“Are you though? Because I distinctly remember you making a spreadsheet for Nate’s potty training.”

“That spreadsheet was very helpful “I stopped talking because she was kissing me, soft and slow and deliberately distracting.

“Stop talking about spreadsheets,” she murmured against my lips. “You scheduled date night. Make it worth the scheduling ”

Challenge accepted.

I lifted her onto the bathroom counter, positioning myself between her thighs. She wrapped her legs around my waist automatically, the movement so familiar and perfect that something in my chest tightened. This. This was what I’d been craving. Not just the physical–though goddess knew I wanted that desperately–but the connection. The intimacy that came from knowing each other completely.

“Jeremy.” Her voice was breathless now. “Bedroom. I’m not making love on the bathroore counter like we’re twenty.”

“We’ve made love on the bathroom counter plenty of times in our thirties.”

“That was before we had two children who could walk in at any moment despite theoretically being asleep.”

Fair point. I lifted her, carrying her to our bedroom while she laughed against my shoulder. Set her down on the bed with more care than strictly necessary. Stood looking at her for a moment–my mate, my Emma, still wearing my t–shirt and nothing else, her hair spread across our pillows.

“What?” she asked, noticing my expression.

“Just looking at you.” I climbed onto the bed, settling over her. “Emma, you’re you’re everything.”

“I’m wearing your old t–shirt and I haven’t shaved my legs in three days because parenting.”

“You’re perfect.” I kissed her throat, feeling her pulse jump under my lips. “Every part of you. Every version of you. The one who forgave me when she shouldn’t have. The one who gave me Grace and Nate. The one who made Cas part of our family. The one who-“I paused, emotion tightening my voice. “The one who chose to stay. To build this with me. To love me despite everything.”

Her hands found my face, gentle. “Jeremy, where is this coming from?”

“From ten years of being grateful every single day.” I kissed her properly now, putting everything I couldn’t say into the contact. “From wanting you so badly I ache with it. From needing to show you to make you feel–how much you mean to me.”

“Then show me.” Her voice was soft. Certain. “We have all evening. Show me.”

I took my time. Pulled the T–shirt over her head slowly, revealing skin I’d mapped a thousand times but never tired of discovering again. Kissed every inch of her throat, collarbones, breasts, the soft curve of her stomach that had carried both our

children.

She arched into my touch, making soft sounds that drove my wolf crazy with need. Her hands tugged af fury shirt impatiently. “Off,” she demanded. “Jeremy, I want to feel you.”

I stripped efficiently, years of practice making it quick. Then I was back over her, skin against skin, and the world narrowed to just this–Emma beneath me, her hands on my back, her legs wrapped around my hips.

“I love you.” I needed to say it. Needed her to hear it. “Emma, I love you so much sometimes I can’t breathe with it.”

“I love you too.” Her eyes were bright–emotion and desire mixing. “Now Jeremy–please. I need you. I’ve been waiting for this all week.”

“All week?”

“You scheduled date night a week ago. Did you think I wasn’t counting down?” She pulled me closer. “I’ve been thinking about this. About having you all to myself. About” She gasped as I moved against her. “About exactly this.”

“Tell me what you want.”

“You. Inside me. Now.” Her voice was firm despite the breathlessness. “We can do slow and romantic later. Right now I need—”

She didn’t finish because I was giving her what she’d asked for. Pushing into her heat, feeling her body accept me like it was made for exactly this. And maybe it was. Maybe we were made for this–this connection, this perfect fit, this moment of complete unity.

I moved slowly at first despite her demands for more. Savoring the feeling of being inside her, of watching pleasure move across her face, of hearing the small sounds she made that drove me absolutely wild.

“Jeremy–more–please-”

I gave her more. Set a rhythm that had her gasping, her nails digging into my back in that particular way that meant she was close. I knew her body intimately. Knew exactly what she needed.

“Touch yourself,” I said roughly. “Emma, let me watch you.”

She did, her hand moving between our bodies, and the combination of sensations–her heat around me, her hand working, the sounds she was making–it was almost too much.

“Jeremy–I’m-” She broke off, her body tightening around me as she came, my name on her lips.

I followed her over the edge, emptying into her with the particular satisfaction of being exactly where I belonged. Inside my mate. In our bed. In this life we’d built together.

We collapsed together, breathing hard, sweat–slicked and satisfied.

“That was-” Emma started.

“Worth the scheduling?”

“Definitely worth the scheduling.” She turned her head to look at me, smiling. “Though we still have all evening. That was just the beginning.”

“You have plans for the rest of the evening?”

“I have ideas. Some of them require more energy than we currently have, so we might need a recovery period.”

“I like how you think.”

We lay tangled together, bodies Cooling, hearts still racing. This was intimacy beyond the physical–this quiet after; this comfortable silence, this perfect knowledge of each other.

“Jeremy?” Emma’s voice was soft.

“Hmm?”

“Thank you. For scheduling this. For making sure we have time for just us “She turned in my arms to face me. “It’s easy to get lost in being parents and Alphas and managing Council politics. Easy to forget to be mates.”

“I never forget we’re mates.” I kissed her forehead. “But you’re right. We need this. Regular reminders that before we were parents or Alphas or any of it–we were this. You and me.”

“Minus the decade where you were terrible at being a mate.”

“Fair point.” I pulled her closer. “But I’m making up for that now. Hence the scheduled romance.”

“You’re absolutely making up for it.” She yawned, settling against my chest. “Though if you’re looking for additional ways to make amends, I have a list.”

“Of course you do.”

“It includes things like: regular date nights, foot rubs, doing the dishes without being asked-‘

“Emma.”

“Yes?”
