Deck The Halls

by Shashauna P. Thomas

  “This is the first time I placed an order with her. But if I like the things I ordered as much as I think I will, I’ll probably become a steady customer,” Gloria replied while pressing the doorbell. Jake didn’t say it, but if he got to see her in Sally’s sexy creations, he would be more than happy to spend his entire paycheck on her next order. Within moments, Sally opened the door.

  “Gloria, hello. I know you’ve been trying to call me all day, but I’ve been so busy today with other clients I didn’t have a chance to check all of my messages and get back to anyone. Besides Valentine’s Day, Christmas is my most hectic season. I’m glad you were able to make it after all. I know how work can keep you busy.” Sally droned on and on as she closed the front door behind them and led them into her infamous parlor. Jake smiled as he imagined Gloria calling Sally all day trying to cancel her appointment just so neither he or Jason would have to accompany her here. “And even better that you brought your boyfriend along to see how they fit. I always like the opinion of men when it comes to my creations.”

  “Well I’m happy to be here,” Jake said.

  “I bet you are young man!” Sally lightly slapped his shoulder as she gestured for him to take a seat on one of her sofas. Then she crossed the room and dug a blue plastic bag out of the pile she had lined up against the wall. She checked the name tag to make sure she’d chosen the right one. “Ah, here you go. The outfits you selected are all in here. There is a bathroom over there for you to change. And just come on out once you’re ready for us to inspect it.”

  Gloria took the offered bag and nodded before heading to the bathroom. Sally offered Jake something to drink, but he wasn’t thirsty. All he wanted to see was what goodies his sexy little Gloria had selected for herself. He watched as Sally poured herself a glass of iced tea before she made herself comfortable on the sofa next to him. Sally was only a couple of years older than Jake, but the aura she gave off was one of a mature motherly figure. She even looked the part with her blond shoulder length hair, plain Jane clothes, average height, and warm genuine smile. Even stepping inside her house reminded Jake of visiting his grandmother with its classic furnishings and the lingering smell of gingerbread cookies. Everything about her screamed soccer mom. Not the creator of the sexiest and tantalizing lingerie in town. It was a good thing he’d declined that drink, because he most likely would’ve choked on it. He almost choked on his tongue a few minutes later when Gloria came back into the parlor wearing a white lace spaghetti strap camisole and with matching cheekies. The form fitting material clung to each and every curve. As Sally inspected her work, she asked Gloria to turn around and it gave Jake an excellent view of how the bottoms clung to her ass.

  “I think the fit is great. What do you think Jake?”

  “It’s perfect.” No other words would come to Jake to describe how Gloria looked in that outfit.

  “Great. Go try on one of the others,” Sally said as she gestured for Gloria to go change. Jake wondered exactly how many she had in that blue bag. Then all thought ceased as Gloria came back in the room wearing a black satin bra, matching thong, and a short black lace skirt. “This is one of my favorites.”

  “It’s definitely one of mine,” Jake said while trying to readjust the hard on in his pants.

  “I think a black garter and thigh high stockings would go perfect with this. Don’t you think?” Jake nodded. If he’d even tried to speak he would’ve just embarrassed himself. “Now turn around,” Sally instructed. Gloria once again turned her back to them and Jake prayed he didn’t cum in his pants. He’d never forgive himself. “Great. Go try on the last one.”

  Jake was happy to hear there was only one more to go. He really didn’t know how much more of this he could take without jumping Gloria in Sally’s parlor. Then his willpower was once again tested as Gloria came out into the parlor in the last outfit. He wondered if she’d left the sexiest for last on purpose.

  “Please tell me that’s my last minute Christmas gift,” Jake said as he took in the red lace strapless bustier with matching lace boy shorts. It had red satin ribbon laced up the back and small ribbon bows on the outside of each leg.

  “I think they all look great and the fit is perfect, but what do you think?” Sally asked Gloria.

