“He stole your song!” Sarah felt her blood boil.
Up on the stage, Will leaned into the mic. He caught Sarah’s eye, and was that a smirk? She flipped him the bird, but Will just kept singing.
“He must’ve heard us rehearsing,” said Sarah.
“Or West spilled the beans.” Tad made a guttural sound. “That just leaves our duet.”
“We’ll still kick his ass.” Sarah grinned confidently, but inside, she was cringing, watching her victory go up in smoke. They’d worked so hard on their set: Tad’s sexy rendition ofWhat Are You Doing,flowing seamlessly into the tango version ofSo This Is Christmas.They’d practiced that tango till Sarah’s head spun, but would it be enough to beat Will and his whole family?
In the end, it came close, but they walked off with second, and beat a quick retreat before Will could find them. Sarah wasn’t a sore loser, but if Will dared gloat right now, she might just smack him.
“At least West wasn’t there to see his dad lose,” said Tad, as they rolled up on the ranch.
“We didn’tlose,exactly,” said Sarah.
“We didn’t win.”
“But we’re still in the game.” Sarah hopped out of the truck and led Tad inside. Mom had left them a note on the hall table—took West home for a sleepover with Ann and Beth. You two have fun, and merry Christmas.Tad read it aloud and his brows went up.
“‘Have fun’? What’s she saying?”
“That we should have a good time?” Sarah winked. “About karaoke, I haveoneregret.”
“And what might that be?”
“Missing out on your song.” She reached up and cupped his cheek, his beard rough on her palm. “Your voice on those low notes makes me weak in the knees.”
“Oh, it does, does it?” Tad took her in his arms and began to sway, leaning in close to croon in her ear. The kiss of his breath made her neck prick with gooseflesh; the burr of his voice set her belly on fire. She closed her eyes and lost herself in his song, in the thrum of the low notes so close to her chest, his hand on her hip, his lips to her ear.
“Don’t stop,” she whispered. Tad’s hand stole up her back, under her shirt. His nails on her bare skin made her moan out loud. She pushed him back on the couch and let him pull her down with him, straddling his lap, leaning in for a kiss. Tad kissed back with a fire she hadn’t expected. A hot blaze raged through her, awakening sensations she’d forgotten she could feel.
“Sarah…” He fumbled with the buttons on her shirt. She tore his off, caution swept away on a wave of desire. Tad laughed, nipped her earlobe, making her squeal.
“Tell me you have protection.” His voice rumbled deep, and she felt her toes curl.
“Upstairs,” she gasped. “In my dresser.”
Tad scooped her up in his arms, still humming his song. Sarah held on tight, legs clasped about his waist. They made it upstairs somehow, weaving their clumsy way in the dark, and then Sarah shrieked as Tad flung her on the bed.
“I like this side of you,” she said. “This wild man, this—”
Tad cut her off with another kiss. Sarah reached for a condom. She tore it open one-handed and rolled it on. Tad batted her hand away, and then he was teasing, his thumb on her clit. He circled it softly, his touch so light her whole body ached for more. She arched, bucked her hips, but Tad held her down.
“Tell me what you want.”
“You. I wantyou.” She grabbed his hair and twisted, but Tad only smiled.
“Where do you want me?”
“You know where. Right here.” She gripped his cock with her free hand and guided him inside. Tad eased in so slow she shuddered. She thumped her fist on the bed and pulled his hair. The words burst out—fuck me!—and Tad did just that. He rode her hard, and she matched him thrust for thrust, arching to meet him as he plunged in deep. Her head swam and she floated, hot bursts of pleasure crackling through her frame.
“Sarah. I’m close.”
She nodded, gasped harshly, digging her nails into his back. She felt him go over, and he took her with him. Then his hand found hers, and they lay sweetly entwined, his head on her shoulder, her leg between his.
“You—you remembered to lock the door, right?”
Sarah chuckled, breathless. She had no idea. “No one’ll come in,” she said.
