Santa Baby

by Lexie Davis

  “Wow.” She glanced around her living room. “Are you done?”

  “Just one more trip.” He winked at her.

  While she let him get the last of the bags, she started sorting through the ones in the living room. With her wild schedule at work and the upcoming new line of cosmetics, she hadn’t even gotten her Christmas decorations down from the attic. Thankfully, she’d bought paper and bags to wrap the gifts in.

  “Okay,” he said, entering the room. “Last of the bags.”

  He dropped three plastic sacks on the love seat and held her purse out to her. She smiled and took it, tossing it to the coffee table. “Can I get you something to drink?”

  “Nah.” He moved the presents beside her and sat. “One of my requests for payback to me is you attend my family gathering. Non-negotiable.”

  “What? Why?”

  He rubbed his hand on his thigh. “Because. It won’t kill you to meet my family. The gathering is on Christmas Eve so you should be good. I don’t want you working this holiday anyway.” He met her eyes. “The rest of my requirements can wait.”

  She stared at him. “Why do I get the feeling you’re talking about sex?”

  He grinned. “Because you have a dirty mind.”

  He extended his arm on the back of the couch and turned his body towards her. He was right. She did have a dirty mind and in her fantasies he was the star. It was completely wrong on so many levels. She tried not to picture him in the role-playing costumes she dreamt up, but the ideas kept coming. He could dress up as a pirate or maybe a cowboy. The thought of tight leather chaps moulded to his well-toned thighs definitely made her mouth water.

  “Why do I get the impression that beautiful mind of yours is at work right now?”

  She glanced up at him and he grinned. Her cheeks heated. “I need to get these wrapped and out of my house, to the orphanage before Christmas.”

  He leant in to kiss her forehead. “You’re adorable when you blush.”

  That was the second time his lips touched some part of her body and she couldn’t stop the reaction her body felt. Heat sizzled through her veins. Desire so raw and intense came over her and she acted on impulse. She swallowed hard, staring into his eyes, before she leant in and pressed her lips against his.

  His hand came up to cup her cheek. She parted her lips, and his tongue slipped between. A little moan escaped from her as she kissed him back. Relief when he didn’t push her away swept through her. His hand slid into her hair and fisted the silky locks. She wanted his touch, wanted his hands caressing every inch of her body. She should probably pull away, and in the back of her mind, she considered it. A million and one reasons popped through her mind of why she should stop, but the need, the passion won her over instead. Her body wanted so much more and Luke sat beside her, willingly conceding. She moved closer to him, straddling his thighs. Her heart beat rapidly as the temperature in the room spiked a few degrees. His body heat surrounded her, made her ache to feel him inside her. She reached for his fly.

  “Whoa.” Luke pulled back and grabbed her wrists. “Slow down, sweetheart.”

  Lani stared at him. “But I thought…”

  He smiled and brushed her hair away from her face. “You thought right, but what’s the rush? You got somewhere to be?”

  She reached up to brush his lips with her finger. “Maybe. You never know. I am a busy woman.”

  His fingers slipped beneath her shirt. “Then I guess we can't waste the time we have, huh?”

  She stood and held out her hand. She didn’t plan on wasting anything where Luke was concerned, even if all she could allow herself was the one afternoon.

  Chapter Two

  Luke followed Lani into her bedroom. He liked the soft tones she’d chosen to decorate in. Everything about her house was feminine and completely her. Her queen bed was neatly made with a turquoise comforter and soft, fluffy pillows. He pulled her to him and kissed her, unable to resist the urge. If she had doubts about this, he’d shoot himself.

  He backed her against a nearby wall and tugged her sweatshirt up. He wanted her, had to have her. He tossed the shirt to the ground and groaned at the sight of her in a sexy blood-red bra. He pressed his mouth against hers.

  “Do you have any idea how long I’ve wanted to get you naked?” He held her hands above her head, pushing his body against hers. “Ever since my first job interview. I heard you were a badass, that didn’t take shit off anyone, but I sat there in front of you wanting to know what colour of panties you wore under those tight little suits you favour while you chewed me up and spit me out in my interview.”

