My muscles tense down low, thinking of how he eased his cock into my back entrance last night, setting me up on the low king-sized bed covered with red satin sheets on all fours. He worked my tight opening with his tongue first until I came three times and begged him to take me that way.
There was lots of peppermint lube and a slow entry, but yeah, I thought my books were all hype and no substance when it came to all things anal.
But whoooo-Lort. I loved it. I came until I passed out.
I was sore and spent. And the way he touched me in the bath while he washed me clean after everything made me fall in love with him all over again. He insisted on bathing me. I was as limp as over boiled linguine. My mind mush.
In the books I read they sometimes talk about the ‘drop’ after, like, intense sex or playtime. Especially when it’s…well, a bit rough.
I get it, girls.
I. Get. It.
The bath was so intimate. Such a vulnerable place for me to be. Naked, satiated, bruised and so in love with the man I’ve always known as family.
The exhilaration and confusion is exhausting.
But I can’t wait to get him all to myself again.
Seeing Lucy in the workshop is still niggling at me. I didn’t bring it up to Papa because I didn’t want her in trouble, but I don’t like secrets between us.
But if she gives up hers, I have to give up mine and I’m not ready to face the fallout from that right now. It’s Christmas Eve day and I don’t want to ruin everything. Not today. Not tomorrow.
But, when?
“Santa’s going to give you all the special gifts you could ever wish for, little one,” he replies, his voice cascading through me as he shakes hands with one of the departing guests who looks like he overindulged in the egg nog last night.
“What are you two whispering about?” I jump at the sound of Lucy’s voice from behind me, her hands resting on my shoulders before they start to squeeze.
I squirm away. “Ow! You’ve got a grip like a fucking mechanic.”
She glances at Papa for a fraction of a second, and something passes between them.
“What?” I ask, a moment of soul crushing terror making the ground feel unsteady.
What if?
No. Oh my God, no…
Lucy was in the workshop. It feels like they have a secret too.
Could he—my stomach collapses on itself. Could they be…together?
Is that the real reason he sent me to bed, then Lucy didn’t follow?
Lucy shakes her head. “Nothing. Papa, someone just mentioned they noticed that asshole McAllister pacing around on the north end by the big pasture. Our side of the fence. Said we might want to check it out.”
Papa grunts in annoyance. “One of our guests saw him?”
She nods. “The Westens? They went for a walk out on the barn path you had the crew clear in case anyone wanted to go see the reindeer and there was Mort, cursing and waving his hands. When they came back, they told Mama who then told me to tell you.”
“Fucker.” Papa grits his perfect teeth. His anger makes me horny even as I process the terrifying possibility that he’s got a thing for granddaughters…and not just step granddaughters. “That old drunk fuck. I gotta deal with that and I’m meeting with Alfredo Pugliesi later. He’ll want to talk about how wonderful his son is—”
“Sully?” Lucy stands up straight as poker, grinding her teeth for a second.
“Are you okay?” I ask with my heart in my throat. Something else is bothering her. She’s got zero interest in Papa right now and I’ve never seen that look in her eyes.
Papa pauses and looks at her as well. He’s all business, none of the simmering tension that he has when he’s speaking to me. “You know him?”
“Yes… Well, no. Not really.” Lucy shakes her head, scratching at her forehead. “I just know that’s the name of his son.”
“Yeah, well…” Papa coughs. “You both want to get out of here? I need a break.”
“Are you serious?”, we ask in unison.
“Jinx,” I mutter, and Lucy sticks out her tongue.
“We can catch the last day of the winter festival in town,” Papa mumbles. “I thought…we can take a break once in a while. Give you both a little freedom.”
“Cool.” Lucy nods. “I need a manicure, like, desperately. Meet you at the car in fifteen?”
She marches off and I reach up to whisper in Papa’s ear before the last guest steps forward to say goodbye. “I don’t want freedom. I like when you boss me around. I’ll do anything for you. Anything and everything.”
The Land Rover’s engine hums as snow crunches beneath the tires down the winding road, occasional creaks from the suspension the only reminder that the frozen ground is treacherous. I feel safe with Papa; his confident, experienced hands on the wheel as the town comes into view, nestled in a wooded valley.
