This is not just a holiday story but rather a tale of two newlyweds, Rachel and Geoffrey, who began a new holiday tradition on their first Hanukkah together. In the spirit of the holiday they exchanged sexy gifts, one on each of the eight nights. This story is a sort of epilog to the other nine parts of the series, so I fear you would understand this one better if you've read the other stories first. Enjoy!
The Hanukkah season is upon us again and the decorations are strewn about, awaiting careful arrangement. Geoffrey carefully empties the box marked "Hanukkah Decorations" and heads back to the attic. I watch my husband's head disappear as he ascends the attic steps. He still has such a cute ass that I can't help look and feel my pulse quicken.
Years have gone by since that first Hanukkah together and Rachel and Geoffrey never let a year pass by without engaging in the sexual tradition begun years ago. Even with late night feedings, end of the year deadlines and boring company holiday parties, they always manage to keep this particular tradition a priority.
One year Geoffrey had to leave town for Baltimore on business, promising the children and I he'd be back in plenty of time for the first night of Hanukkah. That year the eastern seacoast had a terrible snow storm, delaying and canceling flights throughout the country. Geoffrey called me from the airport on the afternoon of his expected return, just a few hours before Hanukkah was to begin.
"I know I said I'd be home for Hanukkah, Rach," he started, sounding as though he was exasperated to the point of tears. "Looks like for the first time ever we won't be able to spend a Hanukkah night together."
"Sweetie, don't worry, I'm just glad you're safe," I tried to keep the disappointment from my voice. I knew the holiday meant at least as much to him as it was to the children and me.
"I'll be on stand-by and I promise I'll get home as quick as I can. I love you, Rachel. Put the kids on. I'll try to explain." Geoffrey is a wonderful father but try as he might, he could not seem to make our three- and five-year-old children understand that 1) Baltimore is far away or 2) snow could somehow prevent Daddy from returning by sundown. In the end they settled for promises of special Baltimore presents and Daddy coming home as quick as possible.
The children and I spent that first night of Hanukkah alone in the house. Although I tried to seem happy and excited with the children, we all knew something was missing. After the children were tucked in, I went to bed but only tossed and turned. His call came at 5am the next morning, promising a late morning arrival, and my heart leapt. Greeting him at the baggage claim, it was all I could do to keep my hands off my exhausted husband. I don't think I'll ever forget the look in my husband's eyes when I opened up my long coat in the nearly empty parking garage to reveal my nakedness underneath.
Geoffrey's eyebrow went up and he grinned. "Is this my Hanukkah present?"
I jumped against his chest, feeling his strong arms wrap around my body underneath the coat. God, it felt so good to have him back. Reaching down, I began to quickly undo his belt and zipper. Looking into his face with a mischievous grin, I explained, "I think it must be sundown somewhere in the world."
We both laughed, and he kissed me hard before I knelt in front of him and showed him how much he was missed. His nervous glances around the parking garage were soon replaced with expressions of ecstasy as my well-practiced mouth brought him a quick release. That would certainly be a Hanukkah we would never forget.
The house seems so empty now that the kids are in college. Geoffrey begins to climb down the attic stairs, tightly gripping the last holiday box. This last box is marked "Hanukkah Tradition" and contains very special contents that were never displayed when the children were around. Rather, we'd always made it a practice to get the box down the night before Hanukkah began, quickly smuggling it into our bedroom without being seen by curious eyes.
