Through The Grapevine: A BWWM Romance (10 page)

They embraced and kissed for what seemed like eternity, and then he let her go and looked down at her. "So is that a yes? Will you marry me?"

"Yes!" she giggled happily, still feeling very much like she was living in some strange dream.

He looked around them surreptitiously and said in a soft voice, "I am sorry about the strange circumstances. I wish I had figured this all out earlier. Are we okay?" he asked, looking down at her with mild concern.

"Yes, we are just fine. We couldn't be better." she grinned at him and kissed him again, forgetting the madness of all the people around them and losing herself in her love.

Epilogue

She stood at the crest of the mountain, stopping for a moment and taking a deep breath of fresh pine air. Shannon pulled her mask off and looked around at the wonder of the Rocky Mountains blanketed in Christmas snow. It was truly majestic, and she loved it beyond measure.

"It's really something else, isn't it?" Colby said, coming up behind her and taking it all in with her.

She turned and looked at him with a challenging smile on her face. "So do you think you're up for this? I have to let you know, Black Diamonds are my specialty. You're going to have your hands full beating me down this hill."

He moved close to her and kissed her mouth long and sensually. "I will have my hands full on the way down the hill, it's true, but I will be honest with you, I'm more interested in having my hands full with you when we get back to the cabin, Mrs. Porter." he winked at her and kissed her again.

"Do you think your dad would watch Casey for us while we have dinner and dessert tonight?" she looked up at him with a flirty gaze and he felt his body grow warm for her.

Colby nodded with a smile. The only thing my dad likes better than being my dad, is being our son's grandfather. I have no doubt that he will be glad to spend the night with his little grandson."

"Then I'm all yours!" she called out to him as she tilted her ski tips downward and began to fly away on the champagne snow. "If you can catch me!"  She shouted back over her shoulder with a laugh.

"I'm on it! You're mine!" he called to her, pulling his mask down over his face and shooting down the slope behind her.

They twisted and turned down the slope, banking and flying, jumping and spinning and she beat him to the bottom by more than a full minute, but when he got there, he felt like a winner, taking his beautiful wife into his arms and kissing her deeply.

His father was sitting in the sun at a table outside of the ski lodge with their son Casey, who was just learning to walk.

The couple unsnapped themselves from their skis and walked over to see his dad and the baby. Casey squealed and clapped his hands when he saw his mother and father coming to him.

"Hello baby boy!" Shannon called out, picking him up and hugging him tightly as he laughed. She pointed to the bunny hill and said, "When you start walking, I will take you over there and show you how to ski, and then in no time at all you'll be on the diamond hill with your mom and dad!"

He clapped his hands and wiggled in her arms and all of them laughed at him. Colby took him from his mother and they sat down together with Colby's father.

Louis Porter took his grandson back into his arms and played with him again. "I'm so glad you two wound up together and gave me this beautiful little boy. He's the greatest gift ever. I don't think anything could ever come close to being as important to me as he is."

Colby shared a secret smile with Shannon and then he looked at his dad. "Well, dad, we're going to do our best to try."

Louis looked them and raised his eyebrows. "That would be hard to do. What do you have in mind?" he asked with a smile.

"A little brother or sister for Casey sometime late in the summer!" Colby said with a grin.

His dad whooped and gave the baby a high five. "That's wonderful news!" he hugged them both and glowed with happiness.

"Dad, what would you think of watching Casey for us tonight so we can go out on a parent date, please?" Shannon asked with a smile.

Louis picked up his grandson and held him close. "I would love that. You two go have a good time and Casey and I will go off and have our own fun!"

Colby and Shannon welcomed two more children into their marriage over the coming years, and they loved each other with all of their hearts, always.
