lingered on his fitted sweater. The intoxicating scent riled me up for a few
seconds.
    “Anything for you, Sophia,” he whispered into
my ear. “Anything.”
    Reveling in the moment, I closed my eyes,
deeply inhaling his scent until it was so ingrained within me that I could no
longer smell it.
    “Anything?” I whispered.
    Jason pulled back and nodded.
    “Does that mean you’ll buy me some crispy
chicken over at the food court?”
    Jason raised his eyebrow and cracked a smile.
He shook his head and shrugged. “I guess I did say anything. Let me drop our
bags off at the car and we can grab something to eat.”
    “By the time we leave, there won’t be any room
left in the car for us!”
    “We took the limo,” he reminded me.
    “My point stands.”
    Jason smirked. “See you at the fast food court
in ten?”
    I nodded.
    As soon as Jason was out of sight, I walked
down the hallway towards a lingerie shop a few stores down. While passing it
earlier, I noticed a black, see-through night gown that was very short
and left very little to the imagination. Along with it, I bought a black
lacy thong. After buying it, I discretely shoved it into my purse. The material
was so small that it fit effortlessly - Jason wouldn’t suspect a thing.
    Merry Christmas, Jason, I thought.
    A few minutes later I met Jason at the food
court, where we ate greasy, crispy chicken and I listened to him talk about work.
The naughty woman in me smirked because I knew what I had in store for him.

 
 

~Chapter 2~
    Jason and I sat in his private jet as I looked
out the window at all the snow coming down.
    “That’s a lot of snow.” My voice was weak and
shaky.
    “Good.” Jason snapped his laptop shut. “That
means the conditions will be just right once we land.”
    I swallowed hard and sat back in my chair,
ignoring the severe peaks of the mountains looming just beyond the window.
    In order to distract myself, I checked the
messages on my phone.
    “Holy-”
    My eyes grew wide, looking at all the new
messages.
    Jason looked up at me with a question on his
face.
    “My inbox - I must have over a hundred new
messages!” I opened one.

 
    Sophia Fletcher,

 
    Thank you so much for your generous contribution.
Without you, we wouldn’t have been able to hire a new veterinarian for the New
Year.

 
    Again, many thanks and happy holidays.
    - Jaclyn Nomar, Philadelphia

 
    I clicked on the next email - someone from North Carolina was also
thanking me for my “generous contribution”.
    “I don’t understand.” I shook my head.
    “What is it?”
    “All these emails, they’re thanking me for
donations. I didn’t make any donations.” I looked up at Jason with a furrowed
brow.
    “Oh, right,” he said, as if remembering
something that was trivial to him. “Remember when we were at the mall and you
said you’d rather buy a new x-ray machine for that woman from Miami than get a new purse?”
    I nodded. “Yes…”
    “Well, after seeking her out and buying the machine,
it didn’t seem like enough. So I sought out all the clinics and shelters
associated with your followers online and donated a sum to each and every one
of them.”
    My mouth dropped.
    “It’s pretty neat,” he continued, smiling
slyly. “You have followers from each state.”
    “You - you donated money to a clinic in each
state?” I looked at him in amazement. “Including Hawaii?”
    Jason nodded, a proud grin on his face.
“Clinics and shelters. You have a lot of followers!”
    I opened my mouth to speak but didn’t know what
to say. “Jason, I’m speechless!”
    “I just thought, hey, why not. It’s the
holidays, right?”
    I shook my head. “Jason, you’re insane.”
    “Thank you?” He raised an eyebrow.
    “No, what I meant was - this is crazy! I hope
you didn’t go over-budget or…”
    Jason laughed. “Don’t worry about it, Sophia.
I wanted to donate to those places. I want to do good things in the world, like
you do. Now that
