck me, I’d missed her.
“You’re so tight.”
“You keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll change that,” she retorted, her voice breathless.
“Wasn’t complaining, baby.” I slid my palms across her back and cupped her ass. “Perfect.”
“You can thank the sugar gods for that.”
I chuckled. “You and your ice cream obsession.”
“Mmm,” she hummed.
I slid my finger through her wetness, my cock still encased in her tight, wet pussy. Moving my finger to her clit, I leaned forward and kissed her back, right where the rise of her ass met her spine.
“Reese,” she whispered.
“More, baby?”
She pushed back against me trying to get closer and rasped, “Yes.”
Running my finger through her wetness again, I slid it into her asshole and she mewed in need, pressing against me, so I slid in more.
“Baby,” she whimpered.
“More?”
“Yes!”
I slammed into her, moving my finger as I moved my cock, and she exploded around me, collapsing on the bed, which meant I was forced to break contact with her ass or her pussy. I chose her ass, following her down and ro
lling us to our sides so I could continue to fuck her. I reached between her legs and cupped her mound, before focusing on her clit.
“Reese,” she squeaked, another climax building.
One thing that hadn’t changed since we’d been apart was her body’s response to my touch. It was something I enjoyed as a teenager, but it was something I savored as a man. I had never loved a woman the way I loved her, and we may have been young when we fell for each other, but I knew my mind and my heart, and that was something that hadn’t changed for me.
“Now, Lex.”
Her pussy contracted around my throbbing cock and I held her close as I came hard inside of her.
Lex’s body shook slightly and I kissed her shoulder. “You okay?”
“No,” she sobbed.
I pulled out of her as gently as I could and rolled her to face me. “Baby? What the fuck? Did I hurt you?”
She shook her head, tears pouring down her face.
I frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“I... I don’t know.”
I wiped her tears way and kissed her soft, wet lips. “It’s okay, baby. I’ve got you.”
“I can’t ever lose you again,” she ordered. “You have to promise me.”
“I’m not going anywhere.”
“Never.”
“Never, baby. I love you. I married you. We’re in it for life.”
She licked her lips and nodded. “Swear.”
“I swear.” I stroked her cheek. “Not even death will separate us, Lex. If I die, I will haunt you like Patrick Swayze haunted Demi Moore.”
“Not good enough.”
“No?”
“No, you can’t die. You have to promise to become a vampire instead.”
“No.”
“Why?” she challenged. “You don’t have an aversion to blood... do you?”
“Blood’s not a problem,” I said. “Sparkling’s where I draw the line.”
She laughed so hard, she snorted and I relaxed, pulling her in close again. “There’s my girl.”
“I love you,” she said, still giggling.
“Love you more.”
She dropped her head to my chest and sighed. “Thank you.”
I stroked her back. “You’re welcome.”
“You know, this is the best day ever.”
I chuckled and slid off the bed, heading for the shower. “Building a pornographic snow woman and then fucking like rabbits is pretty damn good.”
Alexa leaned up on her elbows. “Where are you going?”
“Shower.” I smiled. “Comin’?”
She gave me a slow grin. “Yes.”
We made love several more times, getting dirty before getting clean again, then I took my wife back to bed. I didn’t think I’d ever get used to finally having her soft body to hold all night long.
I moved my hand to her belly, sending every wish I had for a baby through my body. Fuck. A daughter, as beautiful as her mom, wreaking as much havoc on me was almost too much to hope for, but I hoped anyway.
This was my last coherent thought before I fell into oblivion.

Alexa
I was awoken by the ring of our room phone, then the quiet voice of Reese answering it.
“Yeah, man, no problem. Okay, see you in a bit.” He hung up and leaned over me, kissing me gently.
“Who was that?” I asked, stretching.
“Dallas. Macey’s really sick, so I need that motion sick stuff you brought.”
I sat up and slid off the mattress. “The poor thing. That’s the worst.”
“I’ll get ’em, honey, just direct me.”
I smiled, kissing him gently. “I should get up anyway. Can’t stay in bed all day when we have more lodge to explore.”
I found the meclizine, threw on some clothes, and brushed my teeth just as a knock at our door came.
“Hey, Dal,” Reese greeted. “Come on in. This is Alexa.”
I grinned and shook Dallas’s hand. Six-foot-two (same height as Reese), green eyes, dark hair with a tinge of red, he was really attractive and he looked really worried for his wife.
I shook some meclizine into a glass and handed it to him. “Macey’s a nurse, right?”
Dallas nodded.
“Let her know these are meclizine, twelve-point-five milligrams.”
He gave me a relieved smile. “She hoped you’d say that.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. She figured since the drive wasn’t that long, she’d be good. She wasn’t.”
I wrinkled my nose. “That sucks donkey balls.”
He chuckled, tipping the glass toward me. “Thanks for this. We’ll see you at dinner if these work.”
