Waiting? It had only been like three minutes. But then Irealized what he was really talking about. He was referring to the banana racethat we’d had at my banana party.

“Hold on,” I said. “What were you three doing at the banana party?You work for the Chadwicks, not the Locatellis.”

“Spying,” said one of them.

That made sense.

“And getting our dicks sucked,” added another. He started topush Ash to her knees. But then we all froze. Because a door had just opened.

“Hide,” whispered Santa.

Chapter 16 – A Super Slutty Sleigh Ride

Christmas Eve, 2013

The Christmas orgy turned into chaos.

Santa dove off his sleigh.

Ghostie balled his fists.

The banana king ducked under his wrapping table.

Slavanka grabbed a pair of scissors and tore them in half tocreate two daggers.

And the banana bros backflipped away from Ash and thenscattered in every direction.

One of them tripped over the first lever as he went.

Every Christmas light in the atrium shut off all at once. Goingfrom staring at a gazillion Christmas lights to no light at all rendered all ofus temporarily blind until our eyes had time to adjust.

But I couldn’t just stand here in the open. I was a sittingduck for whoever had just walked in. I was pretty sure there was an openingbetween two giant presents directly to my right, so I turned in that direction andstarted walking with my hands out in front of me.

It didn’t take long for my hands to collide with a present. ThenI just kept my right hand on the present and started working my way deep intothe maze.

My eyes had just started to adjust to the dark when I roundeda corner and ran into someone.

Shit!

I easily pulled them into a headlock. Which probably meantthey weren’t a threat. And then I realized I could feel Christmas lights andnaked skin pressed up against me.

I let them free and squinted down at them.

“Ash?” I whispered.

“Chastity?” she whispered back. “Thank God it’s you! Ithought I was about to be kidnapped again!” She pulled me into a big hug.

“You’re not getting kidnapped. Don’t worry.” I pulled her betweentwo presents to go deeper into the maze.

“Who are we hiding from?” she asked.

“No idea. But Santa sounded pretty scared. Maybe it’s Krampus,”I joked.

“Krampus?” gasped Ash. “No!” She turned and ran. Butapparently her eyesight hadn’t adjusted very well to the dark yet, because sheran straight into a present.

“Girl, I was joking. It’s probably just a security guarddoing his rounds.”

Ash let out a sigh and leaned back against the present. “Ohthank God. After all the naughty things I’ve done tonight, I’m a goner if Krampusis real. Ah!” She jumped away from the present.
