A McKenzie Christmas Read online

  If only she knew what to surprise Michael with on Christmas day. He was difficult to buy for and she always struggled. Michael had enough money to buy what he wanted, which was why it made it difficult for Lily to decide. One idea had been to have their children’s first initial engraved onto gold cufflinks. Michael loved to wear his shirts for the office, and he had a mixed-matched selection. She’d have to get a move on though if that was her choice. Everyone would be busy, and she guessed the jewelers would be as well.

  As she walked through the Christmas market, she spotted an old bookstall at the end of the section that she currently walked down. But first, she couldn’t help stopping at the display of Christmas ornaments. She loved the old fashioned ones in red and gold. They’d look amazing on their Christmas tree in the living room. Every time she would sit and look at the tree, she would get tearful at all the Christmases she’d missed. She couldn’t imagine not having the family that she loved and cherished around her—it had been so long since she’d had a family that she felt so blessed to have one now.

  Michael hadn’t just given her his heart when he married her; he’d also given her a large family, which was worth more than he could ever buy her. He knew that, but he loved spoiling his family, especially his wife.

  Lily smiled and handed over the money for her few purchases, and, once she’d put them safely into her purse, she moved on to the bookstall. The man behind the counter sat reading from what looked to be an old book. He glanced up and smiled. “Are you looking for anything in particular?”

  “I’m not really sure,” Lily said as she looked through his titles. “I think maybe a Christmas book. Something to keep that we could read to our children every Christmas Eve.” She glanced at the man and shrugged. “It needs to be something special.”

  “Hmm. Well, let me look.” He stood and started to root through a box on the counter.

  Lily moved over to watch him and smiled when she recognized some of the titles: Heidi, The Gingerbread Man, A Night Before Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and, of course, there had to be, Christmas on Forty-Second Street. In the end, Lily chose an old edition of a Hans Christian Anderson book, The Little Match Girl, for when the children were older, and, for now, she chose, The Snowman by Raymond Briggs.

  “I’d like these two, please.” Lily passed her selections over to the man and watched as he wrapped them in old Christmas paper.

  “Here you go.” He passed them to Lily who exchanged her money for them.

  “Thank you so much.” She smiled as she clutched her purchases closely. They were perfect and she planned on leaving them beneath the tree after the children bathed on Christmas Eve so Michael could read to them.

  She had a feeling that her husband would be delighted with the tradition that she wanted to start. Christmas before her parents had died had been a huge affair and all the family knew to just show up, and they did. She hadn’t experienced a big family Christmas again, until she met Michael.

  With thoughts of Michael whirling around in her head, she knew it was time to head home to her family.

  Since Michael had walked inside Victoria’s Secret with his brothers, they’d been watched. Not just by the staff but the other women who were shopping in the store. They weren’t the only guys inside. He’d never had a problem being inside the store before so he had no idea what his problem was this time. Then, as he turned around, it hit him that it was because he was here with Sebastian and Ruben. Lucien was due to arrive for the holidays the following day with his wife and son, Alexander. Ramon had asked why would he want something from Victoria’s Secret so he hadn’t come. As Michael watched Sebastian hold up panties in various colors, his brother looked to be really enjoying himself, he had to smile.

  “Hey, Michael,” Sebastian shouted, “you should get Lily some of these, but if you’re into ripping them off her, you should probably go for the cheaper version.” He grinned.

  Michael felt a blush coat his cheekbones and quickly caught the pair of pink panties that Sebastian tossed to him.

  He shook his head and laughed. “Behave, before you get us thrown out of here.”

  Sebastian rolled his eyes. “They won’t throw us out when they want us to spend our money.”

  Deciding it might be best to ignore his brother, Michael glanced around for Ruben and caught him in one corner looking at the babydoll dresses. Well, at least one of his brothers had the right idea.

  Lily loved receiving something from Victoria’s Secret, and normally, he wouldn’t have a problem, but her boobs were at least twice the size that they used to be before she was pregnant so he didn’t really know what size to get her anymore. Oh, he knew her bra size, thanks to his snooping, but that didn’t say small, medium or large.

  His gaze soon landed on a model that wore a one piece but the cups of her bra gapped.

  He found himself standing in front of a rack of them in various sizes. He picked up a medium and made sure the cups of the bra really did split apart before he decided to make the purchase. That of course was how his brothers found him; his fingers wiggled through the gap.

  “That’s hot,” Sebastian commented. “I need one of those for Carla.”

  Michael glanced at Sebastian and he laughed as he saw the basket, brimming with underwear, in Sebastian’s arms. “You destroy all your wife’s things?”

  Sebastian grinned. “Nearly.” He walked away whistling, and continued to add more to what he already had.

  “He’ll never grow up,” Ruben commented with a grin across his face. “You only getting that now?”

  “I’m not sure about this.” He held the sexy lingerie up to the window while his brother and him looked on. Imagining Lily wearing it while he stood in the store wasn’t the wisest thing he’d ever done. He quickly held the basket in front of his lap and dropped the bit of lace inside. “I’m getting it. Now for more.”

