Coming Home For Christmas

“Lacey” I'say my baby's name hoping to coax her awake from her deep slumber but it seems she's way too lost in there to be tempted because I've been attempting to wake her up for about ten minutes now and she's not budging “Lacey, baby" I place kisses on her neck as I run my hands all over her body only to have them harshly slapped away by her “Not tonight, Tom, I've got a headache”

“Do you really think my mom can keep me away from the love of my life, babe?...besides, I'm thirty-three years old and we're already married and have been for three glorious and amazing years, so these stupid and old ass traditions need to take a run and jump off the highest cliff" I'say and Lacey laughs “Anyway, I'm here because ['ve got a surprise for you" “A surprise?" Lacey asks shocked as she looked over at her phone “Logan, it's three o'clock in the morning”

“T know" Isay with a smile as I pull the blankets away from Lacey's body “Babe please, I'm tired” Chapter 9 - Midnight Rendezvou. ad Lacey whines and I chuckle “Tknow you are, baby just trust me, it won't take long and you can go back to sleep in a little bit" My wife looked hesitant at first but then she sighed and gave in “Ok, fine" "That's my girl" Lacey put on her slippers and grabbed her robe as we left our room

We had to be careful as we walked through the big, silent house because everyone is asleep and my mom is like a freaking car alarm, that's how much of a light sleeper she is and I'm not even kidding You only have to breathe gently near my mom and she's up and alert like a damn meerkat “Babe, where are we going?" Lacey asks while yawning f+, she's so adorable Ithought to myself as I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to me

“Be patient, my love" Lacey huffed and I kissed her temple Ilove this woman to death, impatience and all Lacey and I headed out of the mansion and we were immediately hit with the night's chill but it wasn't that bad even though my wife was acting like we were in Antarctica not Italy “Logan, where are we..." Lacey was once again about to moan when a different set of moans interrupted her

“Oh yes, oh yes, harder, f**k me harder" Oh my god

Tlooked towards my wife whose eyes had widened, her mouth was gaped open and she looked both horrified and disgusted at the same time, not that I can blame her We both then narrowed our eyes towards a very familiar white yacht and let me tell you this, it's not mine or Klayton's “Logan..please, tell me that's not who I think it is" Lacey asked barely above a shocked whisper "I can't, babe, I." “Oh yes, Bunny, ride me my wild little rabbit"

"Fuke, Duke" What the fk? “I think I'm gonna be sick” “Oh come on, babe, s*x is normal® I'say with a chuckle and Lacey looked at me like what the f**k? “Logan, my grandparents are in their eighties, s*x shouldn't be normal for them, if anything it should be non-existent” “I hope not, babe, I'm planning on exiting this world with either you on top of me or me on top of you"

Tsay with a smirk “Oh my god" Lacey groans while rolling her eyes “That's it, like that Duke, harder, spank me harder" Holy s**t Duke and Bunny's moans and groans got louder and more Chapter 9 - Midnight Rendezvou. ~) profanity-laced and I could tell it was scarring my wife which I couldn't allow

There's no way in hell I'm gonna allow my grandparents-in-law to destroy my amazing s*x life with Lacey because they wanna get freaky and kinky out in the open “Come on, babe, let's go before your grandparents put you off s*x forever" I quickly grab Lacey's hand and drag her away towards our boat We got on it and headed towards the middle deck where I had a couple of my staff set up the couch bed for us and also light some candles as well “Babe, what's going on? why are we on our boat?” “I wanted to spend some time alone with you, that's all”

Isay as let out a breath and look at my wife “The past three years have been so manic and stressful for us, there hasn't been a single day where something isn't going on or where we don't have to attend something or plan or arrange something and we're always busy with either work or with the kids that we very rarely have time for just us" “What are you talking about, babe? we've spent a lot of time alone together during our trip to Italy” “Yeah, f+*++g each other's brains out, Lace" I'say with a scoff and a chuckle "But we haven't spent any time together just us on our own with

