"Only for you, sweetheart." I mean every fucking word. This woman does things to me, makes me feel things I haven't felt in centuries. It's not just about the sex, though that's fucking phenomenal. It's her. Her strength, her resilience, her fucking attitude.

She props herself up on my chest, her blue eyes sparkling with mischief. "You know, for a big, scary alien, you're actually quite charming."

I raise an eyebrow. "Charming? Me?"

She nods, tracing patterns on my chest. "Yep. In a gruff, alpha-hole kind of way."

I chuckle, the sound rumbling through my chest. "Alpha-hole, huh? I think I like that."

She grins, leaning down to press a soft kiss to my lips. "I thought you might."

I deepen the kiss, my tongue sweeping into her mouth. She moans, her body melting against mine. Fuck, I can't get enough of this woman. I can feel my cock hardening again, ready for round... fuck, I've lost count.

She pulls back, her eyes dark with desire. "Again?" she asks, a playful smirk on her lips.

I flip her onto her back, my body covering hers. "Again," I growl, nipping at her neck.

She giggles, her legs wrapping around my waist. "Merry Christmas to me," she sighs, her eyes fluttering closed as I thrust into her.

And as I lose myself in her again, I know one thing for certain. This is the best fucking Christmas I've ever had.

CHAPTER 25

MEL

Isnuggle closer into Krampus's chest, his blue fur tickling my bare skin. My body still tingles from our previous rounds of lovemaking, but I'm not done with him yet. Not by a long shot.

"Someone's insatiable tonight," he rumbles against my ear.

"Can you blame me?" I trace a finger down his chest. "You're pretty amazing."

"Speaking of amazing..." His voice drops lower. "There's something we need to address first."

"Oh?"

"You've been very naughty, freeing dangerous criminals from their cryo-pods."

I laugh. "Are you seriously bringing that up n-"

My words cut off in a surprised squeal as he flips me over his lap in one fluid motion. His massive hand pins both my wrists behind my back.

"Krampus!"

"Actions have consequences, little human." The playful growl in his voice sends shivers down my spine.

His palm connects with my bottom - not hard enough to hurt, just enough to make me gasp. The next swat draws out a giggle.

"Is this supposed to be punishment?" I wiggle against him. "Because it's not very effective."

"No?" Another gentle spank. "Should I try harder?"

"Maybe…"

Krampus spanks my bottom just hard enough to sting, but instead of lifting his hand away, he keeps it where it is. I squirm in his lap, a gasp escaping my lips as his fingers trail lower, teasing the sensitive skin of my inner thighs.

"Krampus, what are you—?" My words catch in my throat as his fingers find their target, sliding along the wet heat of my pussy.

"Shh, little human," he murmurs, his voice a deep rumble that vibrates through me. "You're at my mercy now."
