Prologue -

Surprise!

Iwatched as Phoe performed her nightly routine. It never got boring.

Phoe caught sight of me in the mirror and, with one final swipe, rose to her feet and joined me in bed. She rolled into my side like always with her head on my chest.

If we weren’t in this position, then I was spooning her. As long as our bodies had contact, I didn’t give a fuck.

“What’s on your mind?” Phoe asked as she made circles on my stomach.

“This Christmas, baby, don’t make plans. The boys and I are taking care of everything,” I said and nearly cursed.

Phoe’s hand, which had been wandering lower, stopped. “Huh?”

“The MC is planning Christmas.”

I almost laughed as Phoe went tense.

“Where are you having it?” she asked.

“Here. Rivendell and the Ewok village can easily handle those we can’t get inside the Hall. That was a great idea to make them real huts,” I said as my own fingers began wandering.

If Phoe needed fucking, then I was happy to oblige… although she had stopped moving. I hoped I’d not ruined a hand job, which always led to sex.

“Let me get this straight: you and the brothers are gonna plan Christmas?”

“Yup. You have planned Christmas every year. I want you to relax, do your shopping for gifts, and let us take care of everything.”

“Drake, you’ve got so much on your plate,” Phoe said.

“Babe, we need a distraction. The men are wound too tight, and someone’s going to blow. I swear Gunner and Texas are ready to ride to Florida to end this shit. This will give everyone something to focus on,” I responded as my hand slid across her soft belly.

Phoe wriggled under my ministrations and sat up, straddling me.

“Babe, Christmas isn’t easy,” Phoe murmured.

“Trust me, this will be great. You concentrate on presents and leave everything else to me.”

Phoe leaned down and kissed me as I moved my hands around to her plump ass. “Whatever you wish, my love.”

“Fuck me, woman,” I demanded, and Phoe grinned.

That was an order Phoe was always happy to obey.

Chapter One –

Christmas planned in a snip!

“Will you lot shut up?” I shouted as everyone talked over each other.

“What’s happened?” Ace demanded. “Church is tomorrow.”

“We’re not having church,” I answered as frowns were turned in my direction.
