Page 42 of Christmas on Midwinter Lane

‘Oh I need you. Because you’re the problem. You’re not in my bedroom. And you should be.’

His mouth was on mine in a second and his kiss was like nothing I’d experienced before. It was deep and passionate and it seemed to reach right into my soul. This was a kiss to die for. This was a kiss to make me feel that all the heavens and the entire universe existed just so that we could share this kiss. This was a kiss I wanted to experience over and over again for the rest of my life.

And from the way Alec was reacting, I was pretty certain, he felt the same.

This was going to be the best Christmas ever.

And I couldn’t wait to spend it with Alec and with Melody.

I didn’t even care what Mum and Dad might say. But I knew Gran would be thrilled.

And I couldn’t wait to tell Madi.

Although … maybe I’d just send her a very quick text and tell her I’d call her tomorrow.

I had a gorgeous man to make love with.

And that was going to keep us both occupied for some considerable time.
