Hunky Nathan Bloom works late for the company putting up the
town Christmas lights and decorations.
Gorgeous, enigmatic, Jamie Snow works late forecasting the
weather from his desk in the meteorology office.
Nathan sighs over the prospect of a holiday season with no
one to love.
Jamie wonders if he’ll ever find a man to love who will
accept his mysterious origins and talents.
One cold night, as Nathan finishes hoisting the wreath
lights up the building where Jamie works, they meet.
The brilliant festive lights aren’t the only things to
sparkle as the two men connect on a deep level.
He surveyed the balance of bulbs that would pour silvery-white
light down the walls on the second weekend in December.
“Looks good to me.” The man from the balcony had approached.
He stood so close that the light fresh scent of his cologne filled Nathan’s
head as a cool breeze drifted his way.
He smells delicious.
Nathan turned carefully. Face to face, he gazed into the eyes of the man he’d
seen on the balcony. Holy smoke, he is
gorgeous. “Yeah, they’re good.” Nathan didn’t know what else to say.
Instead, he soaked up the sight before him as the man smiled, and, to Nathan’s
delight, shot beams of attraction at him.
A colder wind suddenly whirled along the street. It brought
a fast food wrapper that flattened against Nathan’s calf. He gazed into the sky
as icy rain pattered down. Shivers ran along his body. He rubbed his arms as he
returned to gaze into the man’s eyes.
“Looks as if the weather’s turned—sudden, though, huh?” Nathan
couldn’t tear his gaze away from the man’s perfect mouth. Hell, what would it be like to kiss him? He wondered how to keep
the man talking just a few more moments even though huge raindrops splattered
on his shirt. “I heard it might be a white Christmas.”
“Oh, it will be a
white Christmas.”
A smile spread on Nathan’s lips. “How do you know?”
The man’s expression filled with kindness. “I’m a
meteorologist and people like white Christmases, don’t they?”
The explanation had a ring of strangeness and Nathan
wondered for a second if this man thought he could conjure a white Christmas. “I
guess so, providing they’re not inconvenienced—providing they can drive to the
comfort of a warm home and someone who loves them.” The words tumbled from
lonely Nathan under the interested gaze of the handsome man.
“Do you have that—a warm home and someone who loves you?”
Nathan stared at him. He wanted
to answer despite growing colder as the freezing rain trickled down his shirt
collar. “Home, yes, lover no.”
Huge raindrops sparkled in the man’s dark hair under the
streetlight like rainbow jewels. He held Nathan’s gaze with his own.
Nathan read hope there. Is
he interested in me?
“I should leave. I’ve probably missed a train and will have
to wait half an hour on a cold windy platform. You’re getting wet. Your jacket’s in the cab.”
The meteorologist flashed his lovely eyes at Nathan in a
look that sent desire streaming along his body adding more goosebumps to those
brought on by the icy rain.
He’s gay. Wow. It
had been so long since a man flirted with Nathan, he couldn’t believe it was
happening. “I could drop you somewhere.” He took the chance. I need to show him I’m interested.
“It might take you out of your way.” The guy’s expression
radiated attraction.
He’s only being polite.
He wants to accept. Nathan shook his head. “I’ve got nowhere to be. I need
to load the little winder, secure the platform, and park the truck around the
back of the store at the top of the street, but I can give you a ride then. Hell, I’d do it if you lived in Alaska. My
car is parked up there. Hop in the cab.” Nathan strode to the passenger side
door of the truck and opened it.
The man passed close to climb in. He gave Nathan a smile
laden with promise.
Nathan allowed himself to enjoy the proximity of the hot guy,
then he smiled, too, as he ran around to the driver side, and pulled on his jacket.