  He kissed her again, harder than before. A little moan of delight rumbled in her throat. He pulled back and stared into her eyes. She was so damn beautiful, it took his breath away.

  “Do you like my choice of colour?”

  He smiled and brought her hand to his crotch. “What do you think?”

  She smiled. “I actually bought these with you in mind.”

  His cock pressed against his fly. “You’re beautiful.”

  She wrapped her arms around his neck, and they stumbled to the bed. She peeled her jeans off while he stepped away long enough to work on his suit. He’d left the jacket in the living room while he unloaded the SUV so one article was out of the way. He paused in unbuttoning his shirt when Lani tossed her jeans to the floor. She climbed on the mattress and lay back against the pillows, waiting for him, watching his every move.

  He shrugged out of his shirt and reminded himself to slow down. He really didn’t want to screw things up before they even got started. Lani smiled and crawled towards him.

  “Like you, I’ve been wondering what was hidden beneath your impeccable suits.” She scraped a nail down his chest.

  “I’m wearing black boxers.”

  She laughed. “Not what I meant.”

  He leant in and pressed his lips against hers. Four long years of waiting, and finally, they were going to be together. Her hands worked on his zipper as he cradled her head between his hands. He couldn’t stop kissing her. Didn’t want to. She slipped his zipper over his erection and pushed his pants off his hips. Luke kicked them to the side and crawled over her, pushing her back against the mattress.

  “Luke?” She ended the kiss and stared into his eyes. “I don’t have any protection.”

  Her statement hit him like a large bucket of ice water. His condom-in-the-wallet days were over. Shit. He sat back and contemplated his next move. He always took women to his place—where a drawer full of every kind of condom on the market happened to be. What the fuck was he going to do now?

  “I’m sorry. I didn’t think about it until now.” She brushed her hand down his chest.

  Luke wanted to shout his frustrations but instead, kissed her forehead and rolled to his side. “It’s not your fault. I wasn’t planning on sex with my boss this afternoon or I would have bought every damn box a nearby store had.”

  She kissed his chest. “Maybe we could do other things…things that don’t need condoms.”

  He lifted his head, intrigued, and met her eyes. “What do you have in mind?”

  She grinned and moved away. He watched with curiosity as she entered her bathroom and closed the door for a moment. When she came out, she had a bottle in her hand. She climbed in bed beside him and tugged his boxers off his hips, tossing them to the floor.

  Lani wrapped her small hand around him. “A friend coerced me to buy this stuff from a sex shop we visited in Las Vegas and I had no idea what I’d do with it until now.”

  He smiled, though surprised. Straight-laced Lani went to a kinky sex shop in none other than Sin City itself. “You visited a sex shop?”

  Her thumb brushed the tip of his cock. With as much innocence she could muster, she said, “Do I not look like the sex shop kind?”

  He laughed. “No, not really.”

  The imagine of Lani in a room full of sex toys entered his mind and made him impossibly harder. God, he would have loved to
have been there, picking out items for them to try together. He hadn’t even fucked her yet and his mind pictured a million different things he wanted to experience with her, only her.

  She shook her head with a grin. “Okay, you’re right. I did learn a thing or two though.”

  She leant down and kissed the tip of his cock. He hissed air between his teeth and shut his eyes. Her soft lips anywhere near his cock was enough to make him come. Hell, the thought was enough, much less the action. He opened his eyes and watched. She circled the tip with her tongue, once then twice, before closing her lips around him and sucking lightly. Each pull of her mouth tested his control, brought him to the very edge. Lani’s hand wrapped around him as she took him deeper, bumping his cock against the back of her throat.

  “Oh, fuck. That’s good.”

  Of all the damn times for him to forget protection. This was his one chance with her, and like a horny fool, he’d have to settle for a blowjob at best. Lani pulled away with a snicker. He watched as she reached for the bottle and popped the top.

