We end up eating grilled cheese and tomato soup. I tell myself I need to go grocery shopping before the weather turns. The forecast says we’re supposed to get snow in the next few days, so I need to be prepared. We only have a week until Christmas and I want to have everything we need for the holidays.
I clean up the dishes when we’re finished and Andrew plops on the couch. I’m surprised when I hear the opening jingle of one of my favorite Christmas movies. I finish putting things in the dishwasher and walk over to the couch.
Andrew gazes at me with a pinched look, but says, “Come on. We can watch an oldie I actually enjoyed.”
“You sure?” I ask, sitting down slowly beside him.
“Yeah. Surprisingly, I like this movie and watched it once last year. It’s the only movie I can watch during the season.”
“It’s my favorite movie!” I tell him enthusiastically, tucking myself to his side. “I’ve usually watched it by now, but there were others that came out this year and I’ve been so busy with the bar. I’m glad you’re enjoying it with me.”
Andrew kisses the top of my head and I grin, loving how affectionate he is. I never would have thought he could be so sweet with how growly and angry he was when we first met.
“You’re sweet,” I mutter, kissing the underside of his chin.
His laughter rumbles through me. “Only to you, omega. Don’t tell anyone. It’ll ruin my rep as a hard ass alpha.”
“Ha!” I muse, tucking my hands under his shirt so I can rub along his fantastic body. “I don’t think anyone would believe me. You’re such a grouch.”
Another chuckle lights the air and I soak it up, enjoying the softer side of my alpha. “Yeah, well, just know that I’ll never be a grouch to you.”
I smile as the movie plays, so happy and content with my life. The whole while, Andrew holds me, even though I can tell he’s engrossed in the movie. His laughter is constant, as this movie is a rom com, and I float every time I hear it.
When we touched each other and I realized we were fated mates, I didn’t know what to expect. I already liked him, having found him fascinating when he sat at my bar when his friends left him. But I thought maybe fate had gotten it wrong. He was so cynical and almost angry about everything that had to do with the holidays. I know I’m obsessed with them, having come to terms with that years ago, so I thought maybe this had to be some kind of cruel joke.
But the way we’ve both been deferring to each other’s comfort lets me know that fate may be smarter than I thought. I can tell Andrew would do whatever he thinks will make me happy, just as I will for him. And it’s not even a hardship. I like making him happy. It makes my insides feel like they’re glowing.
The movie ends and I grin up at my alpha. “Did you love it?”
“Yes, you weirdo,” he mutters, kissing me quickly before he stands to stretch. “Do you work tomorrow night?”
“Yep. We close up at two am. You want to come hang with me for a few hours?”
He nods, walking to the kitchen and grabbing us a bottle of water each. “I planned to. When don’t you work?”
My schedule is pretty much the same as it always is, but we take some days off for the holidays. Some days are slower than others, like the day before Christmas Eve and a few days after Christmas.
But Bryce did tell me I need to slow down and hire another bartender. Maybe I should put some feelers out soon to get someone else in. Or ask Bryce to maybe step in so I can take a break. His boyfriend is also a trained bartender, so maybe they can work together.
“Every day, pretty much. I’m always at the bar.”
“Can you take the day off the day after tomorrow? I want to take you out.”
I perk up. “A date, Scrooge? Where to?”
“It’s a surprise.”
I pout playfully. “What do I have to do to get you to tell me what the surprise is early? I can still pretend to be surprised.”
He grins and bends to kiss me slowly. I groan in his mouth and lean back against the couch as he blankets my body with his. We make out like teenagers for a while, Andrew’s hot hands touching me everywhere while I lie like a helpless dame trying not to come in my pants. Andrew is very passionate, his kisses and touches driving me up the wall.
His big hands wrap around my waist, squeezing me while he ravages my mouth. I moan softly, trying as best I can to give as good as I get, but Andrew is overwhelming me. So, I give up trying. I let him plunder my mouth, letting him take control and own me just like I’ve always wanted my alpha to.
Andrew growls against my mouth, dropping his lower half to me so our cocks rub together. His shaft is hard enough to hammer nails and I know mine is just about the same. There’s something about an alpha being so in charge of me that has me wanting to blow right away.
Snatching my mouth from his so I can take some shaky breaths, I meet Andrew’s hooded eyes. “Are you just gonna keep kissing me or are we going to get rid of these clothes?”
The hot, dirty smile he gives me makes me shiver. “Oh, omega, I plan to get you naked and come so deep inside you, you’ll be leaking for a week.”
