“Hey, you did okay.” Tuesday kissed Ozzie’s brow. “You lasted what? Like ten minutes? I’m pretty impressed. After all,I am very sexy.” He teased a tentacle down Ozzie’s stomach. “Mmm, and so are you.”
Ozzie smiled shyly. “It wasn’t easy, I’ll tell you that much.”
“Good. ’Cause the feeling is super, super mutual.” Tuesday snuggled in close. “So, guess we should tell Todd we’re done now, huh?”
“Right.” Ozzie cringed. “After I die of embarrassment and we get back home, how about we get in our comfiest clothes, smoke a big bowl, and watch a movie?”
“That sounds amazing, baby.” Tuesday smooched Ozzie’s cheek. “Oh! How aboutDie Hard? Feeling very into movies with limos in them right now. Plus, it’s the ultimate Christmas movie. And oh, oh, we can watch thatHouse Aloneone too.”
“Hell yeah. It’s like you read my mind.” Ozzie beamed, but then he frowned worriedly. “Wait. You can’t actually do that, right?”
“Nope. Sorry.” Tuesday giggled. “My alien powers are limited to being gooey and really super amazing at sex and food. You know, the important things in life.”
Ozzie chuckled. “Let me tell Todd he can come back now.”
“Make sure you leave him a really big tip.”
“Don’t worry, I will.”

Waking up with Tuesday curled around him and partially melted was becoming Ozzie’s favorite thing in the world. It was warm, familiar, and oddly comfortable. Ozzie smiled as he reached down to pet one of Tuesday’s tentacles, sighing contentedly.
It hadn’t even been a week, but Ozzie couldn’t imagine being without Tuesday now.
Yes, that was probably insane, but so was having a beautiful alien crash into his tub.
An alien who was sweet, funny, caring, and…
Wow.
Pretty much perfect.
Every night since the party had been incredible—from lounging around watching TV, cooking and sharing delicious meals together, and of course, their passionate love life. Since their tumble in the back of the limousine, they’d both been pretty much insatiable.
Ozzie’d had more sex in the last few days than he’d had in the last fewyears.
And yes, while that was certainly enjoyable, there was so much more to their budding relationship.
Marathoning movies, talking for hours, trading jokes, falling asleep in each other’s arms…
Yeah, it was pretty damn perfect.
There was no one else Ozzie could imagine celebrating the winter solstice with, and today was the day. The only thing better than waking up with Tuesday was knowing they were going to spend the holiday together. He was a little nervous, but his excitement quickly outweighed his anxiety.
After all, Tuesday had sat through threeLord of the Ringsmarathons. He’d already proven that he really cared about Ozzie, so celebrating the solstice was nothing to worry about.
Tuesday stirred as Ozzie continued to pet his arm, mumbling, “Mm, good morning.”
“Good morning.” Ozzie smiled. “Happy solstice.”
“Happy shoal-tice to you too. Mmph. What time is it?”
“Dunno.” Ozzie yawned. “I didn’t set an alarm.”
Tuesday snuggled in tighter. “Which means we can go back to sleep.”
Ozzie chuckled and kissed Tuesday’s curls. “It’s the solstice. We gotta get up and do witchy things.”
