I stare at him. “What? How?”
“The reason I wasn’t replying to your calls and texts today wasn’t because I was ignoring you, Lily. I was taking care of shit so I could have some days at home. I hope to fuck you’re ready for me, because you’re gonna have to put up with me for an entire week.”
Holy shit.
I move so that I’m straddling him. “You never take time off at Christmas.”
He brings his hands to my thighs. “Yeah, well I am this year.”
Holy. Shit.
I smile. This smile is far bigger than my last one. “You know what that means, right?”
King knows me well after all these years together, so he knows I’m going nowhere he wants me to here. “I fucking shudder to think.”
I laugh and bend to kiss him. “It means we can do five fucking questions every day for the next week.”
“Christ,” he mutters before slapping my ass and saying, “Get ready for round two. And get ready for a lot of fucking sex the next week. If I have to answer your questions, you’ll be sucking my dick a fuckuva lot.”
I kiss him again, smiling into it before murmuring, “You forget how much I like sucking your dick. Even after all these years, it’s still one of my favourite things to do.”
I leave him to clean up, thinking about the next week and all the things I can get him to do around the house and with me.
When I return to the bed, I slide in next to him and say, “This is the best Christmas present you’ve ever given me.”
He moves so that he’s on top of me. Looking down at me with love, he says, “Surely we’re fucking done with five fucking questions after a decade of them.”
I grin. “Baby, we’ll never be done with that. I would have thought you’d know me well enough by now to know that.”
“A man can fucking live in hope.”
With that, he proceeds to make good on his promise of a lot of fucking sex.
This is turning out to be the best Christmas of my life.

CHRISTMAS GROUP CHAT
Two years after the Epilogue in Colt’s book, which is 13 years after Storm
Madison
Dying over here because Willow’s teacher sent home a Christmas project to “make your own snow globe” today. The kids don’t have to do it, but I mean, what kid isn’t going to want to do something fun like this?? It has to be finished by TOMORROW!
Chelsea
Gunnar just asked why you can't just shake up a bottle of water and call it done
Velvet
You got snow globes? Zeke’s teacher wants us to make a "sustainable Christmas village" using only recycled materials. And same… TONIGHT.
