Chapter 33
It's been five months since Tess and I met. She's been pretty busy running the resort for the winter.
"This one, Daddy," Willow calls out to me. I promised her a Christmas tree, but the rest of the pack doesn't celebrate Christmas. Since they worship the moon Goddess, I guess that makes sense, however, Willow and I grew up human, so I grab my axe and have her stand back.
Getting everything tied down in the back of my truck takes a little time, then we head home to set it up. Micco and Tess don't understand the whole tree aspect of Christmas, but agreed to celebrate with us, as long as we agreed to celebrate the Winter Solstice with them. What's fair is fair. I think Willow is excited about both; more presents.
Willows's sixth birthday was spent at the resort snowboarding with Tess, Micco, Marco, and the whole Morris gang. Even Holt and Val showed up, tiara in hand. Holt has taken over his pack and is now the Alpha. They'll be coming up for Christmas since Solstice is a pack celebration for them.
Willow and I find our box of tree ornaments from the cabin and return home just in time to set the tree up and string the lights around before Tess comes home. "Mommy! Look at the tree. I picked it. Isn't it pretty?" The tree is a sugar pine that stands about 10 feet tall to fit the vastness of the room.
"It's a lovely tree." She answers as she's pulled into the living area, but I can hear the skepticism in her voice.
I pull her in for a kiss. "Hi, Darlin'. You're just in time to help decorate." She gives me a sarcastic smile, but I know she's going to have fun. "Willow. Go grab Grandpa so he can help too." Willow rushes off and I fill mugs with hot cocoa. "You know we have these things at the resort. People spend Christmas there every year. It's not like I've never seen one." Tess informs me as she sips her cocoa.
I kiss her soft hair and she pulls it free from the tight bun. I hum watching the strands shimmer as she shakes her hair out. "But have you decorated one with your family? It's much more fun." She rolls her eyes while my fingers glide through the silky trusses. I kiss her mark and inhale her sweet scent. "Mmm. You smell sweeter than usual."
Her cheeks turn pink and she holds up her mug. "Must be the whipped cream."
I shrug it off as Willow drags Micco out of his office. "Come on Grampy. You have to hold me up so I can put the star on top. But not yet. The star is always last." "Uh, alright." He answers and Willow starts digging out ornaments for everyone to place. I pull Tess to her feet and we all start working on making the tree sparkle.
Tess and Micco both have smiles on their faces and even let out a few laughs. Once we're finished and Willow places the star, we all sit down to admire our work. "You know, sweetie, I think it is a very pretty tree," Tess tells Willow as she plays with her hair. Willow beams with pride.
Since we're out of school for the next two weeks, Willow and I spend our time shopping for gifts for both of the holidays. We also get a massive roast and all the fixings for Christmas dinner. Although Tess usually works Christmas day, she promised to get the time off by having Avery fill in.
I feel Tess's eyes on me as I'm putting the last piece of tape on Willow's Solstice gift. "You said books are normal Solstice gifts, right?" I ask, not even turning around.
"Yep. We'll read them by lantern light while drinking mulled cider, well, plain cider for Willow." Her arms wrap around me while her head rests against my back.
"Everything alright, Darlin'?" I ask as I turn to hold her in my arms. I rest my cheek against her hair and close my eyes, enjoying the feel of her.
With a hum, Tess tilts her head up. I open my eyes to look into hers. Her eyes are so full of depth that I can easily get lost in them. "Everything is perfect. I've never been so happy. I feel so complete."
I pull her hair free from her bun then comb out the strands with my fingers. "Complete, huh?"
"Don't you?"
I want to tell her that I feel the same, but I honestly feel like something is missing and I know exactly what it is. "I don't know, I think there's someone that hasn't quite joined our little family yet."
"I know you want a son, big guy." She says then reaches up to kiss my mark.
"It's not from lack of trying. Is it only through your heat that you can get pregnant? If I'm not a wolf, I can't knot inside you. Maybe my being human is preventing..."
"Shh." Her fingers gently cover my lips. "You already made one little wolf and she's absolutely adorable. It's not only during my heat that I can get pregnant, it's just more likely in wolf form. It'll happen, Cody."
I pick her up, holding her luscious ass in my hands. "Well, let's keep trying, then."
She giggles but pulls my shirt over my head just before I toss her on the bed. Her eyes follow her hands as she roams my body. I pull her pants off in one go and climb up between her legs. She pulls off her top then I reach behind her back to the clip of her bra. With one hand her glorious breasts are free and I take the time to suckle each one. She watches me with desire in her eyes and rapture in her breath. I slowly move down her body with kisses and nibbles. She hisses when my mouth falls on her sexy, wet panties. "You're ready for me, aren't you, Darlin?" She bites her bottom lip and nods.
