After the house emptied out, Robert and Holly decided to stay downstairs near the Christmas tree for a little while. They had some hot chocolate and cookies.

"Our tree looks beautiful, don't you think?" Holly asked before taking a sip of her hot chocolate.

"Nowhere near as beautiful as my wife." Robert kissed her free hand.

"Flatterer." Holly grinned as she sat her cup down. "You know I've always loved seeing you with our family, but the way you are with our grandchildren is so special."

"I get to spoil them and send them on their way." Robert teased and laughed.

"I think what you did for little Donna was especially sweet. She has had such a rough year." Holly felt so much for that child. In a year she lost her grandma, both parents went to jail, her older brother went to jail and she was taken in by her uncle she didn't know very well but clearly had already bonded with.

"I'm looking at her as an honorary grandchild, she needs all the love she can get and besides Bobbie would want that." Robert looked at the tree, sadness in his eyes as he thought about them losing Bobbie.

Holly held his hand. "She would have been very thankful for what you did tonight. I've always thought you were wonderful, but somehow you still manage to surprise me and show me even more how lucky I am."

Robert couldn't help but blush, he was used to her saying sweet thing but sometimes she got him too. "How does a sauna and some champagne sound to cap off the night?" He asked, wanting to end this night the right way.

Holly's eyes sparkled as she looked at him. "I think that sounds wonderful."

The two straightened up and went upstairs to get ready for their sauna. "You know I think this Christmas may be the best one yet." Holly told Robert as she sat down on the bench.

"I know it will be. A great start tonight and it's going to get even better." Robert told Holly, placing a kiss on her neck.

"Already has started to." She whispered as she tilted her head back.

Robert wasted no time taking advantage of the access he had to her neck, loving hearing her little moans. He untied her towel and tossed it to the side, kissing her chest.

Holly spoke in between moans. "Hey, you're over dressed."

"Do the honors." Robert moved back to let her get his towel.

"Oh I will do more than that." Holly grabbed his towels with a playful twinkle in her eyes, excited for what was to come for them on this wonderful night.
