Chapter 218
The boys had full heads of hair, it was a pain in the ass to cut it all the time because it fell in their eyes, but it grew like weed on their heads- Kaitlyn’s didn’t, but she had the most beautiful ash-blonde color with caramel highlights that sparkled under the sun.
The flowers around us lit up the greenery with their beautiful colors, and during the triplets’ first year, I didn’t want Kiera to feel left out, so she and I would plant bushes and countless different flowers in the garden. The Gardner would instruct us along the way, and eventually, they all bloomed. I did take her to the field with the thousands of flowers during spring that year, and we ran around for hours, bathing in the petals of the flowers and dancing under the sun as it warmed our skin.
After Kiera’s little legs couldn’t run anymore, we fell on the ground and lay in a sea of color and beauty and she grabbed my hand and said Thank you, Mommy’. The tears pressed against my eyes but when I saw her startled face after what she had called me I pushed them down and leaned in closer to her.
I told her that she was welcome and that we would do that run every year for the rest of our lives.
Watching her grow each year into the beautiful young girl she was, took my breath away. She was strong and stubborn with a heart of gold and the best smile in the world. She was my daughter, just as much as Kaitlyn.
Two girls and two boys, but that was enough, no more.
At the request of Darian, the doctor performed a vasectomy. I could not go a lifetime without sex with Darian but I was also never birthing another child again. We had been using his playroom more frequently over the years and it had quickly become one of my favorite rooms in the palace.
Darian reached out his arms, his forearms were bulging from having just trained before the celebration and my son looked like a peanut in his arms. He handed Kai to Mathilda and the two sat around the table and painted cupcakes together.
Darian turned to me, his eyes dark and deep and he rolled back his shoulders as he stalked toward me.
He pressed his lips against my mark and my skin tingled when he dragged his tongue and nibbled across it.
“You need to stop with that look, my love,” he warned, and his eyes darkened on mine.
“What look?” I mused. Somehow, I grew more in love with him each day as the years passed. I was salivating just looking at him, and it was so easy to get him on his knees. During the days I had full reign, he listened to me. I was in charge of most of the decisions that went on around here, and he gladly accepted. But come night, and the roles shifted, Darian dominated with love and care and a glorious, toe-curling pain that I found myself occasionally begging for.
He claimed my lips and grabbed my waist roughly.
“The one that makes me want to throw you over my shoulder and spank your ass until my handprint never fades,”
He groaned into my ear.
“Dad! Play!”
We both took a breath, and I pursed my lips when Kai’s gleeful demand reached us.
“Duty calls, Daddy,” I bit down on my lip and dragged my hand across his chest as we turned back to the party.
“Today it’s about them,” he said and dug his fingers into my waist. He brushed his lips over my ear and moved the hair from my neck, “and tonight it is all about you,”
The End.
