Stephen grinned. "Oh baby, I'm all for restraints. You know what we need to get? Fur covered cuffs. They feel a lot different from leather." He smacked Adrian's shoulder. "Come on, turn around, so I don't make you horny and I can still be close to you."
He settled on his side, looking at Adrian. "Look, love, we've argued about this in the past, but we've grown as a couple, and I don't want this to be a problem for us. I know how much buying things means to you, and I'm not going to argue with you, at least not now. I will, though, if you start spoiling our children. Then we'll have a problem, because I'm not ruining them to indulge you. However, when it comes to us... we'll find a way, baby. I'll find a job that I like and that doesn't take me away from you. I can always go back to work with William. Father always paid me, William has, and would again, and I enjoy doing the work, so it's all right."
He kissed Adrian softly. "You can give me anything we want, it's still going to the children, and stop worrying. I have time to do your books." He traced Adrian's cheekbone. "We don't have to say anything about your parents. As far as our children will be concerned, three of our grandparents are dead, that's it."
