A Christmas to Love You
 
    “CC,” Hunter yells up the stairs. I pull a shirt over my head quickly trying to get dressed. I should have been up two hours ago but my remarkable husband let me sleep in since he had today off and now I’m rushing around trying to get out of the house so we can go Christmas shopping for the kids. His mom, Sadie, said that she would come over and watch them for us so we can try and finish up. We won’t get it all done but at least we can finish the kids and then all we will have to worry about are my parents and his mom.
    “Coming,” I yell back looking under the bed for my other black knee high boot but it’s not there. “Damn it.” I mutter to myself climbing to my feet and hobbling with my one boot on over to the closet.
    “Ugh,” I say throwing shoes over my shoulder to Hunter’s side of the closet. It now officially looks like a tornado came through here. “Where the hell is it?” I say throwing the last shoe over my shoulder. I sit down on my ass and lean against the dresser in defeat. “I know I saw it in here.”
    I hear giggling behind me and turn my head to find my sexy as sin husband holding our daughter in his arms with one of her little legs in my boot.
    “Looking for this?” Hunter says with a smirk on his face holding our daughter’s leg out in front of him.
    “Seriously?” I know I should have checked Olivia’s room, the one-year-old diva herself is already stealing my shoes. Huffing, I look around my closet at the mess I’ve made.
    Hunter chuckles and it sends tingles down my spine, annoyance quickly fades away. “She came crawling into the living room with it on. I figured since you weren’t down there yet and I could hear stomping around that you were probably looking for it.”
    I slip the boot off of Olivia’s little leg and start to tickle her. “You little munchkin, you’re going to make your mommy go crazy.”
    Olivia laughs and wiggles away from me. Hunter lifts her and puts her on his shoulders. “Don’t worry, princess, daddy will save you.”
    I roll my eyes and push Hunter away. “Don’t worry daddy will save you.” I mock him.
    He laughs. “Jealous, baby?”
    “Ha, jealous? Never. I got my baby boy downstairs.” I pick up my boot and slip it on then grab my jacket off the bed. I should probably make the bed but then think better of it and decide to say screw it and leave it a mess.
    Ryder comes running into our room. “Where you goin’?” Ryder asks.
    I reach down picking Ryder up. “Mommy and daddy are running out for a little bit. Grandma Sadie is going to stay with you.”
    The doorbell dings at the perfect time. “See, there she is now. Want to go let her in?”
    Ryder squirms until I let him down and then the second his feet hit the floor he is running to the door. Thankfully, he hasn’t figured out that you have to unlock both the handle and deadbolt before the door will open but I have to give him an A for effort as he tries.
    I glance over my shoulder and see that sexy as hell dimple on Hunter’s right cheek as he smirks at me knowing full well that I just got dissed by my baby boy for excitement of seeing his grandma who will smother him and spoil them both rotten the entire time she is here.
    I huff. “Are you ready yet?”
    Hunter sets Olivia down on the bed and stalks over to me where he takes my jacket from my arms and holds it out for me to slip my arms into it. Hunter turns me around to face him. Those bright blue eyes of his turns me to mush. He reaches down and zippers my jacket for me then leans down and right before he kisses me he whispers. “I’m always ready for you, CC, and if mom hadn’t just shown up, I’d show you exactly how quickly I can get you ready.”
    And now I need to change my panties. With my heart thumping erratically he kisses me, the slow, drugging kisses that I fucking love. Our sex life has been pretty non-existent now that we have a two year old and an almost one year old. I wouldn’t change a second of
