Chapter 127

"I think I found a good location for the rally you wanted to do, baby", Brie said as she came into the kitchen. She laid a print out from the Tahlequah Chamber of Commerce on the table in front of him.

"Lake Tenkiller?"

"Yeah, it a good scenic location. There are like eight different camp grounds that we could do this at and they're fucking huge."

"How big is the lake itself?"

"12,650 acres."

"Whoa, that's big."

"Yeah. Wanna do a summer thing?"

"Let me talk to the guy about it. We'll even do some of the stuff we wanted to do for that last one and didn't in the interest of time."

"Oh, Tim wants to come speak again. He said he had a blast listening to you guys play, then going on after you. You got them fired up for him."

David smiled. "It'd be nice to have him back. Hopefully no one tries anything stupid this time. I really don't want to move safe houses again."

"I want one that's split level, damn it. This single level shit just isn't cutting it."

"You miss running up and down the stair every time the kids needed something?"

"It kept my calves strong and toned."

David pulled Brie into his lap. "Really?"

"What is going on in that bald head of yours?"

He stood up with her in his arms. "Why don't we go to the bedroom and you can find out?"

She laid a hand softly against the side of his face and brushed her lips against his. "Have I ever told you no?"

"Not that I can remember, but I'm sure you've done it before."

She playfully smacked his shoulder. "No, no, you can't. Just leave me be", she laughed. Then she whispered, "Take me to the bedroom and ravage me", in his ear.

He moved with the quickness to the bedroom that he shared with his wife and kicked the door shut behind him. He laid her on the bed, settling on top of her, and said, "God, I love you." He didn't give her a chance to respond, he claimed her lips in a passionate kiss.

She moved against him as she tugged at his shirt. Once it was free of his body, her hands roamed the plains of his stomach and chest. Damn, he'd done a great job maintaining the six pack she'd helped him get.

Once they had removed each other’s clothes, he did exactly what she'd asked him to do. He ravaged her.

They laid in bed, holding each other. "I love you, Brie", David said.

She smiled, her fingers playing along the hairs of his arm. "I love you too, David. Now that I've got you thoroughly worn out, what do you say to the rally at Lake Tenkiller?"

He chuckled. "Let me talk to the guys about it first. I'm sure there won't be a problem with it, but they have to agree with me. I'm not the only member of the band, you know."

"What about Tim coming back to speak?"

"That sounds like a good idea to me. He was a great speaker and the crowd really responded to him. I'm sure we'd be glad to have him back. Again, let me talk to the guys."

"No, damn it, I want a decision now!" she said playfully.

"Oh, really?" he said, pinning her down and rolling on top of her.

"Oh, on", she said unexcited. "He's going to do something to make me agree to wait." She laughed. "Ok, fine. I'll let you talk to the guys."

"That's what I thought, but I'm still not getting off of you."

"Oh really?" She rolled and put him on his back. "I think not."

Finally, David and Brie got out of bed when the quads started fussing over the baby monitor. They went and tended to the babies and then went out to the kitchen with everyone else. "What have you two been doing?" Mike asked.

"What do you think, Mikey?" Brie asked him in return.

"She's been convincing me to have that rally we've been thinking about at a place called Lake Tenkiller."

"And what did you decide?" John asked.

"That I needed to talk to you guys first."

"He was adamant about it. No matter what I did, he still insisted that he should talk to you guys", said Brie.

"Thoughtful of him", Dan said with a smile.

"Hey, I tried. I know you guys trust my judgment, so tell him that Lake Tenkiller is a good idea."

"Give us the specs and then we'll decide."

Brie gave them the same spiel that she gave David about the location she found. The acreage, everything that she found. "So, what do you think?"

"It's a good location, and we've got no place better other than here at the house", John said.

"And the Commandant specifically asked that we NOT hold it here", David said.

"Then I guess it's settled", Dan said, "Lake Tenkiller it is."
