A/N: Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!
Tobias's POV:
"Wanna go for a swim?" I ask my wife, who is snuggled up in my arms under the thick covers.
"In the freezing cold? No, thanks. I'd rather stay here all day with my husband." Tris murmurs.
"All day? You're very presumptuous, love." I chuckle.
"Mmm. I have big plans for you, Mr. Eaton." She whispers into my ear.
"Is that so?" I take her earlobe between my teeth and gently tug on it. "I'm at your mercy, Mrs. Eaton. Do whatever you want with me."
We spend the next hour in each other's arms, making love all over the small lake house. One minute I'm teasing her on the bed, the next I'm thrusting into her in front of the fireplace, and then we are writhing together under the hot shower, making each other moan.
It's Christmas week, and we decided it would be good to spend some quality time away from home and work. I found this cozy house just a few hours from the city. It stands on a beautiful land with a lovely lake surrounding it.
Inside is just as beautiful, a spacious room with tall glass windows that bring in the natural light, while also showing off the beautiful view. A big stone fireplace takes up one side of the cabin, a small couch in front of it. On the other side is a giant bed, adorned with fluffy pillows and large blankets. A kitchenette with all the required cooking equipments is also available. And a large bathroom with a large bathtub and a large glass shower. There's a window in the shower, too, that lets the light in, and it glows incredibly on my wife's face.
Tris takes the soap and lathers it all over my chest, moving her hands along my front as she cleans me. Repeating the action on my back, she takes her time with me. When I turn back around, she lathers my arms, looking appreciatively at my muscles. Then her hands go lower, and she grabs me as she moves her foamy fingers over me.
I feel myself react to her touch, getting hard as she moves her hand over me. I look into her eyes and see the mischievous glint in them. Slowly moving her hands away, she cleans the rest of my body, and I stand under the water to rinse myself.
"Your turn." I whisper, grabbing her around the waist.
"I have to wash my hair." She tells me, and I nod, picking up the shampoo.
Tris turns around, and I start lathering her hair, moving my fingers around to massage her scalp. She lets out a small moan as she relaxes, and I smile. I love our time in the shower, just cleaning each other, taking care of each other. I rinse her hair and repeat, then put on the conditioner, letting it sit for a few minutes while I wash her body.
I run the soap all over her, once again admiring the perfect body of my wife. I am still hard, which is not surprising in the least, I swear I'm always half hard around Tris anyway. Rubbing my hands over her, I give special attention to her breasts. Taking the soft mounds into my hands, I roll her nipples.
Tris bites her lip, looking up at me, and I bend down to give her a kiss, moving my hands away. Rinsing off the conditioner from her soft blonde hair, I do her back, and then her legs. She giggles when I tickle her behind the knees, moving away from me.
"Tobias!" Her laugh echos all around, and I can't help but smile as I take her back into my arms, and stand under the hot water. Finally cleaning ourselves off, we step out and dry off with towels. Tris wraps her wet hair with one, wringing out all the water.
Looking through the clothes we brought, I pick out long sleeved shirts for both of us, along with full length pyjama bottoms. Tris puts on her panties, foregoing a bra, and then wears the clothes I picked. I get dressed after moving my eyes away from her. She can be really distracting.
"What do you want for lunch?" She asks looking in the refrigerator.
"Something hot." I answer, going to her and wrapping her in my arms from behind.
"Soup?" She suggests, and I nod.
We work together to make lunch and enjoy it by the fireplace. Tris cuddles into me after, and I hold her close, kissing her head every so often. Soon I realise that she's fallen asleep, and I smile looking at her beautiful face. Gently lifting her up in my arms, I carry my sleeping wife to the bed and lay her down, covering her with the blanket.
Moving slowly, I wash our dirty dishes, then tidy up the place a little. After I'm done, I look out the window at the tall trees, and decide to do something. It's starting to get dark, but I can be back soon. Checking on Tris, I see that she is still deep asleep, so I leave her be.
Changing into an outfit better suited for the cold, and grabbing my jacket, I head out. Driving down the road, I'm glad that the weather is not too bad. We could have been snowed in, and stuck inside. Although I wouldn't mind staying in with my wife.
Reaching my destination, I pick up a decent sized tree, then walk into a nearby store and get a small box of ornaments, along with some lights. I also get some other stuff for the house, like water and groceries. I'm ready to head out when something else catches my eye, and I pick it up, looking over it. I decide to get it, too.
