Not like…completely off the belt. That would have been a longfall.

She just fell over on the belt, clutching her right calf.

“Ahhh!” she screamed as the belt carried her back towards thebanana king. “Chastity, save me!”

I mean…Falling into the banana king’s arms and havinghim ravish her body wouldn’t really be the worst thing to happen to a girl. AndGhostie was moments away from giving me my first orgasm of the evening. But Ashneeded me.

But also…my orgasm. I pressed against the present in front ofme, matching Ghostie’s thrusts.

“Just get up and run!” I yelled.I’m so fucking close.

“I can’t!” she yelled back.

Gah, fine!

I slipped away from Ghostie and ran to the three levers. Ipushed the second one, but it wouldn’t budge.

“Hurry!” yelled Ash as her head got closer and closer to theedge of the belt.

I pushed it again. “It’s stuck!”

“AHHHHHHHHHH!” Her head went off the end of the belt. If Ididn’t stop this thing in about two seconds, Ash was gonna fall headfirst rightinto the banana king’s arms.

Chapter 14 – Santa’s Workshop

Christmas Eve, 2013

I karate kicked the lever.

The conveyor belt stoppedjustin time to keep Ashfrom falling off. And then it started moving in the opposite direction.

Ash was safe. Now I just had to figure out how she was gonnaget off that belt before it took her through the brick wall and into Santa’sworkshop.

“Ash!” I yelled. “When the belt gets close to that big present,jump off!” It would cushion her fall.

“I can’t!” she yelled back.

“Yes you can!”

“No I can’t! My leg stopped working.” She was still flat onher back clutching at her calf as the conveyor belt carried her away.

Shit.“Slavanka, come help me get Ash.”

She nodded and pulled away from Tommy. And then we bothsprinted towards a ladder going up the side of one of the giant presents. Therewere more presents stacked on top of the first layer, so we had to navigatethrough a bit of a maze, but eventually we got to where the belt passed closeto the presents.

The gap looked a lot bigger up here than it had from theground.

I suddenly had a flashback to earlier in the night when I’d beencrawling between the balconies.

There was no time to dilly dally, though. Because Ash had alreadypassed us and was getting closer to the brick wall every second. From up here Icould see some sort of sorting machine inside that did not look human-friendly.

While I was looking at that, Slavanka sailed effortlesslythrough the air and landed square on the belt.

“Easy, easy,” she said, waving me towards her.

Here goes nothing…

I stepped back a few feet to get more of a running start. Andthen I went for it.
