Carter's Pov....

Christmas Eve...

"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"

Smiling at my husband I squeezed my arms tighter around my little girl that was in my lap. Charlie was snuggled in my lap as she stared widely at her daddy who just finished reading "T'was The Night Before Christmas".

All the kids were enthralled by the story. Aiden and Julian sat right by my legs, practically leaning forward towards their dad. At 7 and 5 all three kids were huge believers in Santa Claus so tonight was the most anticipated day in our household.

All three were decked out in their brand new PJ's from Gage and I. It was a family tradition to get brand new PJ's on Christmas eve.

"Okay time for bed." I announced as soon as Gage put the book down. It was nearing 9 o'clock and I knew putting them to bed would take a good hour.

"But mom!" Aiden whined. "I want to wait up for Santa!" The other two chorused the same thing. Gage and I shared a grin.

"Santa doesn't go to houses with kids that are up. He has a device that he uses so he knows who's house to skip. Do you want Santa to come tonight?"

At my words all three kids eyes widened and they stood up.

"NO I WANT SANTA!"


"SANTA HAS TO COME!"

"SANTA!!"

Holding back in my laughter I watched as they all ran towards the kitchen to get the cookies ready for Santa.

"Nice going." Gage commented, coming up to my side.

"It worked." I grinned up at the guy I have loved since I was 18.

"Since they are going to bed early does this mean I get my present early?" Gage had a knowing smirk on his face. He still acted like a teenager even at 36.

"What if I make you wait?" I teased, sending him a smirk of my own. I turned to face him and took a step forward.


"You know I don't like being teased." I watched as his eyes darkened and his jaw clenched. I knew that tone and it sent a zing right to my core.

"But I like teasing you." I nibbled on my bottom lip knowing it drove him crazy.

"MOM! DAD!" Aiden yelled from the kitchen, breaking the tension between us.

"He's a little cock-blocker." Gage muttered making me laugh.

"Don't worry we have all night." Getting up on my toes I kissed him on the lips before heading for the kitchen. Who knew what the kids were doing without us there. Behind me I heard Gage mutter something making me grin.

Coming into the kitchen I noticed the kids had already gotten the cookies from the counter for Santa. We have spent the last day and a half baking tons of cookies for family and Santa.

"Santa needs milk." Charlie demanded.

"On it." Gage said coming into the kitchen. Grabbing each kid I placed them on the counter in front of me so we could all help. The kids waited impatiently for Gage to grab a cup and milk.


"How many cookies does Santa need?" I asked, grabbing a plate for the cookies.

"7!" Julian shouted. My eyes widened at the idea of eating 7 sugar cookies.

"How about 4? One from each and one Mom and I pick out?" Gage suggested. I sent him a silent thank you. Between the two of us we could eat 4.

"Fine." Julian grumbled.

All three picked through the decorated sugar cookies we made to pick the perfect one for santa. It was so cute seeing them all get excited for santa to come tomorrow. The excitement the kids had was almost addictive.


"Okay so santa has four cookies and a glass of milk. Anything else?"

"Carrots for the deer!"


"Can't forget about them."

Once we had everything set out it was finally time for bed. My heart swelled as I watched Gage grab our daughter and swing her around before setting her on the ground.

I stood there watching as both boys climbed on their dad. Aiden on Gage's back, Charlie and Julian in each of his arms. Good thing he still worked out I tell you. I for one couldn't tear my eyes away from his flexed arms as he carried our kids upstairs to bed.

I couldn't have asked for a better father for my kids. Gage always made time to be home with us and to go to every activity the kids had. While he was the 'fun' parent he knew when the discipline as well.

Even though Gage and I have been together for 16 years nothing has changed between us. My love for him still grows and Gage never missed an opportunity to make me feel beautiful. Even on long nights he still came home to help with dinner. And don't even get me started on him teasing me. He knew exactly how to still turn me on.

Getting the kids in each of their rooms and bed took a bit. While they yawned every few seconds they up. They were to excited for tomorrow. After telling them that santa is almost here and they better go to bed, did they finally lay down.

The two of us sighed as soon as we shut the doors. We couldn't start putting out presents for a bit. No doubt the kids would stay up a bit longer until they eventually passed out. At least we put little bells on their doors to know if they open them.

We learned that the hard way a few years ago. Each kid kept coming downstairs in the middle of the night to see they could see santa. After catching all three downstairs looking at all the presents we put bells on the door. When you find one the other two are bound to follow.

Thankfully it only took the two of us two trip downstairs to the tree with presents; most were already under the tree. Some of the stuff under the tree were for our friends and family though and this stuff was from Santa.

It didn't take long for us to set everything out and fill the stockings for the kids. I couldn't wait to see the look on their faces in the morning when they come downstairs.

"Thank you for suggesting four cookies." I commented as the two of us leaned against the kitchen counter ready to eat the cookies.

