Christmas Eve was a busy day for Will, Paul, Ari, and the rest of their families. Will didn't plan on going to the annual Horton family tree trimming. Instead, Will, Paul, and Ari went around passing out the presents they had.
The three visited Jennifer, JJ, and a morose Abigail. They stopped off at the police station to visit Roman, Hope, and Rafe. Ari even gave Justin a small Christmas card she had made herself.
Will felt pleased to note that Justin at least looked touched.
From the police station they visited the hospital. They spent a few minutes chatting with Kayla as well as Steve and Joey. Will spent a long time talking with his grandma Caroline. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be much of an improvement with her.
Saddened after that, they rushed to the post office. They mailed out some last minute cards to relatives and some of Paul's friends and former teammates.
Lastly, they stopped off at the Salem Chronicle office. Ari gave homemade Christmas cards to all her little friends at daycare as well as the teachers. Will stopped for a visit with his boss, Charlotte Murphy.
Charlotte understood that Will need longer to recuperate. Will informed her that he was considering writing a detailed article about his experience.
With that brightening her day, Charlotte wished Will and his family a very happy holiday.
Arriving back at the condo, Will rushed to put Ari down for a late nap.
"Hey," Paul greeted Sami and the kids.
They were all in the kitchen baking Christmas cookies.
"How did it go?" Sami wondered.
"Good," Paul revealed. "Will had a tough time seeing Caroline but we knew he would."
Sami sighed. She wished she could take her other kids to see Caroline. It was risky though.
Chad promised Sami that Stefano would be spending the next few days out of town on a business trip. Sami was still cautious. She knew Stefano. Sami wasn't going to risk Johnny and Sydney's safety for anything.
"Where's my mom?" Paul questioned.
When they left the house Tori said she would be fine left alone for a few hours. She understood that people get busy during this time of year.
"She left about an hour ago," Sami told Paul. "She said she had some things to take care of."
"OK," Paul said. He wondered what that was all about.
Paul looked over the sugar cookie dough that the kids were making.
"Oh, hey," Paul realized. "I have some cookie cutters somewhere."
Paul searched through the large pantry off the side of the kitchen. He knew he had seen them when he moved in.
'Where did I put them?' Paul bit the side of his cheek. 'Aha!'
Paul found the box and set it on the island counter.
"Baseball," Johnny yelled seeing the cutters.
All Paul's cookie cutters were baseball themed.
"Yeah," Paul shrugged. "I'm kind of obsessed."
"Will used to take me to games," Johnny quickly replied. "And we would play in the backyard at the mansion together. He bought me a bat for Christmas and he taught me how to swing."
Johnny blinked owlishly at Paul. A cute little blush spread across his cheeks once he realized who he was talking to.
"I used to play catch with my grandfather," Paul said. He pretended he didn't notice Johnny clamming up. "I wish I could play with my dad or a brother. That would have been cool."
"You could play now," Allie inputted. "With Grandpa John and Uncle Brady. You could."
"We all play," Sydney suggested with a toothy grin.
"Yeah," Sami nodded. "I'd say there are enough of us for a baseball team at this point."
Paul ducked his head, grinning.
After dinner that night, everyone relaxed on the sofas. The kids were extremely excited for Christmas to come.
"Daddy, I get presents now?" Ari questioned for the hundredth time.
"No, baby girl," Will reminded her. "Santa has to wait for you to go to sleep to bring your presents."
"But how Santa know be here?" Ari pressed. She felt concerned. "I no live here all time. Santa go to wrong house?"
"Nope," Will explained. "Santa will know to come here."
"OK," Ari nodded. "But how Santa come chimney? Lots of chimney's here."
Sami, listening in, rummaged around for a bag she had laid out earlier that day.
"I know how Santa will know to come here," Sami said to all the children. She shook the small Ziploc baggie in her hand. "Magic reindeer food."
"Is magic?" Ari gasped.
"Yep," Sami nodded. "If we sprinkle the reindeer food on the balcony than the reindeer will know to come to this condo."
"Yay," Ari scrambled off the couch.
Johnny, Allie, and Sydney followed to the balcony door. Sami sprinkled the bag onto the floor. It was nothing more than oatmeal and colored sugar crystals.
"Daddy, Paul," Ari yelled. She ran back inside. "The reindeer will eat the food and bring me presents."
"But only if you're asleep," Tori said. She sat beside Paul.
"I need go sleep," Ari replied, panicked.
