Booker’s Want

A Templet’s Tasty Tails Excerpt

Scene: Erika has rescued Booker from a perilous situation. Now, they recuperate and discuss the thrilling future of their unexpected romance.

 

Erika shut down her laptop and fished Brice’s bottle out of the baby bag before accepting Booker’s invitation. When she reached his room, he and Brice sat in bed. She marveled at how Brice favored his father more every day. They looked toward the door at the same time. Then, both graced her with the same charming smile, although her baby’s was toothless. Smitten, she glided over and climbed in, too.

“I could get used to this,” Booker confessed.

“It is nice, isn’t it?” On one knee, Erika stretched to kiss Brice. Booker, elongating his body, groaned and begged for one, too. She cupped his chin to kiss him.

“We have reached a verdict in this love affair, have we not?” Booker relented to pain and lay on his pillow.

“We have.”

“You love me.” His statement was conclusive.

“And you love me.” She propped the other king-sized pillow behind her back and looked at him. “I know because I see love in your eyes, hear it in your voice, smell it on your skin, taste it in your kiss, and definitely feel it in your touch.”

“Where do we go from here?”

Erika thought for a second. “We go from each being a single parent to a devoted couple raising a child.” She smirked and crossed her legs at the ankles.

“A devoted couple as in…” Booker left the rest open to interpretation.
“Really being the significant other in a loving relationship.”

Erika snagged Brice’s leg as he inched to the edge of the bed. She flipped him to his back, enticing him to be still with his bottle. He showed his dexterity by holding the bottle himself. For added flair, he cocked his legs in the air.

 

Brice from Templet's Tasty Tails

Booker laughed his head off. “One of the small things I miss with my part-time status.”

The wistful tone in his voice could not be overlooked. Erika studied him. He scooted within touching distance of her. Next, Booker teased the side of her thigh with his pointer.

“I want to be a full-time father.”

 

Will Erika grant Booker’s wish?
