Renegade Love (Rancheros) (38 page)

“I have only realized it myself and I wanted to make sure before I said anything to you.”

“You’re sure now?”

“Very sure,” she said with a wide grin, which faded quickly. “That doesn’t mean you have to treat me like I’m fragile.”

“But you’re with child. It won’t be proper to make love until the babe is born.”

“What?” she said her eyes turning wide. “You can’t mean that. All those months without you touching me,” —she shook her head—“no, impossible I can’t do that. I cannot live without your touch, without making love with you—” She stopped as soon as she caught the smirk in his eyes and slapped his arm. “That was mean.”

He scooped her up in his arms. “Not as mean as telling me you barely feel anything when I’m inside of you.”

She cringed, though with a smile. “I didn’t know how else to get you to stop treating me as if I’d break each time you touched me.” She chuckled. “Besides, this way worked faster.”

He stopped just outside their bedroom door. “I’m going to make love to you and believe me you’re going to feel it. Then we’re going to gather the basket I’ve had Dolores fill and go to the pond, which had been my intention, and spend the rest of the afternoon there, eating and making love again, and then—”

“We’ll return home and fall in bed exhausted, though make love again.” She laughed.

“And fall asleep in each other’s arms as we will do every night even when we are old and gray.”

He kissed her with such passion that she sighed with the pleasure of what was to come and, with his wife pressed snugly against him, he walked into the bedroom and kicked the door closed.
