Kink the Halls: A Christmas Novella Read online

  All the presents are distributed, the family is happy, and I am pretty sure Christmas is a fucking success. I didn't think I could pull it off, and for a while, I was worried everything was going to crash and burn. But it didn't. A giant damn surprise, but it didn't.

  Chrome's arms tighten around my stomach, pulling me in tighter. Closer to his hard chest. My favorite place to snuggle up. River gets up, and walks into the kitchen and Paisley tails behind him. They are adorable together. I really am glad they found each other, even though they may kill each other. That blow up in the kitchen yesterday, I was worried. I guess hooking up siblings isn't the best idea, but whatever.

  Something jingles through the house. It’s a bell? River and Paisley come around the corner with the tiniest little puppy in their arms. She is gray and white, and I want to eat her. River puts her down on the floor, and she runs for Chrome. What the hell?

  “Go see Mommy,” he says to the dog, as it climbs up in my lap, trying to get to him. The puppy settles for me, and starts licking my face.

  “Every home needs a dog,” Chrome says as he roughly rubs the puppies head. “Her name is Willow, she is a blue nose pit bull, and she is yours. Merry Christmas Star.” I can't help but smile. This is the best present anyone has ever given me. It means so much, and since we won't be adding to our family anytime soon, she is absolutely perfect!

  I pet her, and pick her up to snuggle her soft fur against my face. Her energy starts to fade, and she is sleeping in no time at all.

  “I even got her one of those fancy name tags, but if you want to change her name I understand,” I wouldn't even think about changing her name.

  “It's perfect, Chrome.” I run my hand along the collar, pulling at the tag to take a peak. But there is no tag. I spin the collar around her neck, and spy the diamond ring connected to the collar with a small red ribbon.

  As I turn in Chrome's arms, he slips away and rises into a kneeling position and my heart plummets to my stomach. I've never been a commitment type girl. I've never dreamt of a big wedding, or a poufy white dress. Right now, I can only think of being that girl, because this man makes me the happiest I could ever imagine.

  “Star, I never thought I would find someone like you. I've wandered through life in the dark, grasping for some sort of normalcy. Then I found you. You are my everything. You are beautiful, and sweet. The best mother I could ever ask for when it comes to Scarlett. We don't have to get married soon, hell, it could be years. But, I can't think of anything in life that I want more than for you to wear my name.” Don't cry. Stop it. I can't cry. I don't want to cry. Oh fuck it!

  The tears pour down my face as I nod my head. “Yes,” is all I can squeak out, and the entire living room comes to live with cheers and congratulations. The poor sleeping puppy freaks out and starts howling. Chaos is the best word that can describe this moment. But chaos is how I’ve always lived my life. I thrive on it. It makes me happy, and completes me. My soul wouldn't thrive without it.

  It may not be for others, but it is for me. This is my family, and my life. I wouldn't rather be anywhere else in the world right now.

  “Merry Christmas to all!”

  Merry Christmas from the Crew

  Seven, Levi, Star, Chrome, Magnolia, Scarlett,

  River, Paisley, Ryker, and of course the newest addition

  Willow.

  I know what you all are thinking. This bitch went soft for a guy. Quit her job, moves to the 'burbs and lost her edge. And maybe in the slightest way, I have lost a piece of the Seven I was for so many years. But the piece that I left behind was the damaged, bitter, broken bitch that was toxic. There was no moving on to a happily ever after in life with that baggage.

  Maternity leave is off the table, rough sex isn't going to stop; no matter how hard my husband tries to convince me otherwise. I'm not going to hang off the ceiling or any crazy shit, but a girl has needs! I'm not a Dom, I guess I really never was. I just harbored the need to be in control and used sex to reach that need. Something I never knew until Levi walked into my life was the fact that I was incredibly lonely. I am glad this all has changed.

  I am excited to share the next journey of our lives together with you, and that will come sometime in 2014 with Levi and my second book: His.

  Letter from the Author:

  I want to thank every reader who has taken the time to read Hers, Finding Willow, and now Kink the Halls. These are my babies, and you have treated them with such love. When everyone asked for more Seven and Levi I tried to think of a fun way to bring you more of their story, and so Kink the Halls was born.

  In the upcoming months, I have a lot of news coming including a number of new novels, as well as a new series of novellas.

  February will bring you This Girl Stripped. This is River and Paisley’s book, and I know you guys are really itching for more from them after reading Kink the Halls.

  May will bring His, Seven and Levi’s second book. I can’t give you any more details on that yet, but keep checking www.EroticaDawn.com for info!

  I have signed two of my Contemporary Romance novels with Beau Coup Publishing. These will be available by January. I am unsure of the titles, or further information now but when I have it, I will post it on my site!

  Lastly, I am announcing a new novella series. (Which very well may turn into full length novels knowing how I work.)

  The Vegas Girls series will kick off with Uncomplicated between January and March of 2014.

  I want to thank everyone for all the support,

  My email box is always open for every last one of you!
