Page 153 of A Very Naughty Christmas

Kendra blinked, and then smiled brightly. “I’ll miss your meatloaf, Mary.” She skipped from the room, eager to share her good fortune with the rest of her coworkers.

Epilogue

Kendra sat with Derek’s mother in front of the roaring fire, enjoying the play of the light against the four stockings hanging from the mantel.

They’d come to spend Christmas with Derek’s parents and she’d been welcomed with open arms. Margaret had a stocking for her already with her name printed on it. Kendra had a family again.

It was hard to believe that her newfound happiness was due to a freak winter storm. She had the man of her dreams. A new family and a secret, Kendra smiled to herself and patted her still flat tummy.

She thought of the little pair of booties she’d wrapped and put under the tree for Derek. It was a special Christmas in more ways than one.

“When are you going to tell Derek, dear?” her mother-in-law asked curiously.

Kendra looked at her in surprise. “How did you know?”

“A mother always knows, dear. Keep that in mind when trying to keep secrets from me,” Margaret said with a twinkle in her eyes.

Kendra laughed and got up to hug her, then whispered, “He has a very special present under the tree.”

“What are you two whispering about in here?” Derek’s father asked suspiciously. “I won’t have any shenanigans from either of you. Remember your mother is still recovering.”

“Oh, pooh, Harry, I’m fine!” his wife exclaimed with a frown.

“Don’t you get sassy with me, little girl,” Harry admonished firmly.

“Get a room, you two!” Derek said with a blush.

“Derek!” Kendra said, swatting his midriff.

“You best watch yourself too, young lady,” he said with a grin.

She rolled her eyes… apparently it was going to be a very spanky Christmas.

The End

Kept for Christmas

Prologue

Eliot held Raina’s arms up high over her head, his body pinning her against the wall. His male scent assaulted her senses, a mixture of cinnamon and citrus, a heady combination that left her reeling with desire. His lips moved next to her ear, grazing her skin and igniting her flesh with a fiery passion. Moaning, she leaned into him as he began to whisper, his voice hot and heavy with need for her.

“Such a naughty little girl you’ve been. You’ve left me little choice but to bare that disobedient bottom of yours and give you a paddling you’ll remember.”

“Promises, promises, Dr. Knight,” she purred, feeling her thighs begin to tremble with excitement. A tiny smirk edged the corners of her lips as she hopelessly tried to keep her expression serious and contrite.

“Talking back already? You never learn your lesson, do you?” he growled, his tone taking a decidedly darker turn. Grinning, he pressed his hips into her stomach and she squirmed with lust when she felt his long length press up against her body.

Her skin heated to a feverish level. She took a deep, but shaky breath.

“Into my office, young lady. It’s time I took care of your naughty behavior, once and for all.”

He slowly released her from his steady hold, allowing her feet to return to the tile floor beneath her. Even though her legs felt like jelly, she made her way out of the sitting room and into his office. She knew she was about to experience a trip over his lap, and her backside tingled. She couldn’t wait. She loved when he took the lead, adored when he forced her to submit to him, and most of all, cherished how he made her feel special every day. He wanted her, desired her body and best of all, loved her completely for who she was, despite all of her flaws.

She looked around his office, taking in the familiar leather couch, his massive cherry wood desk, the cabinets that hid some of her favorite toys, and she took a deep breath. Holding her hands to her belly, she tried to calm the somersaulting butterflies that seemed to have taken up permanent residence there. She wrung her hands as her stern, yet loving professor took a seat on the loveseat before her. His shadowed eyes found hers and his eyebrows lifted expectantly. She knew what he desired and she didn’t want to disappoint him.
