The thought of Felix reading is really hot, actually. The thought of Felix merely standing still is hot too, but that’s beside the point.
“I usually read ebooks, but sometimes I enjoy the warm perfume of a well-aged library book.” Leave it to him to make reading sound sensual.
“What genres do you enjoy?”
“Usually science fiction, dystopian novels, sometimes nonfiction.” I’m out from behind my desk now, and Felix leans in next to my ear to whisper, “Ever read monster erotica? That’s some wild stuff.”
I have, in fact, sampled it, but I don’t dare admit it right now.
“Want to follow me? I’ll show you some things.”
“Will you?” Jasper murmurs suggestively, as he and Felix let me lead them out of the office.
I take them around to the appropriate aisles and suggest some of my favorite books and some I’ve heard a lot of good things about.
“How about you?” I ask Jasper. “Do you like to read, too?” When he nods, I inquire about what types of books he likes, and he says, “Same as Felix, with double the monster erotica.”
He’s teasing—I think—and I cover my mouth to stifle a laugh.
Each of them selects a couple of titles, so I lead them toward the checkout desk, but they have other ideas. As we’re passing the row of study rooms, Jasper pulls me into one, closes the door, then the two of them surround me.
“What are you doing?”
“This is a study space, right?” Jasper asks. When I nod, he says, “We’re here to study the sexy librarian.”
Their fingers and mouths are on me already, making my head fuzzy. “But … people can see us.” One wall of the space is a huge glass window; the study rooms only offer quiet, not privacy. But they’ve huddled me into the front corner, where there’s a little cover, and their bodies are shielding me from view.
“I can’t get caught fooling around in here,” I tell them.
Felix pulls his mouth away from mine long enough to give me a devilish look. “Oh, you want to fool around?”
They’re both kissing me while their hands are doing some of the studying they promised. One of them slides a hand over my bottom, while the other teases fingers under my blouse.
“We can’t do this here.”
Jasper kisses my neck. “You let us know when and where. We’ll be ready.”
Oh, I’m so ready, too. Obviously not here, and not this moment, but I’m not sure how much longer I can hold out.
The sweet relief I felt from the orgasm the Frost brothers gave me last night didn’t last long.
The Frost brothers. I feel so guilty thinking about them right now, while the Winter brothers are making me feel things. I’m not cut out for dating multiple men. Two together is fine—wonderful, actually. Two pairs separately is some kind of exquisite torture.
After a few more kisses, Jasper and Felix pull away, then open the door, leaving me leaning against the wall, dazed.
“We’ll check ourselves out,” Felix says. “See you at the park on Saturday.”
After long parting glances, they’re gone. I want to run after them, but I hold myself back.
Chapter 20
When I arrive at the park Saturday morning, I hear the argument before I see it, and I don’t know whether I want to run over and try to diffuse things, or if I’d rather turn and leave.
They’re not actually arguing about me. They’re yanking one of the Santa costumes back and forth between them.
Nick says it’s his and Rudy’s turn this week. Jasper says he made a better Santa than they did. Felix reminds them that he hasn’t even had a turn yet.
I have no idea how to improve the tension between the Frost and Winter brothers. Making a decision on who I want to ultimately date might not even help. Maybe they’d stop arguing, but one pair will likely be hurt by my decision.
At least there’s only one more day of volunteering left after today.
“And another thing,” Felix says as he spots me approaching. “Jasper and I are better matches for Mrs. Claus.”
Chest puffed, Nick gets in Felix’s face. “What in the world gives you that idea?”
Rudy’s eyes dart to me before he narrows them at Felix and Jasper. “You don’t have an exclusive claim on … being Santa.”
“Don’t think you have some special entitlement, either,” Jasper says.
“Holly, who do you think makes a better Santa?” Felix asks.
“This has nothing to do with me,” I say, waving off the question, even though the subtext of their conflict is clear as day. “I really wish you wouldn’t argue.”
They grumble a bit more, but I try to ignore it as I help Lisa set things up. I’d been thinking of inviting all four men over to my house together, because maybe being with all of them in a casual setting would help me decide about my feelings, but that idea would never work. They’re barely getting along, and it’s getting worse instead of better.
