Until The Sun Goes Down (Boundless Love Book 3) by Iris Deorre Page B

approached them.
    ‘I know the feeling. At least tonight she’ll be out like a log.’ She watched as the little princess bounced up and down the castle with her friends.
    ‘That’s a good thing.’ Elizabeth smiled.
    ‘You still okay to have her next weekend?’
    ‘Of course, I’d never turn down an opportunity to spend with my granddaughter.’
    Elizabeth had finally felt peace within herself. Sahara was healthy, they had a healthy daughter and Eugene was a great husband and father. Sahara had achieved things she never had, and she seemed to be the happiest woman she knew.
    ‘Great, because Eugene and I are going to spend the weekend in sunny Spain.’
    ‘We sure are.’ He squeezed her.
    She felt a pain shoot through her stomach. It was short and sharp, and she almost bent over, but didn’t, instead she gritted her teeth through it.
    ‘Are you okay?’ He’d felt her body tense in his arm.
    ‘I couldn’t be happier.’ She smiled. It was true she couldn’t have been happier.

    ‘Did you have a good time today?’ Sahara asked Joy as she tucked her in.
    ‘The best day ever!’ She flapped her hands about just to show how much.
    ‘I’m so glad you did.’ She gritted her teeth a moment and placed her hand over her belly.
    ‘What’s wrong mummy?’
    ‘Oh nothing, nothing’s wrong. You get some sleep and I’ll see you in the morning.’ She leaned forward and gave joy a kiss. ‘I love you beautiful.’
    ‘I love you too mummy.’ She rolled away.
    Sahara reached for the lamp and switched off the light. A few moments later, she stood up and made her way to the main bedroom of the mansion. Eugene was already in bed, his laptop on his lap, working.
    ‘What did I say about working in bed?’ she asked.
    ‘I’m only looking at an email and you weren’t here. The moment you slide into bed, I’m done.’
    She gave him a playful warning look.
    ‘I’ll be with you in a moment. I must take a shower.’
    ‘Can I join you?’
    She wanted to say yes, but there was the nagging pain she couldn’t quite get rid of, and she didn’t want him worrying about nothing.
    ‘Nope! You stay right there and I’ll be back in a moment to give you the time of your life.’
    ‘Hmmm, I like the sound of that. After all these years, you’re still able to turn me on.’
    ‘Good.’ She smiled, and then headed for the ensuite.
    The minute she shut the door behind her she bent over. The pain was excruciating. She’d taken something for it, but it hadn’t done a thing. Fear crept through and she wondered if illness had invaded her body again. The thought made her sick to the stomach. Sahara wasn’t sure she’d be able to travel down that road again.
    She leaned into the door and just waited for it to subside. It did after a few minutes.
    ‘Honey, are you okay in there?’ He wondered, since he hadn’t heard the shower.
    ‘I’m fine. You get ready for the time of your life.’ She undressed and started the shower.
    ‘Oh I’m ready. Just don’t take too long.’
    ‘I won’t, I promise.’ She stepped into the shower and lathered her body.
    A few minutes later she felt better and refreshed. She wondered if the pain was all in her head. She took time to brush her teeth and study her face in the mirror. Her cheeks had filled out over the years, and her hair had been healthier than it had ever been. She didn’t want to loose all that, she was happy. Sickness had no right invading her life at that time.
    ‘It’s all in your head. You’re alright. Look at you, you’ve been in remission for years.’ She smiled. She’d been blessed with life. ‘You are okay.’ She told herself again.
    She stepped out of the bathroom in her birthday suit. Eugene grinned. He put the laptop to the side and patted the left side of the bed. She walked over to him slowly. The breast that had been lost to cancer had been reconstructed and it had built her confidence even more.
    She climbed onto the bed over him. Her legs over him
