“Yeah, I’m almost done. This just needs to be put in the fridge to chill and it’ll be ready by the time we eat dinner.”
“There’s something that I’d like to show you,” I say as she heads toward the fridge.
“Oh?” She turns around to face me. “What is it?”
Grasping her hand, I lead her out of the kitchen.
“Where are we going?” she asks as we head toward the entrance hall.
“There’s a surprise waiting for you. Oh, and before I forget, let me do this.” Stepping behind her, I gently cover her eyes with my hands.
A chuckle escapes her. “Is Kai back already?” she asks hopefully.
“Is that what you’d like?” I ask, carefully leading her down the hallway.
“Of course, I’d like him to be back home early,” she says. “I miss him.”
Warmth flares in my chest. Unlike most omegas, Winter isn’t seeking jewelry and expensive designer stuff. She’d rather have us than the superficial crap our money can buy her.
“There’s my sweet pie,” Jacob says the moment we step inside the entrance hall.
“Jacob?” she breathes.
“Yep.”
“Can I look now?” Winter asks, extending her hand forward.
Jacob moves closer and grasps her hands firmly. “Are you ready for the surprise?”
“Where’s Kai?” she asks with a hopeful grin spreading on her lips.
Jacob glances toward me.
“She thinks Kai is the surprise,” I explain, feeling a twinge in my chest. She’s definitely going to be disappointed. Hopefully, the giant ass fir tree that Jacob has dragged in would make things up for her.
The tree is almost as big as the one we saw in Reagan Square. Green needles litter the floor, casting a haphazard pattern on the carpet. A wonderful smell fills the air, making me inhale deeply.
“Ready?”
“Yep!” Her hands curl into fists as she bounces on her feet with excitement.
I slowly remove my hands from Winter’s eyes.
Her gaze swings around the room before finally settling on the tree. “Oh, wow!” she squeals, running toward it. “You bought a Christmas tree!”
“She looks like a kid in front of it,” I say in a lowered voice.
Jacob chuckles. “What’d you think? I found it after looking through five shops around town.”
“It’s huge, all right,” I say, snorting.
“What are these boxes for?” Winter asks, turning around to face us.
“Decorations,” Jacob says. “String lights, tinsel, ornaments. I thought you’d need them to fill up this tree.”
Winter’s green eyes light up immediately. Turning away, she grabs the boxes and starts opening them one by one.
“These are so beautiful!” she exclaims, picking out silver-glazed snow globes from one of the boxes. “Thank you so much for bringing them over!”