  She upended the bottle and poured a generous amount of oil on his stiff dick. She recapped the bottle and set it to the side.

  “Spread your legs.” Her voice was low, sexy even, as she gave him the command.

  When he complied, she moved between them. Her touch was light, gently rubbing the oil over his cock and balls. Luke watched her work him, her breasts swaying with her movements. She still wore her red panty set, something Luke regretted not making her take off. He wanted to see her naked, wanted to be buried inside her.

  He wrapped his hand around hers and squeezed harder, guiding her along his shaft. He needed the release. It’d been too damn long, and Lani was here with her hand on his cock, pumping him. He didn’t bother holding back any longer.

  She leant down and flicked his balls with her tongue, giving him that final push. He clutched the sheets at his sides. Hot jets spurted onto his belly as pleasure shot through him. After the last pulse passed, she ran her tongue along his shaft. He opened his eyes long enough to see her take his cock into her mouth. She felt too damn good surrounding him, making him want her all over again. Her tongue caressed him, teased as she swirled it along his dick. He was still half hard from the first time, and she wasn’t about to quit sucking him any time soon.

  “Take your panties off, Lani.” His voice was thick with arousal. “I want to taste you.”

  She pulled back, still stroking his cock. “But I’m not done with you yet.”

  “Honey, you can suck my dick until your jaw is sore. I don’t care.” He waved her over. “I want you to straddle my face and let me tongue-fuck you.”

  She leant back enough to lift her hips and slide her panties down her legs. Luke groaned in sweet agony as he stared at her bare pussy, licking his lips in anticipation. She sat up with her feet planted on each side of his thighs and undid her bra.

  “I’m all yours.”

  If that were only true.

  * * * *

  Hot water sprinkled down on her naked body, relaxing her. They’d probably ruined her sheets with the oil, rolling around like two greased pigs, but the climaxes and the smile on her face made it worth it. Luke was worth it.

  “Be careful,” Lani warned when Luke climbed in the oversized shower stall behind her. “When the oil washes off, it makes the floor slippery.”

  He gripped the door handle and stepped closer to her. “We did overdo it a bit, huh? I think we used the whole bottle.”

  He pulled her into his arms and kissed her. He was warm despite lying naked with her, playing in body oil. Most of the spray hit her back, wetting her body instead of his. She moved away and pushed him at an arm’s length, staring.

  Toned abs seemed darker with the light sheen of oil covering him. She’d massaged his whole body, giving herself the pleasure of touching every single inch of his skin. Somehow, they’d refrained from actual fucking, but all the orgasms they’d given one another didn’t lessen her desire any.

  “I don’t know.” She tilted her head to the side. “It’s not a total waste. All that oil makes me want to run my tongue all over you.”

  Luke gripped his cock and started a slow stroke to the hardening length. “You really need to keep some emergency condoms in the medicine cabinet.”

  She snorted and turned. The water splashed in her face and drew her back to reality. One time with him would never be enough. She closed her eyes. Luke had always been so much more than an employee. And he was way more than a friend.

  He slipped a hand between her legs, surprising her when his finger brushed her clit. She leant back against him allowing him to kiss her neck. She wanted him inside her. Just his fingers or only his tongue wasn’t enough. She spread her legs wider, pressing her ass against his cock. She wanted him to enter her and fuck her senseless.

  “Baby, we can’t.” His tongue slithered up the side of her neck. “God, I want you, but we can’t.”

  Condoms. She nearly groaned with frustration. Crazy as it sounded she was almost willing to risk it just to feel him inside her hot pussy. Lani blinked her eyes open. Where did that come from?

  Luke squeezed her breast, pinching her nipple as his other hand continued to play. She needed more from him, and she needed it now. Lani turned around and kissed him. She nearly tackled him to the shower floor, straddling his hips, feeling his hot cock between her legs. God help her, she knew this was completely insane. She may have known him four years, but he was still practically a stranger in many ways.