  “I love them. I like the way they look and they feel great. Much more comfortable then I thought they’d be,” Gloria replied as she ran her hands over the lace bustier. Jake knew she had no clue what that simple motion did to him, but she was going to find out as soon as they got back to her apartment. His restraint when it came to her was little to begin with and taking him lingerie shopping broke the last thread he’d been hanging onto.

  “Gloria, I don’t mean to rush you, but we do have to get going,” Jake said. Gloria nodded then hurried off to the bathroom to change back into her clothes. “Sally, you are a genius.”

  “Thank you very much, Jake. And please do let me know what your brother thinks of the outfits as well,” Sally replied before taking a sip of her iced tea. It didn’t surprise him in the least that she’d heard the rumors and guessed correctly. That he and his brother would both reap the benefits of her hard work. He also noticed there was no condemnation for their lifestyle choice in her voice. Jake liked the older woman. Anyone who made a living creating sexy lingerie for people had to be one hell of a woman herself.

  “No problem. He’ll probably come by personally to thank you after he’s seen them.” They shared a long laugh while waiting for Gloria to come back out.

  “Okay, I’m ready,” Gloria said as she came back into the parlor once more fully dressed with the blue plastic bag in her hand.

  “Alright my dear. Feel free to come by anytime to order more items,” Sally said as she walked them both to the front door.

  “Don’t worry. We will. And next time, we’ll bring my brother along,” Jake responded before Gloria had a chance to. Then twining her arm around his, he almost dragged her all the way to her apartment. He swore he heard Sally’s laughter behind them as they walked away. He bet she knew exactly what Jake had in mind once he had Gloria alone in her apartment.

  “Jake? Where’s the fire?” Gloria finally said. She sounded slightly winded and it was then that Jake remembered that she was smaller than him with a shorter leg span and thus she had to run to keep up with his pace. He was tempted to tell her it was in his pants but figured that might sound crude. Instead he stopped long enough to grip both of her shoulders and pull her in for a soul searing kiss. He felt her body instantly relax into his as Jake inserted his tongue into her mouth. He only broke the kiss when they both needed to come up for air.

  “I need you, Gloria. Right now.” That was all the explanation he was able to give, but he knew she understood exactly what he meant. Luckily they were only a few steps away from the door to her ground floor apartment. Gloria stood in front of him and began struggling with her keys to open the door while Jake’s front covered her back. He began massaging her breasts through her dress shirt. His fingers caressed her nipples. Jake was sure Gloria felt his erection poking into her ass. “Hurry up and open the door, sweetheart. I’d like our first time in a bed but if I have to wait much longer it’ll be against your front door.” The little gasp Gloria made told Jake she understood he was completely serious.

  “I’m trying,” she said sounding just as breathless as he felt. Two seconds later she finally got the door unlocked. As soon as she had the door open, Jake turned Gloria around and easily picked her up. Gloria automatically wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. He continued to kiss her while supporting her bottom with one hand and grabbing her keys out of the door with the other. Jake began walking into her darkened apartment. She giggled into his kiss as he almost slipped on some paper lying on the floor. In the dark, he couldn’t tell what it was and at the moment, he could care less. “You can let me down if I’m too heavy.”

  “Are you kidding? You’re perfect,” he said as he took sipping kisses at her lips. He
’d been to her apartment earlier in the week with her when she’d come to pick up her things. Unwaveringly, he walked through her apartment and headed straight for her bedroom. Only releasing her to fall down on her queen bed. He reached behind him to turn on the light in the bedroom. He didn’t want to miss seeing an inch of Gloria’s glorious body as he made love to her. “I want to see every inch of your beautiful skin right now. So I’d suggest you start undressing unless you want me to rip that nice shirt of yours off your body.” That was the only warning Jake gave her as he began undoing his own clothing.

