“Thank you so much. I owe you big time,” I say when I pull away.

He slides his hands around and grips my ass. “Yeah, and don’t forget what you owe me.”

“Just consider me Santa’s little helper.” I wink, and he groans.

“All right, stop with that, or I’m going to be Santa sporting a hard-on all night.”

I laugh and walk over to the closet where I hung the Santa suit in a garment bag earlier. “Everything you should need is in there, even the belly. Hopefully the boots will fit.”

He unzips the garment bag and shakes his head. “I can’t believe I’m doing this. Things have really gone full circle.”

I place my hands on his chest. “You’re going to be great. Now I have to go make sure everything is set. You’re up before dinner, and we can leave together afterward. I’ll meet you downstairs in the condo lobby.”

His eyes widen. “Wait. You mean I can’t come back in here and change?”

I shake my head. “No, you have to leave as soon as you’ve handed out all the presents, otherwise the kids will know you aren’t actually Santa.”

“So I have to go home like this?” He gestures to the garment bag on the bed with the bright-red velvety fabric poking out.

I cringe. “I’ll bring your stuff down with me. I guess we could ask the concierge if you can use the restroom to change.”

He shakes his head. “Actually, I think I’ll stay dressed like this. No one will be able to tell who I am, but you’re the one who will have to walk beside me.” He grins.

“As if I care if I have to walk with Santa.”

He rolls his eyes playfully. “That’s right, it’s probably foreplay for you.”

I chuckle. “I’ll have you know, I’ve never wanted to bang Santa in all my life, regardless of how much I love Christmas.”

“Well, you’ll be banging him tonight, so you better get used to the idea.”

Shaking my head, I walk over to the door before we find ourselves with our lips locked and pawing at each other. “I’ll come get you when we’re ready for you. All you have to do is ask each child their name, what they want for Christmas, whether they’ve been good or not… you know the drill. Then I’ll pass you a present to give to them as an early Christmas gift and that’s it.”

He pushes a hand through his hair. “All right, I can handle that.”

“If you have any problems with the suit, text me. I’ll come in here as soon as I can step away.”

He nods. “Got it.”

“And thank you. I really appreciate it.”

His face softens, and I hope that’s because he sees how appreciative I am to him for stepping in to help. A soft smile creases the corner of his lips. “Anything for you.”

I give him a smile of my own and leave the room in disbelief at how lucky I am to have found this man and have him in my life. It’s a Christmas miracle.

ChapterTwenty-Nine

Icannot believe I’m going through with this. I look beyond ridiculous. There’s no way these kids are going to believe I’m Santa. I feel like a phony.

There’s a soft knock on the door, then Kenzie peeks her head in. I can tell she’s trying not to laugh. Her blue eyes flicker with amusement and she presses her lips together as though she’s trying not to lose it.

I point at her. “Not a word.”

She raises her hands as though she would never, but it’s so obvious she’s about three seconds away from busting a gut. “We’re ready for you, Santa. The kids are very excited.”

I point at her. “Elf costume. Don’t forget.”
