Page 28 of Five Days of Christmas Spice

I’m eating breakfast with a beautiful woman. All I want to do is taste her skin again. I want to give her another earth-shattering orgasm that severs the ties to the self-control she tightly holds on to.

“You are the present, and I have plans for the first day of Kinkmas.”

“Any hints?”

“Nope. But I want you to open your present.”

She sets her fork on her plate. “Noel, you don’t have to give me anything.”

Not this again. One way or another, I’m going to make this woman accept good things. “I like to.”

“Is that part of bringing you pleasure?”

“Oh yes,” I take her arm, guiding her out of the dining room. Behind the reception desk, I grab the gold-wrapped present and hand it to her.

“Noel, this is too much.”

“You haven’t opened it yet.”

“Kiss her!” Rick strides past me and points to the ceiling. Above our heads, the mistletoe hangs.

“It’s tradition.” Holly smiles, sets the gift on Rosa’s desk, and lays her palm on my chest.

Her hand is warm through my shirt.

I clasp it and lean forward, slanting my lips over hers. I kiss her with all the passion and gratitude I have for this woman I met on a plane.

Holly might not believe in coincidences, but surely this was meant to be?

She lets out a soft whimper as I twine her tongue with mine. My hand snakes up her back, pressing her close to me.

“Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Brennon.”

I reluctantly break off the kiss, glaring at Rosa.

“Important phone call from Theo.”

“Theo?” The surprise in my voice is almost comical. “I’m sorry, I’ve got to take this.” I brush Holly’s soft cheek with the back of my knuckles.

“I understand.” she smiles.

“Open the gift once you’re inside your room, and if you can’t follow the instructions, text me.”

I had planned to keep her busy until this afternoon and joke about having to be done at three, but this works out, too.

“Okay. See you later.” Holly grabs the gift, touches my arm, and strides past me, going upstairs to her room.

“This better be really important,” I growl at Rosa.

But Theo never calls for anything small.

“He tried to get you but couldn’t.”

I take my cell out of my pocket, and sure enough, three missed calls from my little brother.

Hoping whatever it is is quick, I disappear into my office.
