“Very nice,” Landon praised, leaning over and sucking one of my nipples into his mouth.
“Oh, God,” I groaned, tipping my head back as sensations erupted throughout my body. His mouth was gentle yet insistent as he steadily worked my nipples into hardened points.
I groaned my disappointment when he pulled back, but he didn’t go far. I watched as Master handed over a set of nipple clamps. I wasn’t sure where they’d found them, but they were obviously meant to be holiday decorations. There were several charms that dangled from the chain.
He fastened them to my nipples, teasing me relentlessly as he did. The pain was intense, but I blocked most of it out, thrilled by the notion of being their holiday decoration. While Landon was fixing the clamps, Ben began draping my body with the long strands of tinsel, affixing one end to my upper arm by circling it and tying it off. The thin pieces of silver tickled my skin.
Although definitely not traditional, it was intensely erotic.
“Spread your legs wide,” Justin instructed, his eyes warm as they caressed my face.
“I’m really the tree, huh?” I grinned.
“You’re really the tree. A sexy little tree, might I add.”
He then took my arms, raising them above my head and fastening my wrists to a set of cuffs dangling from the ceiling. Obviously, that had been Justin’s doing, hence the need for a step stool.
Once I was restrained, all four men continued to adorn me with various items, including long strands of LED lights, a butt plug with some sort of decorative jewel on the end, small bells around my neck and ankles, and a variety of ornaments that they hung on the wire that ran through the tinsel. When they were finished, Ben plugged in the lights and then all four of them stepped back, admiring me with heated stares.
“One more thing.” Master stepped up to me, then lowered himself to one knee. I dropped my chin to my chest and watched as his head lowered. He teased my pussy with his fingers, brushing over my clit until I was moaning in earnest.
The moans died a quick and painful death when I felt something clamp onto my clit. I cried out when his fingers disappeared. Whatever he had put on me caused my clit to throb painfully.
“Did you…clamp my clit?” I asked, the words rushing out on a pinch of pain that shot through my entire body.
“Breathe, pet,” Master instructed as he got to his feet. “A submissive’s goal is to please her masters, remember?”
“I remember.” Swallowing hard and trying to ignore the intense sensation, I focused on the four men surrounding me. Or I tried to anyway. Between the clamps on my nipples and the one on my clit, I could hardly breathe.
“Oh, I almost forgot,” Landon said, pulling something out of his pocket.
“Please…” I wasn’t sure I could take any more.
“You make a stunning tree, sweet girl. But we need a star.”
I lifted my eyebrows in question.
He stepped closer, holding what appeared to be a star on a chain. He hooked it to the chain dangling between the nipple clamps. The weight of it had me moaning as the clamps tightened, pain shooting straight to my clit, ratcheting up my arousal and making me hyperaware of every sensual ache.
“Now she’s perfect,” Landon whispered, brushing his fingers down my cheek. “You bring us all great pleasure.”
My body warmed from his praise.
“I have to say, I wish I had a tree like that in my apartment,” Ben said, grinning mischievously. “I’d keep it up all year long.”
“I think someone needs to inspect her,” Landon noted, glancing over at Justin.
“I’m more than willing,” Justin replied.
He rolled up his sleeves as he approached. I met his gaze, trying not to smile.
Justin leaned in and kissed me. His lips were warm and soft, his tongue demanding as it pushed into my mouth. He cupped his hand around the back of my head and held me still. I moaned, trying to get closer, wanting him to ease the devastating ache inside me. His kiss only had me desperate for more.
When his hand slipped down between my legs, I held my breath, praying he wouldn’t torture me for too long.
He slipped one finger inside me.
I whimpered.
“She’s wet,” Justin informed the others. “I think she likes this.”
I nodded, letting him know that I definitely did.
By the time Justin stepped back, I was moaning and writhing from his intimate finger-fucking. Ben took his place, dipping two fingers inside me and fucking me, giving me a little more than Justin had. He repeatedly brushed my G-spot but didn’t give me enough to send me over.
Tears of frustration were falling from my eyes when Master approached. He did the same, fingering me feverishly while he held my gaze.
“I’ve been waiting for this,” he whispered. “To see you like this, restrained and eager.”
I was certainly that.
“You can’t come yet, little one.”
I groaned loudly, even as my body burned hotter, brighter, so close to climax but not quite there. Before he stepped away, Master tugged the chain on the nipple clamps and flicked the clamp on my clit, making me cry out.
Then Landon stepped up.
“Are you ready to come, pet?”
I nodded. “Please. Please make me come.”
To my utter relief, Landon unfastened his slacks and freed his cock before grabbing my butt and lifting my feet off the floor.
“Put your legs around my waist,” he insisted.
I didn’t hesitate, wrapping myself around him while he held the brunt of my weight with his arms.
He impaled me on his cock while my wrists remained restrained above my head. Gripping the chain above me, I did my best to hold on, unable to do anything more than accept the torturously slow fucking as he thrust into me again and again. I felt overwhelmingly full thanks to the plug in my ass and the huge cock filling my pussy. I watched Landon’s face, every expression that crossed it, and I held out, wanting him to come with me.