"I would definitely not feel sexy after that many." I chocked back a laugh not wanting the kids to hear. One year we did try to put all but one cookie back instead of eating them and the kids knew. They knew exactly how many cookies were left after Santa's. So now we had to eat them.

"These are really good babe." I smiled as I bit into mine.

"Be happy I stopped Aiden from putting in the whole container of salt."

Leaning my hip against the counter I ate one cookie and went onto my second. The whole time I ate I felt Gage's eyes on me. He raked up and down my form even though all I had on was a pair of fuzzy bottoms and a thin sweater.


"What?" I asked, a smile playing on my lips as I looked at him. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Just trying to figure out how I got such a hot wife."

"Oh really now?"

Gage didn't say anything as he took one big step towards me. I found myself turning so my back was leaning against the counter. His arms came around me, trapping me in-between him and the counter. He leaned down closer, his eyes so dark they almost looked black.

"You love to tease me don't you?" He whispered. As I went to say something I felt one of his hands on my side. I stayed still as he trailed his hand up my side, fingers grazing the edge of my breast. My breathing turned shallow as his hand stayed right underneath the curve of my breast.

"Gage-" I was cut off as he suddenly moved and was now grabbing my hair, tugging it back to my head tilted up. Not even a second later his lips were on my throat making me moan out.

It had been a bit for us. We have both been so busy working, getting stuff ready for christmas, and when we get home we are just too tired. All the teasing and pent up lust was now starting to crack.

"You know I don't take well to being teased." Gage whispered against my neck. When his tongue swiped against the base of my throat I lost all track of thought.

Suddenly his big hands were grabbing my waist and lifting me up onto the counter. I didn't get a chance to say anything before his lips slammed down onto mine. The taste of his lips had me moaning and wrapping my arms around his neck.

Gage's kisses were still as addicting as they were when we first met. I tugged on his hair as I kissed him back just as hard. My back arched pushing my chest against his. Even through my clothes I could feel the hard planes of his body against mine. Owning our own gym really worked in my favor.

After earning a moan from Gage I moved my hands down his face, down his muscular arms, until I finally reached his abdomen. Underneath my fingers I could feel each of his abs causing me to moan. Gage just got better with age I tell you.

Getting impatiently I grabbed the hem of his shirt and started pulling it up. Our lips detached and a wicked smile formed on Gage's lips. He tugged the rest of his shirt off and threw it behind him. Seeing his toned upper body made me bite my bottom lip.

"Like what you see?" Gage's voice was low and thick as he spoke. Not bothering on answering my fingers moved on their own. With my fingertips I traced his six pack. They twitched and jumped under my touch making me inwardly grin.

Finally reaching the V-line that lead into his pants I looked up at him under hooded eyes. There was a pulsing happening between my legs as I gazed at this man that was all mine.

Without saying a word Gage grabbed the bottom of my sweater and went to pull it off. With my lip in-between my teeth I raised my arms above my head. Underneath my sweater I had on a see-through bra that I put on just for Gage. I had planned on giving him a present tonight once the kids had gone to bed.

I watched as his jaw clenched and his eyes widen. He hadn't expected me to wear such a tiny, thin, sexy bra underneath. He was in for a real surprise once he took my bottoms off.

"You are so fucking beautiful." Gage murmure before bringing his hand around my back and unclasping my bra in a matter of seconds.

The moment his mouth touched my breast I was done for. My eyes closed, my legs moved to wrap around his waist, and my hands gripped the back of his head. I found myself grinding my core against the front of his pants, which did little to help the pulsing down there.

Gage continued on feasting on my breasts for a good 3 minutes before I some common sense kicked in.

"T-the kids presents." I rasped.

"Later." Gage drew his head away from my chest and sent me a smirk. "That can wait until after I am done ravishing you." His hands suddenly grabbed my ass and lifted me off the counter. Letting out a quiet yelp I held onto him, pressing my bare chest against his.

"I get my present first." Planting one more kiss on my lips, Gage turned and headed for the stairs. I could not stop the grin on my face as he went up the stairs two at a time.

In no time he was pushing our bedroom door open and kicking it shut. The next moment I was being thrown in the air until I landed on the bed with a bounce. Gage didn't waste a second before he was once again on me.

Smiling against his lips I ran my fingers down his muscular back, feeling every little bump and ridge. Using the tips of my nails I scratched down his back which earned me a groan and a shiver.

Gage trailed kisses down my neck to my chest before going lower. Closing my eyes I laid back in the bed, letting Gage take over. The little scruff he had on his face tickled down my stomach. I felt his fingers tease the edge of my pants.


"Gage." I groaned. I heard his chuckle as he kept on teasing me. I lifted my hips up demanding him to continue. I wasn't in the mood to tease anymore.

My breathing came out in pants as he finally pulled my pants off. When I didn't hear or feel anything I opened my eyes and moved up onto my forearms. I found Gage in-between my legs an unreadable look on his face.

