Sunset Hearts (32 page)

“Look.”

He smiled, then kissed the top of her head. “Our sunset hearts. They’re welcoming you home.”

“We can watch them every night,” Alan said as he stroked her arm. The sky turned purple as the sun finally sank below the horizon. “Sunsets every night, followed by happy finish sunrises.”

Jerald and Daphne burst out laughing. Alan shrugged. “Well, I’m not as eloquent as you two. So shoot me.”

“I’d rather fuck you than shoot you,” Jerald quipped.

“Me too,” she said with a snicker.

Alan stood and stripped off his shirt. “Fine. Then come molest me.” He walked through the sliding glass doors leading to their master bedroom.

Jerald smiled at her and waggled his eyebrows. “I can’t turn down an invitation that good.”

“Neither can I.”

“Then let’s not keep him waiting.” He stood and hauled her to her feet. Before he released her, he placed one last, deep kiss on her lips. “I’ve spent so many nights watching the sun go down and thinking about that evening we sat here in the truck,” he admitted. He glanced over her shoulder at the darkening horizon. “I couldn’t help it. It left me feeling sad, but I thought maybe you were watching it too, somewhere. Maybe you were seeing what I was seeing, and maybe it was a way to be with you.”

“No more sad sunset hearts,” she swore. “Never again.”

“Get your asses in here and fuck me!” Alan yelled from the bedroom.

Jerald smiled. “I think he’s serious.”

“Then let’s go.”

She squealed with laughter as he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder, then carried her to their bedroom.