  “Jake, are you sure we should really go there?” Gloria sounded breathless and preoccupied. He watched the passion in her eyes build as Jake continued to strip naked before her. To prove his point, he gripped the top of her shirt and tore it open as if it were nothing. All her buttons went scattering in different directions. The next instant he was laying on top of her still half dressed in his uniform. He’d gotten his shirt off and the pants undone, but they were still on. As well as his boxers and shoes. He continued to kiss Gloria while struggling with her to take her blouse the rest of the way off. She wore a pale blue lace bra and he couldn’t wait to find out if the underwear she wore matched. He sat back on his knees and undid the zipper on the side of her skirt before lifting her legs to pull the loose skirt off. He tossed the skirt aside and kissed the inside of her legs as his fingers tucked under the matching panties.

  “You don’t know how long I’ve wanted this. How long I’ve wanted to make you mine.” Gloria began to shiver as he finally pulled her underwear free of her legs. “Undo your bra for me.”

  His voice sounded gravelly and he knew it. This was their first time together and he was trying to hold himself back to make sure she found her pleasure first, but he didn’t know how much longer he could hold on. If she didn’t take her bra off, he might rip it off her and that was a shame as it was a really pretty bra. As caught up in the moment as Jake was Gloria did as he said and before she could toss the loose bra aside Jake was on top of her sucking her breasts into his mouth in turn.

  He finally managed to finish undressing though it took him longer then it would normally because he couldn’t stop touching and kissing Gloria everywhere he could. Once he was completely naked and cradled between her legs, he remembered something that momentarily stopped him dead in his tracks. He didn’t have any rubbers on him. He loved the idea of Gloria pregnant with the next generation of McCoy, but not before he knew she was committed to him and his brother for the long haul. “Please tell me you have condoms somewhere around here?”

  Gloria giggled at the desperation in his voice as she shook her head no. “I don’t have condoms, but I’m clean and I took my six month birth control shot two months ago.”

  Jake thanked his lucky stars and continued ravishing her where he’d left off. As they kissed, Jake rubbed his erection against the lips of her pussy. He felt how wet she was. Each time they rubbed against each other his shaft became further drenched in her cream. He reached down between them with one hand and rubbed the tip of his cock back and forth against her clit. She moaned and her body almost came up off the bed. Holding her hips still, he did it a few more times before lining up his cock with her entrance.

  “Oh…Jake…Please!” Gloria begged and she didn’t have to a second time. Jake slowly began to thrust inside her. She grabbed the bed sheets and screamed in pleasure as Jake continued forward. Not stopping until he was all the way in. They both gave deep sighs of pleasure once he was embedded fully inside her all the way to his root.

  He stayed still for a moment allowing her inner walls time to adjust to his size. Besides the fact that Gloria was tight he knew his dick was above average. His past lovers often commented on how difficult it was for them to handle such a large penis. Jake was willing to wait a little longer for her to adjust but then Gloria started moving her pelvis in small circles. He groaned as he pulled his dick out almost to the tip before thrusting all the way back in. Gloria felt like heaven as her inner walls massaged his shaft. He sat back on his haunches, looped Gloria’s legs over his arms, held her hips, and watched as his shaft tunneled in and out of her pussy. “Damn sweetheart…you feel so good…I could do this for hours.” And Jake meant it.

  “Ahhh…Jake…Oh yes oh!” Gloria screamed as Jake watched her breasts bob freely up and down. He lifted her legs higher to his shoulders, planted his palms flat in the mattress, and leaned forward. In this new position, he continued to pound away inside her pussy. She began screaming louder as this new angle made his shaft rub against her g-spot on every stroke.

  “Oh GOD!...I’m coming…I’m coming!” Gloria screamed seconds before her walls clamped down hard on his dick like a vise. He tried to hold off his own orgasm, but her walls contracting was too much and he began thrusting faster as he rode her hard through both of their releases. The feel of coming inside a woman was new for Jake as he’d never had sex without a condom before. He loved spilling his seed deep inside Gloria. Gloria’s nails dug into Jake’s back and Jake buried his face in her breasts which muffled the sound of his own groans of completion.

  They laid there not moving an inch for at least ten minutes. They were both completely spent. Once Jake had enough energy to move he did for fear he was crushing her with his body weight.

