Epilogue
Walt went back to work a few weeks ago and so far we are working it out. I have dinner ready and when he walks through the door, the sun bounces off of his back and highlights his hair allowing his natural blonde streaks to shine through. He's so handsome I think as he beams in the light.
He walks into the kitchen and slides his arms around my waist and kisses my neck, and my ear, and I hear him groan but I don't think it's on purpose it's more like he's going to combust.
"How's Linc?"
"He's good. He's taking a nap."
His hands move up my ribs, "I don't want to wake him. I'll say hi in a bit." His lips feather my neck again.
"You feel good."
His hands gently move to my breasts, "You're still tender?"
"It's just right."
"I think I've figured it out."
"What's that?"
"We can work twelve hour shifts two weeks in a row and have two weeks off in a row. That gives us 164 hours and it means we can be with Linc full-time for half the month. We can do opposite shifts or opposite weeks either way we will be together."
I turn around in his arms facing him, my hands land on his chest in the openness of his shirt, that magical third button that he never fastens.
"This way you still earn your pension and I'm not stuck."
"It's more than that, babe. You're the best choice for the next Sheriff and I don't want to hold you back. I want you to be happy at home with us but I want you to reach to your potential it's your career not mine that we need to concentrate on at this point."
"Are you sure this is what you want?"
"You're the one that told me that I was the Sheriff and that I make the rules."
I did say that and I kiss him because I can't resist him and it's heated and feverish like we are making up for lost time.
"I think we better stop." He murmurs.
I can feel my face contort into a giant question mark.
"I'm ready." I say softly into his neck.
"I don't want to hurt you" He says back.
"My last check-up was good and Doc said we could have sex after six-weeks. It's past six-weeks."
"You're not even doing your whole workout because of your abs, I can wait. I'm not going anywhere."
I reach down and my hand trails along the very obvious evidence that he is into it, "It's a shame we can't use this."
"Who says we can't?"
No one and we do.
This concludes the "Quadrilogy." I wanted to wrap it up so we can see that they are on track even with some very serious issues. I hope you enjoyed it! For those that suggested this even happen, thank you. Again, thanks for all the views, and reviews. All of you are friggin' awesome.
