She is perfect.

“You’re the perfect combination of wit and beauty.”

I wait for her reaction while she looks at me like I have said the wrong thing again before she shakes her head, laughing.

“You’re driving me mad,” she says, which isn’t what I have counted on.

“I want to assure you that’s not what I’ve planned to––”

I can’t finish my sentence when she swivels, leans to me, wraps an arm around my neck, and presses her lips against mine.

Her move is so unexpected that I don’t even react.

And I don’t know whether she’s still mad at me or not.

But we continue to kiss. Like two teenagers. The way I kissed when I knew nothing about kissing a woman.

She doesn’t push it, tenderly teasing my lips.

But she enjoys it nonetheless, smiling against my lips.

“You shouldn’t tell about this to anyone, or I’ll track you down and slash your tires before stabbing you,” she jokes, and a wave of pleasure sweeps through me.

“Do you know who you’re talking to?” I ask, my arm lopped around her waist, her tits pressed against my chest.

She presses he forefinger to my lips.

“Shh…” she says, her breath hot on my lips. “I asked you about your last name. And you never told me your name. I don’t care who you are. If I hear anything about Miss Scarlett kissing the man who played Santa for the kids, I’ll come after you. Okay?”

She lifts her eyebrows at me while I grow hard for her.

“Okay.”

I take her hand and remove her forefinger from my lips.

“If you want me to keep my mouth shut, then you also have to keep your mouth shut.”

“You can count on it. I’m not the one to talk.”

“Good.”

She pushes away from me, but I don’t let her go.

“There’s one more thing,” I say, and she shifts her focus back to me. “I was serious about those rides.”

Her eyes widen with surprise.

“Truly? Don’t you have anything else to do? Christmas is around the corner.”

“I know… But I’m sure I can squeeze something in if you tell me when you need me.”

“I can take the train. Or call a cab.”

“I’m sure you can.”

“I can drive.”

“I have no doubt.”