"Gage?" Thinking something was wrong I started to sit up but his hands gripping my thighs made me stop. His grip was firm as he kept my legs spread and his eyes stuck to my core.

"All mine." He growled. When he glanced up at me I grinned, forcing my legs wider and pushing my hips up. Understanding where I was going he flashed me a grin before grabbing my see through panties and tugging them off.

Before I could feel embarrassed laying bare for him he dropped his head to my core. As I started to moan loudly I covered my mouth not wanting to wake the kids.

For the next few minutes Gage brought me to multiple highs. My legs shook, my hands gripped his hair tightly, and I couldn't stop moaning. Eventually I had to push him away so I could breathe again.

"Oh god." I panted heavily. Below me Gage sat back on his heels with a deep smirk on his face. Forever the cocky one.

It took me a few minutes to come back down to earth. I was tingling everywhere. Moving up onto my forearms I met Gage's eyes. Not breaking eye contact he moved to the end of the bed and started on pulling his pants down. I watched hungrily as he pulled them off leaving him in his boxers.

Licking my lips I moved a bit towards him. With a knowing smirk plastered on his face he tugged his boxers off leaving him bare. My eyes widened a fraction as I looked at him, all these years still surprised by the size from him.

Moving up onto my knees I reached a hand out to touch him, only for Gage to grab my wrist.

"Later. Right now I can't stand another second without being in you." As much as I wanted to pleasure him I was feeling the same way. Clenching my thighs at the thought of what we would do later, I motioned for Gage to lay on his back.

In a matter of seconds Gage was laying on his back on the bed and I was straddling his lap. With his hands on my hips I lowered myself down, gasping as I went. When I was fully down on him I stopped to catch my breath.

Looking down at Gage I found him already looking back at me. A huge smile formed on my face as I leaned my upper body down. With my hands on his chest I paused inches from his face.

"I love you Gage."

"Love you too Princess."

"MOM! DAD! GET UP!"

Grunting as something heavy landed on my back I slowly peeked my eyes open. Beside me I heard Gage groan as another kid pounced on him. As I slowly woke up I heard all three kids yelling at us to get up and jumping around on our bed.

I was beyond thankful that Gage and I got dressed before we passed out last night. It was a very long, amazing night for the two of us.

"Okay, okay we are up." Gage grunted.

"Santa came!" Charlie practically screamed. I had forgotten what Christmas morning was like. We had a rule in the house that the kids had to come to our room before we could go downstairs because if not they would be down there opening all the presents without us.

"Mom come on, hurry." Julian, my sweet little boy, patted my shoulder.

"Let me go wipe my face and we can go." With the kids cheering I slid out of bed on wobbly feet. I had a secret smile on my face as I headed for the bathroom, knowing why I was so weak kneed today.

Behind me Gage was doing something to make someone squeal. Shaking my head at the craziness, I shut the bathroom door. Having little kids it was next to impossible to go to the bathroom alone. I had only been in the bathroom for a minute before the knocking started. I wouldn't put it past Gage to be encouraging them to do it.

As I finished wiping my face something caught my eye. Noticing the giant hickey on my neck I shook. I was wondering why Gage was spending a lot of time there last night. Thinking about last night made me beam and my legs clench together. It was incredible like always.

Opening the door I found all three kids and a shirtless Gage standing at the door, excited smiles on their faces. My eyes immediately landed on the three hickeys on Gage's neck and chest. Smirking I sent him a look to which he returned, no doubt seeing the one on my neck I was unable to hide.

"Let daddy use the bathroom and we will go downstairs."

With Gage in the bathroom I sat on the bed and was instantly surrounded by the all three kids. All at once they started talking excitedly.


"Do you think Santa left a ton of presents?"


"Did he eat all the cookies? I hope he liked them."

"I hope I got everything on my list!"

I laughed as they talked a million miles an hour. Today was going to be a crazy day and with everyone else coming over later with their presents the kids were going to go nuts. It didn't help that Dylan and Ethan loved to spoil the kids with presents.

The moment Gage came out of the bathroom Julian and Aiden launched themselves at him. Charlie tugged on my arm as she started for the door. It didn't take long to reach the stairs as the kids tugged us towards them.

"Please?" They all said at once as we stopped at the top. Gage and I shared a look before nodding.

With screams that probably woke the whole neighborhood the kids ran down the stairs towards their presents. After Gage's and I's late night we managed to finish with the presents before passing out.

Chuckling at all the noises the kids were making as they found their gifts from Santa, I grabbed Gage's hand. Hand in hand we went down the stairs until we reached the living room.

Each kid was looking in their stockings and the gifts we had placed next to them, most of them were unwrap-able anyways. My heart swelled at the looks on their faces.

"Merry Christmas Carter." Gage whispered softly by my side, his fingers squeezing mine. Looking up at him I knew I couldn't have asked for a better husband and family.

"Merry Christmas Gage."
