Fairy lights have been strung out across my living room floor for the last thirty minutes. There’s a huge-ass knot in the middle of the wire. They were the only Christmas decoration that made it from my last shitty apartment. And despite all the great sex earlier, we’ve been arguing over the best way to undo the knot for a shockingly long time.

I gave up after five minutes, poured a glass of wine, and sat my ass down at my kitchen island.

Kye, meanwhile, is still sitting cross-legged on the living room floor in nothing but his boxers. His jeans were still damp, and he refused to put his T-shirt on, so I have a fantabulous view of his fine self in boxers, trying to undo a tangle of Christmas lights.

It doesn’t sound that hot, but trust me, it is: the guy has the body of a Greek god and the kind of ink that should be put into an adult coloring book. I mean, I kind of want to take a Sharpie to his arms and just doodle in the parts that aren’t colored. There aren’t many, but my neon Sharpies could really make a great addition.

“You need to find a cookie or something,” Kye says without looking up from the lights. He pulls one end through a loop he’s widened. “You’re drooling.”

“In your dreams.” I take a sip of my wine. “Aren’t you done with those lights yet? Christmas won’t wait for you, you know.”

I can’t see it, but I’m pretty sure he rolls his eyes. “Babe, I’m a man. I can fix anything, whether it’s a broken electronic, a chipped shelf, or a knotted string of lights. I just need a little time.”

“Jessie waited two days for Aidan to take out the trash before she did it herself.”

“And your point is?”

“I want my lights on my tree tonight, not in two days. Because I might kill you if you’re still here then.”

He turns his head toward me slowly with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. “Nah, you won’t kill me. I’ll just get naked every time you feel the urge.”

And I can imagine what he plans to do after he gets naked.

I shake my head and take another sip as he works the lights. I think he’s getting somewhere, but then again, he is a guy. He could probably make it look like he’s untying them while making the knot even worse.

I rest my chin on my hand and watch him. It’s getting a little warm in here, since I had to turn the heat up so he wouldn’t freeze to death in his underwear, but he hasn’t noticed. I think the last time I saw so much concentration for so long was when my grandma accidentally bought a hamster ball instead of a treat ball for her cat, and Señor the tabby spent an hour trying to get into the thing.

“I’m hungry,” Kye announces, setting the lights back down. “Do you have any food?”

I move to stand, then realize, shit.
