to dim. The only sounds came from the other side of the closed door. Our little hospital was not large, it was a typical country, twenty-bed community medical centre. My family donated money every year at the major fundraiser, ensuring it was better equipped than some others in the district. However, I was glad for the peace tonight, after what I just found out, I needed the quiet.
“That was some pretty heavy information, honey,” Farron whispered quietly, startling me.
Leaning down, I pressed a kiss to her forehead, then peppered light kisses all over her face, lastly reaching her lips. Covering her lips with mine, I breathed in deeply, the contact the balm I needed to soothe me.
“Hey baby, yeah, it was some kind of shit to take in, that’s for sure.” I agreed still not sure what to think about everything I just heard. It was a lot to take in, a feud spanning over fifty years over something so trivial but caused so much heart-ache and so damaging.
“But something to digest later right,” Farron guessed, her brown eyes searching my face.
“The later, the better. Right now, all I want to do is hold you, hell if I didn’t have the reassurance from my specialist that my heart is working perfectly, I swear it stopped beating when I saw Mack’s ute sticking arse up in that fucking shaft.” I groaned at the memory and the fear I experienced when Blake told us about Farron’s fall.
“It wasn’t all that fun being in it when it happened either, it all happened so quickly we didn’t have any time to brace—”
Kissing her to stop the rest of the tale, I knew if I let her continue, my pulse would pick back up again.
“Not now baby, let’s just lay here and be thankful you are here and only have a broken foot.” I wasn’t ready to hear the grim details of my fiancée’s fall, fuck I don’t know if I ever would be. Losing Farron, the possibility of living without her … not something I could handle.
“I’m good with that,” Farron agreed, wriggling closer in my embrace. “At least Mallory and Blake worked out their issues, and you guys have some answers and can move forward past the drama, or try to.”
“We will baby, Noxx, Drixx and I know what we have. The lesson to take from our father is not to let the past define who we are and can be. Although, those two are entertaining when they get stuck into each other … just saying.”
Farron reached out and cupped my jaw, it didn’t escape me she liked to do that, and especially liked it when I had a scruffy sprinkling of hair there.
“You never cease to amaze me Fenixx Hott, your generosity and faith in people. There is no man like you, and, I for one, am glad my son gets to learn how to be a man from your example. I love you Nixx, and I can’t wait for the rest of my life with you.”
Looking deep into her eyes, one of my favourite sights in the world, I nuzzled into her soft hand.
“Never stop loving me Farron, it’s you my heart beats for, baby. God let me live because he knew you would come into my life and make me whole. I love you so much.”
The quiet of the room was disturbed by the soft moans of the woman in my arms, as we kissed gently. Another steady sound only I could hear … the rhythmic beating of my heart.
Strong and true … the love of a good woman will do that.
FENIXX
I checked my watch then looked over at the driveway and still no sign of Farron’s car.
How long does it take to have an ultrasound for fuck sake? I mean if I knew she was going to be this long, I would have cancelled the buyer or let Blake take care of it.
Selling four hundred head of prime beef stock to a Canadian buyer who came all the way from Montreal purely for Triple H bloodlines not as important as seeing my child on a screen, but Farron insisted I stay, that there were going to be other opportunities to go with her. The buyer wanted both Hendrixx and me at the sale, even Noxx was asked to be present, which seemed strange until the guy turned up with a camera crew.
He wanted to document the occasion and put it on social media, sprouting something about international relations. Nothing
