Impromptu Wedding Plans

"Ouch. Ouch. Ouch." I blew on my hand as Alec disinfected the scrapes on my hand.

"Bear the pain. It will be over soon."

"Shouldn't we be addressing your injuries?" I caressed Alec's discolored cheek.

"I can wait."

"So can I."

"I should kill the asshole for touching you."

"Why? Do you really want me to spend who knows how long visiting you in prison?"

"You'd do that for me?"

"It's the least I could do if you killed a man for me."

"The prison chaplain could marry us."

"Conjugal visit honeymoon?"

"It would be unique."

"Or, you can let King live, and we could go to the cabin for two weeks. Climb rocks. Avoid snakes."

"Make love."

"Make love," I agreed.

"It might be worth letting him live."

"I think King will be preoccupied with those illegitimate children. He takes family seriously. And who knows, he liked those women once. Maybe one is a good match for him now."
