I wanted to soak all of this date in. I’d never seen a display like this before. It was spectacular.
When we reached the end of the first row, there were some food truck, cocoa, cookies, and tacos of all things.
“Want something to eat?” I offered. I’d take him to a restaurant or cook for him if he preferred, but there was something magical about festival food, especially at the North Pole.
“I wouldn’t turn down a cookie and cocoa. If I weren’t wearing mittens, those tacos really smell good, but I think I’ll pass on those for now.”
It was all I could do not to offer to feed him the tacos so he could leave his mittens on. I was lucky enough that he hadn’t freaked out over the way I invited him to come out with me. Being pushy, no matter the intent, wasn’t going to work.
The hot chocolate was made with real chocolate shavings, and they toasted the marshmallows right in the cup. It was the best cocoa I’d ever had, which was saying a lot, since I’d gone to every single place that had cocoa in the North Pole village. I didn’t get here often, but when I did, I made the most of it, and the cocoa was a must-have.
We sat down in front of a fire pit, eating our cookies and chatting about the different ornaments we’d seen. Snowdrop curled up at my feet and started to go to sleep.
“Somebody’s tired.” Wille eyed Snowdrop, a sweet smile on his face.
“It’s not me,” I said, leaning into his side, “but yeah, someone is.”
“Should we take her back to your place and let her get cozy and warm?”
“Is that all you want to do there?”
“I guess we’ll see.”
That was good enough for me.
Chapter 9
Willy
Sparkly Christmas bulbs. Never before had I had a date that was so incredibly amazing. It was like Campbell had watched all of my favorite holiday movies, taken notes, and then planned the most wonderful holi-date.
We had the best time. At least I had. I wasn’t so sure about Campbell. It almost felt like he was nervous and not letting his true self shine. That was going to end now.
Now we were walking back through the village. A light snow was dusting the ground. Snowdrop keeping up but barely. The poor girl was exhausted.
The only remaining question was, how was this night going to end?
“Willy,” Campbell said. He stopped in front of the door that led to Nick’s residence where he was staying.
Was this where we said good night? Would he invite me inside or walk me to my door at the elf apartments? We’d flirted about it, but he was a big old flirt. I couldn’t really trust that.
“Yes?” I said.
“This night... it’s been amazing. I don’t want to be too forward—”
I crashed my lips against his. My tongue swept into his mouth while my arms looped around his neck. My body was plastered against his. He held me tight as he kissed me.
I pulled away. “Take me inside, Campbell.”
We didn’t waste any time. Campbell laced his fingers into mine and took me inside, stopping only long enough to take the leash off Snowdrop. I didn’t even pay attention to where we were going.
Then we were inside a cozy guest bedroom that was the size of my whole apartment. The king-sized bed dominated the room.There were loops on the bed posts along with three different types of lube on the nightstand.
“Are those nipple clamps?”
“Yes.”
“Pretty sure of yourself, huh?” I asked.
