“Dru,” I called out.
She appeared with a powdered sugar cookie in her hand and said, “Do you not like it?”
“I love it.” I shook my head. “But you better not have paid for this.”
She smiled. “I got a screamin’ good deal.”
“She really did.” Jasper came out with a cookie decorated like a tree, with so much icing that it was as thick as the cookie itself. “They knocked over a thousand dollars off of it because they price match. And Costco had the same thing on sale.”
“That doesn’t mean that you didn’t still spend too much,” I muttered.
“It wasn’t too bad,” she lied.
I’d be checking that later.
“What’s for dinner?” Jasper asked.
I sighed.
I guess I wouldn’t be getting Dru all to myself tonight.
But that was okay.
I’d get my time with her later.
In the meantime, “How’s Chinese sound? They deliver.”
After getting everyone’s replies, I walked into the living room to order.
When I did, I noticed the hearth, and my whole entire being went still.
There, on the hearth, were three stockings.
One for me.
One for Dru.
And one for Tavi.
“A Christmas tree in the bedroom, too?” I teased as I picked her up and dropped her on the bed.
She giggled as she came to a stop then started to pull her jeans off.
I watched as she stripped, taking it all in before saying, “What are you doing to me, Silla?”
“Whatever I want.” She lifted up, coming to her knees on the bed. “Take your pants off.”
I took my pants off, then my shirt, followed by my underwear.
I left them all at the end of the bed, then crawled up the length of it until I got to where she was kneeling.
“Now what?”
She placed her palm flat against my chest, right over my heart, and said, “Now you let me love you.”
I let her.
Oh, fuckin’ hell, did I let her.
She pushed me backward on the bed, and I fell to my back before widening my thighs, knowing where this was going.
She crawled between them, her hands smoothing up the length of my shins to my thighs, before she squeezed.
“You know,” she said as she wrapped her hand around my stiffening cock. “I really, really missed you.”
“Missed me? Or missed my cock?” I teased.
She sobered for a minute, dropping my cock, and crawling up the length of my body.
She sat with her pussy on my belly, and leaned forward so that her mouth was hovering over mine, looked straight into my eyes, and said, “I missed you. I missed your laugh. I missed seeing your handsome face. I missed listening to you talk. I missed talking to you about whatever is on my mind. I missed your hugs. I missed your touch. I missed everything. Not just a certain part of you.”
I cupped her face, my fingers dancing in the hair at her ears, and said, “Do you love me?”
She took a deep breath, held it for a few seconds, then released it before saying, “Like so, so much.”
I pulled her face down the rest of the way to mine and danced my lips over hers. “You know that I feel the same way, don’t you?”
“Yeah,” she breathed, her bottom lip caressing my top one. “I also know that it’s really soon. But I’m not really known for my restraint. Maybe the crazy gene runs through me, too.”
“Well, if you’re crazy, I’m crazy.” I chuckled. “Being crazy about you seems like it’s a pretty good way to live.” I pressed another kiss to her lips, so soft and sweet. “I love you, Drusilla.”
“I love you, too, Finnian.”
“Want to know something else crazy?”
She hesitated. “Does it have anything to do with my apartment?”
“Yeah.”
“I noticed today that I got an email that said ‘thanks for being a great tenant.’ And I got my deposit back.” She shook her head, causing a few of her long auburn locks to trail along my hands. “Oh, also, the movers called and said that they’d be here tomorrow with all of my stuff. Asked me when would be a good time. Since I’m working, I had to tell them you would be here whenever they got here. And then I gave them your number.”
I grinned wickedly. “Excellent.”
“Seriously, crazy.” She shook her head.
“That’s not the craziest part,” I said. “You moving in was pretty inevitable.”
She blinked.
“The crazy part is that I was going to ask you to marry me,” I said. “But see, the ring went missing. I had it delivered to the house today.”
I dropped one hand from her face and picked up her left hand. “Seems to be already on your finger.”
She snickered. “I figured I’d save you the trouble and go ahead and put it on. I’ll give it back for now. You can ask me when you’re ready.”
I twisted so that she was underneath me. “Known each other for less than a month. Moved you in. Marrying you when you’re ready. See? Two crazy people, so in love that we are practically fast-forwarding through all of the boring stuff.”