"It's only 6," Will laughed. "When it's bedtime you have to make sure you're nice and snug in bed. Right?"
"Right," Ari nodded.
The rest of their Christmas Eve was spent in their pajamas watching Christmas movies on TV. After reading a few Christmas stories it was time for bed. The kids were all too nervous about the possibility of Santa not coming to fight it.
After being sure that everyone was asleep, Will pulled out all the toys he still needed to wrap. He couldn't exactly wrap them when he was constantly surrounded by children.
Paul made sure his mother was well situated in her guest room. Sami, meanwhile, decided to sneak off to the hospital to see Caroline.
Paul came into the dining room to see Will surrounded by toys and wrapping paper.
"You're pretty good at this wrapping thing," Paul noticed.
Will shrugged and pulled off a piece of tape.
"I've wrapped most of the presents my whole life," Will admitted.
Seeing Paul's quizzical expression, Will explained further.
"My mom always had her own thing going on," Will continued. "My dad usually did too. If we needed to give out presents I had to do it myself. I'd pick them out, wrap them, the works."
"What about Kate or Marlena?" Paul wondered. He still had a hard time understanding Will's upbringing.
"They were always there for me but they were busy too," Will confessed. "They were going from man to man and getting involved in whatever new chaos. I didn't really have that stable of a childhood. Just about the only person consistently there for me was my grandma Caroline."
Paul sadly shook his head.
"What?" Will asked.
"Just another mystery solved in the curious case of Will Horton," Paul revealed.
Paul sat down next to Will at the table. He thought back to this time around last year.
"Huh," Paul said. "Did you realize that we've known each other for over a year now?"
"Wow, puddin' pop," Will smiled. Teasingly, he said, "And you've tolerated me for about half that time."
"Ditto, baby," Paul pushed Will lightly.
"What about you?" Will changed the subject. "What was Christmas like with you and your mom?"
"Normal," Paul shrugged. "That pretty much sums up my whole upbringing. I got toys. We made cookies. I spent time with my grandpa in the snow.
"My mom did a good job trying to make up for not having my dad around," Paul continued.
"This year you have both parents around," Will smiled.
"Yeah," Paul grinned. "I never imagined that."
Will finished making a bow and taped it to the box. He made out a gift tag for Sydney.
"I've got a few other things I never pictured either," Paul touched the top of Will's hand. "I never thought I'd have a boyfriend to show off to my family. Or a house full of children, Ari in particular."
"I've had that stuff before," Will looked into Paul's eyes. "But this Christmas time is still different. I don't know what it is but it's special."
"Good," Paul commented. "It's special to me too."
Paul helped Will finish wrapping the last of the presents. They stuck them under the tree.
Seeing the milk and cookies the kids left out for Santa, Paul and Will ate them. Will sprinkled a few crumbs on the plate. Paul made sure to leave a small amount of milk in the glass.
"Look," Paul pointed towards the ceiling. "Mistletoe."
"There isn't mistletoe," Will remarked.
"Just shut up and kiss me," Paul huffed.
Will smiled before obliging.
In the glow of the tree, Will wrapped his arms around Paul's neck. Paul grasped Will's waist, holding firmly. As their mouths opened and their tongues touched, they moved closer together.
Will moaned when Paul's hands moved to squeeze his butt.
Will's fingers dug into the base of Paul's skull. He angled Paul's head exactly where he wanted him. With his other hand, Will rubbed against Paul's groin.
"Oh, gross," Sami declared after opening the front door.
Will and Paul stepped away quickly, breathing heavily.
"Don't you have a bedroom?" Sami shook her head. She tossed her coat in the closet nearby.
"We do," Paul answered. He made sure to stand behind Will. He didn't need Sami seeing how into that make out session he was.
"Uh huh," Sami rolled her eyes. "You go do that. I need to talk to my son."
"Sorry," Will told Paul. "This won't take too long. I hope."
Once Paul left, Will and Sami went into the kitchen. Sami made them both a cup of hot chocolate.
"How was Grandma?" Will questioned.
"Sad," Sami sighed. "I wish things were different for her."
"Well," Will said. "She's had a long, fulfilling life."
"I know," Sami sat next to Will at the counter. She handed him a mug. "I just hate seeing her like this."
"Yeah," Will agreed.
"So," Will asked after a few moments. "What did you want to talk about?"
"I just wanted to spend a few moments with you," Sami admitted. "We haven't had much time together since we got to the condo."
"It's been busy," Will nodded. "So, despite your help, I think Tori might be warming up to me."
