I’m simply not myself tonight. Between Starla’s bravado and Jolene’s Krampus quest, I’m letting my guard down, not worrying about what anyone, particularly my parents, would think. I’m doing whatever I want.
And maybe it’s about time.
“Everyone’s going crazy for you two. I bet they send that decibel meter off the charts.” the festival staff member says as he lines the Krampuses up next to the stage while the emcee explains the points program for the Krampus tour.
All the towns that have festivals got together to do a points competition to maximize the number of Krampuses at each festival.
Jolene would be much better on stage. “Is there anything I need to do? I'm not really a spotlight kind of girl…” I tell my captor.
“Can I tie you up even more?” His voice is low and gravelly. Is that part of the show?
Holding my wrists up, I ask, “What else?”
“Let me bind your legs.” His fingers wrap around another rope hanging from his waist.
“How will I get on stage?” That’s not really my biggest question.
“I'll carry you.”
Yes!There’s no rational reason I’m letting a stranger bind me in public, but every part of my body wants me to go for it, including my nodding head which gives him the answer.
Krampus kneels in front of me, has me brace my tied hands on his shoulder, then quickly works the rope around my legs. Tight enough to hold, but gentle enough that I can still stand.
He takes my hands, makes sure I’m balanced, then sits back on his heels. “So fucking beautiful.”
Am I supposed to return the compliment or is he admiring his knots? I wouldn’t even know how to compliment Santa’s demon half.Nice horns?
Next thing I know, Krampus effortlessly tosses me over his shoulder and up the stairs we go. On Krampus’ command, a stagehand sets a chair in the middle of the stage.
Krampus spins around a few times, getting the crowd riled, then carefully sets me on my feet. His big hands steady me. There is absolutely nothing I should love about this, but apparently all of the mental prep work I've done for being on stage at the Christmas Cherry Auction has worked because I love this. I love being seen with Krampus. I even love that I'm at his mercy.
I might love it too much.
My thinking is that if a bunch of guys, or even two, buy me in the auction, there's going to be so much going on, I'm just going to have to exist in the moment like I'm doing right now. It's the perfect practice.
It’s disconcerting that my sex tingles in front of the crowd, but for the first time since I can remember, I have no shame. All of the voices that have told me I’m not enough fade away.
The emcee notes the crowd's enthusiasm.
Off to the side, little kids are lined up to sit in Santa’s lap. I pray Santa doesn’t look this way because I’m pretty sure it’s my older stepbrother’s turn in the chair. He would not be happy with me.
Krampus calls to the crowd, “Who's ready to see me punish this naughty girl?”
Krampus sits, leaving me even more visible to Santa. Too late, Santa, who is definitely my brother, turns my way.
I can’t see his expression from this distance and with the white facial hair, but I can practically feel his irritation.
Krampus takes a few seconds to look me up and down before guiding me onto his lap.
This could be a good thing. After my efforts to gain Loren’s interest over the last couple years have only created more distance between us, he has no right to stop me from having fun with another guy… even if thatguyis a Christmas monster and his interest in me is all for show.
Then the first spanking lands. I was not at all prepared for the way it would make me feel.
The spankings break me, particularly while my hot possessive stepbrother is on my mind. All I can do is surrender. Well, I do one other thing… I hope this doesn’t have to end when he takes his costume off.
No! Ugh! I can’t have sex before the auction. That would ruin everything.
“Alright Krampus number four, you've taken this crowd through the roof and moved into first place, but there are a few Krampuses to go. Please exit that direction and let’s see if Krampus number five can top this.”
