Braden and Jarrett staggered to their respective beds around nine p.m., full to the brim with Christmas dinner and hot buttered rums. I glanced around the messy living room. Flames danced in the gas fireplace, and that Charlie Brown tree looked pretty good in the dark with its lights twinkling merrily.

“Want another one?” I asked. We hadn’t been guzzling them like my roommates, but I was feeling the buzz. Judging by Aspen’s slightly glazed eyes and contented smile, she was too.

“Why not? Just cut back on the ram…uh…rug…uh…rum!”

I chuckled and mixed our drinks while she surfed through the streaming choices on our obscenely large flat-screen TV. Before returning to the living room, I slipped down the hall to my bedroom, returning with a small package, which I shoved in my pocket. I snagged the glasses off the counter and carried them to the couch, dimming the lights on the way. I pushed aside a few piles of paper and sat the glasses on the coffee table.

“Your condo is really nice.” Aspen smiled up at me as I sat down next to her, close enough our thighs rubbed each other.

“It definitely looks like a bachelor pad.”

“Minus a few naked women hanging around.”

I chuckled and decided to be honest. “Sometimes there’s that, too.”

“Why am I not surprised?”

I shrugged. “Those two are horndogs.”

“And you’re not?”

I gazed into her eyes and let her see the lust burning like a roaring fireplace. “No, not really. Lately there’s only been one woman I want to see naked.”

Her sweet giggle did something to me and my dick. She was beautiful and special and hopefully mine. I dug into my pocket and produced the small box. “I have a little something for you.”

She stared at the rectangular jewelry box and gasped, covering her mouth with her hands. “You didn’t need to buy me a gift.”

“I know, but I wanted to.”

“I didn’t get you anything.”

Before she got all worried about not reciprocating, I stepped in front of her guilt and blocked her shot. “But you did. You cooked for us and made your incredibly fucking fantastic hot buttered rums. I’d say we’re even.”

“Well, if you put it that way.” Her wicked smile sent pulses of pleasure rippling through me.

“And if you think it doesn’t, you can make it up to me tonight.”

“I can do that.”

“Open it.”

She turned the box over in her hand as if savoring it. I held my breath and waited. I’d never bought a girl jewelry before, but the salesclerk had been more than helpful. She’d promised I couldn’t go wrong with this particular piece of jewelry. I held off my impatience and let her take her time, even though it was killing me.

Slowly, she lifted the lid and peered inside. My heart thumped in my chest in fear she might hate my gift. She lifted the necklace out of the box and turned it around in her hands, examining the diamond pendant from all angles.

“Do you like it?” I wrung my hands together.
