Four days until Christmas. Four days before I leave here. I was seated outside, wearing a grey sweater and black sweatpants.I looked at the notification that popped up on the screen of my phone and tapped on it."Babe, when are you coming?"It was from Charlie."I'll be back on Christmas, hopefully," I replied, then turned my head towards the sound of approaching footsteps."Bitch! Hopefully? Annie misses you?""Are you busy, Amanda?" It was Charlotte's voice. I exited the messenger app and turned to her with a smile."No, no," I smiled, letting out a breath of cold air, and she smiled back, taking a seat next to me."Jack told me that you would be leaving on Christmas Day," she raised a brow at me and crossed her legs."Yes," I chuckled and looked down at my phone. "I have to go back to my family," I added, and she sighed."I wish you could stay for Christmas and New Year. It would mean a lot to me," she begged, and I shook my head slightly."I'm sorry, Charlotte. I have to get back
"Mom told me that your family would be coming here for Christmas?" Jack raised a brow as he asked."Yeah" I chuckled lowly and rubbed my hands together. We were both seated outside and the night was dark with the only sourced light being the bulb that hanged about us and the moon."Are you cold?" Jack asked and placed his hand on top of mine. My body instantly warmed up but I nodded anyway."Come," He said, tapping his thigh with his eyes piercing into mine. I could already feel the heat building up in my stomach as my clothed skin touched his lap. He took a blanket that was folded on the other chair and threw it over usHe relaxed back in the chair, his eyes gazing into mine and I swallowed and shut my eyes with a smile. "Why are you staring at me like that, Jack?" I asked, opened my eyes and looked at him."Like what?" He asked back with both eyebrow raised and I rolled my eyes to which he chuckled.His hand cupped my cheeks and he pulled my body to his, my head resting between he c
We were a panting mess. The cold was long forgotten as our bodies were covered with beams of sweat. "Fuck," Jack muttered, his hand pressing my hips closer to him.I wrapped my hand around his neck and slowly, my fingers moved up his jaw and I slipped my thumb finger into his mouth. His tongue wrapped around it, sucking on it as my walls creamed his cock.I brought my head to his and pulled my thumb out of his mouth and ran it across his lips. "Tell me, Jack. How did that feel?" His eyes and he brought his lips to mine. "God Amanda, you will be the death of me." He sighed, resting his head backwards and I chuckled."We should put on our clothes before someone else finds us." I groaned, getting up and feeling empty once more.Jack hummed, and pulled his trouser up while I went to pick up my discarded clothes. I shivered as the cold bite into my skin. Jack walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Let's go inside" He murmured and kissed the side of my cheek. "Okay," I l
"What do you mean you can't make it!"My legs moved across the rugged floor as I paced back and forth. Fuck, how could this be happening now."I'm sorry Amanda. The roads are blocked as the police are trying to catch the criminals. I'm sure by tomorrow it would be open again."I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. "Okay, but please try and make it here tomorrow," I pleaded over the phone."Yes, yes. I promise you will see us tomorrow," Charlie promised and I released another sigh and moved the phone away from my ear.Jack walked out of the bathroom with a small towel on his head. "What's wrong?" He questioned, his hands opened to me and I melted in them."It's my family. They can't make it today." I muttered, tightened my hands around him."Why?" He asked and I raised my head to look at him. "Charlie said there are some criminals running around town and all the roads have been blocked," I sighed and moved away from him.He pulled me back into his arms and ran his hands through my
I opened the door, and there he was—Jack, looking at me as if I held the stars in my eyes. His hair neatly trimmed, the absence of his usual five o'clock shadow making his features even more striking."God, Amanda, you are beautiful," he breathed, pulling me close by the waist. His eyes, deep and full of emotion, met mine. There was a single rose in his hand, and he brought it between us. I took it from him and locked eyes with him."Thank you," I whispered, my face heating up at his intense gaze.When we got down from the stairs, there was no one in sight, and I breathed a sigh of relief.I shivered as the cold bit through my skin. Jack quickly pulled off his jacket and draped it around my shoulders."I really should have thought about the cold when I bought the dress," he said, rubbing his hand at the back of his neck. I took his cheek in my hand and ran my thumb across it."No, it's perfect. I love it, Jack, thank you," I said all in a breath, and his eyes softened. He took my hand
Christmas.I rolled over to the side of the bed, and my breath hitched at the thought of the holiday. My left hand dangled on the edge, and my eyes zoomed to the bag that was on the floor.I quietly took the sheet off my body and walked over to the bag. A smile spread on my lips as I hurriedly put it on, entered the bathroom, and brushed my teeth. I quickly walked over to Jack, who stirred in the bed, and crawled over his legs that were covered by the blanket.His eyes opened, and I bit my lip as they moved over the thin piece of clothing that covered me. What I had on was a simple seductive one-piece ensemble in red and white lace, paired with white stockings covered in Christmas patterns."Good morning," I breathed out, and his eyes moved to meet mine."Jesus Christ, Amanda," he whispered, resting his upper body on his elbow. I leaned forward with a small smile playing on my lips."Merry Christmas, baby."I could feel him swelling underneath me, and my legs curled at the thought of
I walked into the kitchen and instantly smelled the delicious Christmas food. Surprisingly, the room was busy with people preparing for the holiday. Bertha, of all people, stood near the counter, sipping on a glass of juice. As our eyes met, she put down her drink and began to walk towards me.I released a sigh as I already knew what was to come. My body tensed, and my eyes widened as her arms wrapped around me. "Merry Christmas, Amanda," she said, a grin on her face."Wh-?"I looked at her in confusion, my eyebrows furrowed as I wondered what she was trying to get at. Bertha never liked me, so why was she being nice to me now?"Would you look at that," Charlotte walked over to us with a smile. My face softened at how happy she looked. "My daughter-in-law is finally getting along." She placed her hand on her chest and looked at us happily.Before I could say anything, Bertha's phone rang, and she excused herself. I raised a brow as I watched her walk away, skeptical of what she was pl
"Annie!" My little sister rushed into my arms, and I held her tight. "I miss you," we both said and laughed. When I looked up, Mom was standing behind Charlie with her eyes fixed on the mansion. I walked over to Charlie, who was grinning at me and wiggling his eyebrows.I laughed and hugged him tight. "I miss you so much, Charlie," he whispered in my ear. "Missed you too."Mom only spared me a glance and turned to Jack, who was watching us. She smiled brightly and stretched her hand to him."It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Reynolds." He smiled at her, and she waved her hand. "Oh no. Just call me Mary-Ellen.""Of course," he said with a grin that would melt any woman's heart. But definitely not hers."Please come in," he added, taking one of the bags from the truck and into the mansion. Charlotte's heels clicked as she walked to us. "Oh my," she smiled, walking faster."I am so glad you were able to make it!" She clapped her hands. She wrapped her arms around my mom, shocking her. "
