“I’ll get a Band-Aid.”

I sat there, frozen, my finger damp from Saxon’s tongue. He had actually sucked blood from my finger, winked at me, and kissed it. Holy crap. That was hot. Had he meant for it to be hot? Was he purposely turning me on? Or was that more friendly Saxon stuff? Maybe he liked the taste of blood.

He was back, and this time, he went down on one knee in front of me as he took my finger, dried it with a paper towel in his hand, then began to wrap the bandage around it. When he was finished, he let me go and moved back to his seat, picking up the garland he was working on like nothing had happened.

I blinked several times before finally managing to croak out, “Thank you.”

He glanced over at me. “You’re welcome.” Then, he went back to watching the movie.

The next hour, we managed to finish the popcorn garland, get through over half of the movie, and hang it on the tree. I yawned, standing back to look at our work.

“It’s perfect,” I said, smiling.

“Not yet. We still have the angel to put at the top.”

I looked around. “Where is it?”

“Not here yet. Hobby Lobby didn’t have exactly what I wanted. I had to order one online. It’ll be here in a couple of days.”

He had taken the choosing of the angel seriously, apparently. There had to have been at least ten different ones at Hobby Lobby to choose from, but I didn’t say anything. Another yawn hit me, and I covered my mouth.

“You need to get to bed. I’ll clean up in here,” he told me.

“No, I’ll help.” I started to go get the popcorn bowl.

Saxon’s hand wrapped around my wrist. “Go to bed,” he said.

I looked back at him. “I can help. It’ll be quicker if I do.”

He tugged on my wrist and pulled me closer to him. “You’ve had two early mornings.”

“So have you,” I pointed out.

“I’m not pregnant.”

I sighed. not liking the idea of him cleaning this by himself. Especially after he made tonight so much fun. “Thanks for tonight. This was the most fun I’ve ever had during the holidays.”

A smile curled his lips. “Good.”

His eyes dropped to my mouth, and I stopped breathing. Was he going to kiss me? If he did, would I end up crawling all over him?

When his eyes met mine again, he stepped back. “Good night, Haisley,” he said, then turned and began picking up the things we’d used.

“Good night,” I replied before going to my room.

I hurried inside and closed the door before leaning against it and closing my eyes. I had to stop making this into something it wasn’t. He was clearly trying to build a friendship between us since we would be coparenting. I was going to ruin it if I kept misinterpreting his kindness for more. I needed a cold shower. That was something I couldn’t help. My hormones were making me feel like this. I couldn’t shut my sexual desires off as much as I wished I could.

Straightening up, I made my way to the bathroom to get ready for bed. I was not going to let my attraction to Saxon ruin tonight. He’d been great. More than great. He’d given me one of my wishes. He might not have done it for me exactly, but it’d felt like it. That was the best Christmas present ever.

Eighteen

Haisley

The Christmas party at Saxon’s parents’ house was tonight. It had been on my mind all day. I had nothing to wear. I still hadn’t met his father, and I hadn’t seen his mother but the one time. They wouldn’t want me there. I shouldn’t be going.

How did I explain this to Saxon without making him mad?

Last night, we had watched another Christmas movie while the lights twinkled white. He was trying so hard, and my telling him I didn’t want to go to his parents’ Christmas party felt wrong.

I put my yoga mat away and went to get my bag. Saxon wouldn’t be here for two more hours, but I was done for the day. I had less classes on Friday. I hadn’t told him because I didn’t want him to have to leave work at the stables to come get me. Turning the corner, I ran into a hard chest and jumped back.

“I’m sorry.” My eyes locked with Saxon. “You’re here.”

He grinned. “I’m here.” he repeated.

“Oh.” I frowned. “Why?”

“Because you get off early today.”

I tilted my head to the side and studied him. “But I didn’t tell you that.”

He leaned close to my ear. “I make sure I know when you need me. Whether you tell me or not.”

His warm breath on my skin made me shiver. I was also one hundred percent sure my panties were wet.

He ran the back of his hand down my arm as he slowly moved back. “We need to go buy you a dress for tonight. And shoes. And jewelry.”
