“I’ll always tell you the truth, Ruby. Always. And … Yes. I had Olin place hundreds of orders. Then when they were filled, I took the cookies and cakes all around town and next door, and even sent some off to the city for food banks and shelters. Lorraine is more famous than she realizes at this point. I’m sorry about the deception.” I fall silent and try to read her face.
She stares at the house, her forehead wrinkled in concentration. It’s like she’s going through everything I just said and trying to find holes.
After what seems like an eternity, she nods. “Okay. I want to believe you, and I want to forgive you, but I’m going to need more convincing.”
Fuck. I laid all my cards out. I have nothing left.
She turns to me, grabs my shirt, and pulls me to her. “The convincing will need to happen in the bedroom.”
My heart leaps, and I can’t help but smirk. “Yes, ma’am.”

RUBY
“Knox.” I moan, shaking my head. I’m not sure I can take another orgasm. The man is relentless with that mouth of his. He has been since the night he laid it all out for me. Even got me to agree that night that I would be moving back home. Said if I didn’t that he’d be following after me. I didn’t really have to think it over. My heart has always been here. It was time for me to come home. “Please, Knox.” I start to beg him.
My fingers wrap around the silk straps that have me tied to the bed. I can’t believe he’s kept them on me all night. Okay, I actually can.
I’m not sure if this is because of my naughty joke about Santa from last night or if he's still working onconvincingme to believe and forgive him. I’d jokingly told him he would have to do those things in the bedroom. I think I might need to stop with the teasing all around. Knox obviously doesn’t have a sense of humor when it comes to these things.
I'd gotten these straps put on me last night when I’d made a joke about being on Santa’s naughty list and how he might make me pay to get off of it. Knox hadn’t found it funny in the least. I’d ended up tied to the bed with him having his way with me. It’s how I’d spent my Christmas Eve and now my Christmas morning. I have to admit, it’s a great way to celebrate the holidays.
“This one is all for me.” He nips at the inside of my thigh before he starts to move that mouth up my body. “Getting my Christmas treat. While I enjoy your cookie. God, I love your pussy.”
“Knox!” I gasp.
“And you love my dirty mouth. Don’t even try to deny it.” He kisses me to prove his point.
I get lost in his kiss, knowing no other man would ever kiss me the way he does. He pours everything into it, as if he may never get to kiss me again. Or maybe he’s trying to make up for all the ones we’d lost over the years. Whatever the reason, I love every damn second of it. I think the few years I was away from Reindeer Valley were good for the both of us. We got a bit of time to grow on our own. To realize what we both really want and need in our lives: each other.
His knees spread my thighs farther apart, making room for himself before thrusting all the way inside. I let out a gasp. It’s still a tight fit even with us making love multiple times a day. He frees me of my binds at some point as he starts to move in and out of me. I stop hanging on to the straps and cling to him, knowing I never have to let him go. He’s all mine.
“Need to be deeper,” he growls.
In one quick move, he pulls out, flipping me over onto my knees. He grabs my hips, keeping my ass in the air and thrusts all the way back inside me. I grip the sheet in a tight hold as Knox starts to lose control.
He takes me hard, and I love every second of it. I push back into him, only encouraging it more. He’s always trying to be gentle and sweet with me. I love when he gets lost inside of me. When he’s mindless with wanting to fuck me as hard as he can.
“Red, need you with me.” His hand comes down on my ass in a slap, making me moan. As sweet as he can be, Knox has a dirty rough side to him too. He rubs the spot before he slips his fingers down between my thighs. He continues pumping in and out of me as his fingers find my overly sensitive clit.
“I’m always with you, Knox. Always.” I drop my head forward. My eyes catch on something shiny on my finger. I shake my head, not believing what I’m seeing.
“Then give it to me.” He rolls my clit between his fingers, causing my sex to lock down around his cock as I come. He groans my name as he spills deep inside me. I whimper, loving the sensation, but more than anything, I love what it could mean.
My body gives out. I collapse back onto the bed. Knox falls right next to me. He pulls me into his arms, wrapping his big body around mine. I sigh happily, opening my eyes to get a better look at the ring on my finger. Knox nibbles at my neck. His cock jerks inside me as he rests his hand on my stomach.
I notice him doing that a lot lately. Neither of us have talked about all the unprotected sex we’ve been having. We both know what it’s going to mean eventually. I wonder if he thinks the same is going to happen with this ring on my finger. The ring is heavy. The giant ruby is more than perfect. No one is going to miss this thing. I’m sure that’s the point.
“You didn’t ask,” I finally say when I catch my breath.
“Did you think I would? Told you I’m done waiting. You’re mine.”
I turn my head to kiss him. “I want a winter wedding, so we better get a move on it or you’ll have to wait ‘til next year.”
“Good thing I’m rich and can give you any damn thing your heart desires.”
“Hey, it can be small.”
