Five years later….

Phillipa

I can’t believe this is only my second trip back to New Zealand. But I’m loving it. The first time was for a slew of family weddings. Cal had to bribe me with every tourist attraction in the book to get me to go to Zion’s wedding to a rather busty barmaid. Mostly because he really didn’t want to go, either. Then we learned that Zion’s bottle had turned to vinegar, the first time in the family’s history of the tradition, which made us both snort and say our goodbyes as quickly as possible.

This trip, though, is all about us. Caleb is taking me on a tour of all his houses around the world so I can pick which one to make our primary residence. I knew as soon as he brought it up, it would be between this place and California. The one downside to New Zealand is just how far away it is from all my friends. But they’ve all promised to visit, even if it means leaving kids behind. Cal and I both agreed we weren’t that interested in becoming parents. If it happens, we’ll adjust, but seeing as how Cal went and got snipped three months ago, it’s highly unlikely. He insisted on waiting five years just to make sure I was firm in my decision. Something I rolled my eyes about more than once, but I appreciate it was truly about me and not some passive-aggressive jerk move to avoid the knife. He did milk the aftercare for all it was worth, though. I read the sheet from the doctor and oral massage was nowhere on it.

Someone presses a soft kiss to the nape of my neck, making my body hum. “You ready?” he asks, all growly and delicious.

“For dinner or for you?”

A firm hand reaches under my skirt, testing the dampness of my panties. “Poor baby, how long have you been wet like that?”

“Hours.” I smirk over my shoulder at him, curious to see what he’ll do next. Cal isn’t the most predictable of husbands. He may decide to bend me over this chair right now or to make me suffer through a five-course meal with my hands above the table while he tells naughty stories designed to make me squirm.

“You’ll have to hold it in, sweetness. You’ve got company.” Cal growls into my neck, then nods towards the main door just visible from the kitchen where I’m seated. I leap off the stool in excitement, not believing my eyes. My girls are here!

Cal gives me a swift kiss, promising all kinds of things for later, then releases me to go open the door.
