Then slowly, we both slid down the glass until he was holding me in his lap.
The fire was roaring in the background while we sat against the window. The snow was coming down hard outside, buckets of it falling onto the concrete city below us. We both heaved for air as we wrapped our arms around one another, our lungs drawing in the sex-tainted air around us. Colin tucked my head underneath his chin before he pressed a kiss to my forehead, and the feeling alone tingled my skin. I pressed deeper into him as a smile crossed my face. Then I found Colin’s fingertips and laced them up with mine.
I couldn’t have concocted a better way to spend Christmas if someone had allowed me the chance.
“Abby?”
“Yes?”
“Are you happy?”
I looked up at him with a grin on my face before he looked down at me with that serious glare again. His eyes were locked onto mine, and his brow was furrowed deeply. His fingertips were running through my disheveled hair, and I could tell he was serious. He really did want to know if I was happy with him. Here. On this cold Christmas night, leaning up against a window he’d just pressed me into with his own body.
I gave him the only answer I knew to give him, and the smile that crossed his face fluttered my heart.
“Happier than I’ve been all year,” I said.
He picked me up and carried me toward the fire before placing me onto the couch. He handed me a blanket to wrap my naked body in, then started pulling all the cushions off the couches. He threw them in front of the fire before grabbing a blanket of his own. Then he offered me his hand. I smiled as I took it, allowing him to pull me down onto the cushions before our lips intertwined with one another’s once again.
We parted to catch our breath as his hand cupped my cheek, his thumb rolling over my skin as a bright smile crossed his face. I loved his smile. It ignited his eyes and made him seem less intimidating. But what I enjoyed about it the most was how familiar it had become. What I enjoyed the most was how much easier it was to pull it from him.
And how willing he was to offer it up to me.
“Merry Christmas, Abby.”
I leaned forward and captured his lips one last time before I smiled into his skin.
“Merry Christmas, Colin.”
THE END
