Then—then—she reaches down, slips two fingers into the valley of her cleavage, and pulls out a pair of sparkly elf ears.
“Can’t forget the ears,” she teases, her voice pure sin and jingle bells.
My jaw? On the floor.
My soul?Ascending.
My dick? Leading the way.
I can’t speak. Can’tbreathe.Every nerve ending in my body is screamingMate.
One brow arches. “Still breathing over there, Pembry?”
“No,” I manage, my voice an octave higher and very much sounding like middle school me. “Absolutely not.”
Ava steps backward, toward the fireplace, boots clicking on the hardwood, sounding like a countdown to my total ruin.
So yeah—this is happening. And I’m one elf-ear away from proposing with myentire body.
“Your boobs must hurt,” is what I croak, still stunned.

Ava bats her lashes. “So… Do you like your present?”
“Bells, I’m about to write a ten-book saga in your honor, complete with the same number of orgasms. Or more. Let’s go for more.”
Swooping her up in my arms, she yelps, giggling, and I carry her across my loft as the battle-worn fantasy warrior who conquered the final war, claimed the crown, and is about to plunder this elven woman’s pussy because it holds the key to the entire goddamn realm.
“Soren!”
“Shhh,” I growl, already halfway to the bedroom. “I’m in character.”
“What character?”
“The one who’s going to spend the next several hours worshipping the elven goddess who saved his soul with a knock on Christmas Eve.”
Thirty-Nine

Never—neverin a million lifetimes did I think I’d be in Soren Pembry’s bedroom wearing a naughty cosplay outfit based onhisbook.
A book he said was inspired by me.
A book that hit number one on the fantasy charts in twelve countries.
A book I originally roasted on a livestream because the main character said,“Saddle my rage, princess.”
