“Okay, Mr. Honesty, how many kids do you want?”
I jerked back, surprised by her question.
“I mean, we never talked about those kinds of things, so now I’m curious.”
I responded, “Three.”
“Three?” Her eyes widened.
“How many do you want?”
She ignored my question.
“Do you want a boy or a girl?”
“I’d like a baby girl who looks exactly like you.”
She blushed.
“I keep finding myself envisioning a life with you.”
“What kind of life?”
She looked down at her stomach.
“You’d be an amazing mother.”
“I’m not so sure about that. I don’t think I’m very maternal.”
“You’re the most loving person I know.” I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind her to help her with the cookie dough in front of her.
“This is very Patrick Swayzee of you in Ghost except here comes Santa Claus wasn’t playing in the background.”
We’d been listening to Christmas music, and I’d never be able to hear Rudolph the red nose reindeer without envisioning Noelle on her knees in front of me, wearing her reindeer getup.
“This is where I belong.”
CHAPTER 28
NICHOLAS
“Ican’t believe you’re making me do this…” I complained, looking in the mirror.
“Oh, come on… you look so cute, though.”
There I was, wearing The Grinch costume.
“Now, if you can stand at the door and hand out cookies, please and thank you.”
“Oh, how lucky.”
She giggled, running away before I could catch her.
For the next several hours, I played the role of The Grinch until I couldn’t take it anymore and had to take the damn thing off. Thankfully, I was about to get Noelle on the skating rink before it opened. I may or may not have ordered the staff to leave us alone so that I could fuck her in the rink.
A fantasy I didn’t know I had until I saw her on skates in her Rudolph outfit. She was the cutest reindeer I’d ever seen. I told her to run and chased her around the rink wearing The Grinch costume before I proceeded to get on my knees and show her a very merry Christmas.
She loved every second of it.