Paying for all the stuff, and hauling the tree onto the car, I drive back to the house. It's dark now, but I carefully pull the car into the driveway. The sound of the water rushing through the lake draws my attention, and I think about how absolutely cold it would be. I'm surprised that it's not frozen to ice.
I carry the bag of groceries inside, walking in slowly to see if Tris is still asleep. To my delight, she is sitting up on the bed, her hair a tangled mess as she stretches her arms. She lets out the cutest little yawn and then sees me standing in the doorway.
"Hey, where have you been?" She asks, climbing out of bed and walking over to me as I set down the bag. I take her in my arms, kissing her softly, and then smooth down her hair.
"Just got us some groceries. And a little something to make it feel like Christmas around here." I say.
"You got a tree?" She smiles widely, and I nod, chuckling when she presses kisses all over my face.
"Wait here, I'll bring it in, and then we'll decorate it together, okay?" I kiss her nose.
"Okay, hurry!" She says excitedly.
I carefully bring in the tree through the door, it is heavy, but small, so I manage to carry it. I place it in the corner beside the fireplace, and look towards Tris, who has a big smile on her face. Then I bring in the box of ornaments and lights, getting ready to decorate the tree.
"Why don't you change into comfortable clothes?" Tris suggests, and I nod. Quickly changing out of my thick pants and sweater, I put on my pyjamas.
We begin decorating the tree, making it our own. I wrap the lights all around it and hook them into an outlet. Then we place the ornaments all over the branches, from colourful glass balls to ribbons to small bells and even a tiny snowman. Tris is loving every second of it, and I'm loving watching her.
"Okay, now the star." I hand her the sparkly gold ornament.
"But I can't reach it." She says with disappointment.
"That's what I'm here for, love." I smile and bend down, wrapping my arms around her legs and standing straight up again, lifting her up.
"Tobias!" Tris yelps, steading herself by grabbing my shoulder with one hand. And then, reaching over, she places the star at the very top of the tree, smiling. I gently put her back on her feet again.
"Just one more thing now." I say, going over to switch the lights on.
In an instant, the whole cabin is transformed. The sight is so magical, lighting up every corner of the room. The glass balls reflect their colours all around, creating a beautiful rainbow. Tris gasps beside me, and I pull her into my arms, kissing her cheek.
"It is so perfect." She whispers.
"Yeah, it is." We admire the tree, sitting down on the couch and just watching the lights glimmer. Tris leans into me and I hold her close, breathing her in. She always smells so good.
"Thank you for this, Tobias. I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas." She looks up at me with a soft smile, her eyes glowing with the lights of the tree.
"I'd do anything for you, love." I kiss her temple.
"Yeah, you get crazy." She laughs.
"But you love it, don't you?" I tickle her sides.
"I do! Stop!" She giggles, trying to get away from me. I pull her closer and lay back on the couch with her, our grins matching. "I love you." She breathes.
"I love you, too." I barely get out before crashing my lips onto hers, kissing her deeply. Her soft lips move with mine, and my fingers go under her top, touching her bare back. Tris jumps at that, pulling away from me. "What's wrong?"
"Your hands are freezing, Tobias!" She grabs my fingers and rubs them between hers.
"God, you scared me. I thought something bad happened." I let out a sigh.
"It felt like you were trailing ice down my back." She laughs and I chuckle, loving the way she kisses my fingers to warm them.
"Am I warm enough now?" I ask, pulling her back to me and looking into her stunning eyes.
"Yeah, but I'm hungry now. So you gotta feed me." She whispers into my ear.
"Now?" I groan. "Fine, but you're all mine after dinner." I kiss her again before we get up to make ourselves some food.
It is so easy being with Tris. She has the ability to make me forget all that's bad in the world. I swear I fall a little more in love with her every single day. Sometimes I still can't believe that she's mine. This incredible woman could get anyone in the world, but she chose me. I never forget the fact that I'm the luckiest man ever.
We finish with dinner, simple grilled chicken with roasted vegetables, and clean the kitchen and our dishes. My eyes can't seem to stay away from her for too long. She catches me staring at her, and a small smirk forms on her face. I grin, going to her and pressing her body against the counter.
"Tobias." She holds onto my arms.
"I told you what I'd do with you after dinner." I smile, my hands roaming her body, settling on her chest over her sweater.
"Really? I don't remember." She says innocently.
"Mmm, I'm sure I can help with your memory, love." I kiss along her neck. In the haze, I remember something that I picked up at the store for us, and I pull back, excitement racing through me. "I have something for you, come with me."
