“Make sure Joe leaves at a reasonable hour too.” I motioned towards his office. “He is probably going to try and stay late to work on the new idea he discussed with me earlier—you’re in charge of making sure that doesn’t happen.”
“I’ll have security escort him out if I have to.” She laughed under her breath.
My dinner with Mr. Jamison went pretty well, and I ended a lot earlier than I expected. He had a family waiting at home but felt like he needed to meet with me since he canceled our earlier meeting. We hammered out a few preliminary details for the app that he wanted for his company and made plans to meet after the holidays were over.
The snow that had been threatening to actually blanket the city seemed to have finally caught up with the weatherman’s predictions when I left the restaurant. The roads weren’t too bad, but the salt trucks were definitely going to be working overtime through the night. I made it to Elly’s apartment without incident, but I did slide a couple of times—I was kind of glad that I wouldn’t be leaving until morning.
“It took you long enough…” Elly opened her door, wearing a beautiful smile on her face—and nothing else.
“Oh my god!” I walked into her apartment and pulled the door closed. “You’re lucky none of your neighbors were in the hallway!”
“I looked before I opened the door…” She grinned and stepped into my arms.
“I thought you were going to give me something to unwrap.” I exhaled sharply and ran my fingers along her gorgeous curves.
“I am.” She looked up at me and bit down on her bottom lip. “But I thought you might like to watch me wrap it first…”
“I’m not sure you’re going to get a chance to do that.” I started kissing her neck.
“But it’s your Christmas present…” She exhaled sharply. “Well, your second one.”
“You’re the best Christmas present I’ve ever gotten.” I slid my hands down to her ass and squeezed.
I plan to spend the rest of my life, showing you how happy I am that you’re mine…
Elly never got a chance to put on the lingerie that she bought. It would have to wait for another night. We made love until we were exhausted, and when the sun peeked through the clouds, I still wasn’t ready to let her go. I would have prayed for a miracle if I thought that there was one that could keep me there in her bed. I finally threw the covers off and walked to the kitchen to make some coffee while she slept until it was time for her to get up for work. My drowsy eyes could barely focus on my phone when I reached for it, but when I saw what was on the screen, I snapped wide awake.
“Hey Elly…” I walked into the bedroom and walked to the window.
“What?” She blinked a couple of times and rubbed her eyes. “Don’t open the window, it’s too early.”
“No, come over here. You need to see this.” I motioned to her.
“This is not how I wanted to wake up.” She groggily got out bed and walked to where I was standing.
“I think you’ll be fine when you see what’s out here.” I pointed towards the window.
“Uh…” She leaned forward. “Oh my god! That’s a lot of snow!”
“According to this…” I held up my phone. “We got a blizzard last night. I guess the weatherman was right when he said we might get a lot of snow.”
“I can’t believe we slept through it!” Elly blinked in surprise. “Wait, I wonder if the office is closed…”
“I don’t think anyone is going outside in that. I messaged my secretary to let everyone know that Alexander Software wasn’t opening today.” I shook my head back and forth. “My parents were supposed to fly in this afternoon, and I got a message from them. Their flight has been delayed until tomorrow.”
“The office is closed!” Elly picked up her phone and smiled when she saw that she had a message similar to the one that my team would be getting.
“It looks like we’re going to get to spend the entire day together.” I walked up behind her and put my hands on her hips.
“We might lose power. The last time we had a blizzard, it was out for two days.” She turned towards me and smiled. “Do you think you can keep me warm?”
“I know I can.” I pulled her into my arms and pressed my lips to her ear. “Ready to pick up where we left off when we passed out last night?”
“I don’t think we left off…” She laughed under her breath. “That means we have to start all over again.”
“Maybe we can make this one of our annual Christmas traditions.” I pushed her back towards the bed. “Take the day before Christmas Eve off work and spend it in bed.”
“I like the sound of that.” Elly grinned as I slid into bed and started kissing her. “Are you sure that you won’t get tired of me before next Christmas?”
