“You know I don’t think this is a good idea for — ”
But she didn’t let him finish his sentence before she threw his arms around his neck. His mouth covered hers in an instant. “You know I’ve always had a fantasy about you and my office.” He waggled his eyebrows .
“Have you?” she teased .
“Want to try it out ?”
“Not when Georgia in on the other side of a flimsy door.” She smiled. “I stopped by to ask you about Christmas .”
“Christmas?”
She nodded. “Yeah. That big holiday we’ve spent all month preparing for .”
“Oh right. Christmas. That Christmas. What about it ?”
She shoved her hands in her back pockets. “Well, I wondered since we’ve been spending so much time together lately… well…we haven’t exactly been public about it, but do you want to spend Christmas with me ?”
He let out a deep laugh. ?
??Baby, where else would I be on Christmas morning ?”
She sighed. “Really ?”
“Really. Let’s do it. Your place or mine ?”
“We have to do mine I guess because of my car .”
Evan shook his head. “I think I’m done sneaking around. Who cares if the mayor is fucking the woman he loves .”
Cami’s eyes widened .
“What? I can say fucking at work.” He looked serious .
“No.” She shook her head. “It was the other word .”
“Love?”
She nodded. “You love me ?”
He tangled his hands in her hair and kissed her. “Of course I love you. I fucking love you. I love fucking you. I love everything about you .”
“I love you too.” She followed his eyes. “And right now I’m actually considering playing out your crazy sex fantasy in your office .”
He laughed harder than before. “Nice try, but you were right about that one.” He pinched her on the ass and she squirmed .
“Then let’s do Christmas at your house. We did decorate the tree together. And it’s cozier. I just have the little upstairs apartment .”
“I like your place too .”
His arms were around her waist. She liked how he held her. How he always liked to touch her .
“But it should be your house .”
“All right,” he agreed. “After the ball on Christmas Eve we’ll head back to Cove Avenue where I promise to give you every gift you’ve ever wanted all night long .”
She blushed. What in the hell would Georgia think if she overheard any of this .
“You promise, Mr. Mayor ?”
