Holly shed her fancy clothes as soon as she got home and put on her favorite pajamas. She could still feel Cole’s kiss on her lips. She couldn’t believe he kissed her. She hadn’t been kissed in…well awhile, and certainly not like that. And then she ran out on him! What was wrong with her? She was going to have to start drinking the terrible coffee in the break room. She certainly couldn’t face him after that.

She needed something to distract herself. She glanced at the clock, it was after midnight.Fuck it,she thought and pulled out the next chocolate from the advent calendar. Hands still shaking slightly, Holly unwrapped the candy and popped it in her mouth. She moaned in delight as creamy mousse spilled onto her tongue. She smoothed out the wrapper to read out her next task:Watch a Christmas Movie.

She looked at the clock again, it was really too late to start a movie. She really should just go to bed. She could always watch one in the morning.

Holly felt her phone buzz.

Open that lipstick tonight xoxo

It was from Miriam, of course. What did she mean, open that lipstick? The silly oversized thing she won from Dirty Santa? Holly fished it out of her purse and took off the cap.

Grazing her finger on the pink stick, she was surprised to feel the inside was a soft silicone instead of creamy product. She flipped the tube to look at the bottom and saw a button she hadn’t seen earlier. She pressed it. The silicone “lipstick” immediately started buzzing. Holly felt her face flush all over again. Of course, Miriam had given her a vibrator. That must be why she had taken Holly’s gift while they played and replaced it with the one she had brought. She was ridiculous.

Holly owned a vibrator, of course. It was super basic, but it got the job done. This one though, Holly found when she pushed the button again, it changed vibration patterns. The next one had more of a pulsing sensation. Upon further investigation, she discovered it had five different vibration settings in total.Interesting,Holly thought as she brought it to her room to put in her bedside table with her other vibrator and her dildo.

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Holly climbed straight into bed. She was tired, coming down from all the alcohol, and just wanted to sleep off the embarrassment; however, as she laid there she found she could not sleep. She looked at her phone for a while before she found her eyes wandering to her bedside table where she had put the new toy. She was still feeling heated from that searing kiss.I guess since it’s here,Holly thought to herself,it can’t hurt to try. Maybe I’ll feel relaxed enough to sleep after an orgasm.

She pulled up her favorite porn site on her phone and scrolled until she found a video caught her eye. It was two busty women and a man who happened to be dressed as sexy elves.Well I am supposed to watch a Christmas movieshe thought to herself. She hit play and reached over to pick up the vibrator.

She slid her underwear and pajama pants off and turned on the vibrator. The first setting offered regular steady vibration so she decided to try the second more pulsing one. She lowered the soft silicone to her clit. She gasped, eyes glued to the screen as the busty brunette ate out the busty blonde while the man fucked her from behind slowly. The vibrator pulsed almost in time with his thrusts. Holly rubbed the vibrator up and down her slit. She shivered at the movement and could feel herself getting wetter.

As the group on screen changed positions, Holly pushed the button to change to the next setting. The pulsing switched to a more staccato beat with steady notes of high vibration. Holly felt like she was already getting close as she watched both women ride the man, the brunette on his face and the blonde on his dick.

Holly wanted more so she sat the phone beside her so she could still listen to the women moan while she grabbed her dildo. It wasn’t a huge one, but it was longer than her fingers. She slid it inside her while continued to feel the vibrations strong on her clit. She pushed the next button. This one created a low buzz that slowly built up in strength before dropping off again, constantly bringing her to the brink but stopping before she could finish. She flipped over so she could continue to watch her video while she rode dildo and ground down onto the vibrator.

Now the brunette sat on the blonde’s face while the man continued to pump into her. Holly watched, close to moaning herself, as the brunette panted and played with her partner’s ample breasts. She pushed the button to the final setting on the vibrator. Now, it gave long notes of high vibration with a beat between them. This was almost too much. She slammed down on the dildo, coming at the same time as the women on the screen.

Holly lay still for a moment recovering before pulling out the dildo. That was the hardest she had ever come. She turned off the video and hurriedly went to the restroom to clean off her toys. When she lay back down, she fell asleep almost instantly.

Chapter 8

“Ugh why are sugar cookies so hard to roll out?” Miriam complained.

Holly suppressed a chuckle as she looked over at her friend who had managed to get flour all in her hair and on her face while she attempted to roll out the dough on her counter. Miriam had never been much of a baker, which was why Holly was so surprised when she announced out of the blue she wanted to have a cookie decorating party at her house.

The day after the party, Miriam had come over to hang out and talk about what had happened. She apologized for inviting Cole and assured her that it probably wasn’t a big deal. Holly was just glad she wouldn’t have to deal with it until after the new year. Her company always gave them the week of Christmas and new year’s off. In the past, Holly had used that time to go visit her mom, but now she just used it to laze around her house.

That was exactly what she had planned on doing this week but the calendar had other ideas. Yesterday it had prompted her to do a Christmas photoshoot. She really didn’t want to leave the house. How was she going to find a photographer to do a photoshoot that day anyway? She decided this one was just too impractical to do. She went to take a shower and when she got out she saw she had a missed call. It was from her friend, Tori, who happened to be a photographer. She had a last minute cancelation in her boudoir marathon she was doing that day. She asked Holly if she wanted to come take the spot, it was already paid for. Holly told her she didn’t have anything to wear for a boudoir shoot. Well the client that cancelled on Tori also ordered a red lace bodysuit through Tori and was supposed to pick it up when she did the shoot. When she called to cancel she told Tori to pass it along to someone else.

Holly told Tori there was no way it would fit. Tori convinced her to just do her hair and make-up and come try it on, if it didn’t fit they’d forget about it. Of course the bodysuit fit Holly perfectly. She did the photoshoot and was surprised at how powerful and sexy she felt during it. She didn’t have all the pictures yet but the ones Tori had sent as a sneak peek that night were incredible. She could scarcely believe it was her in the photos.

The next morning, Holly awoke to a knock at the door. When she opened it there was an Amazon package on her front doorstep. She opened it to find the same bodysuit in black. She had no idea where it could have come from, there was no message inside. This one, too, fit her perfectly.

She went inside and decided to just see what the next chocolate told her to do, choosing to deal with the lingerie later. Today’s wrapper told her to decorate some cookies. That was easy enough, and something she could stay home and do. Then not even an hour later Miriam called with the grand idea to host a cookie decorating party at her house that night, and could Hollypleasecome over early to help her bake the cookies.

So here Holly was now: standing in Miriam’s kitchen helping her friend attempt to make sugar cookies before their other friends arrived.

She considered telling Miriam about the strange things that had been happening lately with the calendar, but she knew it would sound crazy. Everything that had happened so far was normal around Christmas time. It was just a bunch of coincidences that happened to align things on the calendar.

“Ughhh” Miriam groaned as she managed, yet again , to stick half the dough to the rolling pin.

“Here,” Holly took the rolling pin out of Miriam’s hands. “Let me do it.”

“Literally I don’t know what I would do without you.” Miriam walked over to the sink to wash all the flour off her hands.

“Well, probably make terrible cookies.” Holly joked.

Miriam rolled her eyes, “Baking is just not my thing.”
