“How about I book it, then you can make any plans outside of the room. If you want to do massages, I’d love it. But there’s also the tram at Heavenly that has a beautiful view of the lake. Or we could take a ride on the Tahoe Queen for dinner. Although it might still be a little cold for that.”
“I forgot about the tram and the boat ride. I like your idea. You book us a room then I’ll come up with some things we can do. How long do you want to stay? I think two nights not one.” The more I thought about it the more excited I was. Since Christmas my whole focus had been on making my business a success, but now it was our business. And I wanted Eli to know how much he was appreciated.
“Two nights sounds great,” he said with a smile. “We’ve both been so busy, it would be nice to be able to lie around naked without worrying about your mom walking in.”
I cringed at the memory. “I think they both learned their lesson.” Since that day, both my parents made sure they knocked before they walked into our apartment.
“The look on her face though.” He laughed until tears ran down his cheeks.
“Yeah yeah, I’m sure if it was your mom, you wouldn’t have thought it was quite so hilarious.” I tried to hold back a smile, but it was pretty funny.
“We should put a lock on our side just in case,” he said, and led us to the hardware aisle. “See? Easy peasy.” He set the chain lock in the cart and showed me once again why I loved him so much. He never complained about problems, he just found a way to fix them. He was my sunshine in the winter, and I definitely needed to work on not being so grumpy all the time.
“I think we need more coffee,” I said, hoping more caffeine would help, but knowing deep down I was just a grouch.

Eli
We finished shopping and after running into Rick and Shelly two more times, we finally left and after a short drive, pulled up to the house. The two of us chatted while we got everything ready for the sugar cookies we’d be baking. “Which cookie cutters do you want to use?” I asked.
“The large heart, the double heart, the small, scalloped edge heart, and maybe an arrow?” he said as he took out the plastic tub they were stored in.
“How about the wings?” I said and held up the cutter that depicted spread wings. “I mean it could be Cupid, right?”
“How about actually making Cupid?” Randy said and dug around a little more before pulling out a perfect Cupid cookie cutter.
“I like it, and we’ll know if they work or not tonight.” We both got busy doing what we did best. I couldn’t have guessed how many cookies we’d baked since that first night before Christmas, but with every batch we worked more smoothly together.
“Do you think we should make them thick or thin?” Randy asked.
I considered his question and the cookie cutters we’d be using. “I think we should make the smaller ones thin, and the larger ones thick. But we should try them both ways and see which works better. Are we adding a flavor or just basic sugar cookies?”
He thought about it for a second while he measured out the flour. “Let’s do our famous recipe and add flavored icing. That way we can sample a few different ones.”
“I love the way you think,” I whispered before kissing his cheek. He blushed before going back to mixing the dough. Once it was done, we separated it into smaller batches and after wrapping them with cellophane, we put them in the freezer.
“Why don’t we have a snack while we wait for it to cool off,” I said, and backed Randy up against the counter. My lips traced the line of his neck that I’d grown to love and was more familiar to me than I would have ever thought possible.
“Sure, what are you hungry for?” he breathed out, as I ground my hardness against him.
“You. Always you.” I wasn’t lying, I wanted him every second of every day we were together. I reached for the button of his jeans and was about to pull them down when he froze.
“The door.” He tilted his head toward it while pulling me in for a kiss.
“Don’t care,” I said and after kissing him so deep both of us needed a breath, I dropped to my knees and pulled his jeans down. “Oh, baby.” Burying my face in his groin I took a deep breath of his scent before gripping him through his boxers. Hiseyes were on me waiting to see what I did next, and I didn’t need to look at him to know he was watching with anticipation.
I shoved his boxers to his thighs and swallowed him down, making him jolt and grip the back of my head.
“Eli,” he groaned, and his hips started to move. “I won’t last long. You’re driving me crazy.” He grunted before his hips made a stuttering jerk.
“Mmm,” I groaned with my mouth wrapped around his hard dick and looked up to meet his eyes. As soon as his eyes met mine, he came. We’d done this enough times he knew he didn’t need to warn me, and I swallowed him down more than willingly. When he was spent, I pulled his boxers back up before kissing him deeply.
“You’re spoiling me,” he whispered.
“I love you.” I pulled him close and for not nearly long enough, we both stood there enjoying the warmth of each other’s arms.
“I love you too. I’m so glad you like baking,” he said, and the two of us laughed.
