“I want to lose my virginity,” she says. “And I want it to be with you.”
My best friend says this after one night of youthful troublemaking and a bottle of stolen vodka. She says that but I still remember those baths we used to take together. I remember showing off our first whiskers of body hair.
“I want it to be with someone I trust. Someone I care ’bout. That’s you.” Her hot whisper tickles my ear and I squirm. But I can’t ignore the slur to her words, the sluggish grind of her body on top of mine.
“Okay, okay.” I swallow. “Not tonight. When we’re sober.”
“Promise?” She smiles against my neck.
“Promise.”
And that’s how I got roped into taking my best friend’s virginity. I can make good on that promise. She doesn’t need to know that I’m in love with her. A harmless rite of passage, something between two people who’ve known each other their whole lives, no big deal…right?

It’s Christmas, which means screaming kids, carols on repeat, and angry impatient parents giving me the evil eye. Every year I think this part-time gig as Santa’s helper will fill me with Christmas cheer and every year I’m left at Santa’s altar while he’s off drinking himself into a stupor. It’s time I gave up and quit this nonsense already. But then the latest Santa rent-a-drunk—Luke—turns out not to be a drunk at all. In fact, he’s a hunky hottie that has me drooling and falling all over myself. I may not get filled with Christmas cheer this year, but maybe I can get this sexy Santa to stuff my stocking…
