I’ve only given a couple of handjobs, and I’ve never had a cock in my mouth. I lick my lips and wrap my fingers around him. I’m not sure I have the courage to do that just yet. But I hope this preamble feels every bit as good as the pleasure he’s just given me.

Remington growls, and he clenches his jaw. His eyelids flutter closed as I slide my hand up and down his shaft. The sounds he’s making, the short pants, are all the encouragement I need.

I tighten my grip and slide up and down him, marveling at the steel rod beneath his smooth skin.

I’m just getting a hang of the pace when Remington suddenly grabs my wrist and pulls me away with a roar.

“Oh, I’m sorry.” I draw my hand away from his. “Did that hurt?”

“Yeah.” His low echoes from his chest into mine. “But in the best way.”

I frown. “Then why?—”

“I want today to be about you. We can worry about me later.” He cups my cheek and strokes it. “But, there is something I wondered if you could do for me.”

My heart thuds again in anticipation. “Absolutely.”

He smirks. “You’re agreeing before you even know?”

“If it’s something you want, and I can do it, I will.”

“Well, I’m glad to hear that. Because it’s a big ask.” He lowers his lips toward my ear. His breath tickles my ear. “Will you go out with me on Christmas Eve?”

I draw back in surprise, a shiver of delight still running down my spine. From his expression, I can see he’s serious.

He’s asking me out.

I return his grin. “I’d love to.”

REMINGTON

Confusion registers on Jade’s face as I pull the truck up in front of our first stop.

She shakes her head. “What are we doing here?”

Now it’s my turn to be confused. “We’re starting our tour.”

“Our tour?”

“The holiday lights tour,” I drawl out, increasingly perplexed by her response. “The one I invited you out for.”

Her lips part and she sucks in a soft breath. It’s such a sweet sound. And her lips, as I’ve discovered, taste so sweet. It’s damn tempting to reach across the cab of the truck and pull her into my lap so I can really give her something to gasp about.

Only my resolve to take things slow, to let her know I care about more than a physical relationship with her, stops me.

“You were serious,” she says at last.

“Of course, I was serious.” I give a short laugh. “Did you think I was planning to drive you out to a lookout spot to make-out like we’re a couple of teenagers?”

I instantly regret the visual that puts in my head. Especially when I was just fighting the urge to do almost that very same thing.

Jade bites on that tempting full bottom lip of hers. My dick twitches, and I have to look away.

“Would you think less of me if I said I wouldn’t have minded that plan?” Jade asks.

I can’t even look at her now or risk giving in to the temptation.