Tris gives me a curious look but lets me guide her to the bed. I instruct her to sit down as I grab the small box from the grocery bag. I hand it to her, sitting down beside her, waiting for her to react.
"Naughty Truth or Dare?" She reads out.
"Yeah, I saw it at the store. Thought it would be fun." I shrug.
"Oh, I think it's gonna be more than just fun." Tris smiles, opening the box and emptying out its contents.
There are small rectangular cards inside, and a sheet of paper with instructions. It says that each person has to take a turn to pick a card, and the other has to do the task or answer the question truthfully. And no question can be skipped.
"What are the questions like?" Tris asks.
"I have no clue. I haven't looked at them. But they're all for couples." I answer.
"Okay." She gathers the cards and shuffles them around, and then places the deck, facing down, in between us on the bed. "Do you wanna go first?"
"I think you should start, love." I smirk at her. She raises an eyebrow, but goes to pick a card.
"What's your biggest turn on?" Tris reads out, then looks up at me.
"It's anything you do, honestly." I grin. "But the biggest is seeing you naked. It instantly makes me hard." Tris blushes at that, and I can't help but find it absolutely adorable.
"Your turn." She says, and I pick up a card.
"Does size really matter?" I grin, we have never had a problem with size. And she lets me know how much she loves my size every chance she gets.
"I wouldn't know. I have only ever tried on one size." She whispers, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"And what do you think of that?" I ask her.
"It fits me perfectly. And I love it." She bites her lip, making me crazy. "Okay, next question. Ohh, it's a dare! Give me a foot massage for the next two minutes."
"Settle back, love." I take her feet in my lap after she rests against the headboard, then rub them both, feeling the way her body relaxes. "How's this?"
"Amazing." She whispers. "But I think the two minutes are up." I let go of her feet and reach for a card.
"Touch your favourite part of my body." I smirk at her.
"That'll be your whole body." She laughs.
"No, love. You gotta touch just one. Make it good." I think I know where this is headed.
"Okay." She says, crawling to me, and then places her hand over my pyjama bottoms, right on my growing hardness. She squeezes me a little before moving away.
"Fuck." I breathe.
Tris continues the game, and asks the next question. "What was your first impression of me?"
"I thought you had the most incredible eyes. They instantly held my attention. And I had never seen someone so absolutely brave, I knew I wanted to get to know you better. I couldn't stay away." I smile, and she kisses my cheek.
"I love you." Tris smiles.
"I love you more." I reach for a card. "Take off a layer of your clothing." I grin at her.
Tris grabs the hem of her sweater, slowly pulling it off over her head. She still has her top on, but I feel myself twitch. The effect she has on me is unexplainable.
"Take an article of my clothing off without using your hands." She reads out, shaking her head. "This is unfair, I just took a layer off!"
"We gotta do what the card says, love." I grin and move closer to her.
"You can't use your hands." She breathes, watching me bend down and take the soft material of her top between my teeth, and then pulling it up with me. It's a little difficult to get it over her head, but I manage it. And then her perfect breasts are revealed to my hungry eyes. God, she is so beautiful. "It's your turn, Tobias."
I'm pulled back from my thoughts, and I pick a card. "Make out with me like we used to before we started having sex."
"Oh, I remember those nights on your couch when we first started dating." She smiles.
"Yeah, and I remember taking a hell lot of cold showers during those days." I say, making her laugh. "Come here."
We settle on the bed on our sides, facing each other. Keeping a distance between our lower regions, I move my lips to hers. We kiss like we used to, soft and gentle. I thread my fingers through her hair, trying not to touch her anywhere else. But my hand ends up on her bare back.
"You were wearing a lot more back then." I whisper against her lips.
"Yeah." Tris kisses me again before pulling away.
"God, I used to imagine how perfect your body would be under your clothes. And it is even more beautiful than I thought. I'm so glad we don't have to go back to that. I love touching you wherever I want." I breathe.
"I'm glad, too. We were really shy about sex back then." She whispers before picking a card. "Feed me something using only your mouth."
"I think we have some chocolate in the refrigerator." I stand up and go get the small bar of the dark chocolate, breaking off a piece.
I settle down again in front of her, then take the chocolate in my mouth and lean into her. Our eyes stay on each other's as Tris takes a small bite, her lips brushing against mine. I love how she moves her lips over mine. Closing my eyes, I hold her face in my hands and push my tongue out to meet hers, the chocolate melting in our mouths. I kiss her deeply before we pull apart, breathing heavily.
