“Doubt the story has extended outside of Christmasville, but I wanted to be on the safe side.”
“Yeah, ok.”
My life would forever change because I was the beer billionaire’s girlfriend.
**P**
Noah and I didn’t go into town Monday. We fucked each other’s brains out most of the day. It was one of the most invigorating days I ever had with a man. That evening we walked over to my house to trim my tree and sing Christmas carols. Correction I sang Christmas songs. Noah again kept my cup flowing with Brandy eggnog. Delicious.
Noah stepped out the front door of my cabin. I locked the door behind us. “While we’re in town, I need to buy a new coat.”
“Oh, yeah.” Hands stuffed in his pockets, he trudged backward toward his truck parked beside mine. “What color?”
He threw up a gloved finger. “Let me guess. Gold.” Noah chuckled behind his gold aviator sunglasses.
My lips parted.
“No, wait. A silver coat with tinsel hanging over the shoulders and down the arms.”
I bent over and packed snow in my gloved palm.
“You’ll miss, baby. I’m too quick for you.”
I pulled back and tossed the snowball, smacking him in the face.
“Yeah, look who has a great throwing arm. Never underestimate a woman. I played softball until eighth grade,” I laughed.
“There are seventeen days until Christmas. Plenty of time to learn about each other’s lives.”
He whipped his gray coat sleeve across his face.
“Sounds like a plan.”
I blinked, and he pulverized me with a snowball.
“Varsity football captain, baby.” He threw his fist in the air.
“We were both athletes as teenagers.” I walked toward my truck.
“I’ll drive.”
“Babe, I’ll drive.” He ran around and opened my door.
I peeked over the side of the mountain. His arms wrapped around me from behind.
“Hey, don’t ever do that. It’s dangerous. I wouldn’t want you to slip over the edge.”
“We need a fence. “On it.”
I pecked his lips.
Sitting on the passenger side of his Suburban, I stared out the window admiring the pure white untouched snow covering our land.
“Are you keeping the house?”
“Hope, I think so.”
A smile widened across my face. “That’s great news.”
