Eventually, we pulled into the driveway. Gareth and his dad carried our bags inside while his mom and I followed.
"Let me give you a tour," Brenda offered.
She showed me where each room was, including the downstairs bathroom. Then, she led me upstairs. "Here’s the bathroom. There are clean towels under the sink as well as a few toiletries, although I’m sure you brought your own. But just in case you forgot anything, please help yourself."
Gareth stepped out of his room and after his mom turned, he sent me a sexy wink. I smiled and smacked his arm. "Here’s your room. The remote for the television is on the nightstand. I left the top dresser drawer empty for you, and if you need to hang something up, there are some hangers in the closet. If you need an extra blanket or pillow, they’re at the end of the hall in the closet. Help yourself if you get cold."
"Thank you so much, Brenda."
"You’re welcome. I’m so glad you’re here and able to spend the holiday with us. I’ll let you two get settled. I’ve got a casserole warming in the oven, so whenever you’re hungry, come on down."
She gave us each a hug before heading back downstairs.
"Just in case you want to sneak into my bedroom tonight, you’ll have to be extra quiet. My parents’ room is just below mine." Gareth waggled his eyebrows at me.
"Shhh," I hushed him. I didn’t know how well sound traveled in here. "I already told you I’m not going to be sneaking into your room. What if your parents caught us?"
He sidled up to me and pulled me tight against him, nuzzling his nose in the crook of my neck. Damn him. He knew I had a hard time resisting anything when he hit that spot. "What if they did? Don’t you think that makes it even more exciting? Knowing that either of them could barge in anytime and see me fucking you and that beautiful pussy of yours."
I couldn’t control my moan, especially when his teeth nipped the skin at the fold of my neck. "That makes you hot thinking about getting caught doesn’t it?"
He was right. The thrill of the possibility did get me hot. I could feel myself getting wet. With a loud, pop, Gareth lifted his lips, and I sagged against his chest, my breathing heavy. I sucked in a deep breath before slowly letting it out. "You’re an evil, evil man."
Gareth only laughed. "C’mon, let’s go down and see what my mom made for us. You can think of all the ways you’re going to get me back while we’re down there."
I smiled deviously. "Oh, you bet I will."
He was going to regret teasing me like that.
Chapter 14
Gareth
There wasnothing I enjoyed more than teasing Livvie. Except maybe the fact that she gave it right back to me. She wasn’t afraid to taunt and tease, which was what she’d done last night. I’d had to sit at the table long after everyone had left, because of the hard-on she’d given me. I could still feel her foot gliding up and down my cock while we’d eaten dinner. I tasted blood biting back the groan. She rose from the table to help my mom with cleaning up the kitchen and sent me a cheeky smile.
I’d joked with her about coming into my room, but she wouldn’t. She was too worried about making sure my parents continued to like her.How long would it take for her to realize their feelings wouldn’t change?However long it took, I’d make sure my parents subtly reassured her that they absolutely adored her.
She was stuck with me.
"Hey there," I greeted her with a hip nudge. She scooted over, and I slid onto the love seat next to her, my cup of hot cocoa and mini marshmallows in hand.
"Hi, yourself."
We sat in front of the roaring fire, the crackling sound lending the perfect ambiance to the snow falling outside. My parents had built an extra room off the back of the house with an entire wall fireplace and floor to ceiling windows that faced out to the copse of trees that gathered at the farthest edge of the yard.
The Christmas tree stood in front of the windows decorated with blue and silver ball ornaments and white twinkling lights. A bright, giant star graced the top. The snow skirting around the bottom was barely visible with all the presents that surrounded the base. The fresh scent of pine filled the room. My parents had been getting a live tree my entire life.The faint sound of Christmas music came from the speakers of the surround sound system mounted to the ceiling in the four corners of the room. The magic of the holiday was in full bloom inside this room.
Livvie wiggled her wool-sock covered toes that her stuck out in front of her toward the fire, and she laid her head on my shoulder. "It’s beautiful in here. I’ve never seen a more perfect Christmas atmosphere. When I was growing up, I was lucky if I got to help decorate the tree. I always felt like I was on the outside looking in."
I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and pulled her close. "You’re on the inside here, and you will be for as long as I have a say. Which is forever. One day in the future we’re going to have our own tree, and our kids are going to come running down the stairs way earlier in the morning than they should, excited to see what Santa brought them. We’re going to create our own traditions and our own Christmas magic."
Livvie sucked in a breath. She tilted her head up and her eyes sparkled with wetness from the shimmering lights. "What did I ever do to deserve you?"
"You were just being you. The moment I saw you standing at our table at that diner, nervous and tapping your pen, while you took our order, there was something about you I was drawn to. I’m still drawn to. It’s this inner spark that shines for everyone to see." I planned on spending the rest of my life nurturing that spark. I never wanted it to dull, because the very essence of it was what made Livvie absolutely perfect. For me.
She leaned up and brushed her lips across mine before pulling back and staring deeply into my eyes. "I love you so much."
"I love you, and I’ll make sure that I tell you every single day. Merry Christmas, Livvie."
