“Baby, I knew that boy would beat me to you, but I am okay with that. If this works out the way that I want it to, then I want both you and River comfortable alone together, but I have a condition.”
“W-what is the condition?” His voice is low yet firm.
“That you both tell me what you did together. I want to know how he touched you, how he tasted you and you him.” He shivers at my touch and my words, making my balls ache for release.
Seeing the heated gaze looking back at me, I know that we are all in for one hell of a sleigh bell ride.

RIVER
Theo picked me up right on time, like the good boy that he is. Seeing him smile and at ease makes me think something has happened since I last saw him a few days ago.
We are currently walking toward the food vendors that the mayor hired for the month of December leading up to Christmas Eve. The night air smells freaking amazing, and it makes my stomach grumble with a need to be filled with delicious sugary things.
Theo chuckles next to me, his hand feeling warm in mine.
“Someone is hungry,” he says.
“I am starving. I did not eat lunch today to be ready for tonight.”
He frowns; it reminds me of Colt. “You cannot skip meals, River. Please, do not do that again.”
I stop walking, and so does he. He is looking at me with a sweet-boy look, but I see a layer of protection under the surface. Theo may be hiding some dark side to him that I am really fucking hoping Colt can pull out during sex.
“If it pleases you, I will not skip a meal again, okay?”
He nods, offering me a small smile.
“I see that you are channeling Colt with your answer,” he asserts.
I shrug, leaning in. “I like to please my lovers, honey. You will find out soon enough.”
“Are you always this flirty?” he asks as we start walking again.
“Yes. It gets me in trouble sometimes, but other times it gets me what I want.”
“And what do you want, River?” His voice is a little hesitant, but I do not bring it up right now; I want us to have a good time.
“I want to be loved, to be cared for and fucked into next week by my lover, or lovers.” I wink.
“Sounds like you know what you want; must be nice.”
“Baby, everyone should be at a stage in their life to know what they want. Now you need to decide what you would like to eat as our appetizers, because, honey, I plan on filling you up all night.”
“God, River.” He groans, his cheeks darkening with embarrassment, but I do not miss the smile on his handsome face.
The festive lights shimmer above us as we walk hand in hand, giving me the warm and fuzzies. The air is filled with hints of cinnamon, roasted nuts, and the laughter of kids enjoying the activities that have been brought into town.
We blend into the holiday crowd, pointing out things that we see on our walk. The cold air is keeping me from overheating thinking of all the naughty things I want to do to Theo and what I want him to do to me. Oh, and do not get me thinking about Colt. That man will make my body turn into lava with what I want him to do to me.
“Here you go.” He hands me a paper bowl containing slices of honey glazed ham that smells divine, with mashed potatoes and green beans.
“This smells amazing.” I moan, then dig in.
Theo does the same, both of us sitting and watching the people around town while we eat our meals. The silence is nice; it is comforting that we do not need to speak to enjoy our time together. Some dates I have been on, the men like to talk the whole time about random manly bullshit.
That turns me off, as I like to just be me, and the person I am spending time with can relax and be themselves. Theo is shy, so pushing him to open up, I think, will only keep him locked up in his head.
