Chapter Eight

Lauren

It’s early afternoon before I actually make it into town the next day, and even though we’d planned to have a slow start this morning, I’m still surprised. I definitely thought Tristan would insist on getting up hours ago, but…well…we just kept finding reasons to drag each other back to bed. I can still feel his skin against mine, his stubble brushing against my tender, kiss-swollen lips, the ache in my pussy…hell, the aches all over.

I haven’t had sex like this for a long time. A really fucking long time. It’s a heady, crazy feeling, but it’s so damn good. The endorphins are still flowing through me as I approach Aspen’s stores, adding to my excitement and anticipation at the thought of decorating for Christmas.

I’m relieved to find exactly what I was hoping for almost immediately - leftover Christmas decorations sitting on sale and all sorts of items marked down in a last attempt to convince people to buy a few more before the season ends for good. Luckily for them, I don’t need much convincing. It only takes me a few minutes to choose a tree and then…well…maybe I see a few other things as I’m buying the baubles and lights. There’s a wreath that just looks gorgeous, some fairy lights that would be beautiful strung up along the wall and…an hour later, I’m walking out of the store with far more than I’d intended to buy, and a smile that keeps tugging at my mouth.

Well, Tristan did say he was fine with me getting a tree and some decorations…lets just hope he meant it.

After everything he told me yesterday, I definitely wasn’t planning on going overboard but…the idea of this being his first traditional Christmas might have influenced me a little more than I’d like to admit. There’s a part of me that wants to show him all the little things that I find special about the holiday…to maybe change his mind about some of it. I’m not even sure why - maybe because I’m not sharing it with my family this year - but the idea of sharing all that with him fills me with a warmth that’s a Christmas feeling.

I stop at a coffee house for a well-deserved break and a warming hot chocolate before I attempt to go searching for a last-minute turkey - something that will probably be a far less enjoyable experience - and I’m looking back through all my purchases with satisfaction when my phone buzzes, with my sister’s name lighting up the screen.

Hannah: Hey, stranger. Haven’t heard from you these last couple of days…soo clearly, you’re busy banging him, right?

I choke out a laugh, unable to stop the smile that tugs at my mouth as I read it. Hannah always did have a sixth sense about these things.

Me: Ummm, well…

Hannah: Oh my god! You actually did! Lauren! Tell me everything!

Me: Haha, well, I’m not sure what more there is to tell. You already seem to have guessed everything, after all.

Hannah: Oh, c’mon.
