"Well, well, well.I thought you would never wake up,"I heard Dimitri tease through an airy whisper,scrubbing a strand of hair from my face."What happened to me not being able to put you to sleep? Huh."

The sunlight flooding in from between the curtains and straight into my eyes was a great announcement of the risen sun.Dimitri had fucked the hell out of me, I slept for I don't even know how many hours and had only just woken up.To be honest I don't even remember falling asleep.

Groaning,I snuggled deeper into Dimitri's side,his large warm hands drifting down my bare body to my stomach,"You didn't have to do me like that."

"It was long overdue.Hopefully,you've learnt your lesson,"he grunted his jaw ticking,and his palm slowly rubbing over my belly affectionately.A small grin took place on his normally guarded face.

"You've been doing an awful lot smiling today,"I accused placing my chin on his chest,my gaze narrowing."What's going on?"

Dimitri's chest vibrated beneath me as he chuckled,the movements of his hands never faltering,"I'm just really happy to be waking up to my baby."

"Hmmm."

His eyes flickered to my lips,licking his own slightly.

"Mhmm.Give me a kiss."

Dimitri's pair of large strong arms tugged me even closer to his chest,our naked bodies pressed together.He grabbed my jaw tilting my head upwards and devouring my mouth in an aggressive kiss.Dimitri growled lowly as his hot tongue urges its way between my lips,invading my mouth with his fast thrust.

He wasted no time looping his large arms around my waist,effortlessly placing my body upright on his lap.Squeezing my ass with both his hands when I grounded onto his morning wood.My lips closed onto his tongue sucking slowly,gaining a low moan from Dimitri.My hands reached into his boxers pulling out his d-

"Mama..."

"Shit,"Dimitri groaned as he placed me back on the bed, covering me as well as he could with just the silk covers left on the mattress." Fucking blue balls."

Karmari and Khalani's small feet pitter-pattered against the floor when they tip tiptoed from the doorway of their room to the bottom of the bed,their baby quilts as capes around their shoulders trailing behind them.

" Mwornin," Karmari mumbled jumping onto the bed, immediately going for his papa's chest for a pillow and khalani shoving her way between Dimitri and I.

"Good sleep?" Dimitri asked delivering a soft kiss to both of the twins' heads,his hands rubbing their backs slowly"I know you did Lani. Where's your other sock baby?"

Khalani giggled even in her tired state when Dimitri tickled the underside of her foot."Stwop..." she sang wrapping her arms and legs around me, now lying on my chest.

"You wanna hear about-about my dream?"

"Go on then" I smile running my fingers through her tight curls.Khalani incoherently rambled about all the kittens,unicorns and adventures in dreams,almost sending Kamari back to sleep like he hadn't just barged in here.

Just when khalani was getting to what she called 'the best part' a light tap sounded at the entrance."May I come in?"Emilia asked from the other side of the door.No you may not.Rolling my eyes I pulled the blanket over mine and Khalani's heads ignoring her little giggles.

"Mama nakey?" She asked feeling around my chest and answering the question herself"Mama's nakey"she snickered to her brother getting a short cackle in response.

Listening to the laughter and cackles above the blanket I smacked Dimitri's thigh nearly joining in too "Okay we get it."

I took a peek from under the blanket watching as Emilia entered the room after getting confirmation from Dimitri to enter"Just wanted to let you know breakfast's ready."

Thanks, you can go now

The mention of food instantly caught the twins' attention as both their heads shot up making their way off the bed"I can take them if you down if you want,"she suggested walking even deeper into the room.

No, what you can do is go back downstairs

Khalani clapped her little hands,pulsing on her toes pleading with her little puppy dog eyes.She doesn't even know what's going on she just wants food.I don't blame her though.

Kamari waved his arms for the pick-up he knew was coming.She looked at Dimitri and I,almost like she was looking for some kind of permission.Good girl.

"Hello, sweet pea," Emilia cooed hoisting him up onto her hip and taking hold of Khalani's hand,"I'll see you downstairs then."

Traitors

"Don't leave my kids with them, Armani.Who's to say they won't do it again Armani, "I mocked him even using his unnecessary deep voice. What the hell is wrong with him today.

"It's only for a few minutes,baby," he grunts cupping my core with his tatted hand"You wanna help me get rid of these blue balls?"

"Nope."

Smiling and rising quickly,I waddled to the end of the bed ready to start another day and get my kids out of the hands of strangers.

"C'mere,"I struggle to take another step when Dimitri clutches onto my ankle tugging me back onto my pillows.

"Come on baby,"he hummed,his deep raspy voice turning into a little whine.Since when did I have four babies.Caging me in,his head dipped leaving open-mouthed kisses between my full breasts" lemme at least get a mouthful".His thick fingers found my clit rubbing and teasing my entrance vigorously,the pleasure evoking a moan past my lips.

