Adele woke up as she heard Francesco's alarm clock. She was facing Francesco on her side as he was embracing her from her waist.

Francesco reached his hand to the alarm clock and turned it off. He then held her more tightly and leaned close to Adele. He whispered as he looked into Adele's eyes " Good morning sweetheart. Sorry to wake you up."

Adele smiled " I don't mind. I was going to put the turkey in the oven. I thought it's nice to have roast turkey."

Francesco sighed " You spoil these kids. Let them eat the usual food from the compound chefs or order pizza."

Adele spoke " But the kids have that every day. I like to make a proper meal for them in weekends."

Francesco smiled " I love you. I think we should go for another round of making out like last night. Are you ready?"

Adele spoke " I love you too but honey our sons must be waiting for you right now in the compound grounds for you to coach them with their morning exercise. You should go now. Don't you think? We should become adventurous tomorrow night. Not now. It's too early in the morning to make out."

Francesco gave Adele a mischievous grin " Are you using the kids as an excuse now? They know the routine. They warm up. They run their laps around the grounds, they do push-ups, sit ups and lift weights. What's so complicated about that? They don't need me all the time. But I might drop by at the end or near the end."

Adele frowned " You are not thinking of giving them extra laps to run for last night's episode, I hope."

Francesco smiled " Hm. I can't believe that they dared to interrupt us last night. We could have an extra round if Vincenzo and Viggo hadn't been killing each other." He then chuckled " You know, they remind me of my teenage days. Especially Vincenzo. When I was his age, I felt like I could do anything and nothing could stop me. I wanted everything. I had dreams..."

Adele spoke " But Vincenzo is much more .... extreme that you ever were."

Francesco shook his head " Vincenzo is going through a phase. Maybe I went through that phase before I met you. You weren't there. But Costanzo was there with me. He can testify what I was like before I met you. I bashed up anyone who I simply didn't like looking at...."

Adele spoke in a concerned tone " But you didn't hurt Costanzo ..."

Francesco spoke " Unless I was forced to. But I did hurt Costanzo. I get it sweetheart. You don't like how Vincenzo treats Viggo and Vienna but he is their eldest brother. He is protective of them. He goes too far all the time and has a funny way of showing how he cares for his siblings but he does. He is just abit too extreme as you put it. I will fix it. I will keep an eye on him. Don't worry yourself about our sons. Now stop distracting me using our kids. Don't you want to make out. I know I do." He then leaned close kissing Adele.

Adele slightly pulled way " Darling there is time for that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I must go to the kitchen, put the roast in oven and head to church with Vienna after breakfast. You are busy with meetings all day in your office."

Francesco rolled on top of Adele and gently pinned her down to bed " That can wait. Hm. What's for breakfast?" He then planted kisses up and down Adele's jawline gently and slowly making her shiver from anticipation.

Adele spoke " Well. It's your favourite on menu as always. I am making fresh waffles. I would also make English breakfast for the kids."

Francesco pulled away " Good. I am glad our kids love English breakfast more than waffles. You and I can have the waffles with chocolate sauce and maple syrup. One day, they would realise how they have missed out on a classic home made specialty of yours. I hope they don't realise that any time soon. I can imagine Vincenzo eating all the waffles by the time I finish reading my newspaper with my tea. Luckily he doesn't prefer waffles."

Adele sighed "If he does eat your waffles, I will make more. Don't go giving him extra laps."

Francesco spoke "Stop talking about the kids. Lets have peace from them now. Don't mention them. It's just you and I right now." He then kissed Adele on the lips deeply.

Adele responded to his gentle kiss and moaned.

Francesco deepened the kiss and moved one of his hands down to her waist. He pulled away " I love your silky night dress. It's so smooth.

Adele sighed " I know. You picked it. That's why you like it. You ripped my only cotton night dress last week just like the previous ones when we were making out."

Francesco spoke " It was an accident. I bought you another night dress to replace it."

Adele sighed " Another silky night dress. I prefer cotton."

Francesco spoke " I prefer silk. It's easier when you know I help you to .... get changed. It's easier to take off. It just slips off. So it makes you get changed faster to go to work."

Adele spoke " You don't want me to go to work early. Admit it. My car keeps getting flat tires recently or it doesn't start up because screws go missing. Coincidentally such incidents happen when I refuse to have another round of making out session with you. Don't do anything to my car this time this morning. We have the next two days to each other."

Francesco spoke " Honey. Are you accusing me of something." He then sat up on her legs not letting her move " Say sorry." He then started tickling her.

Adele spoke between giggles " Stop ....." She wanted to roll around but couldn't. She laughed harder and spoke desperately" I am sorry...... Francesco."

Francesco stopped and laid on top of her again " Say my name again. You drive me crazy woman."

Adele spoke " Francesco .... It's a Sunday morning. Where do you get the energy from. I am half a sleep."

Francesco spoke " I get it from you. From our kids. From this bedroom that has your rosy scent all over it. From the aroma of your cooking every day."

Adele and Francesco stared into each others eyes silently and both smiled.

Adele spoke " I love you."

Francesco spoke " I love you more."

Adele then looked at the clock and spoke " Every good moment has to end. Actually, I should go to kitchen now and you should go to do your workout in the gym getting ready for breakfast. You have a long day ahead with your meetings."

Francesco looked at his watch and sighed " Fine. But it's not over. We catch up where we left off tonight." He then got up from top of Adele.

Adele sat up and walked away from the bed to her wardrobe. As she opened her wardrobe, she picked a white dress but heard Francesco coughing. That was his sign of disapproval.

Adele turned around " What's wrong with this dress?"

Francesco spoke as he was standing a few steps away from her " Nothing... Of course nothing. He then gave her an innocent smile."

