As their breathing returned to normal, Felix pulled back and looked at his lover as Claybourne eased from his body.
“You thought I was pregnant?” he asked.
Claybourne flushed and nodded.
“You want a baby?”
“Someday. I wouldn’t mind a small version of you racing around.” Claybourne smiled.
“We better have a small version of you, I don’t think you could handle two of me.” Felix laughed.
“I don’t even deserve you, much less two of you.” Claybourne kissed down Felix’s neck.
“For that awesome statement, I won’t return your Christmas present,” Felix teased.
Claybourne propped himself up on one elbow, his hand against his head. His entire face was transformed into an eager, boy-like expression. Felix felt his heart melting.
“What did you get me?” he asked.
Felix blushed. “You’ll laugh.”
“I won’t, tell me. Please.”
“I got you a new Dyson that picks up animal hair, since I’ve been shifting more in the house.” Felix watched his mate’s face for disappointment.
Claybourne sat up excitedly. “The Dyson DC39? The one with the HEPA bagless system?”
“Yup.” Felix grinned. It looked like he knew his mate better than he realized.
“That’s way better than what I got you.” Claybourne frowned.
Felix sat up, curious. “What did you get me?”
“Oh. A car.” Claybourne’s eyebrows furrowed together. “But don’t worry, we’ll go out shopping to get you something fun. How about we get some things for the house that you pick out?”
“You got me a car?”
“I know, boring. You can’t play around with it, I’m sorry.”
Felix wrapped his arms around his mate’s neck.
“You got me a freaking car!” Felix demanded.
Claybourne nodded.
“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Where is it? What is it? When can I drive it?” he asked, practically vibrating.
“I parked it in the garage out back. I got you the GL Class Mercedes SUV. I wanted you to be safe.”
Felix squealed and launched himself toward the back door.
Claybourne caught him around the waist, laughing.
“You’re naked and it’s snowing.”
“I wanna play with my car!” Felix whined.
“Later, Trouble. How about I make us some homemade apple pie? We can listen to Christmas carols.” Claybourne pressed their bodies together.
