Author's Note:
I just want to thank everyone who has sent me feedback and all the great comments over my time away. I meant to do it sooner but to be honest, since the dam had broken on my writer's block, I have been working like a fiend, not only to get pages ready to submit but on new stories and hope nothing comes along to plug the hole of creative energy I seem to be experiencing.
I have also been working on my grammar and punctuation that seems to bother a lot of folks, but I don't think it will ever be good enough to please everyone. I was awful in school English and spelling was the only thing I could ever claim to be good at. I have considered getting that new Dragon program that lets you talk instead of type and I would really appreciate some comments and feedback from anyone who uses the program. If any of you think it might help, then please let me know.
I will be working on the chapters I have already written and submitting them as they become available. Maybe even a couple new stories if they don't mind.
Hugs

Dani stepped out of the shower and began to dry off slowly. She felt wonderful this morning, no signs of sickness or fear of Nick and Jessie, nothing. Only a feeling calm and love surrounded her today. It had been wonderful last night; making love with Bull on the veranda as they had and feeling the air around them fill with the scent of their bodies joined in sexual release. She had needed that, as badly as Bull had and now the memory of how good it had been and exciting he had felt filled her even more.
Even their son had been soothed by it, the ordeal of the final day of the trip gone but wisely not forgotten. Instead it had been put on a back shelf and today they would leave New Orleans for Bull's family home in the bayou. She could hardly wait except for the one thing that did mar her mood. Knowing that Bull had been so close to seeing his father one last time and missed that chance didn't seem fair to her. She knew it bothered him as well but he was holding up okay. Better than she would if it was her dad who had passed away. She'd be in pieces; Jack Lazarus had been her rock for her entire short life. Still, he was getting older, and she knew that one day it would be her dad who they mourned. Time didn't stop for anyone; it didn't choose this person or that to live forever, and when she considered it, who would want that anyway?
Bull was packing up the few things they had needed for the short stay and she saw he was wearing his new jeans and a black, close fitting tee-shirt that hugged his broad chest, and showed off his muscular build. Her mom had firmly pronounced before ever leaving the house back in Oregon that he needed new things and they had spent the day in Portland shopping. His biggest splurge had been a new pair of boots and a nice, tailored looking suit jacket. Another of her mother's insistence buys. Even her dad and brothers owned one of those, they seldom wore it, but it was still nice to have.
She let out a low whistle and walked up behind him to pat his ass. "Very nice, good thing most of the women we'll be seeing will be related to you, or I might have a real reason to feel jealous."
"Not a chance in hell honey, I am a one woman man and you are that woman..." He chuckled. "I look that good huh?"
"Yes you do, very well indeed."
He turned and looked at her, "So do you, but I think you better put some clothes on before we go, that body of yours is not for view by anyone but me, and none of your short little skirts or dresses today..."
Dani pulled on a thong of lavender lace and reached for the matching bra. "Will this work?"
To say he was devouring her with his eyes would have been putting it extremely mild. "It works for me, but you better be adding some jeans and a top of some kind. I will even let you get away with shorts, considering how hot it is supposed to be, but that's as far as I go for letting you show off your body to my male relatives."
"Does that include Andre?" She had to tease him, not to be mean but to see his eyes flash and make her feel warm and loved all over...
"Especially Andre, good thing I never knew about that kiss until your mom reminded us about it. As it is, I just might have a hard time keeping from punching him in the mouth for it."
"Oh honestly Bull, we were just kids, besides you got me in the end, and remember mom said he made me cry because of it."
"All the more reason to make me punch him out," he grinned as he walked over and pulled her to him, "But if you be real nice to me, I might be nice in return and leave him alone."
"Hmm, how nice would I have to be...?" She moved closer as he ran his hands down and rubbed her ass.
"Well, for one you can put your hair up in pig tails, and later on you can..." He whispered what he wanted and Dani giggled as he looked down at her with his eyes sparkling. "Well?"
"You are in a hot mood today; would you like that with or without panties?"
"With to begin with, then we'll see how it goes..."
"You keep talking like that, and I'll be meeting your family without panties because these will be soaked..."
