Page 108 of Three Pucks and a Baby

“What time are your flights?”

Before Grayson could respond, Theo said, “Mine’s at two, and his is at one.”

“Which is why it’s insane we’re leaving so early,” Grayson replied.

“I want to make sure we have plenty of time to avoid any issues that might make us miss our flight.”

Furrowing my brows, I glanced at Bennett. “What time is your flight?”

I instantly regretted my question at the pain radiating in Bennett’s eyes. “I’m just their ride since I’m not going home for Christmas.”

“You’re staying here?” At his nod, I asked, “By yourself?”

When Bennett once again nodded, Grayson threw his arm around Bennett’s shoulder. “I told the bastard to come home with me like at Thanksgiving.”

Shaking his head, Bennett replied, “While I appreciate the offer, I’m not takin’ advantage of your family’s hospitality again.”

Grayson snorted. “Like my parents give two shits about hospitality.”

“Well, I do.”

I stepped forward to cup Bennett’s cheek with one of my hands. “If you won’t go with Grayson, then come with me to my family’s get-together.”

“No, I–”

“Nope. Don’t argue. There is no way in hell I’m leaving the potential father of my baby alone on Christmas.”

Bennett’s lips quirked up. “So, basically I’m gettin’ the sympathy vote because of my swimmers?”

While Grayson and Theo laughed, I smacked him playfully. “Even if you weren’t my baby’s potential father, you’re still my–”

“Orgasm donor?” Grayson suggested with a chuckle.

Leave it to him to try and lighten the mood. “I was going to say friend, and someone I care about very much.”

What Bennett couldn’t say was reflected in his eyes. “Thanks, Vivian. I would love to come to Christmas with you.”

Smiling, I popped on my tiptoes to plant a quick kiss on his lips. My action earned a grunt of protest from Theo and Grayson. “Like I’m not going to kiss you both as well.”

“You better,” Theo replied before dragging me against him.

His warm lips covered mine as he began devouring me. I melted against him, my hands fisting the back of his shirt.

“All right. That’s enough. Save some for me,” Grayson protested.

“And me. I barely got anything compared to Theo,” Bennett argued.

I giggled against Theo’s lips. As he squeezed my ass, I jerked away. “Don’t start something you can’t finish.”

He groaned as I extricated myself from his arms. I then went over to Grayson. Like Theo, he ravaged my mouth while his hands slid up and down my curves.

“Okay, my turn,” Bennett interrupted.

Grayson moaned in protest as I tore my lips from his. “He’s going to be here with you for the holidays and can kiss you whenever he wants.”

Bennett wagged his brows. “Lucky me,” he replied before sweeping me into his arms. His kiss wasn’t quite so desperate as Theo and Grayson’s.

“All right, all right. It’s time to go,” Theo grumbled.