Master moved around behind me, his hands gripping my hips as he lifted me slightly, allowing Landon to fuck me harder, deeper.
“Landon! Oh, God!” I couldn’t stop moaning as I inched closer and closer to orgasm. “May I come?”
“You may,” he growled, slamming into me several more times.
My body shot straight over the precipice, and seconds later, he was coming with me, roaring his release while Master continued to hold me up.
Honestly, it was the most creative Christmas gift anyone had ever given me.
•
After they had removed all the decorations from my body, Landon spent some time with me, cleaning me, then helping me to get dressed. I enjoyed the few minutes we spent together, but then they all returned to their offices, leaving me alone with my thoughts once more.
No one said anything as to why they’d spent so much time holed up in the conference room and I didn’t ask. Truth was, I’d been fretting over the fact that Jordan had confirmed my fears. The office would be closed starting tomorrow thru the day after New Year’s. I could only assume that their impromptu decoration party was their way of sending me off.
That meant I was going to be spending a significant amount of time twiddling my thumbs.
Initially, I thought I would head over to my mother’s, hang out even if she didn’t necessarily want me there. However, a few minutes ago, I’d received a text from her letting me know that—surprise!—she and Jim would be on a cruise until after the first of the year.
For whatever reason, the news had dampened my spirits even more, although I probably should’ve seen it coming. After all, they did it every year.
“So, any big plans for your time off?” Ben asked me when he came out of his office to get another cup of afternoon coffee.
“No, actually.” I planted a smile on my face and pretended it didn’t bother me. “My family doesn’t really celebrate. My mom and stepdad are off on a two-week cruise.”
&nb
sp; Ben frowned. “Really?”
“Really. It’s a ritual of theirs. She works hard all year and chooses to shut down her dental practice for a few weeks during the holidays.”
“What about your dad?”
“He died when I was three. My mom remarried a couple of years later and they’re still together. I have no other close family members.”
I definitely didn’t want Ben or anyone else to feel sorry for me. I certainly wasn’t seeking sympathy. I was extremely content with my life the way that it was. Especially now that I was building relationships with my bosses. Although we were doing some untraditional things, I still enjoyed getting to know these men and letting them show me things I’d never thought possible. Two weeks without that was going to be unbearable.
“What about you?” I prompted, wanting to redirect. “Where will you be spending Christmas?”
Ben smiled. “I’ll see my mother on Christmas Eve. She lives close and we make sure to spend that day together every year.”
“Will you be spending any time with Justin?” Sure, it was a personal question, but I already knew what their relationship entailed.
“I will,” he confirmed with a smile. “At least a couple of days.”
“Well, I hope you two have fun.”
Ben gave me a mock toast with his coffee mug, then disappeared into his office. I got to work, clearing out my email so that when I came back, I wouldn’t feel quite so overwhelmed.
•
I felt slightly shafted when Landon sent me an email at four thirty, telling me that I should go home for the remainder of the day and to have a good holiday. I knew he was simply trying to be nice, not cruelly kicking me out into the cold the way that I felt he was doing, but I couldn’t deny I felt dejected.
Knowing I couldn’t very well argue and tell him I’d rather stay, I sucked it up and started packing up my things. I wouldn’t be back until after the first of the year, so I made sure to grab anything I might need during my time off. Not that I kept a lot of personal effects in the office, but I did have a couple of things in my desk that I might need, such as my compact mirror and a tube of lip gloss I favored.
A few minutes later, the four of them walked out of their respective offices, all eyes landing on me.
“You’re headin’ out, right?” Landon asked, his eyes warm, his smile firmly in place.
Not one of them realized how hesitant I was to leave. Then again, I didn’t really want them to notice either.
“Yes, sir,” I answered with a forced amount of cheer in my voice.
I didn’t want to go, but it seemed I had no choice. With my purse in hand, I followed them to the lobby, which I found was empty because they had also sent Jordan home.
“We hope you have a good holiday,” Landon said, stepping in close to me.
I relaxed my posture and forced a smile. “Thank you.”
Landon leaned down and kissed me sweetly before stepping back out of the way. His eyes lingered on my face for a few seconds longer. The pain of loss intensified as reality sank in. I wouldn’t see him for at least two weeks.
Ben moved in close, his lips brushing mine. “Merry Christmas, Luci.”
“Merry Christmas.”
Justin was the next one to kiss me, and although I should’ve felt better, I didn’t.
When Master pulled me into him, I could tell he was trying to read my mind. I purposely put a blank expression on my face because the last thing I wanted was for any of them to pity me. It wasn’t their fault I was alone for the holidays. I could’ve probably spent time with Kristen if I hadn’t been avoiding her for the past month or so.
The long, deep kiss with Master was interrupted by the ding of the elevator. Like Landon, Master seemed to be regarding me curiously, so I forced a smile and released a little sigh.
The five of us stepped into the elevator and rode down to the main floor. They offered quick good-byes when I climbed into my car that the valet had pulled around for me.
