CHAPTER 7

“THIS WAS A GREAT IDEA,” Tyler murmured against the rich fragrance of Rita’s hair. “I’m glad the snow forced us to stop early.”

Maybe forced was the wrong word. He’d seen a few flurries and immediately cited driving dangers, finding the closest hotel and checking them in before dinnertime. Sure, wild roadside lovemaking was great, but he’d wanted a soft bed. A hot shower. And plenty of room to try out the few toys Rita had left.

Tyler didn’t know when he’d felt this incredible. With Rita, he didn’t have anything to prove. She didn’t expect anything from him except that he be himself.

He tightened his arm around her waist and gave a deep sigh.

“S’good?” she murmured sleepily, her breath a warm caress against his skin.

“S’great,” he clarified. And it was. He felt he’d finally found that last piece of the puzzle, the one he hadn’t even realized he was missing. He had a good life. But with Rita in it, it would be amazing.

The job he loved was going to get even better, thanks to Rita. His free time was going to be filled with laughter and great sex, thanks to Rita. And his future?

The only problem with planning a future was Randy. Tyler thought about his call home the day before while Rita was selling her toys. He’d tried to broach the subject of getting over exes and the craziness of teenage love, but a recently dumped Randy had launched a rant about the fickleness of women and their lack of heart.

Not the opening Tyler wanted for his suggestion of a special guest for Christmas dinner. And as much as he wanted to tell his brother to grow up, a lifetime of protecting the kid was hard to overcome.

But he was a smart guy. He’d find a way to fix it so Randy got over himself, their mom wasn’t upset about her boys fighting, and Tyler got to keep Rita.

Somehow.

“I want to see you in Ponder Hill,” he said, figuring tiptoeing into the subject was better than diving.

She tilted her head back, her eyes a pool of sleepy sensuality, and gave him a smile that made his heart sing. “I have to spend Christmas with my family, but I’m sure I can sneak out for a little mistletoe action.”

Muscles he hadn’t even realized he’d tensed relaxed. She’d so easily accepted that they’d continue to see each other. He was more relived than he wanted to admit. With his free hand, Tyler tucked a stray lock of black hair behind her ear, loving the silky texture.

“I’ll be with mine, too.” He hesitated. He knew what he wanted to say. Despite the opening, he just wasn’t sure how to put it into words, though.

“You know,” she said slowly, her fingers tracing a concentrated pattern on his chest, “my family might not be too excited about our dating at first.”

“Huh?”

“Prom. You and Alison. Knocked up rumors.”

He grimaced.

“But hey,” she said quickly. “I’m sure they’ll get over it. I mean, it’d be crazy
