Q, Finn, Rio, and Levi were playing a rowdy game of Uno with the launcher. The card shooter was currently spitting out a half dozen cards at Finn.

I would always have a soft spot for Uno.

“Want to get in on the game?” Hudson’s voice came from behind me just before his arms slid around my middle.

I turned in his arms. “I was thinking of something a little different.”

His dark eyes went hot. There had been a whole lot of family time going on, and very little alone time. “I’m listening.”

I laughed, then I checked over my shoulder. Everyone still looked busy.

Faith looked up from her toys and giggled as I pushed Hudson past the stairs and toward the hallway where the bathroom was.

I threw a littleshhsign against my lips and she nodded.

Along the arch of the hallway was a sprig of mistletoe. I looked up, then I linked my fingers behind his neck. “It’s very bad luck not to kiss someone under mistletoe, you know.”

“We don’t need any of that, now do we?”

I went onto my toes. “We sure don’t.”

He lowered his mouth to mine. The kiss was sweet and soft.

He gripped my hips, his fingers twisting in the fuzzy soft sweater dress I was wearing.

I smiled against his lips, loving that he could make me feel happy and sexy at the same time. That he wanted to start all the way over with me, even if we weren’t exactly sure what we were doing.

I eased back, licking my lips for the last taste of him. “I made us an appointment for after the first of the year.”

“Oh?”

“Sage and Oliver Hamilton were pretty amazing when I worked with them to rent this cabin. I thought they might help us find a place here in Crescent Cove.”

His eyebrows rose. “We don’t even know what we’re going to do to make a living.”

“I think you know what you’re going to do, Hudson.” I could hear the excuses filling his head, and I hurried on before he could say no. “And our combined strengths will make it happen.”

He pressed his forehead to mine. “You’re going to bulldoze me our whole life, aren’t you?”

“I sure am.”

He laughed. “I can’t wait.”

“Neither can I.”

“C’mon, you two, it’s time for dinner. You can make out later.” Finn’s voice came from the living room.

Hudson rolled his eyes and linked his fingers with mine before we went out to be with our huge, crazy family.

“Just a sec,” I whispered.

“What?”

“I just wanted to thank you for making all my Christmas dreams come true.”

“We’re just getting started, Angel.”