Adele spoke "Let me guess. It's too revealing. You mean to tell me to wear it on this floor and you want me to change it for church." She then rolled her eyes and turned around towards the wardrobe and then felt his arms wrapping around her waist.

Francesco whispered in her ear "Hm. white looks nice on you but so does pink."

Adele spoke "You want me to wear my pink sweater over this. Don't you? Stop being jealous. You haven't changed one bit all these years. It's not too revealing. Come on. Also Stop talking in riddles. Out with it. Tell me what you want me to wear clearly then."

Francesco let go and then turned Adele around. He grabbed the white dress from her hand and threw it to a side table. He then rested his hands on her hips "Actually. I don't want you to wear anything. I don't want you to get changed. I want you to stay in the bedroom so we can have another round. I want all of you to myself all day today. This is all mine. For me to touch. For me to embrace. No one else is allowed to hold you but me. I love it that you are my wife, my angel, the beautiful mother of my children."

Francesco then wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up. He carried her to the wall. He put her on her feet and wasted no time to mold his body into hers. He pinned her body to the wall as he pinned her arms to the wall above her head. He planted kisses at the side if her head as he whispered in her ear "If you wear a sweater over it, then that would make me happy. It's true. That's what I want. If I am grumpy today, then tonight I would be grumpy too. It's your choice what you wear ..... But remember that my workmen are coming and workmen of some of my allies may show up too for my meetings today. I don't want to kill anyone today for looking at you twice. As you said it's Sunday. I have a beautiful wife. Men have eyes. I can't risk it. An army of men are coming to the mansion today. Be good or anyone who looks at you in the wrong way will die. You don't want that do you? If you do then it's fine. No sweater." He then smiled brightly at Adele.

Adele objected " You never give up until you get what you want. Just like always."

Francesco kissed her collar bone " Sweetheart, I already have all I want. You. I have you. I have your love. I know you never break this heart of mine."

Adele smiled " No. I don't want that. You are the father of my children. I want you to be happy. "

Francesco chuckled " You would wear the sweater then... I like that." He then moved his lips to her lips and kissed her possessively and deeply.

The kiss was demanding showing her she was his. Adele was used to this routine by now. It was hard for him to let her out of the bedroom. It was hard for him to see her in attractive clothes that he hardly even got to see during their busy days. He just wanted her to himself. He didn't instruct her on what to wear but he advised her gently and went on and on about it until she said yes with any trick he had. Their shopping trips were most times like the old times. Francesco's old habits died hard. On most occasions, he just followed Adele silently in shops and complimented clothes that he liked until she picked them and threw clothes he didn't like out of the way and said nasty comments about certain garments he didn't approve of until Adele moved on or dropped them. Adele still loved Francesco even though he had many flaws and he loved her unconditionally. The look of love he gave out at times as he looked at her and the kids was enough for her.

Francesco pulled away reluctantly after he was satisfied " I really don't want you to walk out there. Stay in this bedroom. I don't want our moments to end. It's Sunday."

Adele whispered " We have the same situation after you get back from any lengthy trip. I won't be going anywhere after all. Why can't you wait another day. I have work to do this sunday. So do you."

Francesco sighed " Too bad." He then pulled away with a disappointed look and without another word he walked to his wardrobe and got dressed in his warm up clothes. As he turned around as he got ready, he found Adele right in front of him. She smiled at him and on her tiptoes she leaned close. She gave him a kiss on his lips and pulled away " I will make it upto you tonight."

Francesco raised an eyebrow " I will be waiting." He then kissed her forehead " Make my waffles extra large for breakfast." He then walked away to the door and turned around one last time " I am counting the hours until I see you in bed again." He then winked and left.

Adele shook her head with amusement " You never change."

Francesco was smiling to himself as he walked down the corridors and made his way to the front of the compound grounds. He found his sons joking around and laughing. Vincenzo was used to teasing Viggo about his curly blonde hair. It looked like that was what was happening as Vincenzo was messing up Viggo's hair. He approached them slowly without them noticing as they were laughing.

Vincenzo shouted "Come on. Cut your hair. It's getting into your eyes everytime we wrestle. No wonder, your punches in boxing land in the wrong place."

Viggo shouted back "Back off. At least I don't let my ego tripping me over like how you do. You are too big for that head of yours. I swear. I cant believe Vienna apologised for hitting you last night after dad told us off. You totally deserved that slap. She should have had one on you."

Vincenzo shrugged "What can I say? She knows to respect her big brother."

Viggo spoke "You mean big head brother."

Then as Vincenzo was about to respond he saw his father and froze. Viggo also looked around and saw their father right close to them. "Hello father." Both said almost in unison. They then stood still unmoving waiting for their fathers' next words. They expected to be told off by their father for their conduct from last night. They were certain he was going to bring it up.

Francesco spoke "Good morning....... I just wanted to tell you that we will cut the exercise short. Your mother is making you your sunday traditional breakfast right now and we don't want to keep her waiting because she is busy with the church fundraising events today specifically. Also we will also skip weight lifting today. I want you to have a shooting exercise in the warehouse at the back of the compound instead of weightlifting. We go there now. Any objections" He then looked at his sons expectantly waiting for response.

Viggo and Vincenzo looked at each other with their mouths open. They couldn't believe they weren't getting extra laps to run. Obviously, it was their mother's doing. Miracles happened to their father's approach after their father had his so called "Do Not Disturb Long Discussion Nights" with their mother. Their father looked ready to slaughter them last night and they were certain they were going to get it either way the next morning but their father seemed in cheerful mood.

The youngsters spoke "No objections father." They then quickly followed their father as he started sprinting to the back of the grounds. The special warehouse for shooting practice was well hidden.
