Elly rolled her eyes, "Ummm 9 year-old girls are, hence why you needed my help." He swore she said "men' under her breath.
"You're right, of course, thanks again," then looking at his watch he said, "and let me officially be the first to wish you a merry Christmas Elly."
"Oh god, is it midnight already? I need to get back, or the kids will think I am Mrs. Claus. Merry Christmas Dan." She gave him a quick wave then slipped out the door. He locked it behind her and went to bring the presents to the tree. Smiling at the care with which they had been wrapped. He noticed she had left the tag blank, probably so Sam wouldn't be suspicious that the writing was Ms. Elly's.
"Like she won't be suspicious the clothes are this nicely wrapped," Dan thought to himself with a chuckle as he filled out the tags and put them under the tree for the morning. He smiled at the tree and couldn't help think of his departed Jane, and how much she loved Christmas. He took a moment to give into the grief that he had fought back in front of Elly.
Though he appreciated how understandable she was about it, it still felt wrong to grieve in front of someone like that at this joyous time, even someone he had gotten as close with as he had Elly. Her divorce and his wife's death this year had been a bonding thing for them. Her ex was a first class jerk, but he was also a coward who had somehow convinced Elly she was useless at taking care of herself. Hilariously, Dan knew he was only being this way because it was in fact Charlie who relied so heavily on Elly that he needed her back to function, but low and behold Elly had discovered she was fine on her own. To keep him off her back, Dan had volunteered to help with any house tasks she didn't know how to do or would've had to call someone for. She tried to pay him, but he reminded her of all the help she had given months before when Jane was first gone, their daughters were already friendly so Elly would take his kids for hours to give him a break. Countless meals seem to find their way home with the kids each time, she said they we're 'leftovers' but he wasn't fooled, so when she finally rid herself of the lump, the repairs and upkeep were the least he could do. The latest exchange? He assembled a dollhouse for Gracie that Elly had zero time to put together, if she picked up the clothes Sam had asked for. Given he spent no time in malls, and almost had never bought his kids clothes, picking out girls clothes was well out of his wheelhouse, so the exchange was perfect.
His reflection was broken by a knock at the front door, figuring it was Elly, though surprised she used the front door he dried his tears and went to answer it.
When he opened the door, he found not Elly, but someone entirely different. Standing in the cold winter air was a scantily clad goddess wearing what could only be described as Mrs. Claus's lingerie. Red lace with white fur barely covered her ample breasts and panties areas over which she wore a see through red robe that was also white fur lined. Lost in the woman's cleavage he barely heard her say, "Merry Christmas Dan, I'm Joy, your Christmas present so to speak, mind inviting me in? It's cold out here."
Dan gulped then moving out of the way said, "Of course come on in."
Joy just smiled, closed the door, and said, "Before you start with the questions, let's just say you've been a VERY good boy this year, and a great dad. I'm a reward to special good single Daddy's who might not have anyone to keep them warm on a cold Christmas Eve." Joy then got very close and without warning kissed him. Before he knew it, almost by magic her clothes were gone, and his hands were being placed on her firm ass and ample tits. It was too much for his system. He felt himself explode and blushed.
Without missing a beat Joy stopped, smiled, and was somehow wearing a robe. Reading his shock and embarrassment she said, "Good, now that we got that one out of the way, and don't worry Dan, that happens a lot. I always come in hot like that you see, it tells me what kind of help you need. If you just want sex, that works for me, as some dads just need to work out a little sexual frustration. Others, like you, are a little more complex and need something a little deeper. You complex ones usually cream yourself quick, and then we can get down to the real business. For the record, much as I love good sex, I prefer your kind, way more fulfilling for me. Now, which way to your kitchen?" Dan pointed and she said, "excellent, I'm going to make you some cocoa and we'll chat. Oh, and if you hadn't noticed I'm a little magical, just like the Big fella, no time will pass while I'm here, so you're not sacrificing sleep, nor will anyone wake up or see me if they do. We had one incident a long time ago, and we've been a lot more careful since. So, with that out of the way let's get started."
