Chapter Nine

MINGO

I had fantasized about a gorgeous guy tenderly wiping a streak of flour off my cheek more times than I could count. None of my ex-boyfriends had understood what living out the holiday movie rom-com meant to me. But why oh why, out of all the people in the world, was Marley Garland the partner who acted out my dreams to perfection?

The gentle way he cupped my cheeks in his hand before he kissed me stole my heart. His demanding kisses had played to win the day before, but now, it was the lingering, chaste sweetness worthy of a Hallmark movie. Gone was the harsh passion, and in its place was the softness that made my heart flutter like the whirlwind of turtledoves doing laps in my stomach. It was the perfect boyfriend kiss I had spent my entire life wishing for, and the guy I was supposed to hate was making all my wishes come true.

My indignation flared at him trampling on something that meant so much to me. I pushed him with the full force of my anger. How dare he mess with the sanctity of romantic holiday baking kisses! “Oh, fuck you!”

“Fuck me yourself!” Marley growled back, the aggression of it grabbing my dick’s immediate attention.

I scoffed. “Yeah, right. As if you’d actually lower yourself to fuck me.”

“I’m serious.”

His tone certainly implied his words were true. But I could only blink at him because I didn’t understand how we had gone from sugar sweet to anger so fast, despite being the instigator of the mood swing.

Marley pulled me closer, holding me captive. He trailed his fingers up my throat to stroke under my chin like I was my cat. And damned if it didn’t make me want to purr, just like Figgy. Something shifted in his demeanor, taking a turn for the sensual. “Let’s make this a not-so-silent night.”

He kissed me to silence my protests. The heat was back from before, which ignited the desire within me into a roaring blaze. Damn him for being so irresistible! I had to put up a little resistance to save face. “I’m still fucking pissed at you.”

“That’s fine.” He cut off my protest with another insistent kiss that forced me to grab hold of his sweater to keep myself from being swept away by his unexpected passion.

I jerked with surprise when Marley cupped my hard-on and gave it a gentle squeeze. He smugly asked, “Is this a candy cane in your pocket, or are you just happy to fight with me?”

Stupid, stupid body betraying me! But his joke deserved one in return. “That excite-mint has nothing to do with you.”

“Let’s take this argument to the bedroom.” Before I agreed, he swept me off my feet to carry me to bed like a romantic Christmas caveman.

Figgy cried when I shut her out of my room. But Marley didn’t give me time to pay her much attention as he aggressively stripped us both out of our clothes while backing me toward my bed.
