Kerry grins at me. “I am now.”
She coos at Emily and our daughter giggles with delight. Kerry was made to be a mother. Since I didn’t have my own mother around, I missed out on what a good mother would look like. Kerry is not just good, she’s the best. Emily adores her.
“I booked us a room at Red Hake B&B,” I tell her as we walk out of the shop. “I figured if I’m going to spend the night ravishing you and trying to make another baby, we should do it in style overlooking Wolffish Bay.”
“Another baby already?” she teases. “You’re certain we’ll make one tonight?”
I grab a handful of her cute ass with my free hand. “I made Emily on the first shot.”
She stops to look at me, a silly smile on her gorgeous face. Since we were married not a month after I got released and moved out here, I see those smiles all the time. It’s incredible how much this woman has transformed from the scared, timid thing who was afraid to disappoint her father into this carefree, happy wife of mine. It pleases me to no end.
“You haven’t worn a condom most of the times we’ve had sex, Zane,” she sasses, her brow arching up.
“Those other times were just practice.” I wink at her.
She shakes her head as she rummages around in her purse. When she pulls out a sack from Reyes Pharmacy, I frown at her. Inside is a pregnancy test. “I don’t think you need to practice. You’re that good.”
I pull her to me for a hug, making Emily squawk between us. “You really think so?”
Kerry tilts her head up, her blue eyes shining with tears. “I don’t know for sure, but I did miss my period a few days ago. I didn’t want to take the test without you. This time, I want you to be there every step of the way, even if it turns out we’re not pregnant again.”
I capture her lips with mine. “I’ll be beside you from now until the end, beautiful.”
“You promise?”
“I promised you I’d take care of you, didn’t I? After all we’ve been through, I’m still here. You’re my wife and we run a pretty successful apparel shop together. Have I let you down yet?”
“Never,” she whispers. “You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
Emily whines in protest, making us both laugh.
“Will you settle for second best thing?” Kerry teases.
“Lose to this cutie? You bet, little momma.” I kiss Emily’s dark head and then point up Main Street to our storefront, Skalo. “Want to go see Grandpa, Emmers?”
She babbles and squirms. I’ll take that as a yes.
“Let’s get this little one dropped off to Grandpa and get checked into Red Hake B&B,” I tell Kerry as I wrap my free arm over her shoulders and inhale her floral scent. “We’ll do the pregnancy test in the morning. That way, beautiful, we can spend the entire night trying to make a baby.” I nip at her ear. “I might even put it in your ass if you’re a good girl.”
“Mr. Mullins!” she shrieks, shooting me a wide-eyed stare as her cheeks burn bright pink.
I chuckle, letting my palm slide to her ass and giving it a hard squeeze. “Maybe tonight I’ll let you be Miss B and I’ll be your naughty student.”
“You’re horrible,” she groans. “The absolute worst.”
“And you love me. What does that make you?”
“Apparently that makes me yours.”
“Damn straight.”
If you enjoyed this Taboo Treat, Miss B, you can check out Principal Renner’s story in Renner’s Rules and if you’re curious about the small, seaside Maine town of Brigs Ferry Bay mentioned at the end, make sure to read Sheriff’s Secret! You’ll get to read about Kerry’s doctor, Lance Miller, in this anthology in Misty Walker’s story called Doctor Daddy!
