Gift for the Boss: Billionaire Romance Christmas Novella
kiddo. Boy or girl?" Jamie moved back and brushed the snow from Alex's broad shoulders.
    "Six-year-old little girl. Alyssa." He leaned in and kissed Jamie softly, as if no one else was in the room. "I love your giving heart. Keeps me warm inside and wanting to be a better man."
    Her voice softened due to the flood of emotion that swept through her. "You were a better man long before I met you."
    Gina broke up the moment comically. "Alright, you two; unless you're going to introduce me to a hunk I can cuddle and snuggle up to, break it up. Some of us don't need a reminder of our lack during the holidays."
    Jamie turned and walked toward Gina, pulling her into an awkward side hug. "You're going to find the perfect man. I promise."
    "Nope. She's not." Alex moved toward the gifts and started pushing them around.
    "Why’s that?" Jamie asked as she released Gina.
    "Because there's only one perfect man, and he's taken." He gave them a cheeky grin.
    "Did I say perfect? I just meant good. Perfect just took on a whole new meaning." The pseudo- sauciness in Gina's voice was perfect for another good laugh.
    "You know I'm kidding." Alex walked to the door and paused. "Everything’s ready for the present pick-ups, Gina?"
    "Yes, sir.”
    “You can handle it?” Alex asked.
    Gina waved her hand. “I didn’t expect you to stick around and give presents to hundreds of employees.” She smiled and motioned to Jamie and Alex. “You guys get out of here, and I'll take care of it." She picked up a random gift and shook it. "One for them, two for me."
    "You need more than that, for sure. Putting up with me all year should get you a new house and a boat."
    "I'll take both. Thank you, boss man." She walked across the room and gave Alex a quick hug. The warmth between the two of them caused Jamie's eyes to fill with tears.
    "Let's go." Alex moved out of Gina's embrace and glanced over at Jamie, the smile on his face kind and understanding of her emotions. "We need to get a tree."
    Jamie wiped the corner of her eyes and walked out of her office with the two of them. "I thought you just went to get a tree."
    "In my Lexus? No, silly woman." He reached out and took her hand. "I needed a truck to get the tree."
    "You bought a truck?" Jamie lifted an eyebrow as she snuggled against his side.
    "You're surprised by this?" Gina chuckled and moved to her desk. "Have fun, guys, and Merry Christmas."
    "Merry Christmas, Gina." Alex walked them toward the elevator and pulled Jamie inside as she said her final goodbyes. He pressed her to the wall just after the door closed, and ran his hands down her sides and over her hips. "I got the truck so we could do this thing the right way. Just like I'm going to do you tonight."
    "I want that... now." She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down, pressing her warm lips to his cold ones. His tongue pressed against her lips and she tilted her head a little, opening her mouth to take it.
    He groaned deep in his chest, and her body lit on fire. Maybe there would be time to stop by the house before they got the tree, or between getting the tree and going to the hospital.
    Yeah... that'll work.
    The kiss was cut short by the elevator opening and someone clearing their throat. Jamie blushed as she pulled from Alex and murmured her apologies.
    "I'm not sorry. You're so damn hot, baby. The fire I want to warm up again every night," he whispered in her ear. He wrapped his arm back around her and leaned down to kiss her nose before they got out of the elevator and let the older couple in.
    Jamie tried to pull herself from nefariously wicked sexual fantasies that starred the hot guy beside her.
    Alex opened the front door to the building as a flurry of snow dropped from the sky. She couldn't help but glance up. "I love this time of year."
    "Me too," Alex responded, "but you need to come on before I freeze my ass off." He opened the door to a large white pickup truck and helped her get into it.
    She waited until he was
