If You Give a Grump a Holiday Wishlist (Aspen Grove #0.5)

by Ann Einerson

Things are about to get interesting.

“You have a thing for staring at me, don’t you?” she says softly. “Can you blame me when you’re so goddamn beautiful?” “You really shouldn’t say things like that to me.” “Why the hell not?” I challenge. “Because you’re my boss,” she reminds me with a hint of that sass I love so much.

Even first thing in the morning, she’s still the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.

“You make me feel things I’ve never experienced before.” I keep my voice low and steady. “If you haven’t noticed, I’m insanely attracted to you, and now that I’ve felt your mouth on mine, I’m consumed with thoughts of kissing you again.”

“You’re so damn beautiful, it’s messing with my head,” I utter quietly. “Tell me you’re not attracted to me, and I’ll stop. Say the word, Presley, and I’ll walk away.”

God, I can’t believe Presley belongs to me. She has me completely under her spell, and I’ll spend the rest of my life devoted to filling her life with happiness and joy.
