Page 19 of A Little Christmas! 4: Song

“The last time they claimed we were only getting a few inches, we found ourselves in whiteout conditions as a blizzard swept through.”

“True, but entirely unlikely to happen again.”

“Unlikely, but not impossible.”

“If it turns out I’m wrong, you can whisper‘I told you so’in my ear as you warm me up.”

“What makes you think I’d let you anywhere near me with popsicle fingers?” Cooper huffed.

“’Cause[TM3] you know I’ll think of some wicked ways to make it up to you?”

“Uh-huh, sure, sounds to me like you’re already planning ways to steal my body heat.”

“And?”

“You suck.”

“That can be on the menu too.”

“I hate you so hard right now.”

“No, you don’t,” Gage teased, gliding his fingers over the front of Cooper’s pants. “Semi-hard, maybe, but I can fix that too.”

Cooper smacked a hand to his face, grumbling as Gage stroked him more, until the disgruntled sounds that spilled from his lips morphed into low, pleasure-filled moans.

“Now you can hate me as hard as you want to,” Gage teased, beginning to ease his hands away.

“You enjoy tormenting me, don’t you?”

“It’s become one of my favorite pastimes.”

“No shit.”

Gage chuckled at that, then his expression turned serious. Cooper knew that look. There was something important that Gage wanted to discuss with him, and he was working out the best way to phrase it.

“You might as well just spit it out,” Cooper encouraged. “I know that look. What’s gnawing at you?”

“Song,” Gage blurted, and heaved a heavy sigh. “I just…”

“You’re attached already,” Cooper finished for him.

“Yeah.”

“So is Zachy.”

“You see it too?”

“Hard to miss,” Cooper replied. “So, what’s the problem?”

“You.”

“Huh?”

“Just wondering what your thoughts are when it comes to him?” Gage asked. “You’ve said very little. It won’t work if we don’t all share the same connection, and you’ve been a bit aloof when it comes to him.”
