“Actually for the last few years I’d been trying to get up my nerve to ask you for the cabin. I love it and I don’t need or want a big house anymore.”
“I’m excited. I have a few ideas of changes, mostly room colors and such.” Lily smiled at her in-laws. Ty looked at her puzzled.
“You do?” Ty asked.
“Just say, ‘Yes, dear.’” His father grinned. “It saves a whole lot of misunderstandings.”
Mrs. Terrell patted her husband’s hand and looked at Ty. “He’s right, son.”
Carter Brent Terrell arrived at 6:00 a.m. All the family crowded around Angie’s bed. She held her baby son and beamed.
Brent took the baby from her and kissed his forehead. “We named him after your father, Mom.”
“I noticed. He’d be pleased.”
“Let Lily hold him, Brent,” Angie directed.
“Sure. Here, Lily.” Carefully he put the small bundle in her arms. Lily’s heart beat fast in her chest. Her nephew. She smiled at Angie and without saying a word they connected. They were a family, and it was growing.
Chapter Fifteen
Dirk Brodie thought he saw a movement near the east fence. He rode closer. None of his hired hands were working this section today. He saw a slight figure in a dark coat manage to climb over the fence. Whoever it was almost made it, but the coat got hung up on the barbwire. He got off his horse and walked through the snow toward the stranger trying to unfasten the wire from the coat.
“Need some help?”
When the woman turned, her hood fell back, revealing bright red hair. “Chelsea?” He knew only one woman who had hair that color, but what would the stubborn, independent, tough-as-nails war reporter be doing sneaking onto their ranch?
She looked at him with a slightly belligerent expression. “Dirk. I didn’t expect to see you.”
“Who were you expecting? This is private land.” He reached up and unhooked her jacket from the barbwire.
“I know. Owned by the Terrell Ranch and Conglomerate. I heard Lily Yannell is staying here. I want to talk with her.”
“Why not come to the front door like normal people? Or have you lived on the outskirts of civilization so long you’ve forgotten your manners?” He raised an eyebrow at her.
“No, but I know they’ve been turning reporters away. I wanted to have a chance to talk with her before the door was shut in my face.”
Dirk leaned against a nearby tree. “What in the world could a hard-ass war reporter find of interest in talking with a sweet, normal lady?”
He watched her face flush and his cock came awake. She’d always had that effect on him. They’d had an instant attraction when they first met. Time, distance, and the desire for two different goals had separated them shortly after they had a brief affair. She stared at him with those dark green eyes that reminded him of ocean water at dusk.
“I’m not a reporter anymore.” Her low, husky voice sent heat flowing through his veins.
“Did the world come to an end?” A reluctant smile curved those lush, red lips, and his dick began to harden.
“My mother asked me to come home.”
“And you just up and quit?” His astonishment and doubt were clear in his voice.
“She’s sick. She wanted me closer. She and my dad still live on the ranch where I was raised in Wyoming.”
Now his mouth almost dropped open. “You never said you were a country girl.”
“It’s not something I advertised in the war zone where I worked. And we didn’t talk much, if I remember right.”
She gave him that sensuous look that was guaranteed to send all his blood from his brain to his cock. But not today. She wasn’t going to seduce him into letting her come any further.
“You need to leave. Lily Yannell is no longer here.”
“I have it on good authority she is. I’ll leave for now, but I’ll be back after I check with my resources. Are you going to let me ride with you back to the road?”
“No. You got in. Get out the same way.” He felt her angry stare as he walked to his horse and rode off. He circled back and watched as she took off her jacket, threw it across the wire on the fence, and vaulted across to the other side. He’d never doubted her ingenuity. And he had no doubt where they’d have ended if he took her on his horse. Back at his cabin, naked and making love. He didn’t want to open that door again, even if his cock was hard as a rock and protesting his decision.
Ty and Lily had arrived home a few hours ago. Hopefully, the inquisitive Chelsea wouldn’t find out the new Mrs. Terrell was Lily Yannell.
* * * *
Lily watched as Ty got the fire going in the family room. She’d changed and wore his large, warm robe with nothing underneath. Ty was in for a surprise. She pulled the heavy curtains shut.
“There.” He brushed his hands. “The fire is putting out heat already.” He started to turn toward her. “Do you want to pop—” He stared at Lily’s naked body glowing in the firelight.
She walked close and began to unbutton his shirt. “I’d like popcorn later.” She purred the words into his face. “I have other plans first.”
“I see you do.”
