Christmas on Adelaide Road
Christmas on Adelaide
Road
takes place about a month after the end of the main story in Scenes from Adelaide Road and is now
available as a FREE read, exclusively on the Pride Publishing website.
This
book does not contain spoilers for the main story and can therefore be read
both by those who would like to spend some more time with Lennart and Aidan and
by readers interested in checking my lads out.
The blurb:
One month after settling into his new life with
Aidan Cassidy, nineteen-year-old Lennart Kelly is about to experience his first
ever traditional Christmas.
From stuffing and cooking a turkey to the
intricacies of giving and receiving presents, Aidan and his family show Lennart
the true meaning of an Irish Christmas.
Excerpt:
Unusually for me I was fully alert as soon
as I woke up. I wasn’t normally this good early in the morning, especially not
in winter with the room still shrouded in darkness by eight and the cold air
surrounding the bed doing nothing to entice me from underneath the warm covers
and away from Aidan’s comforting presence.
“Time is it?” Aidan’s gravelly early
morning voice and half formed sentence made me smile.
“Only six. Go back to sleep.”
Aidan curled his arm around my waist and
pulled me close.
“Not thinking about getting up, are you?”
Aidan’s warm breath ghosted over the back
of my neck and made me shiver.
“I’ve got lots to do,” I said.
“You’re not going anywhere until I’ve had
my Christmas cuddle.” Aidan tightened his hold on my waist and kissed the back
of my neck just below my hairline, a very sensitive spot, as he knew all too
well.
“Like what?” He sounded more awake now.
“What can you possibly do before me ma arrives to cook the dinner with you. The
house is clean enough, we could eat off the floor if we wanted to.”
“I know, but….” I didn’t finish my sentence
because he was right. There was absolutely nothing I could do at six o’clock in
the morning. I was restless though. I wanted to be busy. Waiting made me
nervous. Today would be another first for me in a long line of new experiences.
The past seven months had taught me to trust that the unknown was, more often
than not, positive and exciting, but I hadn’t managed to rid myself of all my
old insecurities yet.
“Relax, baby. Turn around, give us a kiss.”
