“Amazing as always, Lenn.”

“Thanks, Si.” Slade put her on her feet, her customary dresses and hair back to her usual standards. Tonight she wore a navy dress with the zodiac on it, and star stockings. It was beautiful on her, and she kept twirling, the satin skirt of it swishing with each motion.

“It’s about that time, folks. Grab a glass and raise it with me as we prepare for the countdown.”

We grabbed ours off the table, smiling at one another as the countdown started. It wasn’t really midnight, only about 7 pm, but we were counting down with Europe, the event wanting everyone to be home early and safe before actual midnight. Altogether, we began counting down. “Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.”

The music played, and squeakers blared as everyone shouted, “Happy New Year.”

Slade grabbed Lennox, kissing her deeply before releasing her to his brother. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he dipped her, causing her to laugh as he brought his lips to hers. I’d been watching them, so I missed Slade’s approach until he grabbed my neck, pulling me to him. “Don’t think you don’t get one too, Si.” He slammed his lips to mine, the taste of the champagne still on his lips as our tongues danced. His grip tightened on me, and I moaned at the action.

“Fuck, I want you,” he murmured, pulling away from me, our breathing heavy. We stared at one another, and I kissed him gently, touching my lips to his. “Then take me.”

Moaning, he kissed me back before releasing me and turning. “We can leave now, right, Peach?”

She was fanning herself, apparently enjoying the show we’d just given her. “Uh-huh.”

“Good. Make your goodbyes. I’m ready to be home.”

She smiled, kissing me quickly and then did as Slade had demanded. Thane rolled his eyes at his brother, but held Lennox’s hand as she pulled him to say bye to her parents and Bubba. He’d given us all the third degree, but had finally accepted our relationship with her. I’d never realized how much of a big brother he’d come to be for Lennox.

Slade grabbed mine, pulling me through the banquet room we found ourselves in. We’d been invited to some function at the college, Lennox’s semi-famous status getting us all sorts of invitations. We’d all agreed to go tonight because her parents had wanted to attend. Anything that made Robin excited was something we all desired to give her. Noah had been upset he had to stay home, but when we left, he’d seemed fine with the pile of video games and junk food he had around him at my parents’ house.

Slade pulled me hard through the people, not caring if they got out of his way or not, bulldozing as he did through whoever. The air hit our flushed skin as we left the upper doors. The night air was cold but felt refreshing at that moment. Slade kept walking, not stopping to wait, and I figured he wanted to pull the car around to the other entrance.

Except when we got to the car, he shoved me up against the door, kissing me. His hands were in my hair, tugging as he rocked into me. Puffs of air could be seen around us as we battled the elements in our frenzy. His hand slipped down between us, slipping into my pants, and I moaned as he squeezed the head of my cock.

“Shit, babe.”

“If it wasn’t colder than a witch’s tit out here, I’d drop to my knees and bring in the new year with head, but I don’t think you want your balls freezing off.”

“Uh, that’s a no.” I laughed, shaking my head. “Come on, let’s get the other two and we can be home and resume this.”

“Fuck, you’re hot when you’re all logical and shit.”

Slade opened the door for me, winking as he shut me in before he jogged around to the other door, sliding in. Rubbing his hands together to gain some warmth, he started the car and drove over to the front entrance. Lenn and Thane rushed out when we pulled up, not wanting to be in the cold any longer than necessary.

“Holy guacamole, it’s so dang cold.”

“I’ll keep you warm,” Thane mumbled, making Slade gag upfront. He’d accepted them being together but enjoyed making comments about it to tease them.

“You’re just jealous, Brother.”

“Hmm.”

Snorting, I sat back, enjoying the normalcy our little unit had found.

Ten minutes later, we pulled into Slade’s house, but it really was all of ours at this point. Thane had officially ended his job at the clinic, moving all of his belongings here over Christmas. Lenn and I had closed out our lease as well, and we’d made a cozy home together. Slade parked in the garage next to Lennox’s new car, the one we’d all surprised her with for Christmas. It wasn’t yellow like she’d had, but it was a baby blue, and we offered to have it painted if she wanted it to be yellow again. In the end, she decided to keep it blue, and it had been dubbed Buddy Blue in honor of Slade’s Halloween costume.

He acted affronted by the joke, but I knew he secretly enjoyed it.

“Last one inside is a rotten egg,” Lennox challenged, opening the door and taking off. The three of us looked at one another and then took off, not wanting to find out what being a rotten egg would entail.

Her giggles led us to where she was hiding, though the trail of clothing was also a good clue. By the time we made it to the master bedroom, I’d spotted her underwear and bra on the floor. The only lights in the room were from the Christmas tree, the soft white and color bulbs twinkling. Lennox had insisted on having three Christmas trees, and at this point, we couldn’t deny her anything. She was lying on the bed, her legs kicked up as she watched us enter. When we were all in the room, she held up some mistletoe and winked.

“Who’s going to get caught kissing me under the mistletoe?”

Slade, never one to wait, pounced. He’d already taken off most of his clothes, his pants the only thing left, and they were already unzipped. I watched as he walked forward, his eyes on Lennox.