Lacey groans as she snuggles further into her pillow pissing me off This little woman is seriously over here dreaming about Tom Hardy instead of me What the fk? Iwas pissed off and annoyed, so I smacked my wife on her thick, round ass which quickly jolted her awake "OUCH!!..what the..." Lacey spun around and looked at me with an angry expression which quickly turned to a look of confusion when she saw me hunched over her body

no kids, no whips, no chains or restraints" Isaid as I stepped closer to my wife and cupped her face whilst gently caressing her cheeks with my thumbs as I looked her in her eyes Chapter 9 - Midnight Rendezvou. ad 1 just wanna spend some time alone with my baby in my arms without anyone or anything getting in the way" "Well, then what are you waiting for?" Lacey asked with a smile and I smiled back as I kissed her lips I then picked her up bridal style earning an excited squeal from

my baby and led us over to the couch bed which has been set up with some pillows and a blanket I placed my wife on it and we immediately snuggled up together under the blanket, I wrapped my arms around her body and held her close to my chest as we looked out at the view in front of us which even at night is still beautiful and spectacular “Ok, this was worth being woken up for" “Yeah, it was" Isaid with a smile whilst kissing her head

“The only thing that can make this even better is if you were shirtless but I don't want you catching a cold before our wedding” Lacey says and I scoff as I sit up and pull my shirt off and throw it on the floor “It's not that cold, my love” “Youre right, it's not" I once again pulled my wife closer to me and she took a deep inhale as she rested her head against my bare chest We both lay there in a comfortable silence just enjoying each other's company, Lacey was tracing my tattoo with her perfectly manicured fingers as I stroked my fingers through her hair

T actually wanted to talk to Lacey about something but I was feeling a little nervous about it, to be honest with you because I don't wanna upset Chapter 9 - Midnight Rendezvou “] for the actor who played Ronnie Kray more than the one who played Reggie Kray even though they were both played by the same actor" Lacey said whilst looking baffled “It says a lot about my man Tom's dedication to the craft if people think two different actors played the twins” "Your man?" Lask annoyed

"Babe, I'm your man" “Calm down, George Michael, I know" Lacey says while rolling her eyes and chuckling “What are you doing here, anyway? I thought your mom had you under lock and key to keep you away from me until tomorrow" "Please, Lacey" I scoffed “Do you really think my mom can keep me away from the love of my life, babe?...besides, I'm thirty-three years old and we're

already married and have been for three glorious and amazing years, so these stupid and old ass traditions need to take a run and jump off the highest cliff" I'say and Lacey laughs “Anyway, I'm here because ['ve got a surprise for you" “A surprise?"

"Why are you frowning, Logan?" Lacey brought me out of my thoughts as she gently caressed her fingers around the sides of my eyes and in between my eyebrows “I'm not frowning, sweetheart, I'm just thinking” “That's the same thing with you, babe

"You always have this cute little frown on your face or you look like you're serious and mad at the same time when you're lost in a deep thought process” “Baby, I'm a man, we don't do cute, we do rugged and hot and sexy but never cute” I'say with a scoff “Whatever you say, honey but just so you know, our boys look exactly like you so if they're cute then that means you're cute as well” She says whilst pecking my lips “If you say so, babe"

"Ido, so, what's got you thinking so hard?" “Your brother” I'say as I let out a sigh “My brother? what about my brother?" Lacey asks confused and also with a hint of sadness in her voice “He's not here, babe..Luca and his family aren't here to enjoy our day Chapter 9 - Midnight Rendezvou */ with us and they should be" “Yeah, know"

“Well, first of all, babe, I smacked your ass because A) I can and [will Chapter 9 - Midnight Rendezvou whenever and wherever I want to and B) you were too busy dreaming about another man while I was trying to wake you up which pissed me off, so I spanked you for it" [ smirked at my wife who looked at me confused “What are you talking about, Logan? I wasn't dreaming about another man” "Yes you were, love"

Lacey says as she looks away sadly “Tknow he's not here and I'd honestly love nothing more than for my brother to be here for my wedding and have fun and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime moment with all of us but I also know that being here in Italy holds a lot of bad and traumatic memories for him, not to mention, I know how hard he's worked to get to where he is now in his life and I don't wanna ruin all of that for just one day” “That's true, I guess” I say with a sigh “Ireally do wish he was here with Dylan and the kids though, it would make our day even more perfect if they were" Lacey says sadly as she rests her chin on her hand