"I knew she would," Sami smiled. "You're a good kid."
"I'm good now," Will confessed. "Before not so much."
"You've always been great," Sami argued.
"You have to say that. You're my mom," Will shrugged. "But thank you."
"Of course," Sami finished her drink. "Now, come here."
Will and Sami both stood up to hug.
"I love you," Sami told Will. She pet against the back of his hair. "Thank you for having us with you."
"I love you too," Will promised. He squeezed his mom tight. "All of you."
"Good," Sami nodded. "Merry Christmas, Will."
Will headed into the bedroom. He assumed he would find Paul waiting for him in bed. Instead, Will could hear the shower running.
'Hmm, is that a cold or hot shower?' Will wondered.
Will found his answer when he opened the bathroom door and saw Paul. Through the glass shower door, Will could easily see Paul fisting his hard cock.
From the tiny whimpers Paul emitted, Will figured he had been at it for a while. Paul's eyes were closed. It didn't seem like he even noticed Will had come into the room.
With a smile, Will stripped.
Paul got into the shower with the intention to cool off. Once the warm water hit his skin though, that went to hell.
Before he knew it, Paul's eyes closed as he jerked himself off.
Paul pictured the night before with Will. The two of them in the jetted tub. They splashed so much water over the side of the tub with their vigorous lovemaking.
Paul was so into his reminiscing he didn't notice when the shower door opened or Will dropped to his knees.
Will smiled watching Paul work over his cock up close. Will recognized the twist to Paul's wrist, the hitch in his breathing. Paul was close.
Will crouched down low underneath Paul. He nuzzled in close, snaking his tongue out to flick against Paul's balls.
Paul opened his eyes, startling. Seeing Will on his knees, Paul groaned.
"Keep going," Will ordered.
Paul jerked his cock while Will tongued and sucked Paul's balls.
"God," Paul groaned. He leaned forward. One hand on the shower wall, the other on his cock.
Shortly after that, Paul came loudly. A thick stream of come landed against Will's back, marking him.
Paul admired Will. He enjoyed seeing his come painted across Will's back.
Will stood up slowly, leaning against Paul.
"Enjoy that?" Will hummed against Paul's lips.
"So much," Paul promised.
Paul wrapped his arms around Will. Without meaning to, Paul began rubbing in his semen against Will's skin. He purposely kept Will away from the shower's spray.
Will let Paul manhandle him until he was pressed against the shower wall.
"Love you," Paul mumbled. His hand sneaked out to grasp Will's cock.
"Love you too," Will's eyes rolled back into his head.
"Wake up, wake up," Ari bounced on Will and Paul's bed. "It's Christmas! Santa bring me presents!"
Startled, Will and Paul rubbed against their eyes, barely awake.
Ari plopped on top of Will.
"Merry Christmas, Daddy," Ari cheered. She threw her arms around Will's neck, giving him a sloppy kiss.
"Merry Christmas, baby girl," Will kissed the top of her head.
"Wake up," Ari prodded Paul. "I need presents!"
"I'm up," Paul sat up under the covers. "Let's go see what Santa brought you."
Almost an hour later, Ari, Johnny, Sydney, and Allie finally finished unwrapping their gifts. How they managed to accumulate so many presents Will would never know. It seemed like all of Salem brought them gifts.
Paul discovered where his mother disappeared to the day before. Tori went out to buy a small gift for each child. Sydney and Allie received a teddy bear. Johnny got a baseball hat. Ari, having warmed her way into Tori's heart, received a Baby Alive doll.
Will enjoyed seeing all the kids playing with their mountains of toys.
"This is going to be a pain to take back to LA," Sami commented with a shake of her head.
"We might need to ship it," Will agreed.
"We've got some presents to open too," Paul rubbed his hands together and grinned.
Paul passed out the few gifts they had for their mothers.
"I help?" Ari asked Sami.
"Sure," Sami handed the box to Ari.
Ari eagerly dug into the package, ripping off the paper and throwing it behind her.
"Oooh, pretty," Ari declared.
Ari handed the box to Sami. Inside contained a sparkly pair of high-heels.
"I had Grandma Kate pick them out," Will confessed.
"I love them. Thank you," Sami praised.
Sami got up and hugged Will tightly. She even surprised Paul by yanking him into an embrace.
"Now Paul's mommy grandma," Ari crawled through the mess of toys and paper to get to Tori. "I help?"
