“I think we got ourselves a little racer there.”
He chuckles. “I think so too. I have the same feeling I had with Maximus when he was born.”
I kiss his cheek. “And who better to train him than you.”
Colby beams with pride as he gazes at the little foal. He takes my hand and leads me out of the stables. “You done with everything in the office?”
I nod. “Yep. It’s all taken care of. Now I don’t have to worry about anything until we get back from our honeymoon.” My father wanted me back at Armstrong Acres, but I knew where I needed to be. Hensley Stables is where I belong. And next week, I’ll be marrying one of the owners.
We walk hand in hand toward the wooden fence and out into the field where Maximus runs free. There’s a lone tree out in the middle of the field that has turned into mine and Colby’s special spot. It’s where he proposed to me. It was sweet. Just a simple picnic, followed by a kiss and the big question as he showed me the diamond ring. It’s a day I’ll never forget.
When we get to the tree, Colby sits down and leans against it as I lay between his legs. His arms wrap around me and I breathe him in. “Just think. Next week I’ll be Brielle Hensley.” The wedding is going to be at the Lucky Seven Ranch with only our closest friends and family in attendance. My father will be walking me down the aisle and William is going to be my Man of Honor, who also designed my wedding dress. Afterwards, Colby and I leave for our honeymoon to the Maldives. It’s been one of my dreams to go there.
I look up at Colby and he smiles. “And I’ll be the happiest man in the world.”
“Have all your dreams come true?” I ask.
He shrugs. “Almost. I’m still waiting on the main one to happen.”
“Oh yeah?”
His hand brushes down my cheek and he kisses me. “You still haven’t said I do yet. I have to wait a week for that.”
This makes me smile. “You already know I’m dying to say them.”
He nods. “I know. What about you and your dreams? Is there something else you desire?”
Biting my lip, I nod. He knows what I want, and he wants it too. We’ve talked about having a baby several times over the past couple of months. Turning in his arms, I straddle his waist and smile. He chuckles and grips my hips in his strong grasp. “Don’t worry, I’ll give you what you want. And trust me, I’ll have fun doing it too.”
I roll my hips against his. “So, will I. How about we have a little practice round? There’s no one around.”
Colby groans and picks me up in his arms. “You’re too much,” he says, laying me down in the grass. He covers me with his body and brushes the hair off my face, his eyes searching mine. “Think you’ll be happy with me?”
I cup his face in my hands. “I know I will.”
He leans into my touch. “I’ve waited a long time to feel this happy. There’s no way I’m letting you go.”
Tears fill my eyes. “Good, because you’re stuck with me.”
His lips caress mine. “You’re damn right.”