The dark look on his face told me exactly what to do.Releasing a small sigh I grabbed his length between both my hands,throwing my head back releasing a cry at the stretch as he impatiently fucks me further into the bed.

"Mmmm fuck!"

❀❀❀

Dimitri pushed open the large double doors,making space for me and Aalyiah's travel cot to pass.I strolled in,the dining room already alive with the vibrant hues of the morning and the loud chatter around the dining table.

I guess they noticed us when the sound of their conversations lowered."How nice of you to finally join us,"Blade sarcastically spoke from the head of the table,eyeing Dimitri's black jumper I was wearing and the small black shorts to go with it.

"Yeah, mama!"Kamari blurted out next to Blade,a little frown forming on his face.They've spent way too much time together.

I walked around the table sitting crossed-legged on the cushioned seat next to Emilia.A plate of sugary pancakes covered with strawberries and a side of Nutella as well as another full of my favourite pastries were passed to me from Emilia.

A slight contended smile grew on one side of Emilia's mouth,and to be honest,I nearly felt the urge to smile as well until Eliezer banging his head repetitively onto the table crept into my vision.

"...Yeah.And it just kept getting louder and louder!" He whined as I tuned into their conversation that seemed to have already travelled around the table"Are your tonsils okay Armani?"

"Of course there not.They were at it all night,"Elijah said agreeing with his twin,looking at me and Dimitri from across the buffet his tired eyes turned into a glare"Some damn sex addicts."

I mean I'm not going to deny it

Disturbed, Emilia ignored the chatter between her sons and turned back to me"it's Abuela's birthday today-"oh my gosh is she not dead yet"and we were planning to go over to have dinner with her.You wanna come with?"

No thanks ...

"You can't just tell me that now.I need at least a week's notice"

"I'm sorry,I don't think you were here a week ago" Emilia teased

"The good times,"Rebecca said out loud almost like she was reminiscing.Yeah,for both me and you.

With a deep breath, Emilia closed her eyes mumbling to herself before her eyes opened and she asked again.

"whose gonna be there?"

"Tía Natalia,tio Johna,of course abue-"

"So basically everyone."I said giving her the are you serious face.Was she really about to make me sit here and hear her name every person in her family?

"Yeah basically...I'm sorry."

"It's fine;but I'm only coming for the cake,so it better be good."

"Don't worry,I'll make sure of it.Now finish your breakfast I know you need the energy."

That last part...wasn't needed

Turning to Dimitri I slipped an arm around his neck and ran my fingers through his beard knowing how much it drove him crazy,pulling his face closer to mine I gave him a peck on the lips."You coming?"

Dimitri hummed closing his eyes to enjoy the pleasure I was giving him,still helping Aaliyah stand up.She stood for a moment before plopping back down into his lap leaning towards me for a kiss.

"Mwah!Say mwah,"I soothed pressing a kiss to her chubby cheek.Dimitri chuckles when a bunch of random noises erupt from her small mouth.

"Good girl."

❀❀❀

As the stream of water washed over me, I relaxed further into Dimitri's front as he slightly swayed us side to side going along with the soft beat that played through our speakers.

He hums washing my neck trailing down to my chest,continuing to lather them long after it was necessary to and down my legs.Shifting I turned to do the same tiptoeing to lather his neck,down his chest,arms and finally dropping down to my knees to finish washing his legs.

I stood again,after I noticed how hard the position made him."Don't be getting any ideas,"I told him seeing the faint smirk on his face.

His large arms slid down my bare arms and settled on my hips,drawing me against his body"I know baby."Our wet,soap covered bodies pressed together as his tongue swirled around mine,exploring the familiar terrain of her mouth;his hands rubbing down my back to grab my ass.

Our eyes locked as Dimitri looked up at me through the mirror when he finished zipping the back of my dress.His hands skim my curves,tracing down my sides to my hips then around to what he likes to call 'his ass'.

He tightened his grip until our bodies were pressed together,determined to feel every arch.
"Sexy mother fucker." Dimitri mutters against my neck before slapping my ass and walking away.

Khalani combed through her doll's curly hair as I stood and brushed hers into a high bun,I slicked her baby hairs to perfection."pwetty,"she mumbles looking at the final product.

"Yes,such a pretty girl,"buttoning the back of her white boho dress I sent her off to find her papa and put hers and her brother's shoes on.A few minutes later our bags were packed and we were on our way.

Asher rides in the boot, comfortable in the tight space with the buggy and bags.After not accepting the fact there was no space,he deserves it.

Dimitri ,walked around the car to open the door for me, helping me get all the babies out once we had reached the Mansion.The mansion which used to be home for years belonged to both sides of Emilia and Blades's family.