Tori gave Ari her present to open. Inside was a nice pearl necklace.
"…Kate helped with that one too," Paul reluctantly admitted.
"I'm not sure who that is," Tori replied. "But it's beautiful."
Tori hugged Paul, whispering a few phrases in Japanese into his ear.
Will smiled watching the pair. He didn't expect anything from Tori.
Instead of hugging Will, Tori handed him a box.
"This is for you," Tori said. She nervously tucked a few strands of dark hair behind her ears. "Well, both of you."
"Oh," Will blinked in surprise. "Thank you!"
Ari glanced at the box before deciding she needed to play with her toys. She switched her Chubby Puppy on and chased it around the floor, laughing and giggling.
Paul gave Will an encouraging smile. He was curious what his mother could have gotten them.
Will opened the box. Inside was a collection of Japanese tea leaves, a tea pot, and an instructional booklet.
"You said that you didn't know how," Tori explained. "And I know that Paul appreciates it so I thought it would be good."
"It is," Will assured her with a smile. He turned to face Paul. "I'm sure someone would enjoy it if I knew how to make stuff he actually likes."
"I would, yes," Paul teased. "Thank you, Mother."
"We got you presents," Allie exclaimed excitedly.
Johnny ran behind the tree to grab a box that they stashed away. He carefully set it on Paul's lap.
"Hmm," Paul opened the gift. He threw out several mounds of tissue paper. When he finally saw the gift, Paul chuckled appreciatively.
There were three mugs inside the box with nicknames written on them. One mug said 'World's Best Daddy'. Another mug said 'Princess Arianna'. The last mug, specially made, read, 'Superboyfriend Paul.'
"That's great," Will beamed.
"Yeah, well," Sami shrugged with a smile. "We figured you would like them."
"They're awesome," Paul agreed.
"Hey, Ari," Paul got her attention. "Should we give Daddy his present?"
Ari looked up from playing with another toy.
"Yes," Ari nodded.
Ari presented Will with a clumsily wrapped package.
Ari and Paul gave Will a framed picture of themselves. Ari sat on Paul's lap with a wide, cheesy smile. Paul held onto Ari firmly, grinning just as wide.
"I love it," Will promised. His fingers brushed along the edge of the frame reverently.
"We got you something," Ari teased Paul. She held out her hand for Paul to get off the couch.
"I have to get up?" Paul complained.
"Up, lazy," Ari shook her head. "Already put up present."
"What?" Paul frowned.
"Yeah," Will followed after them. "I had my mom put it up yesterday when we were gone. I figured you wouldn't notice."
In the hallway leading to the bedrooms stood a large picture collage frame. Inside the collage were pictures of all of Paul's new family members. There was a picture of John and Marlena. A photo of Brady holding baby Tate. Belle standing arm-in-arm with Shawn, Claire in her arms. Will even put in a picture of Sami and Eric with Johnny, Allie, and Sydney. A picture of Will and Ari stood near the bottom. In the middle of the collage was a picture of Paul, Tori, and Hiro.
"Paul like it," Ari decided for him.
"I do, huh?" Paul asked. He had a soft, gentle smile on his face.
"Yeah," Ari nodded. "Picture of Ari. You have love it."
"I do," Paul picked up Ari and placed his arm around Will's shoulders. "I really do."
The rest of the day the kids played with their toys. The girls had tea parties and fashion shows. Paul, Johnny, and Will played the new video games Santa brought them. Sami and Tori discussed raising their sons as single mothers. They both had drastically different experiences with that.
They also had several visitors coming and going all day. Brady, Tate, and Theresa dropped by for a few minutes. Kate came by with gifts for all the children. Belle, Shawn, and Claire stopped by briefly too. John and Marlena brought by several more presents.
The last to arrive were Lucas and Adrienne.
The two watched as the kids, exhausted from a long, exciting day, opened the last of their gifts.
"I wish you guys could have been with us at the Horton tree trimming," Lucas told Will.
"I had a good day," Will shrugged. "Besides, I think it's time I start my own family traditions."
Lucas glanced over at Paul. Paul sat on the floor attempting to get Ari's Palace Pets out of their plastic wrap.
"I can see that," Lucas replied.
Adrienne, steadily ignoring Tori Narita, gingerly sat on Will's other side. She pulled out a box and handed it to Will.
"Sonny sent this," Adrienne admitted. She spoke in a low voice. "I wasn't sure if you would want Ari to open it or not. I don't know what it is."
"Right," Will reluctantly took the box.