  “Gloria?” Jake said looking at her lying there next to him. Her eyes were closed and there was a look of complete satisfaction on her face.

  “Humm?”

  “You know I love you right?” At his words she finally opened her eyes and turned her head to look him in the face. “I mean more than just a really good friend. You are one of my best friends, but you’re also the woman I love. I’m in love with you and I wanted you to know that I haven’t been pretending to want to be with you. I really do want you to be a part of my life for good.”

  “You’re not just saying this because we just had great orgasms are you?”

  “No, I’m not.” Jake shook his head as he laughed.

  “Jake until they’ve captured Manuel and he’s no longer a threat I can’t commit to a long term relationship.”

  Jake couldn’t help but feel hurt. They’d grown much closer in the last week then they’d been in the last six months. It had been so good at times he could almost forget that there was a madman out there trying to take away his and his brother’s happiness. Before Jake had a chance to say anything Gloria continued.

  “But I want you to know that I do love you too, Jake McCoy. So don’t ever think I take our relationship lightly.” She leaned in and kissed him sweetly, but as always one taste of Gloria was never enough for him. Their sweet kiss soon turned passionate. He knew if this went on for much longer he’d be ready for round two.

  “Jason will be back soon. We better get moving.” He gave her one more quick kiss before he let her escape the bed. He laid there for a while longer as he watched Gloria disappear into the bathroom and soon heard the sound of the shower running. Finally, Jake rose from the bed and began searching among their scattered clothes for his pants to check his cell for his brother’s call.

  When he saw that Jason hadn’t called, he began grabbing his clothes and quickly redressed. Suddenly thirsty Jake wondered out into the living room and headed for the kitchen and began turning on lights as he went. With the light on, he noticed the blue shopping bag from Sally’s lying on the floor near the front door. So that was where Gloria dropped it when they first came in. Smiling to himself Jake detoured from the kitchen and went to pick up the bag. Once he picked it up, he saw a folded piece of paper on the floor under it.

  “You must be what I tripped on,” Jake said to himself as he picked up the paper as well.

  Jake read the name on the outside of the folded paper and was confused as to why it was in her house. Then he unfolded the paper and read the message inside. So focused on the note in his hands he hadn’t heard the shower shut off or the bathroom door open. “What do you have there?” Gloria’s voice snapped him out of it and
he looked up to see her wrapped in a short robe and her hair still wet from her shower fell straight down her back. She looked beautifully at peace and he really didn’t want to ruin her moment of post orgasmic serenity, but he knew she deserved to know.

  “Before you joined the witness protection program, what was your name?” He could tell his question had kind of caught her off guard, but she readily answered anyway.

  “Gladys Cruz.” Jake was now kicking himself for not asking his father for the file the marshals had faxed over so he could have studied it personally by now. Instead he and Jason had been more focused on keeping Gloria safe and happy. More than researching for themselves and going off the information their father passed on to them. “Why?” she asked.

  “Because this note was slipped under your door and it’s addressed to Gladys.” He saw Gloria’s face instantly change to one of fear. He hated to do this to her but she deserved to know. “I think it’s from Manuel Ortiz.”

  Deck The Halls

  Chapter Seven

  Between Jason and Jake, Jason was usually the one who did the shopping. Mostly because he was the one with the most patience to deal with crowds, long lines, and rude workers who could not care less if they were helpful or if you found everything alright. That Friday however Jason had very little patience for any of the other holiday shoppers. They all seemed determined to make his shopping trip take forever. Jason knew he was only annoyed because he was hoping to get everything they needed done in record time. So he’d make it back to Sally’s before Gloria was finished trying on whatever pieces of sexy lingerie she’d ordered. But half an hour into the grocery shopping and surrounded by what seemed like the whole damn town Jason knew there wasn’t a chance in hell he’d make it back in time. That is unless Gloria ordered like fifteen different outfits. Damn, sometimes Jake had all the luck.
