Page 18 of Five Days of Christmas Spice

“I’ve never told anyone that before.” Her eyes are wide.

“I’m so thrilled you trust me. I can make that happen for you. Can you agree to give me these five days? Five days of Kinkmas?”

Her laugh is the perfect thing to break the tension.

“Kinkmas?” Her eyebrows shoot up to her hairline.

“Yes, Kinkmas.” I reach out and lightly run my fingertips along her arm.

“What happens at the end of five days?”

Looking into her glowing eyes, I know I want her past these five days, but I’m not sure if my grieving heart can do an entire future. But…I could give her the best kinky five days I know how to.

“I’m not looking for a long-term commitment, but I’m open to remaining friends, maybe more.”

It’s the only thing I can give her right now.

She nods. “You need to know that I don’t like honorifics. I like being called a good girl. I like praise and pup or puppy or pet when we’re playing, but I don’t…I don’t want to call you sir or master or be called sub…or anything like that.”

A sour taste coats my mouth, and I hope Holly’s first boyfriend is alone with a shrivelled dick somewhere.

“I can’t wait to hear my name from your lips tonight.”

“Tonight?”

Yes, because I want to show her that she can trust me, and I want to start erasing her past experiences and replacing them with good ones.

“Why wait?”

“Isn’t that six days of Kinkmas?”

“No, it’s one night and five days, and they’re going to be as dazzling as your smile, Holly. Is it okay if I order?” I want to switch gears for a moment to give her time to absorb everything we’ve discussed.

“Yes.” She reaches for her water.

I wave Lori over and notice the dining room is empty.

“Can we have the roasted Portobello with the farro salad?”

“Yes, Mr. Brennon,” Lori says. She collects our empty appetizer plates and leaves us.

Holly nods, and the glass of water trembles slightly as she sets it down. “Was it hard to get people to work here?”

Ah, business is a safe topic and a break from the vulnerability she shared.

“We offer a full salary, great benefits and an above-industry package. Obviously, it helps if our staff is familiar with the lifestyle but if they can be discreet and have comfortability with it that helps. Are you going to tell me what you do?”

Holly smiles. “What would be the fun in that?”

“Maybe I’ll unwrap that secret like a bow with my tongue.”

Her green eyes sparkle as she leans forward, showing me a bit of her cleavage. “You could try, Noel.”

I reach under the table, placing a hand on her knee. “If I didn’t want you to have stamina, I’d insist on skipping dinner.”

“Are you impatient?”

“To taste you? Yes, Holly, I am.”
