found him attractive, and that made him smile. At least she’d stopped arguing and climbed in the sleigh.
    That’s progress.
    As much as Nick had wanted her, he’d never thought it possible she could be one of his fated mates because she was an ordinary mortal . And yet he’d given up on ever finding another woman to replace Lilly in his heart. For so long had he craved Lilly, it had caused some friction between him and Kris over the years.
    Kris had adored Lilly too, but he had a less intense nature than Nick. In spite of, or perhaps because of his upbringing in the orphanage Kris was a lot more easy-going than his lover. Nick knew that even though Kris was bi, he’d endured a ton of teasing about some of his gay mannerisms within those institutional walls. Instead of letting resentment eat away at him, though, he’d learned to master his emotions. He could take a joke at his expense or let a rejection slide off his back. When Nick brooded over Lilly, Kris tried to jolly him out of it with limited success.
    Now Nick’s mind flooded with confusion. Lilly had seen the sleigh, and therefore, some part of her was fae. She possessed fairy blood. This meant she could be his fated mate and also Kris’s. She might be their third, made for the two of them to share in a traditional sylph ménage. No wonder he’d been unable to forget her. Images of the three of them together sharing an ecstatic union filled his mind. But Lilly wasn’t eighteen anymore. She was twenty-eight. Clearly, she was stronger and could stand up to him and Kris now. Where once she’d been too timid and innocent, she would now be the perfect balance to tame his temper and help Kris deal with his feelings.
    He watched her check inside her handbag and make sure her cell phone and wallet and makeup were still there, and chuckled to himself. All females seemed to have a strong attachment to their handbags, whether mortal or fae.
    “Everything’s still here, except my money, of course. Sonya, Kandy and Bambi must have taken it.” She bit her lip. “Damn! I needed that money!”
    Rage flared in his chest. “They stole your money as well?”
    She blushed. “Never mind. There’s more where that came from. Wow! It’s nice and warm in here. How can an open sleigh be heated up like this? It’s magical.”
    Nick knew she was deflecting and suspected she just wanted to get off the subject of stripping. He let it slide and quirked an eyebrow at her silly statement. “Of course it’s magical.”
    When Lilly looked at him and laughed, his heart rate shot up. Her laughter sounded like wind chimes in a rainstorm, exactly as he remembered it. Exactly the way it had rung in his memory all the years he’d been missing her.
    Her hair looked fantastic, glittering red-gold even in moonlight. For a moment, his mind flashed back to when he was nineteen years old and that silky hair had drifted over his body as her mouth moved down on him. Nick took a deep breath, his erection fierce. As much as he wanted her right now, he needed to shelve his lecherous thoughts. She wasn’t ready for the need she stirred inside him. Nick removed his red Santa coat, since the magic in the sleigh meant he didn’t require it. Lilly following his lead wriggled out of Kris’s coat that she had been wearing. Both men removed their boots.
    Kris up the sleeves of his white shirt showing more of his perennial golden tan. Judging by the way Lilly watched his blonde lover, she wanted him too. He loved the thought that she was attracted to both of them. He imagined her lying on her back, bra off, the rosy nipples of her large breasts erect and tight, Kris’s golden head bending down to suck on one.
    “So does this thing actually fly? This sleigh?” She smiled at him innocently, unaware his cock strained against the confines of his Santa pants.
    Nick managed a nod. “Is that going to frighten you? Because I know you’ve been through a lot today.”
    She looked down at her lap and played
