Chapter 61

Once outside in the sunshine, he pulled her closely against his side as they strolled down the sidewalk toward the beach. As it wasn't quite dinnertime, they took their time, window shopping in various little stores. Summer kept pointing out things he'd need to set up housekeeping, and Matt kept grunting. Apparently buying furniture had exhausted his interest in shopping.The sidewalk ended at a small playground right in front of the sandy ocean beach. They stood together for a while, watching half a dozen children playing on the swings and slide. Matt squeezed Summer's hand."You know, we never once talked about kids," he murmured in her ear. "Well, maybe back in high school. But never as adults.""That's because I thought you were a dream," she reminded him. "Didn't seem pertinent. Whenever we were together, we had better things to do than talk.""True." His heartbeat quickened audibly.She was sure hers did too, thinking about the dreams."So, do you want a big family?" His vo

Chapter 62

Matt sat on his lumpy hotel room bed and tried to pay attention to the television.His meeting today with Summer hadn't gone as well has he'd hoped, but it had gone better than he had any right to expect. She hadn't told him to take a flying hike, but he was still stuck here while she was in her lonely bed, miles away. At least now she knew he was real. What was it going to take to convince her he was serious about her, about them? He'd spent his whole life falling in love with Summer. He didn't want to wait months or even years for her to fall in love with him.He'd done more walking than usual today, and his hip ached. Since he was trying to keep his use of pain pills to the bare minimum, he went down to the hotel's pool area and lounged in the hot tub for a while, letting the heated jets relax the stiffened muscles. A small spa was definitely something to consider for his backyard. He figured it could be added unobtrusively, without significant damage to the landscaping. That thou

Chapter 63

Saturday morning, Matt had mixed feelings about loading his luggage into his truck and checking out of the hotel, but he reminded himself that if Summer threw him out, he could find another place to stay until Monday.As he loaded his briefcase, he picked up a small velvet box and flipped it open. The round diamond solitaire in a gold flower setting winked up at him. He'd bought it in Switzerland a year ago, when he'd been on leave from a posting in Germany. The moment he'd seen it, something about it had just said, "Summer". He'd been carrying it around like a talisman ever since.Wishing himself luck, he stashed it at the bottom of his laptop bag.On the way out to her rental house, he picked up several boxes of condoms, a six-pack of his favorite beer, a big bunch of bright gerbera daisies, and the chicken he'd promised her for lunch. He even bought her coleslaw, along with a green salad for him.Trying not to look too anxious, he drove slowly, not pulling into her driveway unti

Chapter 64

It was time to bite the bullet. Summer dragged in a deep breath. "In my room. It's kind of designed for kids, but with three of the others married now, I got last pick." Except for poor Sam, who would be stuck up in the overhead loft on a sleeping bag. At least her room had a full-sized bed, even if it also had a pink canopy and a shelf full of kids' books and toys. If the family grew any larger, they'd have to start renting two houses for their summer vacations."You sure?" His voice dropped to a husky rumble, and all thoughts of canopies and children's books disappeared from Summer's mind.She looked up at him and smiled. Who did she think she was fooling? She'd known from the moment he appeared on her beach that they'd end up in the same bed sooner rather than later. "I'm sure. It's the one at the far end of the hallway."Suitcase in hand, he motioned for her to lead the way. Once inside the tiny bedroom, he laughed. "You weren't kidding, were you? I'm going to hang over three, i

Chapter 65

Unable to resist, Summer stepped forward and reached for Matt's cock. Odd that she knew exactly how he liked to be touched. She wrapped her hand around the thick length of his shaft and sighed at the feel of soft skin over steely flesh. A small bead of pre-cum gathered at the tip, and she swooped it up with one fingertip, bringing it to her lips."You know I'm clean," he growled softly. "After a month in the hospital, that's one thing I'm sure of.""I wasn't worried." She should have thought to ask. She'd always been so careful before, but this was Matt. With the tip of her tongue, she tasted the bitter, salty drop, closed her eyes and sighed happily. After a moment of savoring she remembered to tell him, "I'm healthy too. There hasn't been anyone since long past my last annual physical.""I'm not going to be able to go slow, sugar," he drawled, stepping toward the bed. "I want to savor you, but, Jesus, darlin', I've been waiting for this my whole fucking life.""Who said I want sl

