Something MORE for Santa

by AKM Miles

  “Are you sure you don’t have any other questions?” Max teased.

  “I might, but not right now.” Michael stopped walking, and since they were both attached to him, they did, too. He looked up at Max and then Derek.

  “I love you, my two daddies. We’re gonna have a good time, aren’t we?”

  “We love you, too. And yes, we’re going to have a great time, because we’re together. Right, Daddy Derek?” Max asked, looking at Derek with love.

  Derek bent and picked up Michael and they shared a three-way hug. Max and Derek had the same idea at the same time and they tickled Michael, getting squeals of laughter from him.

  “Oh, yes, you’re right. We’re going to have a wonderful time.”

  “Aren’t you glad you met my Daddy, Derek?”

  Max and Derek looked at each other and grinned, both getting it at the same time.

  They both answered, “Yes!” at the same time.

  Derek felt as if he’d won the love lottery when he met Max. They just fit so well and Derek loved Michael as if he were his own. They were a family. The “something for Santa” that Derek had wished for before Christmas had turned into way more than he’d ever dreamed was possible.

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  AKM Miles loves to read M/M. She loves to write. She loves characters. A good story line is great, she figures, but if you don’t care anything about the characters, why would you care what happens to them? That’s pretty much why and how she writes.

  She loves, absolutely loves, to hear from readers. She’s quite tickled when the emails she gets all say something along the lines of… “When is Daniel going to get a story?” or “I’m still waiting for Gom’s story?” “What about Randy, that Brack and Austin helped. Will he get a story, too?” and “You are going to write one about Mark and Wade, aren’t you?”

  That shows that people love the characters in AKM’s books and that’s why she writes. She loves it when readers love her guys. Often called for being too mushy or romantic or sweet and told that guys don’t talk like that, she replies, “Actually, yes, they do.” Her motto is ***love is love*** and she believes that guys do feel deeply and care deeply and if they’re happy people, they don’t mind sharing that love. It’s a good thing.
