A soft knock sounds at the door, attracting all our attention toward it.
“Winter’s awake,” Kai responds loudly.
The door opens and Jacob walks in with a massive tray in his hands.
A delicious aroma spreads in the room, reminding me of hot pancakes and freshly brewed coffee. An eager grin lifts the corners of my lips as Jacob comes over to the bed and lays the tray before me.
“Wow,” I breathe, staring at the spread.
Along with steaming cups of coffee, there’s a large bowl of cut fruits, a mountain of chocolate-chip pancakes, jars of syrup and whipped cream, and a platter of scrambled eggs and bacon.
“Thanks, Bruh,” Kai says, grabbing a piece of bacon. He bites into the crispy rasher and moans. “Mmm, I was getting so damn hungry.”
Moving closer, Jacob kisses the top of my head. “Merry Christmas, darling,” he says, smiling at me. His silvery eyes shine with warmth, making me hug him tighter.
“Merry Christmas to you too,” I whisper, breathing in his delectable scent. “Thanks for making us breakfast.”
An appreciative hum escapes him as he leans in closer to kiss me.
Heat sings in my veins as his arms wrap around me, keeping me pressed to his hard chest. I drown in his warmth when suddenly my tummy decides to ruin the moment.
A loud rumble erupts in the room, making me break away. My hand flies to my stomach as my embarrassment heightens.
“Sorry,” I mumble, looking up at Jacob.
He chuckles, leaning in to peck my lips. “I’m sorry, love. You must be starving after everything we did to you last night.” Turning around, he loads up a plate with pancakes, eggs, and fruit. “Here, have some of this food, first.”
“Thanks,” I say gratefully, accepting the plate from him.
Over the next several minutes, we’re all quiet as we stuff our mouths with the delicious spread before us. Each time, I meet one of their gazes, they smile warmly at me.
As the days pass by, I wonder how I could’ve lived without them all these years. It feels like I’ve known Jacob, Cole, and Kai my whole life. Maybe it’s our mate bond, or maybe it’s just my heart that’s offered itself to the three Drake brothers.
Either way, I have no doubt in my mind that they’re the mates I’ve always longed for. Jacob, Cole, and Kai are mine.
“How about we go downstairs and open some presents?” Kai says as I sip my coffee.
Excitement surges through me at once. It doesn’t matter that I’m no longer five. The prospect of opening gifts on Christmas morning is the best feeling in the world.
“Let’s go,” I say, carefully climbing off the bed so I won’t spill any of my precious coffee.
I catch something passing between the three brothers just as I’m about to leave the room.
Did they get me a surprise gift or something?I wonder with a quiet chuckle.
As we reach the staircase, I catch wisps of a familiar Christmas song. Humming the tune, I hurry down the stairs and reach the entrance hall.
To my surprise, the entire room is decorated with garlands of tinsel and holly. Soft mounds of white cotton, mimicking snow, are spread on every surface. The ornaments on the beautiful Christmas tree shine and sparkle. Strings of fairy lights run overhead, casting a magical glow to the whole scene.
“When did you guys do this?!” I exclaim as I step inside the room.
When I went to bed last night, this room only had the Christmas tree.
“Do you like it?” Jacob asks.
I nod dumbly, staring at the magic they’ve created for me.
“We have more surprises waiting for you,” Kai says, looking excited and ready to pounce on me.
