Kenji slid his fingers through Qylar’s hair and helped guide him on the path he led over the baby bump.
“You’re really starting to show. Two eggs in your little body might be a stretch.”
“Should I be concerned?”
“Only for how turned on you make me like this. I’m going to struggle to keep my hands to myself.”
“Qylar…”
“I’m sure we’ll figure it out.”
“How do you know?” Kenji asked.
“I just know,”Qylar said, lifting a brow.
“Downstairs?” Kenji asked.
“I suppose,” Qylar said. He rolled over Kenji, pinning him to the mattress. “After breakfast, we’re coming to nap. And fuck. I don’t care the order, but it’s happening and perhaps twice.”
“The napping or the fucking?”
“Both.”
Kenji rolled his body against Qylar’s. “I can agree to that.”
“Stop that or the fucking comes first and we miss presents,” Qylar said.
“Now you’re keen on going.”
Qylar chuckled. He stretched his long arms and legs, his back arching. After scratching his tight abs, he climbed to the side of the bed.
Kenji got out and searched for his pieces of clothing. He ended up with pajama pants, a robe, and slippers. Qylar grasped his hand and drew him closer before they left the bedroom. He stole a deep, sensuous kiss, and they held on tight for a few seconds in the peace and quiet.
Once downstairs, the kids were already tearing through some smaller gifts while their sleepy parents and rapt grandfather watched.
“Morning,” Kenji murmured as they reached the bottom of the stairs.
“Morning, Uncle Kenji!” Zaadi lifted a hot pink bejeweled Army truck. “Look what Poppop got me for Christmas.”
“Well, that’s…something,”Kenji replied.
“They say nothing overly gendered for the children unless they ask,” King Krythar said to no one in particular. “Canmixedgendered not work just as well to blur the lines and send the same message?”
“It’s pretty, Poppop. I love it,” Zaadi said.
“I love you, Princess Zaadi,” King Krythar replied.
“Do me, PaaPaa,” Ael said to his grandfather.
“I love you, too, Prince Aeloran Krythar.”
Ael smiled at him and giggled.
“Just had to throw that in there, didn’t you?” Cryss asked.
“Did I name him? No. Can I appreciate that name given? Yes.”
Kenji chuckled.
