looked in on Aunt Judy, who had just bedded down with a book and a glass of wine. Sabrinia was relaxing in the jetted tub, while down the hallway Valeria was singing a soft lullaby to Neariah as she rocked her to sleep. She waved them off, not wanting her granddaughter to be awakened by the presence of her parents. The last stop was their master bedroom, which was their private room of relaxation. Decorated in ivory and gold, it was fully equipped, with a fireplace and an intimate sitting area near a large window overlooking the pool, the fountain, and a perfectly manicured backyard.
    Ramsey pulled Keilah’s sweater over her head, exposing her bra and full chest. He kissed her neck and the cleavage of her breasts, causing her to let out a soft whimper.
    â€œDo you want me to finish undressing you?” he asked with a mischievous expression on his face.
    â€œBaby, if you undress me now, I don’t think you’ll be rejoining my brothers downstairs.”
    He unbuttoned her jeans and pulled them down over her hips and said, “I think they’ll understand if I don’t come back.”
    Ramsey stood back and admired his wife’s beautiful body as she stood before him in her pink lace undergarments.
    â€œDamn,” he whispered as he felt himself about to lose control of his body.
    She cuddled up to him and ran her hand over his broad chest and said, “Thank you. I feel the same way when I look at you.”
    He gave her a sultry kiss on the lips and then patted her on the backside. “Get some rest. I’ll be back after watching a few highlights.”
    â€œThat’s fine,” she said as she turned and walked toward the bathroom so she could get ready for bed.
    Ramsey closed the door behind him and headed back downstairs to join his father and brothers-in-law. He spent the next hour or so enjoying their company. When he checked the time, he realized how late it was and called it a night. He made his way upstairs after securing the house and eased into bed with his wife, who had drifted off the sleep, but he had no problem waking her up with his soft kisses and gentle tongue.
    It wasn’t until she lay in her husband’s arms after making love to him that Keilah decided to tell him about Trenton’s phone call.
    â€œRamsey?”
    He pulled her closer and answered, “Yes, dear?”
    â€œYou know I love you, right?”
    He kissed her and said, “Of course I do.”
    â€œYou also know that I would never do anything to disrespect or hurt you.”
    He opened his eyes and said, “Yeah, baby, I know. What’s up?”
    â€œTrenton called my cell phone the other day.”
    â€œWhat?”
    She sighed and said, “He was talking crazy, saying he was still in love with me and that he wasn’t able to let go after seeing me on the plane. He said he was willing to fight for me, and before he hung up, he said what happens ... happens.”
    Ramsey sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes. “What did he mean by that?”
    â€œI don’t know, babe.”
    â€œThat bastard is just asking for me to break his damn neck.”
    Keilah lovingly wrapped her arms around her husband’s neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Baby, I don’t want you to get into any trouble over this. He’s arrogant, not stupid.”
    Ramsey stood and walked over to the window and looked out into the night. He turned to her and said, “You’re my wife, and nobody’s going to disrespect our marriage.”
    Keilah climbed out of bed and joined her husband at the window. It was a clear night, and the moonlight shining through the window seemed to illuminate their bodies, especially Ramsey’s and his military tattoos. She sat on the window seat and looked up into her husband’s distressed face.
    â€œYou have nothing to worry about. You know where my heart is.”
    He looked down at her and said, “That’s never been in
