ELSIE

Kisses being prepared all over my face is what waked me up this morning. Not the sunlight peeking through the curtains but soft, delicate lips.

The kisses are planted over my forehead, eyes, then lips, cheeks, then trailed down my jaw and neck.

I tried to turn on my back but strong hands held me in place.

"Fenix..." I groaned and tried to get away when his kisses became ticklish. I felt him pull the straps of my thin tank top. The material slid down, barely covering my nipples.

His tongue darted out and I felt french kisses being placed all over my collarbone, above my breasts.

What has gotten into him this morning?

I giggled and turned to my side.

"Happy birthday to my girl." His voice rumbled and my eyebrows furrowed.

Shit! It was my birthday.

How did I forget?

I slowly started to open my eyes. I lifted my hands above my head and stretched. Fenix's hand flew to my exposed stomach and he rubbed my bare skin gently.

He was fully clothed, with a t-shirt and sweatpants while I was lying under him in panties and a tank top.

"It's my birthday..." My words trailed off and I placed my hands over my tits in embarrassment when I saw his eye stay there.

He has seen me completely naked yet I was shy under his stare. His green eyes darken but nevertheless, he lifted his gaze to my flushed face.

"Yeah it is. Now let's get you up." He pulled the covers off me and took a hold of my hands. I sat up and ran my fingers through my hair. It must be all over the place.

In the past I never really paid too much attention to my birthday. Only if I had enough money to afford myself a nice cake to celebrate with Ian.

For this year, so many things have happened that I completely forgot about it.

I crawled to the edge of the bed and before I was able to get off, I help a sting sensation on my ass. Did he just spank me?

I turned around with a gasp. I rubbed the pain away and laughed.

"Fenix what is up with you today?" He just smirked and leaned on his elbow.

"You're acting like you are in heat." I joked and giggled. A chuckle rumbled through his chest and he tilted his head back, his Adam's apple bobbing up while he laughed.

"Maybe I am, now go get ready before I pull you back in bed and show you what being in heat means." My face began to blush but despite that I shook my head with a smile.

"Something's definitely up with you. Ever since Ian brought up the baby brother talk, you have been devouring me even with your eyes." I crossed my hands in front of me and tapped my leg on the floor.

All I wanted to do was laugh at the face he made but I restrained myself from doing so.

"Elsie I swear if you don't get ready... the food's gonna get cold and here you are provoking me." He stared to get up but I quickly ran to the bathroom while chuckling.

I stripped from my clothes and tied my hair up before I stepped into the shower. I washed my body in the speed of light and then dressed in the bathrobe that was hanging on the door.

When I got out of the bathroom, Fenix was not here thankfully because I'm pretty sure he would have taken this bathrobe off me.

I chose an outfit quickly and headed downstairs. He did say that the food was ready.

Just as I reached the kitchen, I was met with a heartwarming sight. Ian and Fenix were putting the utensils and the glasses on the table.

Fenix must have woken him up and dressed up as well because they were dressed similarly. Or maybe Ian wanted to look like him.

"Good morning boys." I said and walked over to them. Ian immediately ran up to me and wrapped his hands around my waist and buried his head in my stomach. He was getting taller.

"Happy birthday Eli!" He exclaimed and clasped his hands together when he pulled away.

"Thank you Ian."

I kissed the top of his head.

"We woke up really early and made you food. Fenix made cupcakes for you." My eyebrow arched and I looked up at him. He had a boyish smile on his face as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh, did he now?" I took Ian's hand and we sat by the table.

There was a lot of food on the table and I'm surprised they had time to do all of this. The cupcakes were on the side. They were with white frosting and had thin candles on top.

"Thank you for the breakfast." I kissed Fenix on the lips and we began to eat. I was seated next to my husband while Ian was opposite of us.

Of course, Fenix's hand had to be around me as we ate.

Ian began telling me how they prepared the food and then talked about school things.

He was also excited to celebrate my birthday.

When we finished with the food, I helped them clean the table and then Fenix lit the candles while Ian sang happy birthday to me.

I blew the candles and thanked them again after hugging both of them. The cupcakes were actually pretty good despite him making them for the first time. Fenix patiently waited for my reaction.

"They are amazing."

"We'll get you a cake as well when we celebrate your birthday on Saturday."

"You don't have to do that. This is enough." I said and took a hold of his hand.

"No it's not. Now it's time for the second gift." He stood up and tugged me towards the living room. Huh? What kind of second gift.

Ian followed after us with a smile on his face. He must know what is up.

Before we stepped into the living room, Fenix covered my eyes and I walked slowly.

When he stopped, I did as well.

He slowly removed his hands and I looked in front of me. There were around ten boxes on the sofa. They were wrapped up, with red bows on them.

I didn't even check the living when I got downstairs so I didn't even see them.

"Open them."

I stepped towards the closest one and opened it. As soon as I saw the name, I gasped.

Manolo Blahnik.

"Fenix, oh my God!" I squeaked and quickly opened the whole box. My eyes shined when I lifted the pair of green heels in my hands.

I have always dreamed of having shoes like these ones.

"Do you like them?" Fenix asked.

"Are you kidding me? I love them. Absolutely in love. Thank you, thank you. I knew you secretly loved my colourful fashion sense." I jumped into his hands and hugged him.

I opened all of the boxes one by one. They were in different colours, some of them limited collections. I couldn't even express how much I adore all of them.

"But Fenix these are really expensive."

"And?"

"What and? And there are like ten pairs of them."

"I wasn't even looking at the prices and neither should you." Of course he didn't. I sighed in defeat and didn't bother saying anything else. It's not like he was going to care if I told him not to buy me expensive gifts like these ones.

"And now the last gift for today." What? More gifts?

He pulled out an envelope from his pocket and placed it on my palm.

With curiosity inviting my mind, I carefully opened it. Ian giggled and clasped his hands together in excitement and waited for my reaction.

I took out the paper and started to read.

When I read the whole thing, I looked up at Fenix.

"Trip to Fiji Islands?"

"Mhmm." He nodded and grinned down at me.

Ian jumped up and down. I leaned my head on Fenix's chest and snuggled myself to him. This was too much.

"Thank you so much. I don't know even know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything, baby. You deserve even more than this." I arched my head up and gazed up at his eyes. He cupped my face and ran his thumbs over my cheeks.

"There is one thing I have to say to you actually." I began to talk and felt the knot tighten in my throat. I wanted to say it for such a long time.

I have fallen in love with him way before but I was scared to say the words.

Ian sat on the sofa and began to look at the heels and distracted himself while me and Fenix talked.

"What is it?"

I learned the words in Irish and when I did, I realised that he already said them to me at his grandma's house. When he spoke in Irish he said I love you yet I was completely clueless.

"Is breá liom tú." I said with a grin, my accent probably horrible. I might have even said something completely wrong but I hope he understood what I meant. (I love you)

He didn't said anything but he cupped the back of my head and smashed his lips onto mine.

I lifted myself on my tip toes and circled my hands around his neck.

"I love you." He murmured against my skin. "I love you so much."

"I love you, Fenix."

Manolo Blahnik heels (i'm in love with them🥹)