"That was hot." I murmur, and she nods, her eyes glazed over.
"What's your biggest fantasy?" I ask next.
Tris blushes hearing the question, and my attention is immediately picked up. We do a lot of adventurous things, but I'm curious to know about her fantasy.
"I don't know if it's considered a fantasy, cause we do it often. But I love when you don't treat me gently. I love when you take full control of my body. And just do whatever you want with me." She whispers, making me grow even harder.
"Tris, just thinking about that...damn." My breathing quickens.
"Strip down to reveal your full body." She smiles widely after reading the next card.
"Now who's talking about fairness?" I ask her.
"You can't skip. Get to work." She giggles.
I look her right in the eyes as I slowly take my clothes off, throwing them off to the side. Her gaze moves down my body, and she holds her breath when I hook my fingers around the waistband of my briefs, pulling it off torturously slow. My shaft stands hard before her, and she licks her lips, making me groan.
"Blindfold me and make me guess which part of your body I'm touching." We quickly make a blindfold using her shirt, and she ties it around my head.
"Okay, give me your finger." Tris guides my index finger towards her, and then I feel the smooth skin of her body. I can't tell where exactly I'm touching her, but it seems soft and full. Maybe it's her round breast, but then I realise what it is.
"It's your butt!" She laughs and I rip the blindfold off, looking at her perfect ass. "I know your body like it's mine, love." I squeeze her firm bottom, pulling her closer to me.
"I should've known!" She smiles and pulls her pants back up. "Ohh! Use a cheesy pick up line on me."
"Hmm...let me think. Oh, are your lips lonely? Cause they could meet mine." I grin at her.
"Thank god you never said that to me before cause I would've ran so fast." She giggles.
"I certainly didn't want that." I chuckle, picking a new card. "Get as close to me as possible without kissing me." I groan.
Tris moves towards me, sitting down on my lap, pressing our bodies together. Her lips are inches away from mine, and I want nothing more than to kiss her right now. God, this game is going to make me crazy.
I look into her eyes, moving my hands over her back, almost leaning to kiss her before pulling back. She holds onto my shoulders, trying not to give in too. I can feel her warm breath on my lips, waiting to be kissed passionately. Her eyes alternate between looking into mine, and to staring at my lips. The longing in them mirrors mine, and I feel her shiver in my arms.
"How long do we have to do this for?" She asks me.
"I don't know." I murmur before crashing my lips onto hers, tangling my fingers in her hair as I kiss her deeply. Tris rolls her hips over my hardness, letting out moans against my mouth. The soft fabric of her pyjamas moving on me almost makes me come. I push my tongue into her mouth and brush it with hers, deepening the kiss.
I finally stop us, placing my hands on her hips to stop her from grinding on me. We pull back and catch our breaths, trying to calm down.
"Describe your first kiss." She reads the next card.
"That would be our first kiss." I smile. "I didn't know what I was doing. I just knew I had to have you. I had been dreaming of kissing your lips for a long time. And when I finally leaned in, it was beyond spectacular. I loved every second of it." She smiles and kisses me again.
"Have you ever faked an orgasm?" I read the next card.
"No," Tris shakes her head. "I never had to. You know exactly what to do to make me..."
"Come?" I grin.
"Yeah." She blushes. "And I'm so sensitive that even the slightest touch of yours is enough."
"I love that I can make you come so hard. I love how you get so worked up, so overwhelmed. And when you cry out my name as you shake, fuck, that is the hottest thing ever, Tris." She bites her lip again. I'm so damn hard.
"If you could only ever do one position for the rest of your life, which would it be and why?" She asks.
"Me on top of you, or you on top of me." I say without having to think. "I just love looking into your eyes when we make love."
"I do too." She whispers.
"What's the dirtiest dream you've ever had?" I'm curious for this one.
"Oh, most of my dirty dreams are just replays of what we've already done. This afternoon I dreamt of us making love in the shower." She smiles.
"Really? Do you like getting dirty in the shower with me?" I kiss her neck.
"Yeah, I love it." She moans.
"It's your turn." I whisper and she leans over to pick another card.
"Take off a piece of clothing off my body." She reads out, and I smile.
"I guess the pyjamas are coming off." I shift her off my lap and grab the soft cloth, pulling them off her legs. Only her thin black panties remain.
"What's your favourite way to unwind after a long day?" I ask.
