Playing with fire

Life Complete

I slept better than I had in month, and I know it's because I had the love of my life next to me. I peeled myself put of his death grip so I could go pee on and cook some breakfast, because I damn sure worked up an appetite.  I qas dancing around the kitchen mixing up pancake batter in one of his old Georgia tshirts I swiped from his bag when he plucked my earbud from my ear and stuck it in his ear, cocked a half smile and said, "I didn't take you for a Slipknot fan."

"Well, if you must know, it gets me up and going and through workouts when I'm not feeling it, and I'm exhausted, someone gave me quite the workout last night" I replied winking at him.  I felt his arms snake around my waist from behind and immediately I felt a wsrmth go straight to my core as he nipped at my neck.  "B, I'm never gonna finish breakfast if you keep that up" I pouted turning around to face him. "Fine, woman.  I'm gonna go take a cold shower since someone won't help me out with this hard problem I have" he retorted as he swatted me on my butt.  The evidence of his erection was clearly visible through his sweat pants.

Breakfast was done within minutes and I was sitting everything out on the table when he walked out from the shower wearing black jeans and a gray Grunt Style shirt and that damn backwards hat, seeing him in the morning was something I could gwt used to.  He sat down and immediately inhaled his pancakes.  "These are amazing, don't fell Mama but better than hers!" He said, syrup and powdered sugar stuck in his beard I couldn't help but laugh. "What? I'm serious!" He replied.  "No, babe you have food in your beard" I said as I took a napkin and wiped it off.  Such a simple gesture that made me think of Daddy. 

A phone beeping brought me out of my trance.  "It's Kolby, he said they are on their way back here.  I was thinking we could take a ride when they get back if you're up to it.  Go shower, I'll clean up" he said. I nodded and went and showered, pulled my favorite jeans out that hugged my curves, a long sleeve Harley shirt out that showed the girls off. 

I was drying my hair when my bathroom door flew open and a flustered Sara stood in the doorway looking like she hadn't slept all night. "Oh. My. God woman, why didn't you tell me?"  She exclaimed as she flopped down on the toilet.  "Tell you what?" I knew where this was going.  It was Sara, and not unlike her to not sleep with a hot guy on the first night. "That he is hung, a sex God, and is amazing!" I couldn't help but laugh so hard I about peed myself. "Maybe because I didn't know!  I'm with the hot brother not the younger little brother!" "Oh he rallys Brantley in the hot department.  But oh my God I hurt so bad, and he wants to go for a ride today! He rode me all night, now he expects me to sit on his Harley!"  She explained. 

A voice clearing in the background caused her to shut up quick, it was Brantley "I am gonna pretend I didn't hear that, but you ready babe?"  I kissed him and nodded.

"Just don't break his heart Sara, I've never seen him like this before" she nodded, "B, I'm worried he's gonna break mine" she replied quietly.  And I could see it, she had fallen quick, but was still guarded. There was something about those Gilbert men that drew you in and wouldn't let you go. 

We took off out of Lexington down the Bluegrass Parkway toward Bardstown, road the backroads around the Burbon Trail, stopped for a late lunch at the Stephen Foster restaurant.  On the ride back the sun started setting and I squeezed him tighter and laid my head on his back.  It was like Daddy was with me, telling me everything would be all right and this was the man I was meant for.  We pulled off to get gas and Kolby said he was taking Sara on home since she had to work the next day and he'd see us later, so we drove out by one of the stables and parked. 

He took the helmet off my head and kissed my forehead and looked deep into my eyes. He had a strange look on his face. "You ok, B?" I asked. "More than ok, I'm just trying to figure out if you're ok" he replied pulling me in for a hug. I looked up at him "I love you so damn much." His lips crashed into mine, he kissed me with so much passion, all tongue and teeth like I was his oxygen. Breathless we broke the kiss at the same time.  "Marry me" he said looking into my eyes "please Raegan marry me, I can't live without you.  When we aren't together I'm lost, you changed me from that first night on the bus, and I never want to spend another day without you in my life."

This wasn't what I was expecting, but it felt right.  He was my home, wherever he was I was at home. "Yes, I'll marry you!" I exclaimed excitedly.  He picked me up and whirled me around. "Looks like we got ring shopping to do."
