  "Honey, she's napping, she's--"

  "Let her." Nick grinned. "I promise I'll take the consequences."

  Alexa laughed. "Ok, but you asked for it."

  Lily raced up the stairs and Simba followed.

  "Tell me everything."

  "Dr. Jack said he'll be fine. They got it all out, and his vital signs are strong and healthy. He needs lots of rest, which will be interesting with his buddy romping around, but I purchased one of those big orthopedic beds, and we'll just keep a close eye on him. He's going to make it, Alexa."

  Her eyes brimmed with tears and she hugged him hard. Nick buried his face in her hair, the sweet scent of strawberry drifting in his nose, the strong heat of her body pressed against his.

  "I'm sorry I've been difficult lately. Just had to sort through some stuff."

  She held him tighter, her hips cradling his, the years of lovemaking and dancing and life fitting them together with ease. "I know. I'm just glad you're back with me. I love you."

  "Love you, too."

  His mouth took hers, deep and hard and hungry. His tongue dove, took, gave back, and feasted with pure pleasure. Her moan made him want to roar like a caveman who claimed his mate. When he finally eased back, her lips trembled, and her dazed gaze met his.

  "Since Maria missed her nap, she's going to bed early tonight, right?"

  She blinked, trying to follow the conversation. "Yeah. I think. Why?"

  He grinned. "I say let's get them both down after dinner. I have some serious stuff to do with my wife. And to her."

  She smiled back. "As Maggie would say, 'Bring it.'"

  "Oh, trust me, I will."

  They laughed and turned to face the squealing girls as they came running down the stairs.

  God, he was happy. And for now, that was enough.
