“What did you practice with?” I asked. A dozen different visions floated through my mind. There were endless possibilities of the mischief that my mate could have gotten up to while I was away.

He shrugged one shoulder. “A certain… toy. I found it. It’s mine. It’s perfect.”

A low rumble sounded in my throat, and I reached to adjust myself through my red leather pants. Percy’s hand got there first.

“Let me take care of you, Nick.” Percy opened the pants and tugged them down, and they slid off easy enough, thank goodness. “Commando? On that long journey?”

“I have to keep the sleigh light, mate. Every little bit counts.”

He tsked and wrapped his hand around the base of my cock. “It must have been a very long, lonely night for you. Working so hard to bring all that pleasure to the naughty adults of the world. You deserve a reward for all your hard work.”

I sucked in a breath. “It was a long night. But I’m home now.”

“You are. I want to show you how excited I am that you are here.” Percy went down on his knees. His hands held the tops of my thighs, and his mouth closed over my cock. He swallowed it down until it hit the back of his throat. I expected him to sputter, but instead, he moaned around my length like it was the most delicious treat.

His tongue swiped up the length, then back down again. His spit drooled from his mouth and dripped on to the tip. He used his hands to coat my cock. Then he was working me with both hands and his mouth over the tip.

“Oh fuck, Percy.”

My hand cupped the back of his head. He bobbed up and down as he drew my orgasm closer. The warmth of his mouth and the grip of his hands on my thighs sent my sensations into overdrive.

“Percy, I’m going to cum.” I gripped his hair gently, ready to pull him off in case he didn’t want to swallow my load, but he held on. He took my cock in his mouth and cupped my balls with his hand. His moans rivaled mine, and I wasn’t sure if he wasn’t coming right along with me.

When his cheeks hollowed and he worked his way up and down my shaft, I couldn’t hold back any longer. I grunted as I came, my hips jerking. He rode each buck of my hips as I fucked his face. Snowflakes danced like bright stars behind my eyes. My head tipped back, and my arms went limp at my sides.

“Holy peppermint sticks, that was… that was… fucking hell, Percy. I think I’m dead.”

He laughed and sat back on his heels. He wiped his mouth with the trim of my jacket.

“I’ll apologize to laundry tomorrow,” he said.

I chuckled. “The suit is covered in soot and a whole lot of other stuff after my journey. I doubt they’ll notice a little cum.”

“Well, there might be a little cum on you, but there is a lot in my pants.”

I pulled him onto my lap, and he rested his head against my chest. My little mate fit so perfectly in my arms.

“Thank you, mate. That was very unexpected.”

I felt his grin against my chest. “You’re welcome. That was my first time, so I hope that it was satisfactory.”

“Oh, it was. There are no complaints from me.”

We sat that way a while longer, letting our breath return to normal. Finally, I looped my arms under Percy’s legs and lifted him up. “We need to head back to our room and sleep. Christmas morning will be here soon.”

He lifted his gaze to me and cupped my face. His fingertips touching over my beard. “Christmas is here.”

Chapter 13

Percy

Hours later, Nick and I roused from our brief nap. The sun was shining outside, though that didn’t exactly tell me what time it was. I knew we hadn’t slept long, and really, it didn’t matter. We had no place to be and nothing on our agenda for several days. Nick needed to recover from his long journey.

I lay my head against his bare chest, my fingers weaving into his thick chest hair. His heart thumped steadily against my ear as he let out a contented sigh. This was life, just being with your mate and enjoying the simple things.

“I can tell you’re awake,” he said. His chest rumbled as he spoke.

“I am, but that doesn’t mean we have to get up.” I hadn’t been hiding the fact that I was awake, more that I wanted to savor those glorious few minutes when you first woke from the most amazing dream only to discover that it wasn’t a dream after all, it was your life.
