Page 9 of His Christmas Wife

Fulfilling their duty, Milady’s adoring subjects fell into a long, winding line.

“Are you ready for this?” Frost asked.

“I am.” Because it meant Kaylee was drawing closer to the end of the time she was forced to spend with him. Even though she appreciated the chance to participate in the event, she’d like it a whole lot more if she had been following Master Denton or anyone else for that matter.

Once the first person arrived to see Santa, time passed in a blur. Not surprising her, half-naked women squirmed around on Frost’s lap, insisting they’d been naughty, not nice. More than one asked for a spanking.

While he was entertaining yet another barely dressed woman, Abigail popped over.

“How’s it going?”

Kaylee scowled in Mr. Ho-ho-ho’s direction. “He’s terrible at work. But dealing with him being half-naked and watching people fawn over him, feeding his ego?” Exaggeratedly she rolled her eyes. “I keep focusing on the fact I get a week of vacation out of putting up with him.”

Abigail offered a hug of support. With a shake of her head, she skipped the opportunity to collect a gift and instead walked toward the exit.

Kaylee continued to make small talk with attendees waiting for their chance to visit Santa.

When she noticed Maddie standing in line next to Master Zander, Kaylee almost dropped the candy cane she was holding. Why on earth was her sweet friend with the original grinch? The night had become some kind of carnival funhouse.

When it was Maddie’s turn, they hugged.

“Be sure to call me tomorrow.” Maddie took Kaylee’s hands.

Since she was dying to know what was up with Maddie and Master Zander, she definitely would.

“I’ll be at the shelter for some of the day, but I want to hear from you.”

Kaylee glanced over her shoulder at Evan before nodding her agreement.

Most Dominants had stepped aside while their submissives chatted with Santa, but Zander possessively stayed close to Maddie. Maybe he didn’t like Frost very much either. Perhaps the grinch was smarter than Kaylee thought.

“Ho, ho, ho!” Frost greeted Maddie. “Have you been a good girl?”

“Always!” Maddie made a small circle over her head, indicating a halo.

Kaylee laughed. Her friend definitely had a naughty side, no matter what she wanted people to believe.

As if proving it, she licked her candy cane in a very suggestive way.

Frost gave her a present, and then she smiled and rejoined Zander while Kaylee beckoned the next person over.

With each passing minute, the club became more animated as scenes resumed. Everyone had paid homage to Mistress Aviana, and there were only a couple of stragglers waiting to see Santa.

After Aviana was assisted from the dais, she thanked the members of her court. Destiny hurried from the dungeon, and Tore—with his shoulders pulled back—strode down an aisle, surveying the scenes.

Volunteers set to work, removing chairs and moving the platform against a wall. Funny how many times she’d been at the club without noticing all the planning and details that went into making everything run smoothly.

When the last person left Frost’s presence, she exhaled. Finally she was free of him. Good riddance for the rest of the weekend.

Before Kaylee could escape, Mistress Aviana all but floated over, her slaves trailing behind.

“You both did a wonderful job. Thank you.”

Frost stood. “My pleasure, Milady.”

Kaylee dropped a small curtsey.

The owner moved on, leaving Kaylee alone with her Santa boss, and the air became supercharged. Suddenly nervous, she tucked her hands behind her back so she didn’t betray herself by wringing them together. “Good night, Mr. Frost.”