  As he walked off, he watched Ruben pick up the same item and drop it into his basket. So it appeared the outfit hadn’t only affected him.

  “I’ve got some other stuff to do so I’ll see you later.” Sebastian didn’t give him time to reply before he was off, weighed down with bags.

  Sebastian had been acting weird for a couple of days. As though he had a secret that he was desperate to share, but couldn’t. He’d think more on that at some point.

  It didn’t take Michael long to fill up his basket with panties, bras, stockings, perfume, room spray, and all the other stuff that he knew Lily would love. Last year, he’d only bought her a few items from Victoria’s Secret, but he knew how much she loved lingerie, which was why he’d gone to town. He’d pack the one piece, though, for their night away.

  He wouldn’t be able to wait to get her in it and while Christmas was usually fun, it was also hectic so it would be a little while before he could see her in what he bought her. Instead of waiting until then, while he had her all to himself, he wanted to savor her.

  “Lily, we can call again.” Michael knew Lily was having a difficult time relaxing because she felt lost without Sirena in her arms.

  “No. Your mom has our numbers as well as the one for the hotel, so I’m sure she’ll call if there’s a problem.” She smiled and her whole face lit up. “No matter how much I fret, I want you to know it means so much to me that we are alone tonight. I’ve missed you so much.”

  “Oh, babe.” Michael pulled her into his arms and held her close. He’d planned on taking her out to dinner, but if they carried on, dinner would be room service much later in the evening. “I’ve always been right in front of you, just like you have with me.”

  Michael picked Lily up into his arms and stepped back to drop onto the sofa in their hotel suite. “Lily, I love you. I know things have been difficult with having three kids under three, but I’m not going anywhere. You’ll always have me even when I’m a frustrated dick.”

  Lily started to chuckle, which eventually turned into a fit of laughter. “Frustrated dick. Do you get it?”

>   Michael grinned, and admitted, “Well, I guess that was an accurate description.”

  “Let’s not go out and eat. I want to stay here with no one else around. I want to make love all night.”

  Michael was certainly up for that.

  “I have something for you,” he admitted. His dick ached with just the thought of seeing Lily in the lace he’d bought.

  “An early Christmas present?” Lily sat up, her eyes sparkled as they widened when she felt the rock beneath her bottom.

  Lily wiggled as he gripped her hips and held her still. “I want you so badly that a few more wiggles and I’ll come in my pants.”

  “Mmm.”

  “Lily,” he growled and put her on her feet. Michael followed and retrieved his gift from where he’d hidden it in his overnight bag.

  He held it, with one finger, out to Lily, who had a secret smile on her lips as she took it from him.

  “I’ll change in the bathroom.”

  Michael sighed in relief once his wife was out of view. He hadn’t lied about coming in his pants. He was so hard that Lily was lucky he hadn’t tackled her to the floor.

  While she was in the bathroom, he made quick work of his clothes and sprawled out on top of the bed to wait for her in his naked glory.

  His cock throbbed for relief, and his arousal dripped from the plump crown to his stomach. He was half tempted to rub one off before she appeared so that he had some control. He knew it would only take a few strokes before he came.

  Too late, though.

  The door opened slowly before Lily stood unsure in the doorway to the bathroom, her arms across her chest.

  Michael smiled, and tried to hold himself in check at the sight of his beautiful wife. She made his heart beat wildly in his chest and his dick jerked as though an electric shock had struck it. Very soon, Lily was going to find out just how desperate he was for her when he came all over himself without a touch.

  He closed his eyes, but that didn’t calm him. If anything, it made him worse. So when he snapped his eyes open and saw Lily still in the doorway, he said, “Let your arms drop. I want to see all of you.”

  She hesitated, biting her lip before she dropped her arms.

  He couldn’t catch his breath as Lily bared her breasts to him and walked forward. They swayed as she walked, her nipples large, dark cherries, hard and prominent. He couldn’t move his eyes as his dick bounced with excitement.

  He was about to come.

  He scooted to the end of the bed, reached for Lily, and impaled her. The head of his dick hit her cervix—he was that deep. He still couldn’t catch his breath, and, as Lily pressed her breasts against his chest, he started to come. His hands flexed on Lily’s hips as he ground up into her. His jizz wouldn’t stop, and then he felt Lily’s walls as they rippled along his length. She gasped and started moaning into his neck as her orgasm claimed her. She milked him and didn’t let up until one last burst of jizz shot out. They collapsed against each other as she kissed his jaw.

  “Wow. We were both starved, huh?” Lily giggled.

  “Fuck me,” Michael murmured as he held his wife tightly in his arms.

  He was still hard inside her, and, with some maneuvering, he managed to get them further up the bed with his dick still buried in his wife’s hot sheath.

  *

  As he loomed over her, he gently rocked back and forth, creating a delicious friction inside her. Lily had no idea that Michael had been so turned on that he would come the minute he was buried deep. For that matter, she’d had no idea that she was that ready to come with him.

