    About this ebook

    Harry is desperately unhappy with his life.  He hates his job, his apartment, and most especially, he hates the way he looks. Despite this, once Harry hears that his fantasy man, Javier Torres, is playing Santa at the local gay bar, he can't wait to get his picture taken sitting on Javier’s lap in hopes of finally catching the sexy man's attention.  But it all goes wrong, and Harry ends up telling a different “Santa” exactly how his life could be made better... but he doesn’t expect his Christmas wish to come true!

    B.G. Thomas

    B.G. Thomas lives in Kansas City with his two husbands—which yes, is different, but amazingly rewarding and wonderfully romantic. They have two sweet rescue dogs named Oliver (who the breed name Dorkie applies perfectly) and Frodo (who is just learning to be a dog). He is missing his soul dog Sarah Jane very much, but she will live on forever in several of his books and in his heart. He is also blessed to have a lovely daughter and they love to hang out. B.G. loves to read romance, comedy, fantasy, thrillers, mystery, science fiction, and even horror—as far as he is concerned, as long as the stories are character driven and entertaining, it doesn’t matter the genre. He has gone to literature conventions his entire adult life, where he’s been lucky enough to meet many of his favorite writers. He has made up stories since he was a child; it’s where he finds his joy. In the nineties, he wrote for gay adult magazines but stopped because the editors wanted all sex without plot, and edited his setups right out. “The sex is never as important as the characters,” he says. “Who cares what they are doing if we don’t care about them?” Excited about the growing male/male romance market—where setup and cute meets is where it’s at—he began writing again. He submitted a novella and was thrilled when it was accepted in four days. Since then the romantic tales have poured out of him. “It’s like I’m somehow making up for a lifetime’s worth of story-telling!” “Leap, and the net will appear” is his personal philosophy and his message. “It is never too late,” he testifies. “Pursue your dreams. They will come true!” You can read about whatever he’s working on right now or whatever he’s rambling on about at his website/blog at: bthomaswriter.wordpress.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/bgthomaswriter Twitter: twitter.com/BGThomasBooks He is always happy to hear from his readers!

      Very nice Christmas story, a variation on the theme of 'be careful what you wish for'.

      Harry is a man like many others: he wants something and someone he can't have, dreams about it for months, and is blind to what he already has. Different from many others, he gets what he wants most; only to discover it wasn't what he needed.

      Cody is adorable. I really felt for him from the very beginning and was very happy he got his happy ending.

      If you like stories with a little twist and some fantastical elements, you will like this one.

    Christmas Wish - B.G. Thomas

    Christmas Wish

    IT WAS a Saturday night, and The Male Box, Harry’s favorite gay bar, was packed. A dance version of Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree bombarded the patrons from all angles. There were men everywhere—lined up for drinks, dancing, waiting to dance, waiting for something more—but none of them was the man Harry Fielding was looking for.

    I don’t believe you dragged me here again, said Cody, his best friend.

    I hardly twisted your arm, Harry said. He was sure this was the night. It was the Saturday before Christmas.

    I hate it when we come here, Cody said. "None of these men know we’re alive. That song from Chicago is about us."

    Which song? Harry asked, barely paying attention. The charity stand should’ve been big. Why couldn’t he see it?

    ‘Mister Cellophane’, Cody answered. They look right through us, walk right by us….

    I don’t give a shit, Harry said. "Tonight, Javier is going to have to pay attention to me."

    Yeah, right, said Cody with a theatrical roll of his eyes. With anyone else it would have looked silly, but Cody somehow always carried it off. It was just one of the things Harry loved about his friend. Why will he have to pay attention to you?

    Because, Butthole, Harry snapped, he won’t have a choice. I’ll be sitting right in his damned lap. He won’t be able to ignore me.

    Cody shook his head.

    Harry smiled wistfully. I’ll finally be able to say something to him, Cody.

    And he’ll be totally enthralled with your personality and turn away from his hunk friends?

    Why are you being this way? Harry shouted, and then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He wasn’t going to get mad. He’d been looking forward to this night all week. Javier was playing Santa, and ten bucks for a picture for charity meant he would be sitting smack-dab in the lap of his fantasy man. He’d be able to touch him. And if Javier looked anything like the Santas in years past, Harry’s fantasy wouldn’t be wearing much. Harry would get to touch quite a lot.

    I’m sorry, Cody said. I just know these guys, Harry. I don’t know why you obsess with their kind.

    Their kind? Harry asked, still searching for the Christmas display. The Male Box was a big bar, but not that big. What ‘kind’ is that?

    Clones, Cody said.

    Says the hairdresser! Harry laughed.

    "Hairstylist, Cody corrected with a wiggle of his hips. At least we’re friendly. We’re real. Guys like Javier just don’t have anything to do with guys like us, Harry. They have a reputation to uphold. They can’t be seen—"

    With guys like us? Right! Average. I’m so fucking average I could scream.

    "I don’t think you’re average," Cody said.

    There! Harry cried, having finally spotted what he was looking for. He pointed to a large arch in the far corner of the room. It had Mr. Santa painted across it in red and green glitter. How the hell did we miss it? Harry darted through an opening in the crowd, and there he was.

    Javier Torres.

    Looking like a leather god.

    Fuck, Harry gasped.

    Javier was sitting in a large chair, dressed all in leather, just like the picture in the ad. He was smiling, his eyes twinkling in a way Harry had never seen. It made his heart pound. The image was hardly that of any Santa from Harry’s childhood. Not the kind he’d waited for to bring him his toys on Christmas morning.

    But now that he was an adult? Javier was a Santa Harry would be more than happy to find coming down his chimney. If he had one.

    Javier had let his beard grow for the event and was scruffier than Harry had ever seen him. He liked the effect. Javier’s broad, lightly hairy chest was framed by a small bar vest and crisscrossing harness. He appeared to be wearing chaps, and Harry could only hope they were assless. Maybe he’d actually see Javier’s butt? The only real concession the leatherman had made to being Santa Claus was a Santa-style hat, but of course it was black leather instead of red wool or flannel.

    The sight took Harry’s breath away and caused a stirring in his jeans. How could any man be that gorgeous? Harry wondered. Two, combined maybe, three for sure. But one?

    Javier was teasing the twink in his lap, whispering to him (which caused an explosion of girl-like giggles) and then reached up and unerringly found the young man’s nipple through his shirt and gave it a pinch just as they were both bathed in a flash of light as the photographer took their picture.

    Oh my gawd, said Harry. If he does that to me, I’ll cum in my pants.

    "That he’ll notice," Cody said.

    Harry ignored him and dashed to the decorated card table where a chubby little bear was selling tickets. Can I get two pictures? he asked.

    The young man gave him a knowing grin and said, You sure can, you sexy thing. You Kansas City men are so hot!

    Harry didn’t even hear the compliment as he handed over his money and snatched up his tickets. He ran to get in line. Luckily, there were fewer than a dozen men in front of him. Men? To his surprise, he saw there was a little old woman in front of him. She was all dressed in red and even had little round glasses. Why not? he thought. He could be generous with his fantasy. It was Christmas, after
