Chuckling, I jumped out of the truck and came around to her side, snuggling her into my arms as I helped her down, then walked her to the front door.
She was a moonlit angel, her face tipped up to mine, hoping for a quick kiss good night.
“May I take you to see Santa tomorrow?” I asked. “They leave tonight’s decorations up at the Town Hall. Parents who need toys for their kids label donations with their names, then Santa gives them out. I usually drop in to help with the sorting for an hour or two.”
“Yeah, I saw the big gift table.” Prairie smiled softly. “Is that something you do with your brothers every year?”
“No, actually. Just me.”
“Well, I’ll go if you tell me the inappropriate thing you were thinking when you first saw me.”
That adorable little smirk was going to be the death of me.
Holding her close, I leaned down to whisper in her ear, “I think you’re the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen in my life, and all I can think about is seeing this luscious body naked in my bed. I need to hear you screaming my name, and making indecipherable noises as I lick your pussy until you shake.”
Prairie’s gasp was arousal, not shock. She swiveled, grinding her lips against mine. The heat between us was entirely mutual.
The way she moved, her soft vanilla scent, everything about her made it impossible not to think about plunging myself insideher to make her moan. I would do anything to hear her cry out my name while an orgasm wracked her sensual body from head to toe.
“You’re not offended at how badly I need you?” I groaned.
“Mmm, no,” she whispered. “I want you too.”
“Soon, baby,” I said, reaching down to squeeze her voluptuous round ass. “Believe me, I won’t be able to wait long.”
With one final kiss that made my stomach quiver, I stepped back while I still had a few drops of blood in my brain instead of my cock.
“I’ll text you when I’m on my way to pick you up tomorrow,” I said. “Probably around noon.”
“Okay.” She paused, allowing me to stare at her pretty smile. “Thank you for a lovely evening.”
“Thank you, baby.”
I waited until she was inside with the door locked, then drove home while singing along full blast to some cheesy oldies station.
I couldn’t remember ever being this happy. Even when the announcer warned us of a bit of serious snow tomorrow night, and I realized I had no idea what to get Prairie for a Christmas gift, I knew that everything was going to turn out perfectly.

PRAIRIE
My parents gave me a few odd looks at breakfast, but thankfully they didn’t ask any questions about my date last night. I was still reeling from everything that had happened in the past twenty-four hours.
After I cleaned the kitchen, I went to my room to unpack a bit, then got ready to meet up with Daniel.
As soon as I was ready, I grabbed a sketchbook. Drawing always calmed me, and it didn’t matter what it was.
Looking around my bedroom at the old-fashioned wallpaper and antique wooden furniture, my eyes fell on a small glass beside the mirror. I’d put the corsage Daniel had given me in water, so that it would last longer.
I pulled it closer and began to sketch the rose, then dove for my phone as soon as it rang.
“You looked super cozy with Daniel last night,” Lila said immediately.
“Good morning to you too,” I said pointedly. “How was your night?”
I could almost hear her rolling her eyes as she sighed. “Well, I heard some of the latest gossip. Tina, Sandra and I had a bittoo much champagne. A pretty good night. Nothing like yours though. Tell me everything.”
Although Lila and I used to be close, I certainly wouldn’t be telling her all of the details of my life anymore. We had grown apart, and I wasn’t sure how much I could trust her these days. Besides, the things that I felt for Daniel were still so new and fresh that I couldn’t even articulate them to myself, let alone anyone else.