Chapter 66

When they both ran out of breath, Matt reluctantly pulled out of Summer's snug, wet heat and all but collapsed on his side next to her.She rolled to face him, face glistening with sweat, her eyes gleaming and a smug smile on her face. Reaching up with one shaky hand, he smoothed a strand of hair off her cheek."Wow." She blinked and dragged in a lungful of air. "I always thought the dreams exaggerated reality.""Me too." There was a box of tissues on the nightstand and a trash can beside it so he rolled over and dealt with the condom before turning back to her. "I guess we both learned something new.""Now it's my turn to explore," she said with a wicked grin. She rolled on top of him, forcing Matt to his back.He went without a fight, content to let her have her turn."You're leaner than you were a year ago but still in good shape. Did you lose some weight in the hospital?""A little." Damn, she was observant."And all these new scars." She knelt above him, kissing each and e

Chapter 67

Matt stretched "I don't suppose this place has a hot tub.""Nope." Summer yawned against his chest. "That's one thing I love about my condo. Has a gorgeous pool and spa area.""I'm thinking of adding a hot tub in my yard," he said. "My hip loves the idea. There's already a nice pool.""I'm still shocked that you bought a house right away," she mused, running her fingers through the sparse hair on his chest. "I might have asked you to stay with me in my place.""I wanted a home." He smiled at her words though. "I hope you like it too. Maybe you'll... Well, it's big enough for two. Maybe even a family someday.""Wait." Summer sat up in bed and glared at him. "You're saying you bought a house, hoping I'd come live in it with you, and you didn't even check with me first? You didn't ask if I was interested in moving. You didn't ask if I'd like the place. You just bulldozed ahead and picked the house all on your own? Before we'd even met face-to-face?""Well, I couldn't exactly ask you

Chapter 68

"Can I take you out to dinner then? I think maybe we should slow things down, spend some time together doing the so-called normal things." He clenched the table in both hands as he waited for her answer, and she'd bet he didn't even know he was doing it. The fact that she had the power to make him nervous made her want to forgive him all the more."I know a great barbecue place not too far away," she offered. "We wouldn't have to dress up or anything. Just throw on some flip-flops and go.""You're asking a Texan to go to a barbecue place in South Carolina?" The teasing glint was back in his eyes and her heart lifted."Boy, you haven't tasted real barbecue until you've had Charleston barbecue." She stood and shook out her mostly dry hair. "Come on. Tonight you can drive and I'll buy dinner." She hoped he recognized an olive branch when he saw one. And a test. Could he stand to let her buy dinner?"Yes ma'am." He drained his glass and stood. "Anything you want."Well, at least he's

Chapter 69

All that ran through Matt's mind as he locked the door behind him, grabbed the box of condoms and followed Summer through to the master bedroom was, Thank you, thank you, thank you! She'd given him another chance. He wasn't stupid enough to waste it.Inside the bedroom, Summer waited beside the bed, which was still rumpled from earlier. She'd already kicked off her flip-flops and had her hands on the waistband of her jeans."Hold it right there," he said. "I'd like to undress you this time - if you don't mind, that is.""Not at all." She licked her lips, and his cock pulsed against the fly of his jeans.He kicked off his own sandals and walked toward her. "Am I still allowed to tell you what to do in the bedroom?" It was a serious question. He'd always been the dominant one in their sexual encounters - well, almost always.She dipped her head. "I'd like that. But just in the bedroom. That's the only part of my life where I'm at all submissive. Can you deal with that?""I get it.

Chapter 70

Matt picked up one of the strips of toweling and knotted it to the foot rail of the bed. "No safe words, no games. Just say no or ask me to stop at any time, and I will, no questions asked. Okay?""Perfect." Summer looked up at him, her eyes wide, her smile trusting. Lifting her foot for him to secure it, she stayed otherwise utterly still.He looked up at the wetness coating her pussy and could practically taste her on his tongue. It didn't take him long to tie the other foot, spreading her open for him."Hurry," she murmured. He could tell she was struggling to keep her hips from wriggling. "I want you, Matt.""I want you too, darlin'. But part of this game is that you only talk if I ask you a question. Got it?""Yes, Matt." She licked her lips and watched him tie her right hand to the headboard.Finally, when he had the left secured, he stood next to the nightstand, stripped off his jeans and rolled a condom onto his aching cock. He looked down at Summer, who eyed his erection