Will had been so busy the past few days he hadn't thought much about Sonny. The gifts and the fight seemed so long ago.
Will moved the box back and forth between his hands.
"He also wanted me to give you this," Adrienne gave Will a card.
Will pressed his lips together. He would deal with both items later.
"So," Lucas nodded towards Sami and Tori.
The two women were both in the kitchen making dinner.
"Yeah," Will shook his head. "Must be the holiday spirit. Or the sake I saw them hiding earlier."
"It's a Christmas miracle," Lucas declared.
"Baby," Paul called. "Help."
Paul held the plastic box up helplessly.
"I told you to get some scissors," Will shook his head.
"I wanted to use my muscles and impress you," Paul pouted.
Will grabbed a pair of scissors he left on the coffee table. He joined Paul on the floor.
"Your muscles are very impressive," Will assured Paul.
Paul lifted up one arm and flexed.
"They're smaller," Paul frowned. "I need to hit the weights."
"I'm not gonna stop you," Will commented. He easily cut through the plastic and detached the toys.
"I got muscles," Ari announced. "See?"
Ari lifted up her arms and growled.
"Look at those guns," Will teased.
"Paul," Johnny yelled from the other side of the room. "I'm gonna beat your score!"
"What?" Paul questioned, outraged. "I don't think so."
Adrienne watched the entire proceedings with a curious expression. She didn't know what to think of the situation.
Adrienne had gone through so many ups and downs with Will Horton over the years. Whenever Adrienne seemed to have made up her mind about Will something would change it again.
'A year ago, Will and Sonny were still together,' Adrienne recalled. 'And now,' Adrienne shook her head.
'I don't think anyone would have predicted this,' Adrienne noted.
"That's Sonny's mother?" Tori quietly asked Sami.
"Yep," Sami answered. "I hate her."
"Well," Tori informed Sami. "If we're being honest, I never liked Sonny."
"Really?" Sami huffed. "I used to think he was perfect for my son. That was before Paul came to Salem though. Everyone always says Will changed but Sonny changed even more."
"No mother wants her son with someone that wants to change them," Tori agreed. "At least I don't have to worry about that with Will."
"Nope," Sami smacked her lips together. "I'd say at this point Will and Paul have accepted each other's faults."
"Good," Tori nodded. "You know, I always dreamed Paul would have a family one day."
Sami and Tori both looked over at Paul and Johnny. They were lightly pushing each other, thumbs jabbing their controllers. All the while Ari, Allie, and Sydney cheered them on.
"I'd say one day you'll be getting that wish," Sami commented.
"What was your favorite present?" Will asked Ari.
Ari spit her toothpaste into the sink.
"My doll. No, the Chubby Puppy. No," Ari continued too excited to pick just one. "My Puppy Surprise!"
"I think that means you liked them all," Will smiled.
"I did," Ari nodded. "So many presents."
"Too many," Will noted. "We need to go through some old toys at home."
"Why?" Ari frowned. "Need toys."
"Uh huh," Will shook his head. "Let's go tell everyone goodnight."
Ari went from person to person giving everyone a hug and a kiss.
"Thank you for my toys," Ari told Paul. She wrapped her arms tight around him. "And for saving my daddy."
"Love you," Ari told him with a big kiss.
"I love you too," Paul promised with a giant grin. "Night, princess. Merry Christmas."
An hour later, Will helped Sydney tiptoe into Ari's room. Neither wanted to wake Ari up.
"Night, Syd," Will kissed her forehead.
"Mmm," Sydney sleepily answered. "Night, night."
After closing the door behind him, Will moved towards Allie and Johnny. Both were watching a movie on TV.
"Your turn," Will decided.
"Aw," Johnny complained. His head was lolling on the arm of the couch, exhausted.
"Do I need to carry you guys too?" Will wondered.
Allie lifted up her arms and gave Will a pouty look.
"Tell everyone goodnight," Will ordered.
"Goodnight," Allie called towards Paul, Tori, and Sami.
"Night," Jonny repeated.
Will bent over and lifted both of them up.
"You guys are too big," Will huffed. He carried them into their guest room and tossed them on their beds.
"Love you guys," Will informed them. He watched as they crawled under the covers in their beds.
"Can we spend every Christmas with you?" Allie questioned.
"I'd like that," Will agreed.
"You, Ari, and Paul," Johnny requested.
"Whatever you want, buddy," Will promised. "Goodnight."
