The CEO’s Christmas Proposition
by Merline Lovelace

Cal stood by the sitting room windows, taking in the frozen cityscape…

Devon’s breath caught as she went to stand beside him. Buildings, trees, the statues on the bridge, the river itself…everything as far as the eye could see lay under a blanket of glistening white. Not a single car or bus or snowplough moved through the frozen stillness.

“Looks like most of the city must be shut down,” Devon murmured, awestruck.

“Guess we’ll have to resort to plan B,” said Cal.

“We talk politics. We try to guess each other’s favourite movies. We wrap up in blankets and share our body heat. We have wild, uninhibited sex.”

Her jaw dropped.

“We don’t have to follow that precise order,” he informed her solemnly. “We could start with the sex and work our way backwards.”

She fidgeted, trying to ignore the warmth of him moving closer. She could not, would not let hormones muddle the waters between them. “What’s that?”

“If you took a pregnancy test this morning, why didn’t you tell me before the final divorce decree?”