  She’d been surprised at the outfit Michael had bought her, but she shouldn’t have been really because he loved her teasing him. The outfit certainly did that with the split cups over her breasts. She was lucky because her breasts had stayed firm even though they’d grown drastically since she’d been pregnant with Sirena. Of course, they held milk for their daughter, but Michael was a breast man so, no doubt, they did things to him that he’d never admit to her, or would he?

  “I take it you like the outfit.” She grinned up at him.

  “Yes,” he croaked, his eyes fixed on her breasts that still burst free of the outfit.

  She laughed and her eyes sparkled with mischief as she teased him. She licked her finger before she traced a path down to her nipple and flicked it over the sensitive flesh. Lifting both arms, she stared into his eyes as she cupped the large globes with her hands. Her thumbs rubbed back and forth over her engorged nipples, drawing a moan from her as she did. They felt wet, which told her some milk leaked, but it felt too good to stop. Her channel fluttered around Michael’s thick shaft while she continued to tease him, but it wasn’t long before he lost control and dipped his head to sample her nipples for himself.

  “I have months of built up lust for you, dear wife. I hope you’re ready for me.” He swirled a tongue around one of her nipples as he slid a hand under her ass; he held her against him as he thrust.

  She groaned and tried to control her breathing, but with Michael setting her senses on fire, she had no chance, but she wouldn’t go over alone. Her hands reached out, her fingers tangled in his hair while he continued to lap at her breasts.

  Lily wrapped her legs around his waist and thrust her hips up into him. Michael growled and met her gaze.

  “I love you.” He reared up and wrapped her in his arms as he slowed his pace. “No matter what. No matter how much time goes between us making love, I love you. Always.”

  Lily felt tears fill her eyes at her husbands beautiful words. That’s what she needed to hear, and he didn’t let her down.

  He bent and kissed the tears away, but never stopped moving slowly inside her.

  Lily reached up and cupped his face in her hands. “You’re always in my thoughts even when I’m so tired from spending all day with the children. You’re my heart, Michael.”

  “Damn straight.” He sealed their lips together in a kiss that said more than his words would ever say.

  Then he made love to his wife for the rest of the night.

  Chapter 2

  Sebastian & Carla

  Carla sighed as she glanced around the room, a feeling of pride washing over her. Their cabin looked festive now that they’d spent a couple of days putting up the tree and decorations. She felt happy. Like really happy. For the first time in a few years, her brother, Noah, would be around to celebrate the holiday with her. So not only would she have her husband, Sebastian, and his family on Christmas Day, but she’d have what was left of her own family.

  Nothing was going to prevent them from having the perfect Christmas. Last Christmas had been perfect with Sebastian, but this year, she wouldn’t have to worry about whether her brother was still breathing.

  Sebastian made her feel like she could do anything that she set her mind to, and he encouraged her like no other. Most of the time he acted like a big kid, but he was her big kid and she loved him.

  Her husband was currently messing about up in the attic space of their cabin. She loved the sprawling ranch-style house, but because of the wooden exterior, she couldn’t bring herself to call it a house. She preferred to call it a cabin.

  He was up to something though. All her presents had been placed under the tree before she even had one decoration on the green spruce. But he was acting weird for want of a better word. It was as though he had a secret or a surprise that was killing him to keep to himself. She knew he was a pain in the ass when he knew something that no one else did. But this time, she felt as though it was more.

  He’d actually used the excuse of finding more Christmas decorations as his reasoning to go into the attic this time. She just didn’t believe him and knew that, before long, she’d have him pinned down, naked and wild with lust for her. And when she did, she’d withhold until he admitted what was going on with him. She wasn’t really a tease because Sebastian didn’t usually hold on too long for her to tease him. But she could do it. She hoped. She’d have fun doing it as wel
l.

  “Hey, babe. Look what I found?” Sebastian walked into their living room and Carla laughed as she looked at her husband. He looked like a ghost with all the dust that coated his clothes.

  Carla couldn’t make out what he showed her so she crossed the room and peered into her husband’s arms. With a closer look, she saw that he held a kitten.

  “Please tell me you didn’t find that little thing in the attic.” Carla took the kitten from Sebastian and cuddled it close. The little meows it gave tugged at her heartstrings.

  “No. I didn’t find anything up there but rubbish.” He wouldn’t meet her gaze. “I went to put some of it outside and found this one in a tree.”

  “Oh, no. I bet you’re hungry,” Carla muttered away to the kitten as she went to hunt for some milk. She didn’t have any cat food, but she could get some later. They ate meat though, so she was sure Sebastian wouldn’t mind sharing his beef fillet with the little thing.

  *****

  While he watched Carla tend to the kitten he found, he sighed in relief that he had something to distract her with. She was on to him and knew that he was up to something. He hated that he kept something from her, but the woman was clueless sometimes. All she had to do was open her eyes.

  He grinned as Carla stood in front of him with the kitten curled up in her hand and he wiggled his brows at her. “So what name have you given it?”

  She narrowed her eyes. “Are you sure you found this in a tree?”
