Stuck With My Ex For Christmas

Being forced to work with my ex at an Inn revives memories that beckon a second chance for us.

My blood boils; So sure I'm close to a heart attack.

Standing smugly before me is Caleb, my ex-husband.

I've gotta work with him for the hotel's reopening.

And we must stay in this Inn alone to finish the project.

I loathe him.

But, as professionals, raise our whiskey glasses, calling a truce for this week.

Then, the gaze of his deep brown eyes warms me, burning an unexpected fire inside me.

He tucks a lock of my hair behind my ears, my lips part, and I allow him to dominate me.

Our truce is short-lived.

Until one evening, he reminds me why I fell in love with him.

At that moment, he was no longer my ex-husband, just the man I still love.

And now I need to tell him the reason we got divorced, even if I risk losing him again.
