She smiled against his lips. “Sounds like a plan. I’m especially fond of the part about loving each other like crazy.”
“Yeah, I like that part, too.”
He cupped the back of her head and was settling in for a long, deep kiss, when she groaned, “We’ve got company.”
Hunter and Grant, still in pajamas, were racing toward them, their bare feet thudding on the boardwalk.
Amelia yelled at them to be careful of splinters but the caution didn’t slow them down. Gleefully shouting his name, they ran pell-mell toward them.
She gave him a dubious smile. “Are you sure you want to take them on?”
“That’s one decision already made.”
He wrapped his arms around her waist, so that when the boys tackled him into the sand, she went with him.
