“Well, that’s all behind us,” Tess said, nuzzling her cheek against his chest. “I’ll say it again: it’s just you and me now.”
Grinning, Liam tightened his embrace around her shapely body. He breathed in the soft scent of cinnamon lingering in her hair. It and her decorations were all that remained of the party.
“Yep. It’s a Christmas miracle.”
“Speaking of,” Tess whispered, placing a hand on his stomach, though it didn’t linger there long. With each new word she spoke, it fell a matter of inches. “Would you like to finally have your Christmas present? You won’t have to suffer nearly as long to get it as you did with Avril’s gift, I promise.”
His blood surged south, and Tess hummed contentedly as she felt how quickly his arousal formed against her stomach.
“That’s a yes?” she asked, eyes shimmering with delight and anticipation as she turned them up toward his face.
Time seemed to slow as he peered into those peerless azure pools. His heart swelled with joy to know that she appeared to have looked forward to their time together as much as he had. There wasn’t a doubt in his mind that she had something wonderful and unforgettable planned for their first Christmas together. Unless she planned to race him to a stupor with her lips again, it probablywouldbe Christmas well before their fun ended.
Our first Christmas,Liam thought, realizing how he was now thinking about their relationship. No longer did everything feel like a strange, outlandish hope. Fantasy was solidifying into reality. Hopes were shifting into plans.
And hehada plan for tonight. One that might very well conflict with what Tess had in mind. He’d already fortified his courage. The worst she could do was shake her head and decline his proposal. Even then, she might still suggest they follow through with whatever she had planned.
Regardless, Liam wanted this first Christmas of theirs to be remarkable, unique, memorable. And his way of making it memorable for her was by finally removing himself from the passenger seat and putting himself behind the wheel.
“Actually, I had a thought or two during the party. About tonight,” he clarified.
“Oh?” Curiosity glimmered in her eyes. “I’m listening.”
Swallowing the last lump of hesitance as it attempted to claw its way up to and clamp itself on his tongue, Liam shared his proposal.
“I’ve been thinking about some of what we talked about a few days ago. About my staying over, and the ‘caveat’ that comes with it.”
“I remember that conversation,” Tess confirmed as she softly tapped her fingertips upon his lower stomach. She didn’t seem wary or worried, which Liam could only take as a positive sign. “Go on.”
“Well, I don’t want to try and change your mind on that. Your house, your rules. Letting me stay over like you have is already a dream come true.”
“I’m happy to keep fulfilling that dream,” the beautiful brunette whispered, dropping her hand a little lower.
Liam shivered slightly, cock twitching with excitement as her soft hand lightly pressed against it. Swallowing, this time to clear the dryness in his throat, he seized a protracted breath. Now came the plunge.
“I’m not trying to get you to let me sleep in your bed tonight,” he promised. “I amtrying to getyouto sleep outsideyour bed tonight, though.”
Tess raised an eyebrow. “So, you want me to swap to the guest bedroom for a night? Presumably, with you still in it?”
“No.”
Curiosity further elevated that eyebrow. “No?”
“No,” he repeated. “In fact, if you go along with what I want, neither of us will sleep in a bed tonight.”
“So, not over atyourhouse,” Tess noted. Pursing her lips thoughtfully, she began massaging his manhood over his pants. “Then… a campout in the living room?”
Realizing what it was about subjecting others to guessing games that Avril loved, Liam shook his head. “Nope, not there either.”
Tess eyed him in a very Victoria-esque manner. “The garage? I hope you’re not trying to get me to sleep in my garage—or my car.”
“Neither of those places,” he promised.
“All right, Liam, my curiosity is sufficiently piqued,” the stunning woman said, caressing his cock quicker. “Now, are you going to let me know what you’re scheming, or am I going to have totortureit out of you?”
His body immediately, raucously, voted for Option B. Through sheer force of will, which he hadn’t been sure he possessed, he smothered his libido before it caused him to nod agreeably to Tess’s offer.
“I’m kind of surprised you didn’t guess it,” Liam teased. “You did help build it, after all.”
