"Merry Christmas Cristina." Jackson whispers.

The snowflakes swirl past the window, and Cristina's head is resting on his chest as he kisses her softly, unsure whether or not she is still sleeping. He waits, watching her for a few seconds then his gaze flicks to the window, as he watches the world outside.

"I love you." Cristina's confession comes out as a breath, catching both of them by surprise. Hoping Jackson didn't really hear her, her eyes blink open. Smiling, she quickly adds, "Merry Christmas Jackson."

Jackson is beaming down at Cristina as he answers, "I love you too." The blush in Cristina's cheeks doesn't fade, and as her fingers graze against Jackson's jaw, she is suddenly too far from him. Her lips are on his, her kisses hot and demanding as those four words play over and over again her mind, pushing her body closer to his, her lips tug at Jackson's needing more.

This was going to be the best Christmas ever after all.
