“They are waiting for you.”
I pull her into my arms, my lips press against hers, sweeping my tongue into her delicious mouth. I slide my hands up her sides, cupping her breasts, teasing her nipples through her clothes. “They can wait. I need to feel you.” I lean in, nipping that spot just below her ear, knowing that she won’t be able to say no much longer. A soft moan leaves her lips, causing my cock to harden. Fuck, I want her.
“Theron. Stop. You can have me after they’re in bed.” She pulls out of my reach, holding her hand out for me. “Come on, God, time to say goodnight.”
“Am I your God, beautiful?”
“Always.” She leads me from the nursery and down the hall to a bedroom full of giggles. I push open the door, catching both of them off guard. It always takes me a minute to catch my breath when I see them. If it makes me a push over then that is fine, but I have never felt more of man than when I am with my family.
Matthew Thomas is the oldest. I am still not a fan of his middle name, but Eve wouldn’t budge. Something about how good things can still come from darkness, I still don’t understand it. He is quick to jump into bed, as if I didn’t just catch him wrestling with his brother. They both have Eve’s beautiful brown locks. Matthew has her eyes and her stubbornness, too. Andrew is the spitting image of me. He even has my eyes, one brown and one green. Eve tells him that they are magical. It is a load of shit, but all of them believe it. Andrew is our youngest, for now. The boys and I are going to be in a world of trouble when Isabella arrives in the next few months. There is already little bits of pink being spread about. Hell, the nursery looks as if a fairy princess already lives in there. It is going to be amazing.
I get both of the boys tucked in and Matthew asks for a story. I know that it is just a ploy, he would do anything to get out of going to sleep, but I play along.
“Once upon a time, there was a lonely prince.”
“Eww, dad. Not this story. They always kiss at the end.” Matthew scrunches up his face in disgust.
“There’s nothing wrong with kissing.”
“Yeah. My friend Justin, at school, he says all the girls have germs. That’s just disgusting.” I shake my head in laughter. I swear the things these kids say are just too damn funny sometimes.
“You may think kissing is gross right now, but you’ll like it when you’re older.”
“Nope. I’m never going to do it. Me and Andrew promised that we are never, ever doing that. Didn’t we, Andrew?”
“Yeah, that’s icky.”
“Alright fine, but you’re missing out on a great story. A princess comes along and saves the prince. He loved her so much, he made her queen of all the kingdom, and they lived happily ever after.” I look over at Eve. She always blushes when I tell them that story.
“Whatever. Night, dad.”
“Night boys. I love you.”
“Love you, too!” They both yell out, as I walk out of the room, taking their mom with me. I pull her with me into our bedroom, gently laying her down on our bed.
“It’s true, you know.”
“What is?”
“The story that I always tell the boys.”
“Tell it to me.”
I lay on my pillow, pulling her close to me. “Once upon a time, there was a prince named, Theron. He was lost and all alone. One day he met a beautiful princess named, Eve. Her beauty was so magnificent, even the angels were jealous. She loved Theron so much and he was never lost or alone again. So, in return for her love, he loved her more than anything in the world and made her Queen of all the kingdom. They had three beautiful children and lived happily ever after in a castle at the top of the hill.”
“I like that story, but you left some parts out.”
“I know. It was the short version, the longer one takes too long and right now I just want to bury myself inside of you.” I softly place a kiss just under her ear, in that spot that I know she can’t say no to. She sighs, and melts into me. This is amazing. Nothing can be better than this. I look down at my wife lying beside me. Never in a million years could I have imagined how great life can be.
