my brother back there said that all the fairy tale creatures know each other, and so I was figuring maybe you could get a message to an angel? To deliver to my parents in heaven?”
“I feel like I should get a pass this year, what with becoming an orphan and all.”
“I like her,” Sophie declares, hands on her hips. “You need to be nice to her,” she admonishes me. “Otherwise she won’t braid my hair anymore, and lord knows you’re fucking hopeless.”
… I’m melting into a puddle of goo at the sight of this big, gruff man doing deep breathing exercises where he pretends to blow on hot cocoa with his six-year-old little sister. There’s something inexplicably hot about a guy taking care of a little kid. Bonus points if said guy is already hot on his own. And discovering this gooey center inside his crusty exterior?
When she lets out a soft groan of satisfaction, I jerk, my dick lengthening and hardening in my pants. Christ on a cracker. The last thing I need is a hard-on while I watch Frozen with my baby sister.
Grinning, I face the screen, realizing that I’m feeling happier and lighter right now than I have in … a really long time.
“You want me to be happy.” I nod once. “Yes.” And then he kisses me.
She just wants to make me happy, she said. And I thought, kissing her would make me happy. So I just … did it.
“I’d just like to remind you that you kissed me. So maybe you should go home and give this speech to your mirror, alright?”
Of course he’s fucking sorry. Motherfucker’s sorry about everything.
His eyes narrow, and his jaw flexes like he’s grinding his teeth. Then his hand cups my cheek, and he brings his mouth to mine. Again.
She’s fun and easy to be around, she makes me laugh, she makes me … happy. In ways I didn’t think possible for me.
Good grief. And now I sound like Lucy from Charlie Brown. I’ve watched A Charlie Brown Christmas too many times, I guess.
Having a big heart means you can get hurt easily. But sometimes it’s worth risking the hurt to get to experience the joy.”
