A MISTLETOE MISUNDERSTANDING
ChapterOne
Grace
These are not the balls I ordered.
Someone at the antiques warehouse is playing a practical joke. I was excited to borrow a box of vintage, one-of-a-kind Christmas decorations for this family getaway. But in amongst the retro Santas and blown glass is … something else.
“I see lights, I see holly, but this is unlike any mistletoe I’ve ever seen,” I say aloud to no one, picking up the unopened box labeled “Vibrate Together.”
Huh. This is weird.
I am the first of the Wood family to arrive at the cabin, and it is my job to decorate.
I know my pregnant brain is scattered at times. Especially this time of year. After I dropped off our one-year-old, Lily, at Buck’s parents’ house, I realized I had completely forgotten to pack her diapers. Luckily, Buck’s parents are amazing and assured me when I called from the road that their house is fully stocked for the baby’s visit.
I have bouts of extreme brain fog and horniness at other times. Did I accidentally order a remote-controlled sex toy? That doesn’t seem like something they would keep in stock. I have a good relationship with the collector who runs that place, but we’re notthatfriendly.
Yes, I am blaming my hormones for the current debacle.
The three brothers and their wives are gathering for a big Christmas weekend at the family’s newly finished cabin in the woods. This weekend is a sort of christening for the place, which the brothers named Mountain Mistletoe.
Buck dropped off the decorations about an hour before I arrived, saying he would do a quick grocery run before the snow started to blow around. The Wood family loves to eat, so this visit will require a fully stocked pantry.
Did Buck put the sex toy in here to send a message?
That seems plausible, but if he wants something, he usually comes right out and asks for it.
But maybe he’s feeling trepidation because it’s been so long since we had sex, and he doesn’t want to hurt my feelings.
That must be it. He’s trying to tell me that though I’ve been down on myself about my swollen feet and horrible nausea, he still thinks I’m sexy.
Bless him.
What he doesn’t know is now that I’m past the terrible nausea, I’m down for anything.
Literally, anything.
I smile as I open the box and read the instructions. It’s a small, soft silicone disc that’s oblong with a ridge in the middle. I go digging for batteries and test it out. The toy vibrates like crazy in my hand, making me laugh.
Oh, this is going to be fun.
I wash it before inserting it in my panties and test it out a second time.
Instantly, my body flushes with pleasure, and I come in mere seconds. Not minutes. Seconds. For the first time in months.
Fun? This weekend is going to be bananas.
ChapterTwo
Buck
Something is different about my wife. Not in a bad way, but she seems to be in a better mood than she’s been in for the last several months.
Grace turns to me while lighting the fireplace; she has the brightest smile. Her skin glows more than usual, with a pink hue in her cheeks I haven’t seen since summer.
