It was past ten in the morning and I was still lazily sprawled on top of my bed—or should I say, lifetime partner. It was Christmas Eve, accurately three days after the whole fiasco at the strippers' bar and approximately three days before the Winter Ball.

Bar nestled comfortably right beside me after spending his nights at Christian's suite. Nights without him was dull, and dry. Not morning wet patches or lickings.

My eyes snapped open in a flash,
blistering barnacles! What in the devil's hell is he doing here?
