“Yes! I’m so close.”
Then he placed his tongue over my clit as he curled his fingers inside me. I exploded and cried out his name as I fell into a euphoria that seemed to steal the air from the room.
It took me a few moments to fall back to reality as Lucas unzipped his pants and pushed inside of me.
“Oh, God!” I called out as another orgasm wracked through my body.
“Jesus, Hollie,” Lucas said as he lost himself in me. I loved when he made love to me. It was sweet and passionate, and I could feel the love he had for me. But moments like this, when he lost control and took me hard and fast, those were the moments my body reacted in the most delicious of ways.
“I feel you coming around me,” he said as he locked his mouth over mine. Only a few seconds later, he broke the kiss and cried out my name as he came.
Once he stopped, he held his weight off me and drew in deep breaths of air.
Locking his gaze with mine, he growled, “Fuck, you’re so addictive. I can’t get enough of you.”
My fingers laced through his hair as a contentment moved over me. I could honestly crawl back into bed and drift off to sleep, I was that relaxed.
“I feel the same. I wish we could get under the covers and stay in bed all day.”
He drew back and smiled before he kissed me softly on the lips. “Soon. Two more weeks and you and I are off for vacation.”
I sighed and dropped my arms onto the bed. “That’s too long! I want it to be the day after Christmas now!”
Kissing me on the nose, Lucas pushed off me and reached for my hand, pulling me up. “I need to get cleaned up. I have a meeting this morning.”
My mouth fell open. “You’re going to be late!”
“Knowing I’ll have the taste of you still on my tongue during the meeting will make it worth it.”
Laughing, I shook my head as I watched him clean himself off and then hand me a warm washcloth to do the same.
“No coffee then?”
“Nope, already drank a cup. Listen, I need to go. Dinner at your folks tonight?”
Groaning, I nodded. “Yes. Do you need to meet there, or can we drive together?”
“I’ll be home earlier. You?” he asked.
“I’ve got three meetings today with clients, but I’ll be finished up around one.”
He pulled me to him and kissed me. Lord, the man could kiss me senseless.
“I love you. See you later.”
As I attempted to remember how to think clearly after that kiss, I replied, “I love you too. See ya.”
Seeing as I was going to be late myself, I quickly got dressed, fixed my hair, and made a cup of coffee to go.
“I need this Christmas party to be the talk of the town,” Susan Althorp stated as we walked around the large event center she had rented.
I smiled and pulled out my notebook, where I kept all my notes for each client. “As per our previous conversations, theevent is to raise money for the Boston Children’s Hospital, and you wanted it to be a fun, light-hearted event. I went ahead and drew up some sketches of the table design you approved, but I’d like for you to get a feel for what they’ll look like so if you want anything changed, we can do that ASAP.”
Susan grinned, took the drawing from me, and then gasped. “Oh, Hollie, you really are so very talented. I’ve never had an event planner give me anything like this before.”
I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride as she stared down at the colored drawing.
“Thank you for your kind words. As you can see, I’ve kept it fun, with a few touches of glamor in there as well. The LED balloons are a simple touch, yet they give the room a more luminous feel. At the entrance of the room, tall Christmas tree balloons will greet your guests before they walk into a beautiful sea of reds, whites, and greens. Each table will have these handmade snowmen on them. Each hat will have the table number on it and will also serve as a candy cane holder. The plates will be made to look like snowmen, using a smaller salad plate as the head and the dinner plate as the body. Raisins for the eyes and buttons, and a small, felt carrot for the nose. The napkins will be folded like the top of the hat, with the knife being the rim. The fork and spoon are the arms.”
