Her skin is warm against my lips, and I trail my fingers down her naked back. She shivers and grins at me before finally opening my gift.

“Oh my g—Liam! How did you know!” Her voice pitches with excitement as she hugs the fat recipe book to her chest. “This is the exact one I wanted!”

“Mick gave me a heads-up when she found me stressing at my laptop in the library. I wanted to get you something I knew you’d love.”

“I do! I do!” She holds the book out so she can run her hand over the cover. It’s a book filled with fancy sweet treat recipes. “I’m gonna make every single thing in here!”

“And maybe even redesign some stuff so you can add it to your list for that bakery you want to own one day.”

Her cheeks turn a pretty pink as she bites her bottom lip and wrinkles her nose. “Mick told you?”

“Yeah. I think it’s amazing. You’d be awesome at something like that.”

“I’ve wanted to do it since I was a kid. I’m not sure how it will happen, but one day. Maybe. For now, I will have so much fun with this!” She hugs the book again, like it’s her new favorite teddy bear.

Her excitement is gorgeous, and I drink her in, my heart squeezing so hard that I’m starting to realize this ain’t no simple crush.

What I felt that first night she arrived at Hockey House… that was a crush.

What I’m feeling right now is strong and overpowering.

Here you go again.

Thoughts of Kylie whistle through my brain. I fell so hard and fast, and then she ripped the rug right out from under me.

But that’s not gonna happen with Rachel, right?

She’s way too sweet to lead a guy on.

I sit there watching her flick through the pages, oohing and ahhing over various recipes. Showing me the colorful images, she talks a mile a minute about how she can’t wait to make this or that.

She’s gorgeous. I love the shape of her face and the smile that’s dominating it right now. I love?—

“Thank you.” Her eyes sparkle as she grabs my chin and pulls me in for a deep kiss.

It doesn’t take long for the book to be pushed aside so we can celebrate Christmas in a whole other way.

She makes me leave the jersey on and rides me like a rodeo queen. I massage her perfect breasts as she pumps my cock, then pull her against me when I’m close, lightly scraping my teeth across her shoulder, then digging my fingers into her hips when I explode inside her.

I cup the back of her head, drawing her in so I can swallow her cries of pleasure, lashing my tongue against hers and rubbing her clit until she comes while I’m still inside her.

It’s one hell of a way to start a Christmas morning.

We shower separately so I’m not tempted to ravage her in the bathroom as well, and I’m soon happily walking down to breakfast in my new Sakic jersey. She’s already at the buffet when I walk in, filling her plate with bacon and eggs. I love how much she puts on her plate. The girl loves to eat.

I grab some food and join her at the table with Ethan and Mick. They’re already nibbling on pancakes when we take a seat. Mick looks between us, smiling sweetly before wishing us a Merry Christmas.

It’s all quite polite and civil. Mick shows off the bracelet Ethan bought her. It’s a thick leather band with these cool bone carvings woven into it. Very Mick. He also bought her a keychain with Mickey Mouse on it, but she’s refusing to acknowledge that gift. Ethan can’t stop laughing as he describes her reaction when she opened it.

“Because, you know, she’s my little Mickey Mouse.” He hugs her to him, kissing her forehead with a loud smooch.

“And now I officially hate you,” she grumbles.

He lets out another loud laugh, his eyes dancing as he looks at us. “And now she’s refusing to give me my present until I apologize, so…” He shrugs. “Looks like I might be going gift free this year.”

“You got those boxers.” I point at him, wondering if he’s wearing them now.

He grins, telling me he is, and Mikayla snips, “That’s not his real gift, and he won’t be getting it at this rate.”