"Probably a hot shower or bath, preferably with you." She smiles.
"That's how I prefer it, too." Just a few hours with her in my arms are enough to make me forget about any bad day.
"If you had control over what I wore for a day, how would you dress me?" She asks next.
"Oh, I wouldn't even dress you, love. Let that perfect body of yours stay in my sight. But, if I had to choose something, probably a dress or skirt, they're so easy to get under. And you look damn sexy showing off those legs." I wink at her.
"You're so bad." She shakes her head.
"Only for you." I grin. "Talk dirty to me while using only your hands to pleasure me." I groan out.
Tris bites her lip and moves closer to me, her hands landing on my thighs as she rubs them. And then she slowly wraps her fingers around me, feeling my hardness.
"Tobias, you're so hard." She whispers, moving her hand over me with a steady rhythm. God, I love the way she touches me. "I love how big you are. It's incredible how deep you touch me sometimes. I get so turned on just thinking about it, about you, inside me." She breaths slowly against my lips.
"Fuck, Tris. That feels so good." I look into her eyes, trying to not lose myself completely. But her words only add fuel to the fire.
"Do you know how often I think about you?" She firms up her grip. "You said I make you hard, but you make me just as wet. And I'm always wet, always ready for you to take me." She squeezes me.
"Tris, you're fucking killing me." I growl, stopping her hands. "I want you so bad right now."
"Patience is key, Tobias." She says, climbing off me and picking a card. "Tell me an underrated moment you love that happened between us." I breathe hard for a second, trying to get my mind straight.
"God, every moment with you is underrated and precious to me, love. It's impossible to pick just one. But if I had to think back, I remember one time when you were sick, you had the highest fever and you could barely talk, and everything I did pissed you off. You were so annoyed." I chuckle. "But then late at night, you just clung to me, deep asleep, and kept mumbling about how much you loved me, over and over. That made me so happy, because I always used to wonder why someone so incredible as you would love a nobody like me. But I realised that you loved me for a lot of the same reasons that I loved you. And nothing had ever felt better."
"Tobias," Tris whispers, her eyes welling up. She leans in to kiss me, so deeply yet softly. I kiss her back eagerly, my hands holding her face. "I didn't even know I did that." She pulls back breathless. "And you're not a nobody. You're the best person I know. You're the only one who sees me for who I am. You're the love of my life."
I stare at her intensely, not believing that this extraordinary woman is mine. Then I crash my lips onto hers, kissing her fiercely as my tongue searches for hers. All thoughts leave my head, and all I know is Tris. I push us down onto the mattress, my body hovering over hers. I want her now. But she stops me.
"Tobias, the game." She giggles when I kiss her breast, my stubble tickling her soft skin.
"Fuck the game, I want you so much." I take her nipple between my teeth.
"I want you, too. But there's only two cards left. Let's finish it." She murmurs.
"Okay, we've come this far." I sigh and sit up, picking a card.
"Do you believe in soulmates?" I read out, then look at her for an answer.
"Well, I'm married to mine." She smiles brightly, making my heart beat faster. "So, yes, I do."
"Really?" I breathe out.
"There's nothing I'm more certain about. I know I was born to love you, Tobias." My brain registers her words and I can't do anything but kiss her again. How in the hell did I ever find her? All I know is that I'm nothing without her.
"Do you have any idea how much I love you? Because it's a lot more than you think. So much fucking more than you think. You're the reason for my being, the reason I live, and I'm gonna love you forever. Even after this life. In every life." I hold her gaze, feeling the love that flows between us.
"Make love to me, Tobias." Tris whispers, her eyes full of longing.
"Just one more card, Tris." I smile at her, handing the last one to her.
She looks at it and a smile immediately lights up her face. "What is your favourite thing to do with me?"
"How about I show you? Come here." I pull her to me with a grin, then lay her down on her back. "I've been waiting for this for so long, Tris." I breathe, removing her wet panties. She really is ready for me.
"God, I want you so much." She gasps when I trace her folds lightly with my thumb. "Don't make me wait any longer, Tobias." I decide to stop teasing her and climb up on top of her.
"Keep your legs close together, love." I whisper as I align my hard cock with her wet entrance. I push slowly till I'm fully inside her, and we both let out moans at the intense contact.
"You feel bigger this way, Tobias." Tris gasps.
"I know. You feel so good, Tris." I groan and hold her right leg up, bending it towards her chest. She wraps it around me, holding onto me tightly, her fingers scratching my back.
