BASH

The last shred of willpower I had to resist Brook left me after that earthshattering kiss in the kitchen. A kiss that damn near led me to claiming her right there on the same island Molly’s currently using to bake cut-out sugar cookies. Greg might well haunt me for the rest of my days for what we did in his house, but I’ll never say it wasn’t worth it.

Because I’m no longer hesitating when it comes to Brooklyn. The past couple of days without her have been the worst kind of torture. I’ve replayed the other night over and over in my head. Each time I came to the same conclusion: I handled it how I needed to. But now that’s she back in my orbit, now that we’ve given in with clear heads… I make a vow. One way or another, I’m going to make her mine this Christmas.

“What’s your favorite Christmas movie?” Brook asks from the opposite side of the couch. She’s been laying out ornaments with hooks for a tree I’ve yet to retrieve from the basement.

Now that I’m done with all the garland and lights, I need to grab it. But her question gives me an excuse to stall a few minutes more. So I plug in a string of lights I already know works before answering, “Die Hard.”

Her eyes light up. “Really?”

“I know some people don’t think it’s a Christmas movie—”

“Only the crazy ones,” Brooklyn says, eyes sparkling. “Of course it’s a Christmas movie. The best Christmas movie.”

“Was Greg’s favorite, too,” Molly chimes in from the kitchen, reminding me that she can see and hear us through the pass-through opening. It’s why I’ve stayed on my side of the sectional. I don’t trust my hands to stay to themselves. “Those two would watch it at least a dozen times a year.”

The mention of my late best friend should fill me with guilt. Not an hour ago, I had my hand on Brook’s tit. Had Molly been any later, I’d likely have had my cock buried in her pussy. Maybe Greg would cut me some slack, though. Because though I have plenty of dirty things I want to do to this sexy, curvy beauty on the opposite side of the couch, I have every intention of keeping her.

Forever.

I can no longer deny that I’ve been in love with Brooklyn since the funeral. Since the first time I truly saw her as a grown woman. The same woman Greg asked me to protect at all costs.

Brook might hate me if she found out how many dates I’d threatened to ensure there wouldn’t be any second dates. She’d definitely be pissed if she learned I had a hand in getting her fired. But it was that or I was going to end up in prison for murdering her sleazy boss.

“I guess we’re ready for the tree,” I announce, out of lights that I can test a second time.

“It’s downstairs in the storeroom all the way in the back,” Molly explains.
