"Remember last Christmas? You had no Christmas tree in your apartment. It looked like the lobby of a hotel in September."
Nathan laughs. "I seem to remember you hanging stockings anyway. What a difference a year makes."
"Yeah," I murmur. "And next year we’ll have a one-year-old."
"Exactly. So, we’re staying home then," he says. It’s not a question. It’s a statement.
He’s using his bossy Nathan voice. The firm you’ll-do-anything-I-say-because-I’m-a-hot-billionaire voice.
"No, we’re not. This is what I want and you love me enough to take me to a hockey game, Nathan."
"Shit." He sighs and peels himself off the couch. "Let me take a shower and get dressed. If you have this baby in the hockey arena I am going to be very upset."
"I haven’t had any Braxton Hicks in days. I’m not dilated at all. The doctor said I can do all normal activity. And guess what? I know the owner of the Racketeers. I think he can readily get us out of the arena if I do go into labor."
Nathan’s expression immediately changes. "Oh, so you know the owner? How, have you fucked him?"
"So many times. He has a huge cock." I hold my hand out to him so he can help me off the couch. "Let me take a shower with you."
"I can’t ever say no to you."
"You don’t have to." I give him a sweet, sassy smile.
"Dani, you look gorgeous," Elise says to me as a greeting as I shuffle into the row to take my seat at the Racketeers game.
Nathan is hovering behind me, holding my elbow protectively.
"Aw, thank you. Honestly, aside from the obvious," I say, gesturing to my belly. "I feel pretty good. I’ve had back pain. But I’m ready to meet our baby."
Luna stands up and hugs me. "Just don’t have the baby on Christmas. It won’t be the same at my parents’ without you guys."
Cam gives me a wave from the other seat past Luna. "Hey, Dani. Nathan, how’s it going?"
Nathan looks grumpy. He leans over though and shakes Cam’s hand. "Good. How about you?"
Cam tosses a hot, intense look at Luna. "Never better."
I love that my best friend has found her guys. It makes me beam at them.
"I just realized that I’m going to be sandwiched between two madly-in-love couples all night," Elise says, shaking her head in amusement. "This should be fun for me."
I sit down and turn to her. "So nothing has happened with Justin?" Elise confessed in a text to me and Luna back in August that she hooked up with Justin Travers after the Feeling Pucky event.
"Who?" Elise asks wryly.
"Justin Travers. Or as Crew likes to call him, Justin Fucking Travers. You know, from the Dallas Dragons."
Elise waves her hand. "Nah. That was a one-time thing when he was in town. No budding romance there." She grins. "Just hot sex. When does your book come out? I may need a manual on how to find multiple men willing to meet my every whim."
That makes me laugh. "Well, it is fiction, remember?" With a little dash of personal experience. "But I did the edits that the publisher wanted and now I’m just waiting. It’s supposed to release in May."
"That’s so exciting."
"It’s awesome," Luna says, patting my knee. "I’m so proud of you, Dani."
"Thanks, Luna. Likewise. You’re killing it with Books and Buns. Elise, what’s new with you?"
She smiles. "Oh, not much."
