Sneak Peek
Chapter Two
Jack Henry McLachlan
I
once thought I didn’t want a wife and kids but it was because I hadn’t met the
right person. Everything is different now—I’m married to the perfect woman and
I can’t wait until she becomes the mother of my children.
I’m
glad L asked me why I was anxious to begin our family. I’m not sure I would’ve
ever been brave enough to volunteer that information. Fear. It’s not something
a man likes to admit but that’s the beauty of my relationship with L. I can
tell her anything.
She
turns in my arms and kisses me between words. “You. Are. Amazing.”
“I’m
glad you think so since it seems you’re stuck with me for the rest of our
lives.”
“Happily
stuck by choice. There’s a difference.”
I
watch the sun dance on her face as the palm trees above move in the breeze. A
shorter strand of hair at her temple has escaped her grasp and I tuck it behind
her ear. “Are you truly happy?”
“It
isn’t possible for me to be happier than I am in this moment.”
I
grasp her face and look into her golden-brown eyes. I see her sincerity and
know her words are true. She didn’t marry me for any reason other than her love
for me, so Laurelyn Paige Prescott McLachlan is a woman to be treasured. “Nor
could I.”
I
lean down to scoop her from the ground and she squeals. “I think it’s time I
carried my bride across the threshold. I want you to see the rest of the
house.”
I
turn the knob and gently push the door open with my foot. L is like a wide-eyed
child. I return her to her feet and her head oscillates slowly as she takes it
all in.
The
floor plan is open so she’s able to see the living room along with the kitchen
and dining room. She says nothing and I can’t tell if she likes it or not.
“What are you thinking?”
“How
much I love you,” she says, propelling herself into my arms for a kiss. “You
take care of me,” she says against my mouth. “No one’s ever done that before.”
