My holiday playlist keeps me singing along as I make my way toward home. Even though I’ve been busy throughout the day, I’ve missed Jacob, Cole, and Kai. Their absence felt like a constant dull ache that refused to make me forget about them.
It’s a relief to catch the first glimpse of their mansion in the distance as the car drives up the hill. The snow flurries get thicker, covering the windshield as I pass through the vast gates of the estate.
As the car nears the brightly lit manor, my gaze fixes on the three dark figures that stand in the distance. Jacob, Cole, and Kai materialize before my eyes like a dream as I drive closer.
Making the car come to a stop, I hop out and run toward them.
Stepping forward, Jacob opens his arms.
Without a word, I fling myself into his embrace.
My nostrils flare as his fresh lemon and mint fragrance hits me. Hugging him tighter, I lay my face against his hard chest. “I’ve missed you so much,” I whisper.
Burying his face in my hair, he holds me against him. “I missed you too.”
Snow falls on us but the warmth surging through me keeps me happy and comfortable. Staring up into his silvery eyes, I ask the question that’s been on my mind all day.
“Will you be able to take the next few days off?” I ask, stepping away.
“Yep. If nothing goes wrong, you’re looking at spending Christmas with our pack.”
“Yes!” I cheer, pecking his lips.
“Come here, love,” Cole says in a deep voice. His blue eyes are warm as he extends his hand toward me.
Grasping his hand, I let him pull me against him. His lips crash onto mine, kissing me with a passionate fervor.
Heat sings in my veins, making me forget about the world for a moment.
“I can’t wait to spend Christmas with you,” Cole whispers in a ragged breath.
“Me too.”
The scent of sweet oranges pervades my senses, making me aware of Kai’s presence. Turning around, I see he’s standing right behind me.
Putting my arms around his neck, I pull myself closer to him.
“How was your day?” he asks, his soft-brown eyes filled with warmth.
“Busy,” I say with a chuckle. “I’m almost relieved to be home for the next couple of days.”
Leaning down, he captures my lips.
The kiss we share is slow and sweet. Warmth and happiness bubble in my chest, making me feel like I can soar up to the sky like a hot air balloon.
“Have you been waiting long for me?” I ask as cold flecks of snow gather on my eyelids.
“We came out when our guards spotted your car near the hill,” Cole says.
Kai presses a kiss on my cheek. “We couldn’t spend a second without you anymore.”
Jacob’s hand closes over mine. “Come on, let’s get you out of this cold.”
With a nod, I let him lead me inside the house.
The moment we step inside the entrance hall, my attention goes to the enormous glittering Christmas tree in the corner. I’ve been seeing it for over a week now but each time I lay my eyes on it, I feel a burst of happiness and warmth within me.
It’s a moment before I realize why the space looks different from its usual setting.
