“Why is that?” he asked, tensing as he searched her expression. “Is something wrong?”
“I would say something is very right.”
He waited, not understanding what would make her tired but be right. “Charlotte?”
“Philip is going to be an excellent brother, don’t you think?” Her beautiful eyes held on his and glittered with emotion. “Much like Edward is to me.”
“We’re going to have another baby?” he asked, joy catching his breath.
“Yes, we are. Just when I was beginning to give up hope of a second child. Two years is a long time to wait.”
James chuckled, tightening his embrace. “You say that now, but wait until we have two little ones running about in the nursery.”
“I cannot wait as I believe we are more than ready for the challenge.” She kissed him long and deep. “I love you, James. More than words can possibly express.”
“And I love you twice as much.” He drew a deep breath at the idea of becoming a father for the second time. “You are a gift beyond measure as are our children.” He lowered his hand to cradle her still flat stomach. “I cannot wait to meet the next addition to the family. When shall we tell Philip?”
“We’ll wait until the morning, else he’ll never sleep for the nanny.”
“What a clever mother you are, always knowing what’s best.” He kissed her again, his tongue dancing with hers. Would he ever become accustomed to the passion he felt for her?
“I cannot wait for our next adventure,” Charlotte whispered when she eased back from the kiss.
“Only you would consider motherhood an adventure,” he teased.
“Life with you is an adventure, my handsome rogue. To think it all started with a dare.”
“As all good adventures do,” he murmured and kissed her again.
