Glancing up, Lennon quickly reads the room. “What’s going on?” she asks with a raised eyebrow.

“We have another gift for you,” I tell her as I sit next to her.

Turner leans forward in his chair and nods. “We wanted to do something special, so on the tree is an I.O.U. from each of us. You can cash in on this whenever you’d like. Some are a little self-serving,” he chuckles.

“I didn’t even notice the extra ornaments,” she smirks as she turns. Now that she knows to look, she immediately picks them out, removing them from the branches.

“So what do they say?” Roark asks her. We each kept our counsel about what we were writing, and now my curiosity is killing me.

“Turner’s says that he wants to help me write lyrics, while he calls me his very good girl as I ride his cock,” Lennon giggles as she reads. I roll my eyes because of course he wrote that.

“I care about your songwriting, and you always sing so pretty when you cum,” Turner says with a lazy grin.

The ornaments are already doing what I wanted them to. Drawing her legs underneath her on the couch, she snuggles under her new blanket as she reads the next one.

“Roark’s ornament is a vacation… in Ireland?” Lennon squeals. Holy fuck.

“Why not? You love the history of the country, and I know you’ve been wanting to go. We’ll take everyone, though I claim a night to kidnap you to enjoy my favorite places in Dublin. My grandmother talked about the cliffs of Mohr, and I never had a chance to visit before I left,” Ror says sadly. “I propose at least a month-long trip. We’ll work it out with Jordan.”

“You and your proposals,” I grumble even as my lips twitch.

“Aye, baby Derek. We can’t all have this much game, can we?” Roark teases. Orion snickers as Ror takes a page from his ribbing. It was pretty perfect.

Shaking my head, I gesture for Lennon to continue. “I can’t wait,” she says with a grin. “Next, is Orion. His present is to draw me while naked. I can’t wait for this. Thank you!”

Lennon is showing more enthusiasm for these than she did her other presents, and I relax by her feet on the floor. All I want is for her to be happy. I’ll bend over backwards to keep the demons I created away from my beautiful girl.

She’s not broken, she’s perfect.

“And last but not least, Derek,” Lennon says as she turns it over. She reads it twice before looking up. There’s excitement in her gaze, and I can tell she’s turned on as she rubs her thighs together. “Seriously?”

“What is he giving you, Lenny?” Roark asks as he watches her. “You have more color in your cheeks now, and you look very turned on, will your pussy be wet?”

“Yes,” she whimpers, biting her lip. “It is, Sir.”

Holy fuck. Her pupils are blown and she’s very aroused.

“Tell us what he’s giving you, Lavender,” Turner purrs. He lazily strokes his cock along the outside of his jeans, and I squirm on the floor.

“I told her that she could peg me at a time of her choosing,” I murmur. “I’m completely yours, Baby Girl. You are my beautiful wife, the Mistress of my heart.”

“Derek,” she whispers as I pull her down from the couch and into my arms on the floor. “I love you. Are you sure?”

“Yep. The last couple of months have been rough and out of your control. I want to see you take it back,” I tell her.

Turner smirks as I recall his words, realizing what my plan was all along.

“I really want to cash in on this now, but I want to take my time,” she sighs, kissing my chin. “The babies are going to wake up soon.”

Turner picks up his phone and shoots off a text, grinning wildly when someone responds. “How do you feel about our neighbors babysitting? Mama Rodriguez was incredibly vexed that she couldn’t snuggle the babies for longer,” he tells her.

“It’s Christmas, isn’t it rude to ask them to babysit? They probably have plans…”

“Deme esos niños,”Mama Rodriguez croons as she walks into the living room. Miguel smirks behind his mother as he follows her. His mother is very ready for baby time.

“Oh, are you sure?” Lennon asks, eyes wide from my lap.

“Si.Come pick them up later. Miguel, get their milk and diaper bag,” Mama Rodriguez commands.
