Page 26 of A Very Fumbling Merry Christmas

“I’m more concerned about the fact that Hunter’s mom hates me. It’s not likely that she didn’t already have a low opinion of me after everything she must have seen in the press. I had one chance to make a good first impression in person, and that just went up in smoke. I’m going to go out on a limb and say she won’t be joining us for the holidays.”

“I wouldn’t sweat it, Faith. She’s always been a bit of a shrew. There’s no love lost between her and Hunter. He won’t give it a second thought. He’ll placate her tonight, and by tomorrow morning, it will be of no concern to him. I promise.”

“I hope so.” I appreciate Coop trying to make me feel better, but I can’t help feeling like I’ve let Hunter down.

Zee wraps her arm around me, squeezing me to her side.

“So viber panties… they actually work?” She gives me a sly wink and instantly lifts my mood.

“Oh my God. Seriously, I might have to buy another pair. So hot. If it were under different circumstances, I’d be down for letting Hunter loose with a remote for my panties.”

“What happened to the ones you were wearing?”

“Hunter ripped them off.”

“Okay, when we get back to the lodge and Coop isn’t listening, I want details.”

Coop feigns being wounded. “Why don’t I get to hear?”

“Because you’re a horndog. This is girl talk, and unless you’ve grown a vagina in the past five minutes, you don’t fall into that category.”

“I’m getting you a pair of those panties, Zee. I like the idea of having a remote for your panties.” He wiggles his eyebrows at her, making her giggle.

“No dice, champ. I wouldn’t trust you with the remote.”

“Why not? You trust me to get you across the finish line in every other way I can think of.”

“We aren’t talking about this right now.”

I still need answers. Tonight has been a colossal clusterfuck, but I can see the funny side of it. After all, I started this wager with Zee’s elf costume. I set the tone, and it came back to bite me in the ass, or should I say vibed me in the vagina?

“What happened to the remote?”

“I don’t know.” Coop and Zee speak in unison. One of them is lying right now, and when I find out which one of them was pressing the buttons, I’m going to enjoy exacting a deliciously dirty revenge.

When we arrive back at the lodge, all I want to do is crawl into the tub and wash off my makeup, the wine I managed to cover myself in when I wrecked the table, and my sticky thighs. Dried semen isn’t the nicest feeling in the world.

Pulling up outside the lodge, I’m relieved to be back in our own quiet space. I wish Hunter didn’t have to stay behind. I’m sure I’ll hear all about the carnage when he gets back. For now, I’m going to enjoy a very long soak in the tub.

Zee still looks absolutely breathtaking, not a hair out of place. She managed to get through the evening without wrecking a dress, getting caught with vibing underwear, and having super loud sex in the hotel. The last part was worth every moment of embarrassment. When Hunter gets lost in the moment, he becomes so dominating, primal, and desperate for the release that only I can give him. It’s a heady feeling—intoxicating and empowering.

As soon as I set foot in the door, I leave Coop and Zee to whatever they’ve got going on and disappear into my room. The tub is every bit as enticing as I imagined on the way home. My muscles ache from orgasm after orgasm. I didn’t realize how tightly I was coiled until now. The water is so hot, it reddens my skin, but it’s also incredibly soothing. I lie back, letting the bubbles wash away tonight’s grime.

After a while, I reach for my phone and pull up the Amazon app. I’m ordering some more of those viber panties. No matter what shenanigans went down tonight, I can’t deny that the vibrating underwear was h-o-t! I ordered some for Zee as a Christmas stocking stuffer! She’ll definitely get a kick out of them.

I let myself wander down the Amazon rabbit hole finding and ordering all kinds of weird and wonderful little inexpensive gifts for Hunter and our friends. My finger hovers over the one-click button on a specific gift set. Coop has gotten away with only cool gifts thus far. He hasn’t endured the same comical humiliation the rest of us have dealt with over the past few weeks. We’re running out of time to drag him down to our level!

The moment I hit ‘buy now’, I feel a pang of guilt, but it’s short-lived. Hunter is going to find this hilarious, and that trumps anything else.

It’s late when he gets back, but I want to hear what happened with his mom. He looks exhausted as he drops down on the bed beside me.

“Hey, love.” He pulls me against his side. “You smell good.”

“I soaked in the tub for a while when I got home. Do you want me to run you a bath?”

“No. I’ll grab a quick shower. I’m too tired, and I just want to get some shuteye before we have to go home tomorrow.” He sounds a little defeated, giving me cause for concern.

“How did it go with your mom?”
