“I wouldn’t want to be a third wheel…” #MFRWHooks #HolidayStory #EroticRomance #LGBTQIA+

All my prior published holiday stories are half off at Extasy Books, now through December 31. Today I’m featuring The Gift Echange, an erotic romance menage holiday story.

BLURB

It’s Christmas Eve—what gifts will Mack, Carol and Tara unwrap together?

What is Carol up to now? Mack has always known his free-spirited wife is bisexual, but it seems she has new adventures on her mind this Christmas season.

Carol has long entertained fantasies of a threesome with herself, her husband, and their attractive nearby neighbor, Tara. Now that Tara’s troublesome ex is out of the picture, is this the season to make Carol’s fantasies come true?

Tara’s felt a little deprived since breaking things off with her ex, and she’ll admit she envies what Mack and her best friend Carol seem to share. If they invite her to join them, will she dare?

EXCERPT

“Cocoa and marshmallows are heavenly after snowshoeing,” Carol said, wrapping her fingers around the hot mug Tara had set on the kitchen table for her. She took another sip and watched Tara inhale the steam of her mug deeply. This was the moment. She couldn’t tell which she wanted more—to watch Mack respond as Tara pleasured him, or to give him the gift of watching her and Tara play together. Both, she decided. Would her fantasies come true?

“You are so right,” Tara responded. “It’s been a grand morning. The air was crisp, but not too cold. And the snow was just right. The snowshoes didn’t sink so deep that we had to work hard.” Tara brushed fingers through her long reddish locks. “Sometimes it felt like we were walking right on top of the snow.”

“Yeah, felt like we were on top of the world. So exhilarating. Not many experiences top that.” She gave Tara a knowing smile.

“Right. Don’t get yourself worked up. You know I have to head into town for an appointment. We only have twenty minutes before I have to leave.”

“I know. I know. Sipping cocoa with you will have to tide me over.” Carol grinned broadly. “I wish we had all day to play.”

“Me, too. But when I get back I’m going to really have to buckle down on my writing. I have an editing deadline just before Christmas. I’ll never accept another deadline like that again—there’s hardly time to think about Christmas. It’s not like I’m going anywhere, but I do so much enjoy the season. When there’s time.”

“Speaking of Christmas…not sure how much we’ll see you before, but Mack and I want you to join us for Christmas Eve.”

“Really?” Tara’s eyes misted. “But I know that’s such a special time for you guys. You’ve told me every year how you celebrate Christmas.” She arched an eyebrow. “Capping it off in bed, if I recall correctly.”

“The Night before Christmas story takes place in bed, right?”

Tara broke up laughing. “Yes, but I believe your night before Christmas is a bit more erotic. I don’t think there’s room for me.”

“Nonsense. We don’t want you to be alone. We’ll have our own little party. We can finish decorating the tree, exchange some gifts, and share a toast or two with eggnog…maybe even play some reindeer games.”

“That sounds like fun. But I wouldn’t want to be a third wheel.”

“You won’t be.”
