CARINA

Epilogue PART 2: MERRY CHRISTMAS

Mackenzie's POV

THE three men went out to grill the meat whilst Ambra and Jay looked after the kids. Elerra,Eleanor and I went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. When we all finished, we ate and talked some more until evening.

Dante, Adriano and Enzo went out to enjoy their drinks as the kids and us sat in the halls. When it almost hit twelve, Eleanor asked me to go and get the men

When I almost got to the patio, I heard them talking. I didn't mean to eavesdrop but their voices were loud so I stopped and listened to them

"Remember when you both didn't believe in love?" Adriano asked

"Merda! That feels like it was so long ago" Enzo laughed (Shit!)
"Dante thought love fell from the sky. And we even made a fucking deal that Dante will only fall in love if I managed to fall in love too"

"Mm" Dante said simply and brought his glass of alcohol to his lips

"Turns out you were the first to fall in love" Adriano told him

"That isn't true" Dante denied and I laughed lightly looking at his pouty face

"Can you say you didn't like Kenz when you first saw her at the restaurant?" Enzo challenged and Dante went quiet. He looked at both of them and took a sip of his alcohol again "That's what I thought"

"You liked her enough to want to marry her in just two weeks of meeting her. You were even scared I might have liked her and beat the shit out of me" It was Adriano's turn to tease him

"Shut the fuck up, both of you" Dante cussed and that made them laugh more.

I walked the rest of the way to them and when Dante saw me, his angry expression switched immediately to a happy face. I stood in front of him with a smile but he pulled me down on his lap and buried his face in my neck.

His beard tickled my skin but I didn't complain because I was loving it so I only giggled, forgetting there were other people present until Adriano spoke

"How can you be lovey-dovey with Kenz when we're around but ban me from doing so with my wife when you're around?"

"Your wife is my sister and I don't want to see that. Maybe you should have married someone who wasn't my sister" Enzo laughed and Adriano only sighed in defeat

"Eleanor called you boys in. It's almost time" I informed them and they nodded before going inside

Dante held my waist when I was going to stand up "I need a refill of energy so please give me two more minutes" I smiled and pulled him even closer to me

We went in right after they started to countdown and when they finished, everyone went to hug themselves and no one even hugged me after they wished me because of a certain someone who had a tight grip on me.

We sat down as everyone was eager to open their presents. Some laughed as they unwrapped their presents and others cried due to the sentimental value of the gifts

They all turned to Dante and I when they were done "What?" I asked and looked at them suspiciously

"What will you be gifting Dante this year?" Ambra asked and they all nodded

"You always give him the best presents every Christmas. Unlike my husband who gives me handcuffs, dildos and sexual gifts every year" Jay muttered looking at the leather collar and nipple clamps in his hands and playfully growled at his husband. Enzo only smiled sheepishly

"Papa, what's a dildo?" Elio asked Enzo and we all looked at him with wide eyes. This was the reason why Dante always refused to let them babysit the twins but the children liked their uncles very much and loved to spend time with them
