Wrapped up in Cole’s arms, I feel utterly at home.

With a sudden realization, I understand something deep. It doesn’t matter whether I live in this lavish manor or at my parent’s suburban cottage. Home is where my mates are.

My eyes close from pure bliss.

“She’s nearly passed out,” I hear Jacob’s voice from nearby.

“Let’s cover her up before she catches a cold,” Kai’s voice sounds close to me. Next moment, someone drapes a warm shawl over my shoulders.

“It’s late already,” Cole says. “How about we take her to bed?”

“Good idea,” Kai says. “She needs to rest after the hectic week she’s had at the bakery.”

Cole’s arms tighten around my body once again as he hauls me up.

Blissful slumber comes over me. Jacob, Cole, and Kai make me feel so safe, that my mind switches off without a second thought, allowing me to slide into a deep sleep.

Winter

Soft kisses pepper my cheeks and lips, waking me up from a deep sleep.

“Morning, love,” Cole’s voice greets me as I slowly blink open my eyes. “It’s Christmas!”

A smile blossoms on my lips as I quickly sit up. Even though I’m excited, I can’t help the huge yawn that overwhelms me.

“You’re still tired,” Kai says from my other side, looking sheepish. “I’m sorry we kept you up late last night.”

Warmth blooms in my cheeks as I remember the hot lashes of pleasure the three brothers lavished on me last night. They were generous with me, making me come over and over until I simply passed out in a haze of lust and deep satisfaction.

Smothering another yawn, I’m about to climb out of bed but Kai stops me. “Where’re you hurrying off to?” he asks.

“I’m going to get started with breakfast,” I say, moving a stray strand of hair from my face. “I’ve planned a huge feast for Christmas dinner, so I want us to eat an early breakfast to make sure we’re hungry for it.”

Cole chuckles. “There are three of us, honey,” he says, pecking my cheek. “We’re an army of our own. You won’t find a morsel for leftovers when we’re finished with your Christmas dinner.”

“Is that a challenge?” I ask with a grin.

“Nah, we’ll just make sure not to waste anything you cook for us,” Kai says, pressing his lips to mine.

My arms go around his neck, pulling him closer. His sweet orange scent is so addictive, that I deepen the kiss. If I wasn’t truly worried about making breakfast, I’d simply never leave this bed and my two mates.

“Where’s Jacob?” I ask, forcing myself to break the kiss.

“He’ll be here any minute,” says Kai, his eyes still half-hooded from our kiss.

“We made breakfast for you this morning,” Cole explains. “This way, you can catch a break before attempting that massive feast for us.”

“Seriously, Winter,” says Kai, taking my hand. “You don’t have to go overboard for us. We’ll be happy with soup and ham sandwiches for dinner.”

Warmth flares in my chest. They’re worried about me tiring myself out.

Shaking my head, I grin. “We’re making traditions this year,” I tell them. “You guys got me the most wonderful tree in the whole world, so it’s my turn to whip up the best Christmas dinner to mark our celebrations.”

“All right, then,” Cole relents, leaning his head against my shoulder. “Just let us help, okay?”

I nod, enjoying their closeness.