Dan, not fully believing there was some kind of smoking hot elf in his kitchen making hot chocolate, sat down at his table in a daze, for something to do he checked her out. Given she was wearing the robe he was less able to see her body, but he had gotten an eyeful when she was at the door. She was plump, but not overly so, her weight suited her and made her huge breasts not look comical on her. She had ample hips which he could see even with the robe on. Her hair was chestnut brown and halfway down her back. He was taken out of his admiring of her by a question as she brought the cocoa to the table.
"So, I couldn't help but notice those tear tracks when you opened the door, how are you holding up without Jane here? The whole truth now, not what you tell others so they don't feel uncomfortable, my job is to make your Christmas better, and let's face it, as long as you're trying to hold it together for those darling kiddos upstairs, neither you or they is going to get the Christmas you all hoped for, and we both know Jane wouldn't want to be the reason you all have a bad Christmas, so out with it."
He resisted at first, but looking into Joy's eyes he suddenly couldn't help it, it all just poured out of him, grief he didn't even know he had been holding onto until he was sobbing uncontrollably in her lap, the chocolate long forgotten. His loneliness also got the best of him, and he found himself the aggressor this time, not able to get close enough to Joy no matter how hard he tried. She took it all and returned his fevered kisses, but it never got further than that as the out pour of emotion once again overwhelmed him and he felt himself release again before this got beyond kissing and hugging.
"It's ok Dan, all of it, this is a hard thing to deal with. You miss her in ways you haven't even realized. When was the last time you thought about a woman like you have tonight? Probably not in months." Guilt washed over him as he knew that was not true, there was someone, he just could not bring himself to acknowledge those feelings though. Joy missed nothing, he was sure she knew what he was thinking, and maybe even about whom. Instead, she drank the rest of her cocoa and said, "that said big boy, you can't keep leaving a girl hanging, I'm magic, but I'm still human. Mind helping a lady out? I'll even make it a little fun for you," she said as she shed the robe he had opened during their petting, laid down and from somewhere produced a whipped cream can and proceeded to spray it on her tits and then her crotch, where she placed a cherry. "Come get your dessert big boy, special attention to the spot with the cherry if you don't mind. I know how much you boys like your boobs, but that tongue of yours on my pussy would be heavenly."
Dan smiled and went to work, quickly cleaning off her impressive chest, making sure to give her hard nipples a suck, before heading down to the main event. He licked her completely clean before dipping his tongue into her crevice. As requested, he gave it plenty of attention and was soon rewarded by her thrashing and moaning as she closed on her climax. Not long after she exploded in pleasure, and he made sure to clean up any syrup that leaked out. When he sat up, he was knocked flat and pinned to the ground. She kissed him hungrily, and with lust in her eyes, said, "thank you sir, but you've been holding out on me it seems." She reached back and fished his cock out, which he had not noticed had gotten painfully hard, and began stroking it, "you've been hiding this candy cane from me." She slid back and bent down to give it a few quick sucks, before rising and smiling, "just checking, looks like someone's finally ready for the main event. Good thing too, your tongue is heavenly, but I need to feel full baby." She then rose up and mounted him, squeezing her tits together, as she sat a little forward, and moaned. If it was possible Dan got harder in her velvety depths. She smiled "ooooh I think our good daddy likes his present, just wait big boy, you ain't seen nothing yet."
She proceeded to ride him, slow at first, but getting faster as she went, clearly hitting a sensitive spot for herself as she did because she came not too long after starting. As she collapsed on him, Dan seized his chance, and holding her to him, with his cock still buried deep in her, rolled them over. "Mmmm Daddy's ready to drive huh? Have at it, use that magic pussy."
Use it he did, he wasn't sure how long, but he burned off months of sexual frustration on Joy's pussy, and she loved every minute of it. When it was all done he collapsed next to her spent.
"Feel better?" Joy asked snuggling up to him. As she did she handed him something. "Before that guilt settles in, read that. It's Jane's last wish to Santa, she was always a believer, and a big reason I'm here tonight."
