Page 128 of All I Want For Christmas

“Of course. See you soon.” Lucy moved off to the next room and knocked as Theo shut their door.

“I didn’t plan on socializing with a bunch of people,” Savannah said. “I was kind of looking forward to alone time.”

Theo chuckled. “I thought I was the anti-social one.”

Savannah nodded. “I thought so too. Where was that guy when she was telling us we had to be downstairs?”

“We’re crashing here at the last minute. We have to be nice right?”

“But…we could benakeduphere.”

God, this woman…

He moved close and his voice dropped low as his hand cupped the back of her head. “I love your sassy side, your funny side, your vulnerable side, your jealous side, but fucking hell, City Girl, your horny side is really one of my favorites.”

She puffed out a laugh, but he saw something flicker in her eyes. It was surprise but also…gratitude? Did this woman not know how amazing she was?Allsides of her. Or did not enough people tell her that?

She wet her lips. “My horny side is all your fault.”

He leaned in to put his forehead against hers. “I’ll gladly accept that responsibility.”

The lights flickered back on, and the tree started to glow again at that moment.

Theo kissed her forehead and straightened. “Let’s make our calls, change our clothes, and get downstairs for dinner.”

Her eyes widened. “That’staking responsibility for my horniness?”

His gut tightened and his cock twitched. “You need to trust me.” He was going to take very, very good care of her.Fullresponsibility for everything he made her feel.

In due time.

She blew out what seemed like an exasperated breath, and he grinned.

It was probably good to make her wait a bit.

He wasn’t sure it was a great idea to let on just how tightly he was wrapped around her little finger just yet.

Thirty minutes later, they’d touched base with everyone they needed to.

Their people in Autre hadn’t even known there was a storm in North Carolina, of course, but were happy to know they were safe and sound.

His parents were too and knew better than to think he and Savannah would be dug out in time to get to their house for Christmas. He promised to call Christmas Day.

The Monroe family at the Christmas farm Savannah had been planning to visit likewise completely understood. They’d shut down early in the day when the snow had started and didn’t expect to be open on Christmas Eve day because of the roads.

Savannah flopped back on the bed. “Dammit.”

“Your boss can’t be mad,” Theo said from where he was propped up against the headboard. “This storm isn’t your fault.”

Savannah rolled to her side and looked up the bed at him.

They’d both changed into warmer, more casual clothes.

He’d pulled a flannel shirt over his Henley and had put on black joggers.

She was now wearing black leggings that hugged her hips and ass and a dark purple pull-over hoodie that covered her ass when she stood up. However, when she was lying on the bed, it pulledup, showing him all the curves he loved so much. She’d put her hair up in a messy bun and she was wearing thick fuzzy slipper socks.

She looked so…normal. So approachable. Soft. Cuddly.
