“Actually, I don’t mind at all,” I say, biting my lip. “Though, it’s up to you two to decide who gets kissed first.”

Thad clears his throat. “I volunteer,” he says quickly.

Max touches his shoulder. “Uh, no. I came up with the striptease thing. I should get the first kiss.”

“You got to kiss her first earlier,” Thad argues.

“That was canon!” Max says. “Not my fault you didn’t ask her out first.”

“How convenient.”

I lick my lips patiently as my smile grows.

Thad grunts. “All right. Let’s flip a coin or something.”

Max clicks his tongue. “Always you and coin flips.” He looks at me. “As if I would let my love for you be decided by simple chance.”

“Oh, you’re gonna bring that up now?” Thad asks.

Max shrugs. “You’re the one who suggested the coin toss again.”

Thad sighs. “Fine. You know what? Fuck it. It’s Christmas.”

And with that, Thad grabs Max by the shoulders and kisses him on the mouth.

My jaw drops.

Max pulls away instantly and wipes his lips. “Dude…”

“That’s mistletoe, bitch,” Thad simply says.

“At least warn me next time.”

“Should have just let me kiss her first. You smell great, by the way. Is that my aftershave?”

“No, it’s not.” Max straightens up. “But thank you.”

I laugh harder, feeling it travel up from the depths of my gut.

My boys.

My fucking boys.

I cup Max’s face, softly guiding him toward me to give him a sweet kiss. Thad inhales to complain, so I lay a finger over his lips to silence him. He goes quiet and I open my eyes to peek at him while I kiss his best friend.

There I go again.

Acting like a floozy.

I break away from Max and lean toward Thad with playful eyes. Any complaints he might have had disappear completely as I kiss him, too.

“Stand up,” I tell them.

They both obey, quickly rising to their feet in front of me. I lightly drag my claws down their bodies and hook the bright pink undies. With my eyes on theirs, I pull them down, allowing their firm erections to break free.

I look up into their eyes and shiver with as much anticipation as they do.

“Sorry, boys,” I say, “but I really need to suck your cocks right now.”
