He wrapped his arm around her.
When he did, Creed remembered the first time she did that, in the woods when he told her he intended to be Creed.
He felt his lips tip up slightly and curled his wife closer.
She didn’t put her feet in the water. She curved them under her. Since he’d just finished making love to her, she was wearing nothing but her panties and his tee and he remembered the last time he had that, too.
Vividly.
Years, the memory of his Sylvie finally becoming all his at the age of eighteen had been bittersweet.
Now it was just sweet.
She snaked an arm around his gut and shoved closer even as she asked, “Do you think we should get back to the hotel?”
“Kara’s got ‘em, baby,” Creed muttered and he was right. His girl would look after the kids. All of them, even Brand, were with her in their adjoining suite.
“You wanna stay,” she murmured.
Yeah, he did. He always did. Every year, when they came back and he brought his Sylvie out here in the moonlight, he wanted to stay as long as they could.
So they did.
“Yeah,” he answered softly and she snuggled closer.
His Sylvie.
Their spot.
Their lake.
Their pier.
No more bitter, just sweet.
Yeah, his Sylvie, weaving dreams.
He drew in a deep breath and felt every millisecond of its release as he stared at the water, holding his woman pressed close.
He did this a while.
Then he was done doing it and he turned into her. She knew his intent and she tipped her head back to prepare.
Creed took her mouth.
Then he moved her to the blanket he spread on the pier.
There, again, he made love to her.
And when he did, Tucker Creed finally gave Sylvie Creed everything she wanted.
Because when they made love in the moonlight on their pier, he planted inside his wife, his Sylvie, baby number four.
Thus proving, yet again, Tucker Creed could also weave dreams.