His shirt was pushed down his arms and off. She ran her hands across his chest and tight six-pack, then nuzzled her nose into his soft chest hairs. Her tongue licked across his nipples. Glancing up, she smiled at the hungry look in his eyes. Lily put her arms around his neck and let her whole body lean against his muscled frame.
“Have I told you how sexy you make me feel?” She rubbed her bare breasts against his chest. Her teeth nipped at his strong jaw. “But you still have on too many clothes.” She slid down to his waistline and undid his buckle and snap and then pushed his pants down around his boots.
“Let me help you.” Ty sat on the rug and yanked off his boots and the rest of his clothing. He pulled her down on top of him. “Now you can take up where you left off.”
“I hardly know where to start. It all looks so appealing.”
Ty flipped her under him. “I have no problem knowing exactly what I want. Dessert.” He spread her legs and ran his tongue across her sensitive clit. When he spread her folds and licked them, Lily moaned.
He put two fingers in her pussy and moved them in and out while his tongue and teeth teased her clit.
“I want you to fill me.”
Ignoring her request, Ty kissed along the inner side of her thigh, and then moved upward taking her rosy, swollen nipple into his mouth. His tongue moved around the nipple before he sucked on her breast. “Ambrosia,” he whispered.
His fingers continued to rub across her clit, sending fire crackling along her nerve endings. Her desire had her heart beating fast and her hunger for Ty spiking.
Lily reached down and clamped her hand around his wide cock. She rubbed her fingers across the crown. “Go in me,” she demanded as her pussy clenched and unclenched with the need to feel him buried deep inside.
He gave her his heart-stopping grin. “If you insist.”
She let go of his cock and he moved himself into position.
“You are sure this is what you want?” he teased her.
“Yes!”
“You asked for it, darlin’.” He slid in all the way in one long stroke. Her pussy clamped tight around him.
“I certainly did,” she said as she began to move her hips to meet his driving cock going in and out. A quiver began deep inside her and spread in ripples from the center. As she rose up to meet his last deep plunge, Ty sucked on her nipple sending her sliding down into soft pleasure. She heard his groan as he followed.
They lay intertwined and watched the leaping flames of the fire. Lily raised her head and looked at him.
“Do you think we’ll still be doing this in front of the fire on the rug after the children are grown and moved out?”
“Absolutely. I’ll chase you around the house and carry you in here.”
“Good, but let’s do it one more time. Once we have little one
s running around we’ll be lucky to have privacy in our own bedroom.”
“Oh, we will. I’ll lock the door. But I agree we should do this at least one more time.” He proceeded to kiss every inch of her body.
Epilogue
Ty held her hand as she pushed one more time. Sweat covered her dear, sweet face as she struggled to birth their child.
“One more push,” the doctor said, “and this baby will be born.”
“That’s what he said the last time,” Lily whispered to Ty as she bore down once more.
“There she is.” The doctor stood and handed the newborn to the nurse. “Show the parents their new daughter.”
“A girl.” Ty looked in wonderment at the bundle the nurse placed in Lily’s arms. They’d chosen not to know the sex of their child until he or she was born. Now, Ty looked at the rosebud mouth and the thatch of light blonde hair covering her head. “She’s going to look just like you, Lily.” He leaned down and kissed Lily on the lips, and then his daughter on her forehead. Her blue eyes looked at him and his heart tightened with joy. The baby stared at him for a long moment before closing her eyes.
“I think she likes her daddy and is going to have him wrapped around her finger.”
“Why shouldn’t she? Her momma already has me in that position.” He grinned at his wife and daughter. “I’m going out to give the family the good news.”
When he opened the door to the waiting room, they all clustered around him. “Lily’s fine, and so is our daughter.”
The cheers and hugs filled his heart. He’d come a long way. He’d been lucky to win Lily’s heart. He’d found the perfect wife for him.
Later, standing by Lily’s bed after the family had left, he held his daughter in his arms. Lily smiled at him. “Isn’t she wonderful?”
“Just like her mother.” He placed the infant in Lily’s arms. “Angie seems pleased we’re naming our baby Diana.”
“She is. You like the name, don’t you?”
Ty kissed her. “Diana and Lily, my two girls. And I can’t wait to get you both home.”
“You may change your mind after getting up a few nights.”
“Never.” He had been used to long, lonely nights before Lily came into his life. Now his heart was full of happiness and love. Lily had filled the dark parts of him with sunshine.
He smiled at her and saw in her eyes she guessed what he was thinking. Reaching out with her free hand, she took his, linking the three of them together.
