The Gift

This year, I’m giving my favorite shy scientist an extra special gift…

Me.

Here on this island in the Arctic sea, we have a tradition. We exchange gifts to help us through the long, dark winter.

As the island’s postal worker, I get to deliver those gifts, and see the smiles on everyone’s faces. But one man never gets anything, and it breaks my heart.

People think he’s awkward. Reserved and standoffish. But I know better--the handsome scientist is just shy.

I’ve watched him for so long, wanted him for so long, and I can’t see him be lonely for another minute. I can’t bear it.

I hope he’s ready for a hell of a gift. Because I’m giving the scientist everything.

The Gift is a short and steamy age gap instalove story, starring a shy scientist and the girl who brings him out of his shell.
