Bound by Tinsel (9 page)
“You told me two, and I’m going to help with the travel one. But what was the third?”
She sniffled and tried to pull away, but he kept her wrapped in his arms. The tinsel tickled her skin where it was exposed and she kissed his nipple.
“Tell me.”
“I don’t want to…”
“Tell me, please.”
“It was about love,” she let the words spill out. “I wanted to find someone to love, something I never thought would happen. Not that I think you have to love me. But I…”
He lifted her chin and kissed her, then gathered her close in his arms. “I like that idea, too, but no more phone sex, unless it’s with me.
Deal?”
“Deal.”
She thought she should probably tell him
she’d
pretty much made that decision. “What about your friends?”
“I already told them they had to find someone else. We can go to the party and watch. It’ll be great fun.”
They both laughed. “But first, I’m going to take you upstairs and
unwrap
you. Then I plan on keeping you chained to the bed all night long.”
“That sounds perfect, as long as you’re there with me.”
“Sweetheart, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.” He stood and helped her up and out of her panties, then led her toward the stairs. He had said she was his
most perfect
present, and right now, she totally agreed with him, in the reverse.
She’d
never had a more perfect gift, and she didn’t plan to ever return it.

towers,
and explore new cities and countries. She generally does it all from the comfort of her home by opening a book.

heroines

the first female head of the English department at the university. But that

The holiday season is a time for joy, but Laney Taylor
couldn’t
be more depressed.
She’s
selling the last piece of her grandmother’s exquisite antique china to feed the hordes of ‘new’ homeless living in their cars in an abandoned parking lot on the outskirts of town. But on the way to the shop, an accident lands her in the hospital—and into the arms of the two hot, hunky Samaritans who saved her life.
Josh Goldman and Zach Brenner share a successful construction business, and a secret longing. They
can’t
believe their good fortune when they save Laney Taylor from a freezing to death. Both men have desired Laney since high school, and made a pact that if they ever had the chance to have a relationship with the sexy, full-figured woman of their dreams, they
wouldn’t
mind sharing.
When a winter storm gives Josh and Zach an opportunity to share the pleasures of the ‘festival of lights’ with Laney, and a chance to fulfill their long-held erotic fantasies, they can hardly believe the good fortune the Hanukkah holiday has brought them. While fate and circumstance may require their eventual separation, all three are determined that they will not waste a moment of their…
