“The one we put up in the study this morning, kitten,” Dylan called out behind me.“Next year, we’ll drag your sexy ass out of bed to help us.”
“A Christmas tree?”I squealed, excitedly racing past Trevor.
After my parents died, Mellie and I spent cozy but subdued Christmases together, not bothering to put up a tree.A pang of sadness pierced my heart that she wasn’t here—but in South America with Enrique—to celebrate the holiday with me, but Dylan and Nick were doing everything in their power to make it a special day for me.
I skidded to a halt in the study and stared at colorful lights and beautiful decorations on the massive tree.Then, I dropped my gaze to the mound of presents beneath it.
“Here, please take these, Trevor.I’ll be right back.”
Shoving more presents in his arms, I turned and raced to the media room and gathered the gifts I’d hidden for my Masters.I hurried back to the study and helped him place Mistress Sammie’s presents beneath the tree as the Dominants strolled into the room.
Quickly finishing my task, I ran to Dylan and Nick and hugged them fiercely.“The tree is gorgeous.Thank you.Thank you both so much.”
“We’re glad you like it.”Dylan smiled and kissed the top of my head.
“Is Emerald spending Christmas alone?”Mika asked Drake.A hint of anguish flashed over his amber eyes.
“No.She’s spending it with George and Leagh,” Drake replied.
As Drake tugged off the Santa suit and beard and eased onto the long, leather couch, Trevor dropped his chin and clenched his jaw.
My gut told me there was history between Mika and Emerald, and out of all the people in the room, I was the only one in the dark as to what had happened.
“Savannah, Trevor, would you please go to the kitchen and bring in the coffee and sweet rolls for us?”Nick asked, breaking the awkward silence that had settled over the room.
“Right away, Sir.”I smiled, dragging Trevor out of the room in a tight hug.
Once safe inside the kitchen, I pulled him next to me.Giving a cursory glance around the room, I leaned in.“Okay, what the hell is up with Mika and Emerald?”
“Nothing, and don’t ask me anymore about it, please,” Trevor begged in a tiny whine.
An immediate rush of guilt slammed me.“I’m sorry.It’s none of my business.I shouldn’t be prying.”
“Don’t be sorry.It’s just… I can’t say anything.”He sighed.
While I filled two silver carafes with coffee, Trevor arranged the cream, sugar, and mugs on a large silver tray.
“So, thereissomething going on, right?”
“No.The only people who know or have ever seen Mika are all in the study.Emerald doesn’t even know he exists.”
Though that tidbit of insight confused me even more, I bit back the urge to ask more questions as I placed the carafes on the tray, then handed Trevor the platter of sweet rolls.
“Last one in the study gets to serve.”I grinned, lifting the tray of coffee.
“Hell no, I’m not racing you.I’ll drop something.”Trevor shook his head in mock fear.“Are you trying to get my ass whipped?”
“Like you wouldn’t enjoy it?”I scoffed.
“No.I’d love it.”He giggled.
After returning to the study and serving the Doms, Trevor knelt at Drake’s feet while I settled on the floor between my Master’s legs.Together, they caressed and stroked my hair, cheeks, and shoulders with their warm fingers.Hands down, it was already the best Christmas of my adult life.
While everyone sipped coffee and devoured the pastries, the Dominants discussed everything from toys and techniques to protocol.But when they started talking about politics and religion, things quickly heated up, especially when Trevor raised his hand.
“What is it, boy?”Drake thundered after a long tirade about homophobes and organized religion.
“Can we open presents now, Master?Pretty please?”
