“Aren’t you tired?”

“No,” she admitted, arching her back so her breasts rubbed against his chest. “There will be plenty of other nights for us to sleep.”

A grin covered his face. “I must be the luckiest man on earth.” He grasped her waist and tugged her against his manhood, which had grown before her eyes.

She bubbled with excitement. “Must be the penny in my shoe.”

He wrapped her in both arms. “I knew that was one special penny.”

“And the most precious gift I’ll ever receive,” she proclaimed as she devoured his mouth, ready to make their wedding night last until the morning sun proclaimed a new day.

It wasn’t until late afternoon that they checked out of the Dodge House and loaded her belongings in his wagon. With her penny in her shoe and her husband at her side, Annalee, happier than an angel with new wings, waved goodbye to her friends lining the street in front of her little house on the edge of town. Planting a kiss on her husband’s cheek, she settled onto the wagon seat.

“Do you have a bathtub at the ranch?”

“Yes,” he said.

“Big enough for two?”

“Yes, big enough for two,” he replied.

“Good, then let’s hurry.” She had no doubt his laughter could be heard on the other end of town. Hers too.

 

Lauri Robinson
’s chosen genre to write is western historical. When asked why, she says, “Because I know I wasn’t the only girl who wanted to grow up and marry Little Joe Cartwright.”

With a degree in early childhood education, Lauri has spent decades working in the non-profit field and claims once upon a time and happily ever after romance novels have always been a form of stress relief. When her husband suggested she write one, she took the challenge and has loved every minute of the journey.

Lauri lives in rural Minnesota where she and her husband spend every spare moment with their three grown sons and four grandchildren. She works part time, volunteers for several organizations, and is a diehard Elvis and NASCAR fan. Her favorite getaway location is the woods of northern Minnesota on the land homesteaded by her great-grandfather.
