My whole body heated. “Did you read any of them?”
“Maybe…” Garner teased, and I flushed with embarrassment. There were some pretty racy scenes in my books.
“I wondered where you got some ideas. But I think I know.” Garner smirked and there went my panties again. This man was too hot for his own good.
“Take it as a compliment.”
“Oh, sweet girl, I sure do. But more than that, I’m so proud of you. You went to school for what you wanted, and you’re a success. Are you still happy? Still satisfied with a career in writing?”
“More than I could’ve ever imagined. I wanted to stay in the city, near my publisher, living in my cute apartment. But my parents needed me here. My older brother and sister have families now. So, I gave up my life in the city, bought a cabin, and moved back home. I looked for you, but no one had seen you since you left.”
“Wow, Mags. You gave up all of that for your parents?”
“I did. And I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Besides, I was hoping and praying you’d come back, and we could raise a family here.”
Garner stopped in his tracks in front of a beautiful window display, a Christmas tree garnished with lights and ornaments lighting it up from the inside out. He let go out of my arm and took my hands in his. He walked us over to the door of the shop and pointed up. That’s when I stopped the mistletoe above us.
We kissed and kissed there on the busy street, under the mistletoe, not caring who walked by or saw.
My somehow lonely life suddenly wasn’t so lonely anymore.
There was a coffee stand open,the booth decorated with wreaths and tinsel, lights and ornaments, and a full selection of different hot drinks. Garner ordered us both a hot cocoa and the warm drink helped chase the cold as we finished our walk.
As we had planned, we ended in front of the park and waited in line for the next horse-drawn sleigh ride. The snow had stopped, but the flakes started again, slow and lazy as they took their time falling to the ground.
When it was our turn, Garner lifted me onto the sleigh, and we cuddled underneath the fur blanket. Just like I remembered, the sleigh took us around the park. And just like last time, our arms linked, my leg resting over his as the snow fell around us.
Garner’s fingers tapped the inside of my thigh, and my body froze while igniting at the same time. He moved his fingers up and down slowly, causing my breath to hitch in my throat. Slowly, he walked them upwards towards my throbbing, aching center, but always stopping right before he reached where I needed him most.
I gasped as the sleigh took a turn and his fingers rubbed the outside of my panties, and a loud moan escaped my lips. I clamped a hand over my mouth as Garner chuckled, the sound so low and deep it vibrated through every part of me.
Moving my leg off his, I leaned in close, my hand dancing close to his lap, his hard dick unable to hide itself beneath his jeans.
“Take me home, Garner.Now.”
CHAPTER FOUR
Garner
I sped backto her place, as fast as I could safely go anyway, with the snow coming down hard as the evening slipped into night.
This snow wasn’t anything my truck couldn’t handle, and I was thankful my parents kept it in good condition while I was away. I stopped by their cabin before Maggie’s, checked on the place, and grabbed my truck. I figured if things didn’t work out, at least I had a place to stay.
But it looked like luck was on my side tonight.
I had my Mags back, and I was about to show her just how much I missed her.
Once we made it back to her place, I carried her from my truck to her bed. We stripped off our jackets, hats, and gloves, our boots, my flannel, and her sweater. She climbed onto her bed and got to her knees while wagging her finger at me.
I didn’t hesitate. I unbuckled my jeans and slid them off while watching her eyes narrow into slits. She was horny and I could still tell. As if no time had passed. Lifting my shirt up andover my head, I tossed it to the side and enjoyed the way she studied my abs, licking her lips without even realizing she was doing it.
“Wow, G…” Maggie mumbled beneath her breath. “So, fucking hot.”
I laughed as I strode over to her in only my boxers, climbing onto the bed and pulling us both down to land amongst her many pillows.
Maggie was all woman now, her curves even curvier, her breasts fuller, and her hips and ass…fuck, she was sexier than I imagined and I couldn’t believe I finally had her next to me.
In bed. Inherbed.
