Surviving The Aftermath [Book Three]

I moaned awake as lips trailed along my neck.

"Merry Christmas, Beautiful" my mouth twitched into a smile as I allowed my eyes to flutter open. Kobe's hand ran along my tummy causing my insides to quiver. I rolled onto my back and ran my hand along his cheek, bringing his lips down to meet mine.

"Merry Christmas, Handsome" I mumbled against his lips. Kobe separated my legs and settled himself between them, a moan slipping from the back of my throat as his bulge pressed into my tingling mound. I ran my fingers into his hair, scratching slightly at his scalp as our lips continued to dance together. He ran his hand down my side and began to tug down my sleep shorts. I lifted my ass to make it easier but it just made me press myself harder into his bulge causing us both to groan into the kiss. He detached our lips and began to kiss down my neck, nipping and sucking lightly on my weak spot. I successfully kicked off my shorts, moaning and arching my back as Kobe's fingers slid between my lips. "Fuck" I began to nibble at his shoulder as he dipped his fingers into my wet hole.

"I love you" he pressed his forehead to mine as he replaced his fingers with his cock.

"Shit" I ran my fingers down his back, digging my nails in as he began to move. "Fuck, Kobe" he pressed his lips to mine to help muffle my moans. I locked my legs around his waist and dug my heels into the backs of his thighs. "I love you" I detached our lips, nuzzling my face into his neck as I locked my arms around him. "I love you so much" a lump suddenly formed in my throat as my stomach clenched and my body started to quiver. "Shit" he nibbled on my neck and sucked gently on my earlobe.

"Come with me, Baby" my back arched into him as I lost myself, my body quivering as I hit my high. "Fuck, Baby" his body stiffened, his lips furiously attacking mine as we rode out our highs together. "I love you" he pulled himself from me and dropped down onto the bed beside me as we tried to steady our breathing. I cuddled myself into his side, his fingers running under my shirt and along my spine. I pressed a kiss to his chest, my fingers running gently along his nipple. He pressed a kiss to the top of my head, my eyes falling to the baby monitor as it spiked.

"And baby number 2 is awake" Kobe lightly chuckled as I pulled myself away from him and climbed out of bed, grabbing my shorts and pulling them on. I grabbed my robe and wrapped it around myself, glancing back at Kobe who was just staring at me with this dreamy sort of smile spread across his face. "What?" he just shook his head, his smile widening.

"I-I just-I can't believe how lucky I am" my cheeks burnt as I glanced down.

"Yeah, whatever" he lightly chuckled.

"No, I-I'm serious. I love you so fucking much, DemDem" I chewed on my lower lip as I glanced up at him, my cheeks burning at the nickname.

"I love you too" he adjusted the sheet around his waist and signalled for me to lean down towards him. I lightly giggled as he cupped my chin and pressed his lips to mine. "I'll meet you back in here?" he nodded and pressed another peck to my lips before he released my chin and I turned to leave. I headed into Kyra's room, smiling widely at the sight of her.

"Hi Mama" I lightly giggled as she waved over at me.

"Hi Angel" I lifted her from the crib, and she squealed as I pressed my lips to her cheek. "Let's get your diaper changed and then we'll go and find daddy, okay?" she nodded, dropping her head onto my shoulder as I headed to the changing table. I quickly changed her diaper, every so often pressing a kiss to her cheek causing her to giggle. "You have the most amazing giggle, Ky" I lowered her onto my hip, turning around and I nearly jumped out of my skin at the sight of Ayla. "Jeez, Ayla" she giggled as she walked to me and locked her arms around my legs. "Good morning, Peanut. Did you have a nice sleep?"

"Yeah, Santa?" I ran my fingers gently through her hair.

"I don't know, Baby. Shall we go and see if he's been?" she nodded up at me with a wide smile. "We need to go and get Bebe first, though, okay?" she nodded again and began from the room. I followed behind her with Kyra on my hip. Ayla got to the room first and climbed up onto the bed, attacking Kobe with a hug. He gave her a squeeze causing her to giggle.

"Daddy" Kyra leant to Kobe. He took her from me and she cuddled into him.

"Good morning, my Beautiful Girls" Ayla and Kyra both giggled as Kobe gave them both a squeeze and the sight made my heart melt. I am so thankful for Kobe. I don't know where I would be without him. I'd be a single mother. I'd be alone. I'd be alone with two children.

"Santa?" Ayla pushed herself from Kobe.

"Shall we go and see if he's been?" he stroked his fingers through Ayla's hair in an attempt to tame it. "One very important question though, have you both been good girls?" Ayla nodded, Kyra giggling as she watched her and then copied the action. "Let's go and find out" Ayla turned to me and I lifted her onto my hip, my lips pressing to the top of her head. Kobe climbed out of bed with Kyra and followed me from the room.

"Mommy" Ayla squealed with delight as she pointed to the presents under the tree.

"He did come, Peanut" I gently lowered her to the floor. "Wait for Kyra, Baby" she turned to Kobe who gently lowered Kyra to the floor and my heart melted as she held her hand out for Kyra to take. Kobe wrapped his arm around my neck and pressed a kiss to my temple as I cuddled into his side, watching as my babies wondered towards the tree together.
