Merry, bright, and ready to go all night...

Merry Lights

With a name like mine everyone assumes Christmas is my favorite time of year. 

Truth is, being the owner of Blizzard Bluff's most popular bakery, this is my busy season and if it doesn't go well, I won't have anything to live off of for the remaining eleven months of the year. I'm closest to my coworkers, since I spend the most time with them. 

But there's one I can't get out of my head; Beckett. A construction worker by trade, he's using his winter break to save money for a new home. 

When a blizzard surprises the town, and I'm stuck at the shop with the hottest baker I've ever worked with. Over the course of twenty-four hours, he teaches me things about my body I never knew. As the plows go through to clear the streets, I hope it doesn't end.

The Blizzard Bluff Series

I haven't slept all night. I'm afraid if I do, what happened will have all been a dream. Instead, I've stared at her since she fell asleep. My arms tighten around her waist, pulling her closer to me. I don't know what this day will bring us, but I know I want to spend as much of it with her as I can. 


Inhaling deeply, she melts closer. "Was last night a dream?"


"Funny, I wondered the same thing," I drop a kiss to her neck. "Any chance we can have a round two before we get started on whatever it is we have to do today?"


"We need to go start our vehicles, just to make sure the batteries haven't died," I remind her. "It'll do us some good to go outside too."


She groans. "You're right, that's the responsible thing to do."


We get up and get dressed. She puts on a red lip-stain, shrugging when I make a comment about it. 


"I always like to look slightly put together, no matter what it is I've done the night before."
