A Serengeti Christmas Read online

  Her emerald eyes narrowed and she propped a hand on her hip. “You‘re wearing that look.”

  “What?”

  “That look,” she insisted. “The one like you‘re wondering what the hell I‘m still doing here. Don‘t worry. I was just leaving. You can go back to sleep.”

  “This isn‘t that look.”

  “It looks like the look.”

  He shook his head. “Not the look.”

  She tipped her head to the side, and for just a second beneath all her bravado, he saw a glimmer of vulnerability. “So you want me to stay or what?”

  “Stay.” It was more a command than a request, but Shana didn‘t seem to mind.

  Her face cleared instantly and she flashed him a wicked smile. “Good, because I have an idea. Close your eyes.”

  He didn‘t want to take his eyes off her until he was certain she wasn‘t going to bolt. “Shana, I don‘t think—”

  “For fuck‘s sake, Caleb. I don‘t trust you either, but it‘s not like I‘m gonna chop off your balls. Just close your fucking eyes, okay? I wanna give you a present.”

  A present. Caleb closed his eyes, trusting his ears would tell him if her present was her patented disappearing act. He heard her pad over to the bedside, then felt the bed dip slightly under her weight.

  A moment later, her voice came, husky and low. “Open ‗em.”

  The second time Caleb opened his eyes on Christmas morning, he saw Shana kneeling over him, holding a sprig of mistletoe directly above his cock. She smiled with wicked promise and bent down, wetting her lips.

  “Merry Christmas, Caleb.”

  “Jesus Christ.”

  Just before he lost the capacity for rational thought, Caleb decided this was the best damn Christmas he‘d ever had. Shana was here with him and it didn‘t look like she was going anywhere. That was about as close as he‘d ever gotten to a bonafide Christmas miracle.

  If only he could be certain she‘d still be with him on New Year‘s Eve.
