"Me too," Alex responded, "but you need to come on before I freeze my ass off." He opened the door to a large white pickup truck and helped her get into it.
She waited until he was inside too, and they were headed toward a tree farm out in the country to respond, "No freezing your ass off. I like it too much."
"Good. It's all yours." He licked his lips and glanced at her.
It didn't take much, and she was already thinking about him naked and sweaty again.
Chapter 2
The ride to the tree farm was quick and comfortable, the silence between them not needing to be filled by idle chatter. He parked the truck on the snow-covered grass and turned the engine off.
"You ready?" The excitement in his face was almost palpable.
"I am. Are you always this excited at Christmas time?" She opened her door and got out.
He walked around to her side and shut her door before pressing her against the side of the truck with his body. "No. It's the first year I have someone to celebrate with. I can't help this feeling inside of me that keeps bubbling up."
"I love it." She stretched onto her toes and gave him a sweet kiss.
"Yeah, well, I love you." He pressed his hips forward and kissed her once more, deepening it a little before pressing his forehead to hers and panting softly. "I want you. It feels like forever since I've been buried inside you."
"It was this morning before we left for work, horny man," she giggled and pushed at his chest.
"That was forever ago. I want more." He chased after her as she jogged toward the opening to the tree farm. "Gimme!"
"All yours, but behave for the next hour, and I'll warm you up on the way back to the house."
He stopped beside her and took her hand. "I like the sound of that."
"Good." Jamie let out a soft exhale, loving the smoky manifestation of her breath. It was freezing cold out, which was fun for a while, but they'd have to hurry, or freezing their asses off would be the least of their worries. Fingers usually went first, and Alex was too talented with his to chance it.
"Alright. Let's get the biggest tree we can find." He walked to the counter and pulled out his wallet.
Jamie let him talk with the owner about where the large trees were located, and walked around, looking at the beautiful evergreens that lined the large lot ahead of her in thick rows.
He walked up beside her a few minutes later with an ax over his shoulder. "How do I look?"
She glanced over at him and lifted her hand to her mouth, laughing loudly. "Like a hot, sexy lumberjack.” She couldn’t keep a straight face. “Are we really supposed to chop down the tree with an ax?"
"I don't know. I'm new to this. Maybe it's a newbie joke the old guy is pulling. He offered me a chainsaw, but said that real men chop their trees down with this." He smirked.
"Oh, for Pete’s sake! You men and your need to prove your manhood.” She rolled her eyes, but couldn’t hide her smile. “Did he give you a number to call for him to deliver the chainsaw when you've had enough of chopping?"
"Hey! Stop attacking my manhood." He reached for her hand.
"Oh, baby... I've not even started to attack your manhood. That's for the truck ride home."
He over-exaggerated swallowing. "Let's get this big-ass tree and get the hell out of here."
"You know the ceilings are high at the house, but not as tall as the sky. Let’s make sure we get a tree that's going to fit." Jamie pointed toward the medium-sized trees. "Something like that."
"What? No. We need something huge. You're a girl. You don't know how to measure stuff just by looking at it."
"Sure do." She tugged her hand from his. "Eight inches is something I've got down well."
"You bad thing." He popped her butt and moved toward a huge evergreen. "I want this one for us."
"That's too big, Alex. Seriously." She walked around the tree and took a deep breath. The familiar smell brought back a slew of childhood memories, good and bad.
