Why This Must Be Read: The Summary says: Rodney tells Santa what he wants for Christmas. Twenty years later, he finally gets it. This is a Christmas holiday Harlequin romance with lots of angst. I love Harlequin style romances and a soft spot for Rodney AUs.

Rodney is the chief scientist to Pegasus Labs which has recently been bought by Sheppard Scientific. 20 years before he made a wish to Santa for his perfect idea of a boyfriend, and Santa Promises "One boyfriend. Delivered on or before Christmas 2008." Its Christmas 2008.

"Just try not to enjoy this too much," he warned Santa as he settled gingerly onto a red-velvet-covered knee. There was no way a man who'd allow a teenage boy to sit on him was anything less than a pervert, Rodney was convinced.

Brett Hall and his clique of Chi Delta Chi delinquents stood off to the side, watching and snickering.
"Is wittle Roddy ready to tell Santa what he wants for Christmas?" Brett baby-talked, making his dimwitted buddies practically spit with laughter.

Rodney sighed. He really should have known better than to have accepted a ride to the mall. But he'd needed to buy presents for his parents and Jeannie, and Brett had looked so sincere. Come on, Rodney. Just the two of us. The whole afternoon together. Rodney still wasn't sure if it had been a set up from the start or just the worst luck ever, but not five minutes after they started shopping, they'd run into Brett's stupid friends. So much for their afternoon together.

"Do you want a dolly?" one of the buffoons sing-songed at Rodney.

Brett threw his head back, as if it were the funniest thing he'd ever heard. No one witnessing this scene would have believed that a month ago, after one of their tutoring sessions, Brett had leaned across a physics textbook and kissed Rodney. The kissing had led to groping, which led to taking off all their clothes, and culminated in Brett relieving Rodney of his virginity. They'd been having sex regularly ever since. Sometimes even Rodney didn't quite believe it.

"So what would you like Santa to bring you, young man?" the old pervert inquired.

Rodney darted a glance over at Brett, who was still guffawing with the morons. He lowered his voice and dared to ask Santa for what he really wanted, "A boyfriend. He doesn't have to be as smart as me, because who is really, but not some stupid oaf, either. I'd like him to be cute, of course. And he should appreciate what a good catch I am. That's the most important part."

Santa gave him a speculative look. "I'll need some time."

Rodney frowned. Was Santa supposed to negotiate? "How much time?"

"One boyfriend," Santa promised. "Delivered on or before Christmas 2008."
