All I Want For Christmas Read Online Free PDF

And then the wife starts bitching because she signed a prenup and is only going to get left with a few million dollars to spend in her old age.”
    “Kate, I’m going to be as honest as I possibly can with you right now. You are the love of my life and I’d gladly give my life for you, but you’ve lost your mind if you think the small percentage of clients you deal with are a good picture of the whole. I want you to be my wife. Forever. I want children with you. To grow old with you. I don’t give a damn about how much money you spend or prenups. I only know that when I go to bed at night, it’s your face I want to see on the pillow beside me. Please, Kate. Marry me.”
    Kate felt her heart clench at his words and she saw the desperation in his eyes. He meant every word he said to her. How could she not have seen it all this time?
    “Ohmigod,” she said, gasping in a breath as her tears fell faster. “I’m so sorry. I just never thought you could want to spend the rest of your life with the daughter of a thousand felonies. I looked at you three years ago when you picked me up downstairs, and all I could think was, this guy is way out of my league . I thought we’d have a few laughs and make love for as long as it lasted, and I just prepared myself for getting my heart broken. I was sure it was only a matter of time before you walked away.”
    “Oh, Kate,” he said, pulling her into his embrace and kissing her tears away. “It’s the real deal, baby. No one’s going to be walking away. Now, I asked you a question, and I’m still waiting for the answer. Will you marry me?”
    He took her hand and held the ring over her finger, ready to slip it on if she gave the answer he wanted to hear.
    “I love you, Derek. I’ve never said that to another man. And I’d be proud to be your wife. Give me that ring,” she said with a laugh as he slipped it on her finger.
    He kissed her hard and rolled her beneath him, finding her wet and ready as he pushed inside of her. He rocked against her steadily, until she began to tighten and shudder around him.
    “What do you say to a New Year’s Eve wedding?” he whispered against her ear.
    “Yesss,” she screamed as her body convulsed. He thrust one final time inside her before finding his own release.
    “Merry Christmas, Kate. You give me every reason to celebrate and be thankful.”
    Kate sighed in his arms as contentment swelled over her and covered her in sleep. It was going to be a good year.

    Chapter One
     
     
    Grant MacKenzie loved his family. Really, he did. It’s just that there were so damned many of them. Everywhere he turned, there was another MacKenzie in his path for him to trip over.
    The entire family was crammed into the old MacKenzie farmhouse for the holidays. The house had been built by his great-grandfather—a sprawling space that was added on to with every generation, so it resembled a patchwork quilt of wood and stone, the rooms jutting out at varying angles.
    Despite the disjointed construction, it was a house filled with laughter and love and memories that had endured for over a century. In fact, Grant had spent more time at the MacKenzie farmhouse growing up than he had at his own home just down the lane. His uncle had been the elder of the two MacKenzie brothers, so the house had gone to him, and then when he’d passed on the house had gone to his sons. Grant’s cousin, Thomas, currently lived there with his wife and two children, and Thomas used one part of the house for his medical practice. Considering Thomas was the only doctor in the tiny town of Surrender, Montana, the house always gave the impression that it was ready to burst at the seams.
    Grant considered himself a tolerant kind of guy. But enough was enough. He hadn’t had fifteen minutes to himself in the last week since school had gotten out and his nephews and nieces had been underfoot. He’d exhausted
