Christmas magic is in the air. So is my truck. Because some insane driver has driven me off the road and I’ve jumped the curb. Just great.

Where only I can lay eyes on those soft tender curves. But I can’t move. I’ve never ...

Snarling, growling, charging for the surface. He wants our mate badly, but I’m too busy trying to secure the coveted position to do anything about it. I didn’t realize he was so close to turning.
