Hunter turns my chin to face him. “Books?”

“Some first editions and some obscure history books. I also got you a subscription to a documentary and history channel,” I say. “That’s what the receipt I wrapped was for.”

Hunter kisses me hard and hungry. Chase groans and tightens his hold on my hips.

“You know us so well, pet. Thank you,” Lief says, stealing me from Hunter to kiss me again.

Hunter looks from me to the stairs and Chase does the same. I zip my onesie back up. “No sex until all the presents are opened?”

“Yes,” they agree, sprinting upstairs. Lief helps me up and winks. “We’re going to enjoy the sauna. No need for towels.”

“I’m glad we’re on the same page, Viking,” I say while bumping him with my hip. “We’ll enjoy that toy too.”

“Tonight,” he decides without question. “Alongside one of those costumes, since we have to open those too.”

“Open the costumes? Like you want to see them all? I was going to surprise you all with them throughout the year,” I complain.

Lief pulls me against him. “We’re unwrapping one tonight.”

“So you want me to model it for you?” I ask, still confused.

“I want to rip it off you and enjoy the only thing I need.” Lief cups the back of my neck. “My fiancée.”

I groan and kiss his neck.

Hunter shows off the books, excited past the point of his ego. Chase looks at all his knick-knacks and how they’re displayed, not to mention all the new storage he has since I put in drawers and cabinets on the free wall under the shelves that are now there.

“This is amazing, Valerie,” Chase says. “I can’t wait to work from here.”

“We can watch so many documentaries now,” Hunter says, pulling me from Lief to pick me up. “Thank you, Dorogaya.”

“Sexy things weren’t enough of a gift,” I murmur. “I want to make you guys happy in every way.”

“It’s our turn to return the favor, right here, in my office,” Chase decides.

“Get a costume,” Lief orders.

I giggle and run to pull one out. As long as my men are beaming, I’m happy to do anything they ask.

Hunter

Before Christmas with Valerie,there wasn’t too much to get excited about. It was always kinda boring and then back to work.

With Valerie, the magic continues. Christmas was family time, the 26th, was us bathed in decadence, then a rest day full of cuddling, documentaries, and the unveiling of the sauna.

Lief grins as the steam encases us. We both wear towels and I smirk. “Chase is missing out.”

“He’s had plenty of fun the last three days,” Lief mumbles. “I’m itching to get back to work.”

“Says the man trying to retire,” I grunt, turning my head to look at him. “You want to work less hours training people to take your spot?”

“Yes,” he answers simply. “It’s time.”

“Lief, you know no one is going to replace you. There’s no one Chase or I trust more.”

“I’m too old to continue running around playing spy. We have a fiancée to consider as well,” he says.