As I drove out of the parking lot, I felt a sudden overwhelming sense of loss. I wasn’t sure what I’d expected, but that certainly hadn’t been it. I felt as though they’d shunned me, as though I meant little to them after all we’d experienced recently. Sure, they had all kissed me good-bye, so there wasn’t much more for them to do. However, the thought of them off to spend time with their loved ones for the holidays while I was at home alone didn’t make me feel good. It was selfish, I knew, but I couldn’t help it.
Rather than dwell on it, though, I shoved it all down and drove to Starbucks before heading home. When I got to my apartment, I unpacked the small bag I’d taken to Master’s and got settled in. It wasn’t surprising that I was instantly restless and opted to head over to the evening yoga class. I was disappointed when Kristen wasn’t there, but I figured she was likely spending time with her family for the holidays as well.
It took everything in me to return to my apartment later that night, knowing I would be spending the entire next two weeks alone.
I didn’t want to be alone.
I wanted to be with my bosses.
And wasn’t that a disturbing thought. All this time I’d gotten used to being with them in the office. Now that we weren’t there, I still wanted to be with them.
Only now, I wanted something outside of the office.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t part of the arrangement.
Fifty-Two
BOSS MEETING
——————————————————
Landon
“OKAY, WHAT DID I MISS?” my brother asked as we stood at the front of the building staring after Luci’s car as she pulled away.
At least I wasn’t the only one who’d noticed how strangely she was acting.
Something had just happened, but I had no idea what. It was obvious she was disappointed, although I wasn’t sure why. Most people were grateful for time off. That certainly didn’t seem to be the case where she was concerned.
Then again, even as she drove away, I realized I wasn’t ready to let her go. Two weeks without her was going to be hell.
“Did she seem upset to you?” I asked Ben, trying to ensure we’d all noticed the same thing.
He nodded but didn’t elaborate.
I glanced at Langston, both of us shrugging.
“Let’s grab a drink,” Justin suggested. “I think we need to talk.”
I frowned. Clearly Justin knew something my brother and I didn’t.
Then again, I wasn’t going to argue about a drink. I needed one. If for no other reason than Luci had just driven away and the chance to see her for the next couple of weeks was slim to none.
Although the four of us had met this morning to go over in detail everything we had pending in an effort to ensure we all took the time off that the holidays allowed, we would all still be busy with family and other get-togethers that naturally occurred at this time of year.
As, I was sure, Luci would be, too.
I noticed Justin subtly shaking his head as he and Ben turned toward the restaurant.
Once again, I glanced at Langston, wishing my brother could enlighten me. Clearly we’d missed something big. Something that evidently had to do with Luci.
I wasn’t sure what it was I was feeling, but I knew for a fact I didn’t like it.
Not a fucking bit.
♥▫▫▫▫♥▫▫▫▫♥
I hope you enjoyed the first part of Luci’s story. The 2nd book is available now, so you can pick right up where you left off. Originally, I had intended for this to be one standalone book, however, it came in FAR too long to be a single book. Therefore, there are two books, but I did release them at the same time so you wouldn’t have to wait.
Keep reading for the first chapter in the next book:

BOSS MEETING
——————————————————
Langston
FOR POSSIBLY THE FIRST TIME in my life, I didn’t like the h
olidays one fucking bit.
The thought of not seeing Luci bothered me. Not only the fact that I was thinking about it too much, but also the fact that she would be away from me. I wanted more time with her, not less.
And, fuck, that bothered me, too.
By the time we got a table at a nearby restaurant, I was trying to read minds. I could tell by the look on Ben’s face that he knew something that Landon and I didn’t. As much as I wanted to grab him by the collar and insist he tell me what it was, I managed to refrain. I was nothing if not controlled. It was what made me a damn good Dom. I couldn’t even remember the last time I’d lost control.
Okay, that wasn’t true. It was the day I’d come into the office to find Luci at her desk and not naked in my office like I had requested. I’d lost it that day. After I’d spent so much time anticipating having her all to myself, seeing her not where I’d instructed her to be had set me off.
However, I did at least have the common sense to let some time pass before I had punished her for her transgression. I derived absolutely no pleasure from punishment that wasn’t associated with playing. However, I would dole it out as it was necessary to maintain the balance between a Dom and a submissive.
“All right,” Justin said after we’d received our drinks. “Go ahead and tell them what Luci told you.”
I knew it.
Ben glanced at me and Landon. “I asked what her plans were for the holidays. I got the sense that she was not looking forward to them because she would be spending it alone.”
“Why would you assume that?” I narrowed my eyes, trying to read him. “What about her parents?”
“She said they went on a cruise,” Ben explained. “Won’t be back until after the first of the year.”
“According to Luci,” Landon offered, “she doesn’t spend much time with them anyway.”
Well, fuck. Why didn’t I know that?
“And Kristen?” I asked Landon.
He shrugged. “No idea, but that does explain why she’s hesitant to go home when I tell her to.”
“She doesn’t want to be alone,” Ben offered, which was the same conclusion I’d drawn.