I pull her panties down her legs then settle back to the apex of her thighs. My hands skim the skin of her legs, up to her beautiful trimmed pussy. I use my thumbs to part her lips and my tongue to stroke the length of her beautiful, pink sex. I settle on her clit then move back down in a continuous, yet torturous pattern.

Tess grips my hair while I take the time to worship her the way she deserves. I send her soaring, but I don't relent until she screams my name, her legs are shaking, and she traps my head between her thighs. It's at this point that I allow her to catch her breath while I free my aching erection and enter her warm silky depths. Tonight calls for slow, controlled, and deep thrusts. When Tess reaches her climax, I still deep inside her while she pulls every drop of cream from within me. We fall asleep still joined as one.
"Mommy, Daddy, it's Solstice! Grampy says to get up for breakfast." Willow says while knocking at the door.
"Willow, tell Grampy we'll be down in a minute... wait, is Grand pappy here?" Tess asks.
"Yeah, he's letting me make the pancakes."
Tess and I both let out a relieved sigh. "Alright, Sunshine, we'll be right there. We're just going to shower first."
"She's gone. You go shower first since you're quicker." Tess says while pushing me out of the bed. I chuckle as my morning tent regains its post. "Wait." She bites her lip. "We have time for a quick one." I laugh but accommodate her wish. Pressing on her clit and kneading her breasts while she rides me gets her to her climax quickly, which in turn gets me to mine. She climbs off of me and then shoves me away. "Hurry up. I need to wash my hair and shave."
I love my little minx. "Leave your hair down, would ya Darlin'." I wink then take my quick 3-minute military shower.
I leave Tess behind to go help with breakfast. She emerges just as Micco gets the table set. "Glad you could join us." He says with a teasing smile.
Tess looks gorgeous in her red sweater, dark wash skinny jeans, and her hair hanging long to her waist. I wolf whistle and she rolls her eyes then takes her seat. Marco elbows me to get my attention back onto the stove. "Mommy, we match!" Willow is also in a red sweater and dark-washed jeans.
Tess holds Willow's hand to give her a spin. "You look beautiful as always, sweetie. Did Grampy brush your hair? He used to love brushing my hair when I was little."
"Yeah." She answers as she does another twirl. We sit down for breakfast then Willow opens her gift. We spend most of the day outside, but come nightfall, we light the lanterns. Lanterns are prevalent throughout the pack houses. Some are made from jars, some from paper bags. There are some shaped like stars while some are spherical, but most are cylindrical. A few houses have them hanging from their trees. It's spectacular to see the soft flickering lights all around. Tess brings me a glass jar of cider then we all sit together to read stories of winter and snow while curled up in soft blankets.
Three days later I wake early to place the Christmas gifts under the tree and start Christmas breakfast, which isn't much different from Solstice breakfast. The sun has just begun to peak over the mountains and Willow is the first to wake. Still in her foot jammies, she pads all through the upstairs hall saying "Wake up, it's Christmas!" She rushes down the stairs excited to see all the gifts and filled stockings. "Daddy! Did Santa eat the cookies?" "Look and see where you left them."

"Christmas is too early for my tastes," Marco grumbles but still joins us. I hand over mugs of coffee which seems to put him in a better mood. "Alright Miss Willow. How does this work? Do we just all grab our gifts or do we take turns?" "I'll play Santa and give you your presents." She grabs the first gift she can find and gives it to Micco. Each gift is handed out then she announces; "Okay, now you can open your presents." Tess gasps at the diamond earrings from me. Willow goes nuts over her Barbie doll and dog set.
All the gifts are opened and I'm ready to pull the breakfast casserole out of the oven. Tess grabs my hand. "Wait, Willow, I think you missed one. There's one in the tree there. See it?"
After a minute of searching, she finds the little box. "It's for me!" She wastes no time in tearing open the package to hold up a bright pink shirt.
"What does it say?" Tess asks.
"I don't know." She answers.
"Ask Daddy to read it for you." Willow stands up to face me holding up the shirt.
I glance at the shirt. The writing is in cursive, no wonder she couldn't read it. "It says Best big..." My mouth drops open and I look at Tess. "Really?" She bites her lip and nods. "Oh, Darlin'." I can't hold back, I'm too filled with joy. I pull her to me and kiss her hard.
"What's it say?" Willow whines.
Micco answers as Tess and I are preoccupied. "It says Best Big Sister."
Willow squeals and jumps up and down. "I'm going to be a sister!"
