“I love it!” Leo says as he jumps up to hug me, too.
“Wait—There’s more,” Grant says as he continues to read the rest of the note. “It’s not just a race car excursion, we’re going away for New Year’s.”
Asher pulls the paper up to read it himself. “Oh, it’s a cabin!”
“And there’s snowmobiles we can use!” Leo says excitedly.
“Sweetheart, this is too much,” Grant says, standing and pulling me into a hug. “Thank you.”
“You guys are worth it. Besides, it’s not just a present for you, I also get to enjoy it.” I pull back and smile up at him. His gray eyes crease around the edges as he smiles down at me.
“Spending time with you is the true gift,” he whispers before using the crook of his finger to tilt my chin up to him. His lips press to mine gently and my fingers dig into his t-shirt covered chest as I lick the seam of his mouth.
He deepens the kiss until I’m a panting mess. I see the satisfaction on his face as he pulls back and studies my heated face. His eyes roam down my lingerie-clad body until Leo pulls me away and dips me back into a heart-stopping kiss.
With an arm around my back and a large hand squeezing my ass cheek, I groan as my leg lifts to wrap around him.
“Leo, let her go, we have to give her our gifts.”
Leo places me back on my feet as I pant out, “Gifts?”
I glance at the tree and see a few boxes there. I know some are their gifts for each other but am not sure which are for me.
They tell me to sit in the big comfy chair as they each pass me a gift.
My gift from Asher is a beautiful pink and black leather jacket and matching helmet and gloves for his bike. I love riding with him and refused to let him buy me a helmet, so I’d picked a second-hand one up in the Spring. This was far nicer.
“I love it!” I say, giving him a hug and kiss before Grant passes me his gift.
It’s huge, over three feet wide, and when I rip off the wrapping paper I gasp at the photo that’s revealed.
“It’s us!” I say as he lifts it up and steps back to give me a better look. “Was this taken at the Winter festival?”
“Yeah. We stupidly didn’t take a photo there last year, but I made sure to get a group shot of the four of us this year.”
“It’s perfect,” I say in awe as I admire the snow backdrop of the festival, and the way that even though we’re all dressed in our snow gear, they are all finding a way to touch me in the photo. You can see the love we have for each other shining through.
“Thank you, Grant.” He seems to already know where to put it, moving a piece of artwork off the wall and replacing it with the canvas. “It looks perfect there.”
“Alright, shortcake, my turn!” Leo says, passing me a large gift box.
I sit down, undo the bow and pull off the lid. A laugh bursts from me when I see the contents. “Leo!”
“What? You’re always complaining you need more bras.”
I chuckle as I start to lift out different colored bras and underwear. They all appear to be my size, but there’s just so many. “There must be dozens in here!”
“Yep, and they’re all matching sets. I know how much you love to coordinate your colors,” he says with a smirk.
“My files, not my underwear!” I laugh. But I have to admit, I love the idea. I’ve never had matching underwear before, well besides the red ones I’m wearing now and the black ones that just happen to be the same color, and not specifically a set.
“But I love it, Leo. Thank you.”
He gives me a huge smile then takes the box from my lap and sets it on the table. They all move in front of me and Ifrown, wondering what they’re doing as they’re not holding anymore gifts.
“What are you?—”
“Whoops!” Leo cuts me off as he drops something on the ground and kneels to pick it up. “Dammit,” he grumbles as he seems to fumble it.