“If I'm being honest with you, babe, I'm really glad they're not here" "What? why?" Lacey's head shot up as she looked at me with a shocked expression and I looked at her like really? “Seriously babe, who wants their wife's ex at their wedding?" Task her and she rolls her eyes “I never had you pegged as the jealous type, Logan" “I'm not jealous, love, I'm just making a point”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Well, don't because Dylan is my brother-in-law and to be honest with you, babe...there's nothing there anymore, I mean, he's a handsome guy and I can't deny that." “Yeah, you can, you can absolutely deny it, Lacey” Chapter 9 - Midnight Rendezvou * I interrupt her as I glare at her “And while we're talking about handsome men, Tom Hardy is also ugly in your noggin from now and so is Michael B Jordan and that guy from the Barbie movie”

“But Ryan Gosling reminds me a little bit of you, babe" Lacey whines but quickly backs down when she sees my glare “Ok, fine, you're the only handsome and sexy man in my life and head.” “And dreams” Isay and she rolls her eyes “And my dreams” “Good girl" Isay with a smile as I kiss her lips

“Anyway, like I was saying, Dylan is like a brother to me now and it gives me the major ick to think that we were more than that at one point” "So, no regrets?” Lasked her even though I already knew the answer and she was silent for a few seconds as guilt flashed in her beautiful green eyes which Tove so much “Just one and I'll always live with this regret but we agreed that we'd never bring this up again because we can't change it" She says with a smile and I smiled back at her

Tknew that the one thing she was talking about was hiding our kids from me and I know just how badly she feels about this which is why 1 refuse to elaborate any further on what she said Instead, I just kissed her forehead and told her //oved her as 1 rested Chapter 9 - Midnight Rendezvou 4 her head back on my chest “Ilove you too, Logan, more than anything”

The Next Day..

Lacey's POV “Lacey...Lacey principessa, wake up" “Five more minutes, Logan" Itried to shoo my husband's hand away from me but the fucker grabbed it and held it as his other hand caressed my cheek “It's not Logan, principessa” “Well then piss off Klayton before I grab your Glock and aim it at your..."

“Finish that sentence, my little principessa, I dare you" Klayton said followed by several chuckles but what was strange is that Klayton's voice didn't sound like he was close to me but one of the chuckles did What the hell? I opened my eyes and blinked several times to clear them before looking up at the owner of the hand on my cheek

My eyes then widened as tears filled them when I saw who it was “Luca” “Hey there, kid"

“No, T wasn't, why would I dream about another man when my dream man is standing right here in front of me?" She asks whilst smiling at me like the beautiful queen she is

"Do the words not tonight Tom, I've got aheadache ring any bells for you?" “Tom? who the hell is T...oh, that Tom" Lacey had alook of of f**k on her face which made her look so freaking adorable “Yeah, that Tom" Isaid with a growl “So...care to explain to me why you're dreaming about Tom fr+r+g Hardy instead of me your quote-on-quote dream man?"

“Babe, it's all Rachel's fault, she wanted to watch Legend before bed and you know what a sexy man in a suit does for me..OUCH!I" She yelps when I once again smack her ass “Quit smacking my ass, Logan" “Never baby, my hands will always find some excuse to touch that juicy peach of yours and don't you dare blame my sister for your dirty dreams"

“Hmm, I guess you're right, she told me last night that she had a thing Chapter 9 - Midnight Rendezvou for the actor who played Ronnie Kray more than the one who played Reggie Kray even though they were both played by the same actor” Lacey said whilst looking baffled “It says a lot about my man Tom's dedication to the craft if people think two different actors played the twins”

"Your man?" I ask annoyed "Babe, I'm your man" “Calm down, George Michael, I know" Lacey says while rolling her eyes and chuckling “What are you doing here, anyway? I thought your mom had you under lock and key to keep you away from me until tomorrow" “Please, Lacey" I scoffed