"Well," Will said. He collapsed on the couch and leaned against Paul. "I'd say today was a success."
"And all without any drama," Paul pulled Will closer.
Will thought back to the items Adrienne brought him.
"Not quite," Will responded.
Sami and Tori, sitting on the couch opposite, looked at Will curiously.
Will leaned over to get the box and card.
"It's from Sonny," Will admitted. "I don't know if I should open them."
Paul felt tempted to smash the box out of Will's hands.
"You might as well just get it over with," Sami said dryly. She took a sip from the wine glass in her hand.
Tori nodded inquisitively.
Will handed the box to Paul while he handled the envelope.
Paul ripped open the box. His eyebrows pinched together, face drawn.
"What is it?" Tori questioned.
Paul pulled out a small stuffed animal, a French bulldog. Grudgingly, Paul admitted it was cute.
"Damn," Sami mumbled. "Ari's gonna love that."
Will read over the card with an odd expression on his face.
"What's it say?" Paul asked.
Will cleared his throat and read the Christmas card out loud:
I know I made a mess of things. It will take much more than a card and a gift to make up for it. I bought this in Paris for Arianna. I don't know if she'll accept it but I wanted to try. I wish things had been different and I'm sorry.
Merry Christmas,
Sonny
Will put the card back in the envelope. He appeared pensive.
"What a load of crap," Sami declared.
"Mom," Will sighed. "You don't know that."
"I can smell a scheme from a mile away," Sami sloshed her wine glass around.
'I can smell your alcohol from a mile away,' Will thought.
"I have to agree with Sami," Tori revealed. "It does seem suspicious."
"Exactly," Paul nodded.
"I don't know," Will shifted uncomfortably. "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I think it's up to Ari to decide if she wants the toy or not."
"That's fine," Paul agreed. "But it's up to you if you want Sonny around Ari or not."
"I know," Will put his head on Paul's shoulder. "I just don't want to deprive Ari of anything."
"You aren't taking anything away by being cautious," Paul argued.
"Yeah," Will closed his eyes. "I know."
Tori observed the two. She watched the easy way they interacted. How Will rested against Paul and Paul automatically lifted his arm to pull him closer. How Paul offered an opinion on Will's daughter without a care. That Will listened and respected Paul's opinion.
The more Tori saw between Paul and Will the more she liked.
Will and Paul laid side-by-side in bed. They both wore the Christmas pajamas Marlena gave them.
"Today was good," Paul decided with a smile.
"It really was," Will sighed in contentment. "The best one in a long time."
"It was the busiest holiday I've ever had," Paul realized.
"Allie and Johnny want to do it again next year," Will told him.
"Really?" Paul smiled. "Good."
"I have something else for you," Will bit his lip. He gave Paul a nervous expression.
"I do too," Paul laughed.
They each reached under the bed where they hid their gift.
"I have to say," Paul handed his gift over. It was just a small envelope. "This is kind of for me too."
"OK," Will said, strange look on his face.
"Open it," Paul requested.
Will pulled open the envelope. Inside was a certificate for couples cooking classes.
"We have to do it together," Paul explained. "One night a month we go to a class and they teach us different types of cuisine."
"That's really sweet," Will kissed Paul. "I love it."
Will handed over his present.
"Mine seems dirty now," Will chuckled.
Paul ripped off all the paper eagerly.
"Wow, baby," Paul teased.
Will covered his rapidly brightening cheeks.
"Lust, the passionate game for two," Paul read off the box. "Act out various indulgences and discover exactly what turns your partner on as you work your way through this erotic board game."
"When did you have time to buy this?" Paul wondered.
"I bought it at the beginning of the month, actually," Wil revealed, bashful. "We just didn't have any time to try it out."
"Well," Paul pulled Will close. "We'll have to find some alone time to use it."
"New Years," Will firmly responded.
"Oh, yeah?" Paul mused.
"Yes," Will nodded. "I have it all planned out."
"Really?" Paul brushed against Will's cheekbone.
"Uh huh," Will closed his eyes, leaning into the touch. "You planned our last big date. I'm in charge of this one."
"I spent last New Year's with you," Paul recalled.
"Well," Will opened his eyes, catching Paul's. "This time around will be better. I promise."
"It already is," Paul whispered. "Merry Christmas, baby."
"Merry Christmas," Will responded before their lips touched.
Author's note:
Hope everyone had a good New Years!
Thanks for reading!
This story is probably going to be winding down now. I have a few more chapters planned before the end though.