It was the place where aunties and uncles had a chance to catch up and cousins from both sides would sleepover at the time we were all genuinely excited about.They called it 'the house of peace'.Well until you know what happened.

We walked up the stairs leading to the entrance of the mansion,a slender dark-haired Evita,Emilia's mum,standing outside waiting.

"¡Feliz cumpleaños mamá!"Emilia beamed giving her mum her present,a hug and a kiss on the cheek."Gracias, mi amor."Evita sang her wavy still lush against her tan skin.She looked as young as she did when I left.But am I gonna tell her that...no.{Happy birthday mama!/Thank you my love}

"¿Por qué tardaste tanto? Las historias que tengo para ti."she shook her head smiling"Not before I give my babies some lovin."{what took you so long?The stories I have for you.}

Evita Smothered her grandkids with kisses,despite their protests until she got to me,caressing the side of my face"Beautiful,such a beauty.You definitely have my genes."she nodded before looking at the twins in Dimitri's arms"And you too.I kinda see where you get it from.Cause mm mm mm aren't you just a fine specimen."

"Mama!"

"Sorry,I just had to say it."

She ushered us through the house and outdoors,to what they call their 'garden' which really is the beach, to be greeted by smiling faces,relaxed chatter and much laughter.

Smiling faces soon turned into shocked ones as I entered behind Emilia and her family.Whispers in both Spanish and English travelled through the garden some good and some bad.Not going to lie the behaviour was expected.

"Let's eat,"Evita boomed clapping her hands together silencing the family in the meantime,you could already tell who the boss of the family was.

The silence was a comfortable one,only becoming awkward when everyone was seated.Dimitri slung his arm over the back of my chair swirling and sipping on his wine not affected by the loud silence.

"It's good to see you,Armani,"Camillia, Blades' mum,hesitated to say shuffling closer to the table.The hate I hold for this woman and her husband is ridiculous,how could they raise a son so evil.Compared to Blade and David(her other son),Ross must have been the black sheep of the family,it just doesn't add up how he got to such a state.Sometimes it's not the parent's fault how their child turns out but in this case that is the only excuse I can come up with for him.

"I guess it's good to see you too,"I groaned Itching my scalp.Just looking at her makes me itch.

From the corner of my eye,I see Aunt Clara(Emilia's sister and Leon's mum)rolling her eyes at the boring conversation.

"Why you guys being so awkward?"She asks,taking a break from sipping her wine and looking around the table and back to me."How have you been Armani?"

'Oh well let me see my childhood was full of beatings and other types of abuse,got sent to the hospital multiple times because of it,became the greatest assassin of all time,had three babies with the leader of the American mafia... and I think that's it.You know the usual.' I think of saying.

But instead,I say quick "Good."

"We really about to do this,"she probed at my answer tilting her head to the side.How she copying my moves.

"Yep."

We were interrupted by Evita and the husbands of the family turning around the corner with large serving platers full of food. Surprisingly Leon Magically appeared behind them his eyes fixed on our dinner.

"Nice for you to turn up,where you been"I question watching as he takes a seat on my right"Bitch,I've been in my room waiting for the food to come out."

"Invite me next time,I'm only here for the food too."

"Then eat it,"Dimitri mutters placing the plate he packed with all types of food in front of me more than enough for me and the twins sitting in my lap.

After muttering a prayer to himself,he scoffed the meal down with one hand the other holding Aalyiah,not caring who watches.I tell him time after time to calm down before he chokes but it just goes from one ear into the other.Oh well if he chokes not my problem.

The kids start to bounce up and down on their bottom,their eyes wide and mouths already partly open.knowing what's soon to come.When the first spoon goes to my mouth they both hold a slightly crestfallen look,but then starts their celebratory bounce again as the spoon goes back to the plate.

It comes back with a piece of chicken and both actually clap their hands, mouths now wide.In Kamari's mouth, it goes and he clamps his lips around it not wasting even a drop.Another piece goes to Khalani and that's how it is,one for me,one for Kamari and one for khalani until it's nearly gone.

"Eat some more,Armani."Dimitri said placing a few more pieces of bread on my plate"Dimitri I ate the food,you want me to eat the plate too!"

"Yes.I do."

Looking up my eyes find the judgmental ones of tía Valeria,growing tired of her staring I ask if there's a problem to which she replies:

"Your not...you know the model parents."

"And you smell old...at 40 but what can I do about that," no cause really I've been trying the whole dinner not to say this but why does she have the odour of an 80 year old at 40.That really should be illegal.

The garden erupts in loud laughter,Valeria's cheeks glowing red.The night carries on with small chats between me and other family members including old cousins and new, and me making fun of everyone in my head, occasionally to Leon.

The night ends on a good note walking down the beach with Dimitri,hand in hand,and our kids.Today might have been one of the funniest nights of my life,but overall I still hate them.Smiley face.