“It was nice to meet you,” I said, and Dallas left.
Reese wrapped his arms around me and stroked my hair. “How are you feelin’?”
“Good, honey. Perfect, actually.”
“Yeah?”
“Yes.” I grinned up at him. “Are you hungry?”
“For food or you?”
I giggled. “Both. But let’s start with food.”
He kissed me, gently biting my lower lip. “You sure?”
“Nope,” I retorted, and slid my hands under his shorts, pushing them down his hips.
Kneeling before him, I took his cock in my mouth. Just the tip to start, then sliding my lips half-way down.
“Lex?” he whispered.
I pulled away and looked up at him. “Shh. I’m hungry. Let me eat.”
He grinned and I went back to my task. I gripped his length gently and pulled down as I took him into my mouth again. I ran a nail over his nipple, continuing to work his cock with my mouth and hand.
He threaded his fingers through my hair and gripped my scalp, his hips moving and fucking my mouth so effectively, I almost came right where I knelt.
“Now, baby.”
I sucked a little harder, flattening my hands on his thighs as his body locked, and he came in my mouth. I waited until his hands left my head, and then I released his cock with a gentle smack, swallowing.
His hands slid under my arms and he lifted me onto the bed, dragging me to the edge and settling my ankles on his shoulders as he slammed into me.
I was anchored so tightly to his body, I had no range of motion in my lower extremities, so I gripped the bedding and held on while he worked my body with an expertise that always left me shaking... in a good way.
“Reese!” I rasped as my climax crested.
“Don’t come,” he growled.
I clamped my walls around him and he let out a grunt.
“Fuck!”
“Not so easy, huh?” I quipped, and he grinned down at me.
“Minx.”
He released my legs and I wrapped them around his waist as he hovered over me and kissed me. His hips slowed and I pulled him closer with my legs, lifting my hips to take him deeper.
“Your pussy’s insatiable.”
I grinned, nodding. “Your fault.”
“Glad, baby.”
“Me too, sugar bear.”
His hand slid between us and he fingered my clit as he continued to bury himself inside of me. “Now, Lex.”
I wasn’t quite ready, and he seemed to guess that, so he continued to move and work my clit until I exploded around him.
I kissed him deeply and stroked his stubbled check. “If that didn’t put a baby in me, nothing will.”
Reese laughed and we got dressed and headed out to feed our other appetite.
* * *
Macey was in fact feeling well enough to join us for dinner, and our waiter set up a table for eight.
“That meclizine saved me,” Macey said, hugging me before taking her seat. “Thank you so much.”
“You’re welcome,” I said.
Macey was stunning... model stunning, with long dark-auburn hair, and she had everyone’s notice as she walked by. Watching her and Payton made me miss Paisley, which Reese must have picked up on, b
ecause he leaned over as though to kiss my cheek, whispering, “What’s wrong?” instead.
I smiled and squeezed his knee. “I’m okay. Just missing Paisley.”
He kissed my cheek then and studied me.
“I’m good,” I said. “Promise.”
“Love you, Lex.”
“Love you, too.” I kissed him gently and shook off my blues.
We were heading up the hill in the morning, so we turned in much sooner than we normally would have and I slept snuggled close to my man until it was time to wake up.
Sort of.
At some point, in what I assumed was the middle of the night, I awoke to an empty bed. I didn’t think anything of it until Reese was gone longer than he should have been.
“Reese?”
No answer, so I climbed out of bed and was just pulling on a pair of shorts when he walked back into the room. “Where have you been?”
He grinned. “Needed some extra towels.”
“It’s not that urgent, is it?” I challenged. “We could always call in the morning.”
“You’re here to be spoiled, baby.”
“I can’t argue with that.” I smiled, sliding my shorts back off. “Since you’re awake, I require some attention.”
He chuckled, removing his clothing. “I’m here to serve.”
Alexa
THE ALARM SOUNDED far too soon for my liking and then as soon as we were up and getting dressed, our breakfast arrived.
“I think you broke my vagina.” I sat at our little desk and took a bite of bacon.
Reese laughed as he poured us coffee. “Sorry not sorry.”
I grinned. “Not complaining.”
“Glad to hear it.”
“Are we meeting everyone here?”
“Yeah.” Reese checked his watch. “In about ten minutes.”
“What?” I squeaked, standing. “I’m not ready.”
“Maybe if someone had gotten up when I woke her...”
“Maybe if someone hadn’t broken my vagina,” I retorted.
Reese laughed again and smacked my bottom. “You look gorgeous.”
“I have no makeup on.”
“So?”
“So, you’re prettier than I am.”
Reese frowned. “Are you high?”
I slapped on some tinted moisturizer and blush, but found myself pushed onto the bed gently. “Take it back.”
I sighed. “Sugar bear, I need to finish.”