  “I need to taste you,” he whispered against her mouth.

  He scooted down while she shimmied up, until his hot tongue lapped at her folds. A strangled cry left her lips as he pushed inside her. She held onto the wall with him holding onto her thighs and rocked against his probing tongue.

  His tongue swirled around her clit, giving her that final push. She gasped and leant forward, hardly able to hold herself up as her orgasm came over her. She barely even registered he’d had come too.

  Luke lifted her off him and pushed her down his body while he did his best to sit up. “That was…wow.”

  She stared at him, the warm water of the shower hitting her back. His smile was contagious. She bent forward and kissed him, feeling a sense of emotion she couldn’t quite name. She loved being in his arms, didn’t quite understand why she’d kept away from him for so long.

  Luke pulled back. “We’re almost out of hot water and we haven’t even washed all the oil off yet.”

  Lani reached for the body wash and loofah. “We can’t have that now, can we?”

  After squirting a bit onto his stomach, she started to wash him.

  * * * *

  When Luke finally decided to leave, he promised to come back with condoms next time. Lani smiled and kissed him. He had no clue how much he meant to her, and truth be told, she didn’t realise it until that day. Their romp may not mean anything to him, but it meant a lot to her.

  “I’ll see you tomorrow okay, baby?” He wrapped his arms around her waist. “I promised I’d help wrap the gifts, and we can take them to the orphanage afterward.”

  She nodded. “Thank you for helping.”

  He kissed her forehead. “Don’t look so sad. I promise I’ll be at your doorstep first thing.”

  She laid her cheek against his chest. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She loved him. How had she fallen in love with Luke? Maybe it was the consistent way he always picked her up before she fell down. She loved that about him. For much of her life, she couldn’t depend on anyone, but Luke walked in and everything changed. He made her feel appreciated and sexy. He made her crave to be around him. He even invited her to his family’s Christmas gathering because he knew she’d spend the holidays alone. How could she not love him?

  “Lani?” He pushed her back and she tried to hide her tears. “What’s wrong, sweetie?”

  “Nothing. It’s just the cold.”

  His quizzical expression stated he didn’t buy it. He pulled her agai
nst him and held her close. “If something’s hurting you, I want you to tell me.”

  “I’m fine.” She sniffled. “You can go home.”

  He didn’t budge. “Sweetie, you can tell me what’s wrong.”

  No she couldn’t. “Nothing. I’m fine.”

  He nuzzled her cheek. “Do you want me to stay with you? I can go home grab some clothes and some condoms and come back.”

  “I’m fine.” She held more confidence in her voice, hopefully convincing him what she said was true. If she let him back in, she might never let him go again. God, what was wrong with her? She’d known she liked Luke from the moment she’d met him. She liked his kindness and generosity. His intelligence and his sexy body.

  A long moment of silence passed between them. She shouldn’t have let things get personal between them and needed time to figure out what the hell was going on. They hadn’t even had sex and yet she was blubbering like a fool in love. Emotions were tricky things and hers were screwing with her.

  “Did I tell you I got you a Christmas present?” Luke asked, trying to brighten her mood. “Two actually.”

  “No.” She rubbed her cheek against him, breathing his scent in. “You didn’t have to get me anything.”

  “I know that. I did anyway.” He pulled away. “Will you spend the night at my house on Christmas Eve? I want you to open it first thing Christmas morning.”

  More tears gathered in her eyes. She was a complete emotional wreck. She nodded in answer to his request.

  “Honey, what’s wrong?” He looked pained.

  She shook her head. “Nothing. I need to get out of the cold. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

  She kissed his cheek and went inside, closing the door behind her. This was the first Christmas in her life that actually felt like she dreamt it should be. Making plans for the holidays that didn’t include work but being with someone she cared about. Planning a night of hot sex and lying around the house cuddling all day afterward—simply because they could. She wanted that. It was a good feeling, yet confusing at the same time.
