The corner of my lips curves up. “You don’t say?”
He gives me a curious look. “What does that mean?”
“It means I’ve had that feeling for a while too. But I don’t know if he’ll ever do a thing about it. Since he’s her brother’s best friend and all.”
Max drags a hand through his hair, like all this romance stuff is too complicated. “Sometimes you just have to screw all that stuff and go after what you want.”
“True,” I say.
He runs a hand down my back, sending shivers through my whole body. “Because it’s worth it.”
I smile. “Yes, it is,” I say, as we head to the bar.
We quickly find Sophie and her date.
Lucas.
After a warm hello, Max clears his throat and says to my former physical therapist, “I need to apologize for my behavior when we first met?—”
Lucas waves him off. “No need. That date played out perfectly.” Then he kisses Sophie’s cheek.
Sophie looks at him with genuine affection and says, “It sure did.”
We join the new couple for a drink.
After, we head to our room. When the door closes, shutting out the world, Max picks me up and carries me to the king-size bed. He sets me down and holds my face, his eyes filled with both a love and lust that I hope never ends, especially when he says, “And now I’m going to undress my future wife and kiss her everywhere all night long.”
I run a hand along his arm. “Get to it, future husband.”
And he does.

EXCERPT - MY FAVORITE HOLIDATE
Wilder
She grabs the wreath from the bag and hangs it on the hook. It’s made with burlap and colorful ribbons. She adjusts it so Santa’s ass, stuck in a chimney, is sticking out of my door.
But I’m still stuck on the last thing she said. “You madethis?For the contest?”
She gives me a soft smile. “Yes. Well, it’s really for you,” she says, a flash of nervousness in her eyes, but hope too. “I wanted your office to look the best. And you’ve been so generous with your gifts. The least I could do was make you something from scratch.”
I stare at the wreath, even more astonished. “This is incredible.”
“You think so?” she asks, beaming.
“I do.” I roam my eyes up and down the door, then turn my gaze to my designer. The woman who enjoys making homemade items. The woman who went all out for me. The woman I can’t stop thinking about. Decorating might not be my thing, but I could decorate all daywith her. “It’s not fine,” I say, correcting my earlier statement. “It’s the finest.”
