The sun shines on me, the first few rays warming my face, the wind making me shiver a little but that's gone when I hear my son's laughter. Turning around I find my husband carrying him, a big grin on his lips.

My heart melt just seeing this image. How in the world did everything came to this?

I still remember the first time I saw him at a dinner with my family. The moment our eyes connected I knew we were meant for each other; even though we both denied it.

Liam runs past me, Lucy chasing him; he's obviously a lot faster than her though she's keeping up pretty well. Liam yells at her playfully. "I won't give you your phone when you don't agree with how awesome I am."

He stops right in front of the black SUV a little farther down, Lucy's panting, crossing her arms in front of her.

"I already said that on the plane, why do I need to repeat myself?" a frown forms between her brows.

"Because I like it when you say it, Pumpkin-"

"-Don't call me that!" she's acing all annoyed although I know she loves that nickname. Pumpkin. It has something.

I even think she has a small crush on him but she will never admit it. Not to me at least. Who would want to admit their crush to their mother?

Lucy grumps something which makes Liam's smile even brighter and gives her phone back. She takes it, turns around abruptly and her face lights up when she sees me staring.

"Emi-Mom" she corrects. Lucy is our adopted daughter and she's been living with us over the past year. It's really fun to have her around although it's sometimes hard to take care of a teenager.

Actually two to be exact because Liam is around too a lot. His mom is back in New York, soon marrying her new boyfriend but she doesn't make time for her own son.

What for mom would do that? Not I at least. I try to watch Liam's game as much as I can, it's difficult with work and being pregnant back then but I made it work. And Lucy joined the volleyball club which I approve of; now I can watch both games.

"Butterfly..." Mateo whisper close to my ear, his breath sending shivers down my spine. "You look gorgeous in that dress." I giggle and face him, making sure my yellow summer dress is floating around me. "Vincent really wants his mama to hold him." He shrugs like it doesn't bother him but it does.

Vincent is closer to me than to Mateo which makes him sad sometimes. He tries to be a better dad than his own, which is working because Mateo is better, the best even, but he doesn't feel it. Complaining he should take some time off but he can't.

Work has been busy these last couples of months, for me and Mateo. I took time off, raising our 6 month old son is a workout you know.

"Aww...Come here, baby..." Mateo sets Vincent in my arms, kissing the top of his head before kissing my lips softly, lingering there for just a few second longer than usual. I will never get enough of his lip, ever.

***

We park in front of our Bungalow. 4 SUV following behind us and it kind of kills me. Couldn't we be just alone? The 4 of us? I get that Mateo has a lot of enemies but sometimes it irritates me. At least we're on an vacation.

"I love this place!" Lucy jumps up and down when she steps out, admiring the beautiful building in front of us.

"Where are we again?" Liam asks, standing right behind Lucy and Mateo answers him casually.

"Maldives," he gives me a quick wink before walking towards Kevin, who just stepped out of one of the 4 SUV.

"I want to swim as soon as I pack out," Lucy says, turning towards the sea right in front of us.

Our Bungalow is just placed at the coast which is for me a perfect position. I could wake up, take a warm morning walk, maybe even swim in the sea while I enjoy every little second here.

I and Mateo went on a vacation once and it was to Italie to meet his family so that wasn't something special; that's what he claimed. This for the matter is our real vacation with our new family. Finally.

"Let's go inside," Mateo now stands next to me, looking down at us for a minute too long and I wonder what's wrong; we've been together almost a year so I know something is bothering him.

"I want the room with the sea-view!" Liam yells to us, Lucy following behind him, giggling.

"Do you think those two will be together?" I ask Mateo who scrunches his nose in an adorable way.

"I'm going to kill Liam if he would, nobody is going to touch my daughter," I love the way he's so overprotective of her. In the beginning Mateo was awkward around Lucy but now...now he's like a real father-figure to her and I think it helps both of them.

"Let's go inside and check everything out."

"I want to go swimming." Turning, I look at Mateo who is on his phone, texting. I make my way toward him and wrap my arms around his shoulders before I kiss his neck softly, "Hey."

He puts the phone down, "Hey," his voice is frustrated and I wonder if I should ask or not. I know that he doesn't like being pushed, hell I don't either, but if this is something serious we need to figure it out together; like always.

"What's wrong?" I sit on his lap, straddling him. His hand cup by butt cheeks automatically while he smiles up.

"Nothing," I frown and he knows that I don't believe him, "My dad is giving me endless shit about my new plan to expand..." he takes a deep breath, "...and also about how I should raise our son."

"Mateo," I whisper gently, cupping his cheeks, "We'll raise our son how we want to; there isn't a right or wrong method. We can only love and take care of him." He smirks up at me with my reply.

"I want to thank the old me for marrying this amazing woman," his lips find mine again and I'm happy that he came into my life as well.

His hands move higher up to my waist, taking my dress with him as well until it's off my body in one go. Our kiss breaks and he takes the time looking at my body; I've been gaining a lot of weight when I was pregnant so my body isn't like the old days which makes me insecure sometimes.

"Don't even think about it," he replies to my insecurities, shaking his head, "You're hot as fuck, Emily," to prove his point he squeezes my cheeks. "I like this," then he goes to my breast, "Fuck, let's not forget these," he kisses and sucks on then through my lacy bra. I gasps when he squeezes my ass again roughly this time, "And I fucking love this." I roll my eyes; he's such an ass-man.

"You are crazy," my lips brushes his with each word I say.

"Crazy for you," his cheeky reply makes me giggle. "What? It's true," our lips meet again and I choose to take the lead this time by kissing down his cheeks to his neck, sucking on the parts I know he loves; for example the nape between his neck and shoulder. A groan leaves him and I feel him harden beneath me. "Fuck," I move my hips over his, his crotch twitching each time.

"God, I really want you right now," my voice is this low, sexy murmur I know drives him wild.

In the past couples of months I've been more confident with my sexual side. Maybe because we've been practicing a lot too...

My hands travel down his amazing body. I really need to thank Sebastian and Celeb for dragging him to the gym every Wednesday.

"I love you," he whispers against my lips, his tongue darting into mine mouth the second I made my way back up.

"I love you too, Mateo," I'm about to pull his shirt off and explore every inch of his body with my mouth when we hear someone crying in the attached room next to us.

"Vincent..." Mateo says this on a sigh and I laugh.

"Well, this is being a parent. Get used to it," I stand up and make my way towards the door, making sure my hips swings extra just to tease him a bit and it works when I hear the groan.

"At least we get naked time tonight!" he yells playfully while I give my son some milk to drink.

Yes, Mateo, naked time it is...
