Chapter 1

Kiara:

“But, daddy!” I heard our daughter whine making me laugh.

“No buts, you need to go to bed as to be able to wake up in the morning without giving your mom a hassle like you do every morning” Alessio said gently. I walked to our daughter’s bedroom to find her sitting on the bed, resting her back against her dad’s chest as he rested his against the headrest.

“I promise I won’t give her too much of a fuss, but this show only starts at this time!” Alexandra said looking at her dad who laughed. He had named her after his sister wanting to keep the memory of her, and despite what she has done, I couldn’t deny him that “and I know you’re going to tell me to watch it when it comes on again after school, but how am I going to be able to discuss it with the girls at school tomorrow! They’ll be ahead of me!”

I laughed as I heard the way she spoke of the situation, the fact that she made it seem like some big deal made the whole situation a whole lot more amusing. Alessio’s eyes caught mine and he chuckled extending his arm for me to walk to his embrace. He pulled me to his side and kissed my cheek before Alex wrapped her arms around me, kissing me.

“Did Viktor give you a tough time going to bed?” Alessio asked softly.

“Nothing out of the ordinary, both him and his sister decided to have chocolate cake for dinner” I said raising an eyebrow at Alexandra who shied back against her father’s chest. Alessio raised an eyebrow at his daughter and waited for her to either deny or confirm what I said.

“Well, that explains why my little rascal doesn’t want to go to bed” Alessio said tickling Alexandra who laughed.

“Daddy!” She said trying to pull away making him laugh and kiss her cheek “we had a tiny little piece”

“It seems like you need to start tickling her again” I teased and Alex shook her head making the two of us laugh at her behavior. She was eight turning nine in two months and her little brother was three.

“No, no, please don’t!” She said raising her hands in mock surrender making us laugh.

“Well, are you going to sleep, or not?”

“Can I at least watch the beginning of the episode? Just until I get sleepy?” Alex begged and Alessio looked at me, waiting for me to respond.

“How about we record the episode, and if you wake up when I wake you tomorrow, I turn it on for you while I help you get ready for school? That way, you’ve watched the episode and have caught up with your friends, went to bed early, and woke up on time to flexibly get ready” I suggested. Alexandra’s eyes widened and she nodded excitedly. I smiled and both Alessio and I got up from her bed, and Alessio tucked her in before both of us kissed her goodnight.

“Promise me you won’t forget to record it?”

“I’ll go down to record it now, pinky promise” I said gently making her smile.

“Love you, mummy and daddy”

“And we love you, princess” Alessio smiled. The two of us walked down to the living room, my husband’s arm was wrapped around my waist as he held me close to him. I turned the TV on and pressed the timed record to have her show recorded. I turned to face my husband and laid my head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tightly

“Sometimes I wonder if we spoil them too much, but then again, I can never help it” I said honestly making my husband chuckle. His chest vibrated under my head and he kissed the crown of my head.

“Well, whether or not that was the case, as long as we’re all happy. What difference does it make? Right?” Alessio asked. I laughed and shook my head at him before getting on my toes to kiss his lips. I was thankful that after ten years of being married, and after everything we’ve been through together, our love just seemed to grow everyday.

“True” I said smiling. I turned to face the TV, making sure that the show was set to record before turning it off and turning to face my husband once again. I ran my fingers over his toned covered chest making him raise an eyebrow. I lowered my finger to his abs and rested it above the waist band of his pants. His eyes remained fixed on me as he waited for what I was to do “the kids are asleep”

“Yes”

“And I’m guessing you’re done with work for the night” I whispered kissing his jawline. I could feel his hardening cock against my thigh.

“I am” he said closing his eyes in pleasure.

“How about we take this to the bedroom?” I whispered.

“We will, beautiful malyshka”

********************

“Rise and shine, sleeping beauty” Alessio said softly. He had turned the alarm off a while ago, but my body being drained of energy didn’t have it in me to get out of bed just yet. Alexandra’s wake up time was still forty-five minutes away, I just tended to wake up a while before her as to prepare everything for her before she got up.

“You drain the life out of me, then expect me to wake up” I asked in a sleeping voice. I moved to lay my head comfortably over his chest and Alessio laughed massaging my lower back.

“Well, no one told you to be a tease” Alessio mused “I just gave you the small payback to satisfy”

“So much for it being small” I said raising myself to look my husband in the eye.

“You do realize that the house has over fifty maids, and they could prepare breakfast for the kids…”

“I am their mother, and I’ll be the one preparing it, Alessio” I said playfully glaring at my husband who laughed. He cupped my cheeks and kissed my lips. I smiled into the kiss before getting up and covering myself with the bedsheets making him shake his head in amusement.

“Ten years after being married, and my beauty still covers herself whenever she gets out of bed” Alessio teased.

“And ten years being married, and my love is still always surprised whenever I do so” I winked making him laugh “join me in the shower?”

“I’m guessing we’ll be doing more than just simply shower” Alessio teased raising an amused eyebrow.

“But we’ll need to be a little quick, you know, breakfast is waiting”

“Don’t worry, malyshka, I’ll eat up my dessert nice and quick”
