“Jim, Uncle Billy and Aun
t Margie wanted to know if you would like to spend the night with them tonight.”
Jim let out a small scream and said, “Oh, pwease, Mama. Pwease can I go over and play?”
Garrett and I both laughed.
I said, “Of course you can. I packed you a bag and put your favorite toys in there. Mommy and Daddy will be over first thing in the morning to pick you up.”
Jim ran over and grabbed his bag. He started heading to the door.
Garrett bent down and stopped him. “Hey, where do you think you’re going?”
Jim looked at him with a serious face. “To Uncle Billy’s to play, Daddy.”
There was a knock on the door, and Billy came walking in. Jim ran up to him. Billy quickly dropped down and took Jim into his arms.
He looked at Garrett and then at me as he smiled. “Well, I’m going to safely say the little guy wants to play.”
I was sitting on the sofa, feeding Jack, as I nodded my head. “Just a little.”
Garrett clapped his hands. “Well, not to rush you out the door, brother, but…”
Billy laughed and scooped up Jim as he grabbed the bag. “Well, hell, if that isn’t a hint, I don’t know what is.”
Garrett slapped Billy on the back. “Make plans to take your wife somewhere romantic in a few weeks. Between us and Mom and Dad, we’ve got you covered. Y’all deserve it.”
Billy stopped and looked at Garrett. “Oh, man, that would be awesome. If you’re serious, I know Margie has been talking about going to the coast. I’d love to take her there, just us two.”
Garrett nodded his head. “Consider it done. Make the plans, and I’ll talk to Mom tomorrow. I’m sure Lily would love to spend some time with the kids.”
Billy thanked Garrett again and headed out with Jim.
“Thanks again, bro!” Garrett called out.
When he turned around and shut the door, I saw the look in his eyes. He walked up and peered down at me.
I swallowed hard and stood up, holding a sleeping Jack. “I think he’s out.”
“Oh, he is out. He’s my son, and he knows when Daddy needs alone time with Mommy.”
I giggled as I walked into our room and placed Jack into his bassinet. I no sooner turned around before Garrett was picking me up and taking me over to the bed.
In no time at all, I was softly calling out my husband’s name as he took me to heaven and back.
After returning the favor and making Garrett orgasm, we both took a quick shower where Garrett snuck in another orgasm for me.
Later, we wrapped ourselves up in our quilt and sat on the front porch. We hadn’t had any alone time in so long that it was amazing to just sit and be with each other.
As I looked out toward the west pasture, I couldn’t help but smile.
Garrett pulled me closer to him and said, “What is that smile for?”
I shrugged. “I’m not sure. I just see so many wonderful things happening on this ranch in the future.”
He nodded his head. “I hope so. I really hope so.”
I slowly turned and looked at him. “Thank you for my letter.”
