remember me but when you
jumped into my arms at your graduation I knew you’d been hoping to
see me again too.”
    “I was. I missed you so much that year.”
Josie looked up at him. “You still see me as your girl?”
    “Yes.” He smiled. “You will always be my
girl.” Tears filled her eyes and she dropped her head against his
chest. “I love you Jo more than you will ever realize.” A tear
rolled down the bridge of her nose and he wiped it away softly.
“You drive me fucking crazy. You annoy me sometimes, you spend too
much money, you’re a real smart ass, and you’re so sexy no matter
how much you gain when I knock you up real good.” She giggled
holding him a little tighter. “And there’s something about you
that’s just different. You make me want the world with you. I want
more kids and I want to grow old with you. You’re everything to me.
I knew the night I met you I’d never let you go.” She bit her lip
raising her head.
    “I love you so much.” She whispered. She
kissed him softly.
    “I know.” Grayson smiled at her. He kissed
her pulling her closer.
    “So on this week away thing.” Josie
said.
    “Yeah.”
    “Exactly what are you going to do to me?”
She asked.
    “Nothing good.” He smiled. Josie giggled
laying her head on his chest.
    “Good.” She smiled. Grayson stroked her
head, holding her tight and slipping back under the covers wrapping
her up tighter. Josie held him too closing her eyes.

    They dropped the kids off at his brother’s
house Saturday morning at eleven and headed to the woods with their
dogs, two Labradors named Porter and Cubby, and everything they
needed to last through their trip. She was so excited. A week away
in the woods with the man she loved. She knew it was to relax but a
huge part of her wanted to do things she would never do at
home.
    They found the store in a little mini-mall
in the town. Josie walked around while he found the kit. She picked
up a few things placing them in the basket before going back to
him.
    “Did you find it?” She asked. He held it
up.
    “Are you sure?” He asked. She looked up at
him biting her lip softly.
    “Yes.” Josie answered. Grayson stepped
closer to her looking into her eyes. Josie smiled rising on her
toes and kissing him. “Really. I want to at least try it.” Grayson
eyed her then put it into the basket.
    “A vibrator, love ties, a blindfold, massage
oil and a gag.” He said he cocked a brow at the basket of things
they would never by in their town.
    “Well we’re up here away from the kids. It’s
a chance for us to do what we ordinarily wouldn’t.” She said
softly. Grayson smiled, wrapping his arms around her.
    “I’m gonna tear you up.” He grinned. She
giggled walking away from him. He watched her grab a bottle of
strawberry flavored gel on the way past. He followed her to the DVD
section.
    “Think we need one?”
    “Nope. You’re all I need.” He said smiling.
Josie looked up at him.
    “Ok.” She blushed.
    “What?” Grayson wrapped her up tightly.
    “I just kind of can’t wait to get to the
cabin.” She said smiling. Grayson took her hand leading her to the
register quickly.
    The cashier was a young lady, about
twenty-five, covered in tattoos and piercings. She smiled at them
as they put everything up.
    “First weekend together?” She smiled.
    “First week away from the kids.” Grayson
said.
    “Wow, that’s cool. How long have you two
been together?” She asked.
    “Fourteen years together, married eight.”
Grayson said.
    “That is so awesome. Keeping the spark in
your relationship is key.” She said. Josie smiled. “We have some
costumes in the back room. My advice to you, pick the nurse and the
doctor. My guy and I are used to wild sex but when we dressed up,
forget it. We were just nuts.” Grayson looked at her; Josie cocked
a brow at him.
    “When in Rome.” He said. Josie grinned
kissing him. She walked away to the backroom. He saw the
