Page 23 of Matchmaking Under the Mistletoe

Me: Hey, Lizzie. I’m okay…

Lizzie: *eye roll emoji*

Lizzie: I’m gonna need more than that.

Lizzie: Have you and Mr. Mayor had any other run-ins?

I blow out a breath, trying to decide how to respond. I’d told her about the almost kiss last week over the phone two days ago, and she’d freaked out. I’m pretty sure my ears were still ringing from the way she squealed into the phone. She was convinced I’d be having kinky rebound sex by now and had become relentless about encouraging me to pursue him.

Gosh she’s gonna lose her shit when I tell her what happened last night. Sighing, I decide to get it over with.

Me: Funny you should ask…

Me: There might have been a bit of an incident last night…

Lizzie: Mills, I swear to God if you don’t spit it out I’m getting on a plane to kick your ass.

Me: Basically, I attacked him with my mouth. Afterward, he was a perfect gentleman and acted like it didn’t happen. Soooo now I’m debating if I actually have to leave my room and face him today.

Lizzie: WHAT?!

Lizzie: You should really give a girl some warning… I just screamed so loud, the whole office heard.

Lizzie: But that’s not important.

Lizzie: TELL ME EVERYTHING!!

Me: Ugh it’s so embarrassing… All my volunteers had to cancel, so we were putting up the lights for the Mistletoe Maze tonight. I fell off the ladder and he tried to catch me. But we were both on the ground and he touched my hair, and I swear my brain left my body.

Me: Literally the best kiss of my life. God, it was so hot.

Me: But one of the locals interrupted us, and neither of us mentioned it after we got home.

Me: Oh my God, what if he fires me.

Me: Pretty sure Deer Valley doesn’t have a head of HR, but I probably violated about a hundred boss/employee rules last night.

Lizzie: I KNEW IT!

Lizzie: Just calm down, it’s gonna be fine.

Lizzie: He’s not going to fire you.

Lizzie: So, are we talking about a kiss or a KISS?

Me: Ummmmmm…

Me: Sis, I literally dry humped my boss. On the ground. In a field.

Me: He also wrapped his hands around my throat, and I thought I was going to orgasm just from that.

Me: I thought that only happened in those romance novels we love, but nope. Can confirm it was incredibly hot.

Me: I’ll let you do with that information what you will.

Lizzie: Hellllll yes.

Lizzie: Guess you’re going on the naughty list this year ;)
