His words made her smile. “I know. What does the house look like? Does it need as much renovation as the one here?”
“No just some paint and decorations. Wait, I’ll send some pictures.”
She listened as he put the phone on speaker and walked around to the different rooms. Darron ran to her and settled on her lap.
“Uncle Blake is taking pictures of our new home. Do you want to see them?”
Darron nodded excitedly and pulled at the phone.
“I sent them.”
Niev giggled and put him on speaker. “Darron is already anxious to see them.”
Niev opened the text messages and scrolled through the pictures with Darron looking along with her and pointing out things here and there.
“How do you like it?”
“It’s big.”
“But you’re not satisfied.”
She sighed and let Darron scroll through all the pictures again. “I just wish we could take our house with us.”
“And if I could, I would grant you that wish.”
“I know and that’s why I love you.”
Lyliann stepped out on the porch and saw Niev talking on the phone. She quickly called her son inside, giving Niev a quiet moment with Blake.
“I know I’m being hard on you. I just need a little more time to wrap my head around this.”
“Please don’t think you're being hard on me because you aren’t. I’ve been the one giving you trouble.”
She gently laughed at him.
“See? Your laugh only proves that I’m right.” He paused for a moment. “I miss you. I miss the feeling of knowing that I’ll be coming home to my beautiful mate. I miss your touch, and your smile. I can’t fall asleep at night because I can’t hear your heartbeats.”
“I miss you too. I miss my big fluffy puppy.”
“You can have as many fluffy cuddles as you wish when I get home.”
“Are you still leaving tomorrow?”
“Yes. Raymond has offered for me to leave a list behind of things you and I want to change around the house, and he’ll take care of it while we prepare to come. Ann and Kareem will come visit before we leave and help us drive our belongings back.”
“I haven’t even started packing yet.”
“There is no need. We still have until after Tristan and Olivia’s mating ceremony.”
“Since coming back I always have the feeling I should be doing something but can’t bring myself to do it.”
“You don’t have to. I’ll be back soon and all you have to do is look pretty while I do all the work.”
She giggled, her mind going straight to the naughty things.
“That too,” he chuckled, knowing exactly what she’d been thinking. “We can do lots of that too. I’ll spoil you as much as you like.”
“Mhm… my very own shirtless handyman.”
