‘Here you are, lass,’ Moira said, pulling up outside the door.

‘Thank you so much,’ I scooted out from the seat right as my mom called.

‘Hey mom, happy Christmas Eve!’ I said into my cell as Moira took my bag from the trunk of the taxi. I mouthed a thank you and swiped my card on her reader before trundling toward the house.

‘Is that you at Sebastian’s?’ Mom said, her voice tinny on the other end.

‘Yeah, just pulled up in the driveway.’

It had taken some time for my parents to accept my relationship with two men so much older than me. But they’d come round. Sort of.

‘Can you bring them home next year? Your dad and I are missing you too much. We’d love to meet them properly.’

‘I’d love to. I know it’s a bit different, but they both make me feel so loved, Mom. It’s more than I ever thought it could be.’

‘I can see, sweetheart. The past year you’ve been back to your sunny self. You’re a big girl and your choices are your own to make. If that’s a threeple, then that’s okay with us.’

I laughed. ‘A throuple, I think you mean?’

‘Well, whatever you want to call it, as long as they treat you well, it’s okay with me.’

‘Thanks, Mom.’

The door opened wide, spilling yellow light in a square on the snow.

‘You’re here,’ Damien said, dashing out and scooping me up in his arms.

‘I am.’ I laughed as he kissed me behind the ear. ‘And I’m on the phone with my mom.’

Damien took the phone out of my hand with a grin. ‘Mrs Landry! How are your holidays going?’

He deposited me in the hallway before heading into the kitchen, chatting up a storm with my mom.

‘There’s my girl,’ Sebastian said as I entered the sitting room. He put his book down and patted a knee, drawing me into his lap as I joined him. ‘Missed you this week, my love.’

He kissed me slowly, his breath tinged with cinnamon and red wine. I moaned softly as his hand slid up my waist, applying pressure that made me want to scoot even closer to him.

‘I can’t believe it’s been a whole year,’ I said as we broke the kiss.

‘I can. Every minute away from you felt like a day.’

‘So sappy,’ I said before nipping him with my teeth.

‘I’ll show you sappy...’

‘Oh? What will you do, Mr Rudolph?’

‘I’ll make you climb up here and ride my face until you squeal.’

The way my insides twisted, even a year on, at the dirty things he and Damien said, astounded me.

‘Don’t threaten me with a good time.’

‘Dinner time, you two,’ Damien said, handing me my cell so I could say goodbye to my mom.

‘We have a surprise for you after we’ve eaten,’ Sebastian said as I finished the call and pushed my cell into my pocket.

‘I do like surprises...’