I start thrusting into her, ever so slowly, and feel her warmth and wetness surround me completely. The way her tightness grasps me, welcoming and taking me in each time I push myself into her. It's an otherworldly sensation. And I crave more. So I pick up my pace, sliding into her faster and faster. Tris whimpers, and I increase the speed again, never faltering.
Grabbing her arms, I hold them down above her head, driving into her wildly. Tris arches her back, her legs shaking as she spasms around me. But I never slow down, hitting her deeper and deeper.
"You like this?" I grunt out, looking into her eyes.
"Yeah." She barely breathes, the pleasure too much. "Kiss me, Tobias."
I bend down to kiss her soft lips, brushing my tongue against hers and swallowing her moans. Moving one hand down her body, I massage her breast and gently pull on her nipple. Then I hold her leg, opening her up a little more as I push into her tightness. I kiss her neck and bury my face into her hair, feeling her clench around me.
Tris's moans are very loud, and she shakes as she comes again, crying out my name. Pressing my forehead on hers, I watch her face form a blissful expression on it. Her eyes are shut, and her hands dig into my back. When she opens them, she stares at me for a few seconds before kissing me eagerly, and squeezing me repeatedly inside her.
The heat around us increases, creating a bubble of warmth and need and passion. It intoxicates me. I have never been so consumed, never been so hungry for someone's touch, never felt everything at once. But I want more, I want so much more of this feeling. Of being with Tris. So I keep pounding into her relentlessly, my cock getting harder and harder.
"Tobias!" Tris hits the peak again, crying from the pleasure.
I pull out of her to let her calm for a moment, kissing her softly. Then, I sit us up on our knees. Turning Tris around, I embrace her close to me. She leans her head back into me, and I kiss her shoulder and her cheek. I don't even see her reaching behind, but her hand is suddenly stroking me firmly. She guides it towards her core and I slam back into her from behind. Positioning my body perfectly with hers, I keep loving her. My thrusts are deep and hard, making her whimper. I'm so fucking close. But I want one more.
"Look at me." She turns her head and locks eyes with me. "Is this how you want me to love you?" I thrust harder, making her cry.
"Yes, god, yes." She whimpers, biting her lip.
My hands travel all over her body, squeezing her hips as I thrust, moving up her stomach to cup her breasts, moving down to reach the sensitive spot between her legs. I circle it roughly with my fingers, and Tris freezes for a second before trembling uncontrollably.
"Oh my god! Tobias! Oh god!" She cries out as she clenches hard around me.
Her orgasm triggers mine, and I can't hold on any longer. I release my love deep inside her, my member throbbing with pleasure. My hands hold her to me as we both shake and shudder, riding the wave together to completion. And then we collapse on the bed, our limbs tangled.
"I absolutely loved playing that game with you, Tobias." Tris whispers, breathing hard.
"I'm glad to hear that, love." I grin, turning her in my arms and looking into her mesmerising eyes. "I love you so much."
"I love you, too, Tobias." She leans in to kiss me, our lips moving together in a slow and gentle rhythm.
"Are you cold?" I ask when I feel a shiver pass down her body.
"A little." She nods.
"How about some hot cocoa to warm us up?" I brush a few strands of her hair back, my thumb caressing her cheek.
"I'd love that." Tris loves chocolate just as much as me.
"We should also probably put on some clothes." I suggest.
"That's a good idea." She laughs when I pull us up, and we dress back into the warm pyjamas.
"Go sit by the tree while I make us the hot chocolate." I tell her, but only receive a frown from her beautiful face. "Okay, come here." I pick her up as she wraps her legs around me.
Quickly whipping up two mug fulls of the thick hot and rich chocolate, we carry them with us and sit down by the sparkling tree. The smooth liquid warms us right up, and the fire crackling in front of us also helps.
"That was one of my very favourite things we've done together, Tobias. And this is quickly becoming my favourite Christmas, too." My wife smiles at me from my shoulder.
"I absolutely agree with you, Tris." I lean down to kiss her forehead. "And you know what makes this even more better?"
"What?" She asks curiously.
"Look out the window." She turns her head to look outside, and a stunning smile forms on her lips as she watches the snowflakes flutter down all around.
"And now I'm starting to think that nothing can beat this Christmas." She shakes her head.
"Oh, I'm more than willing to take on that challenge, love. Just wait for next year." I pull her closer to me, caressing her face and bringing her smiling lips to mine, kissing her deeply. I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas with my love.
