The second she saw his eyes, Nobu knew. She knew that was her husband. Herex-husband. Nobu’s feet stopped mid-step, seemingly being covered by invisible cement. A quiet mutter escaped her lips as she covered her mouth with her hand. Eyes watering, Nobu’s head shook in disbelief. It shouldn’t have been a surprise to see Hendrix because this was his family’s church too, but ever since he left, they hadn’t set eyes on one another. She had no idea what had brought him back home, and placed him in that Santa suit, but Nobu couldn’t help but smile as she swallowed back her tears.
Instead of making her way down immediately, Nobu waited until he was done with the last child to slowly make her way down the aisle.
Her movements were short and jerky as her heart palpitated. As warmth radiated through her body, Nobu massaged her chest as lightness filled her excited heart.
“That’s it?” Hendrix asked, looking at the church assistant standing next to him, dressed in an Elf suit. Every request the children made, she wrote down to share with their parents.
“Um… We have one more,” Stacy announced, then giggled as she pointed in Nobu’s direction.
Hendrix looked at her, and his eyes widened and mouth hung open. His reaction to her made Nobu smile as she stepped directly in front of him. Sitting on his lap, Nobu laughed as he stared at her. She closed his mouth by pushing his chin up, causing Hendrix to chuckle as he wrapped his long arms around her.
It didn’t matter how much time passed between them, she’d never forget the man that made her soul smile or his milk chocolate brown skin and tight, dark eyes.
“What would you like for Christmas?” The thick emotion that laced his tone made her heart skip a beat. Hendrix pushed her hair from her shoulders onto her back, exposing her face fully.
Her mouth opened, but instead of any words coming out, Nobu broke out into tears. Hendrix wasted no time standing and carrying her out of the sanctuary to the single bathroom behind the choir stand. Sitting her on top of the sink, he wiped her eyes while she pulled his hat and beard off. Each kiss that he placed against her face had her body shivering and nipples hardening as she sniffled, but the moment his lips almost grazed hers she pushed him away.
“What are you doing?” she checked, unraveling her legs from around him.
“I’m about to kiss my wife.”
“I’m not your wife, Hendrix. Not anymore.”
With a gleam in his eye, Hendrix gave her a playful grin. “You willalwaysbe my wife.”
Nobu’s eyes fluttered. Her chin trembled as she fought to maintain her composer.
“Henny,” she whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Nobu’s eyes lowered to his lips, and he licked them. His nose brushed against hers, and he released a low groan that made her pussy throb. His gaze was as soft as a caress before Hendrix connected their lips, sending shock waves through her entire body. Nobu succumbed to the forceful yet gentle domination of his lips, sighing contently as he slipped his tongue into her inviting mouth.
The slow, tender urgency that started their kiss had grown hungry and frantic. Hendrix pulled her to the end of the sink, wrapping her legs back around him. She moaned against his lips as he hiked her dress up. As much as she didn’t want to, Nobu pulled away.
“We can’t do this here. Not at the church.”
He ran his hand down his face and put space between them. “Lord, forgive me. You’re right.” Nobu snickered as he helped her off the sink. “Let’s go somewhere we can finish this…”

Nobu couldn’t takeher eyes off him. Out of his Santa suit, Hendrix was dressed in a brown form fitting suit with a black button-down shirt, belt, and loafers. The first couple of buttons on the shirt were undone, exposing the top of his chest. Nobu couldn’t help but lick her lips at the sight of it. As anxious as they had been to get back to her home, they sat in the sitting room across from each other, neither making a move. It felt like forever had passed as they stared at each other silently.
It wasn’t until she squeezed her thighs together and ran her hands up and down them that Hendrix said, “You’re so fucking beautiful. I missed the hell out of you, Bu.”
Nobu savored his words, choosing not to reply quickly.
“I missed you too. We obviously did a good job detaching from each other, but my life hasn’t been the same without you.”
“Same.” Hendrix sat up in his seat, pressing the tips of his fingers together as his forearms rested on his thighs. “I love my life in Austin but…”
“Wait.” Nobu lifted her hands in confusion as she released a quick bark of laughter. “Austin? What happened to New York?”
Hendrix’s brows lifted as he exhaled a hard breath and sat back in his seat. “I couldn’t stay in New York. It felt like the reason I lost you and I began to resent my position, so I moved to Austin to work at their sister company. Same great pay and benefits, just a smaller office.”
For a brief second, her breathing was suspended by surprise.
“You… were that sick over losing me?”
Hendrix poked his cheek with his tongue, staring at her briefly before chuckling. “Of course, Nobu. You’re my wife and I haven’t been blessed with your presence in three years. You’re damn right I was that sick over losing you.”
