Another Christmas Eve. Another night alone. Tom knew he couldn't handle sitting in his apartment, watching the snow fall and feeling the cold chill of loneliness creep into his chest, so he headed out into the evening, looking for a bar, a drink, a friend. Looking for trouble. He ended up--at a hotel. Seriously, he thought, how cheesy? Downtown at the Ritz-Carlton, in the hotel bar. It seemed like a good place to find a lonely traveler.
He saw her right away, even from across the room. She was hard to miss, wearing the short red dress, with white trim, and knee-high black boots, and the cute Santa hat perched atop her head. She was just his type, too: deliciously chubby, from her thick thighs to her wide bubble butt to her curvy chest and her gorgeous, rosy, kissable cheeks. Tom was mesmerized.
"Buy a girl a candy-cane cosmo?"
The middle-aged bank manager hadn't even realized that he'd been staring until she snapped him out of it by walking up to him. "Uh..absolutely." He grinned, stupidly, he thought. "What would you like?"
She smiled at him. "A candy-cane cosmo, smart guy."
It took everything Tom had not to smack himself in the forehead. "Yeah, I caught that the first time." He grinned. Another stupid grin. He ordered her drink, and one for him. "I'm Tom," he said, extending a hand, "and you are?"
"Call me Jess." She sipped her drink with ruby lips. Tom took a good look at her. She was older than he first thought, probably in her forties, but very sexy. She was certainly dolled-up for Christmas. "I'm just in town for the night."
"What brings you here?"
She smiled. "My husband is flying around on business, and I just wanted to sit this evening out. So I'm alone, in a strange city, with a hotel room all to myself..." She winked, and reached down and sat her free hand on his knee.
Tom's heart fluttered a bit, and his mouth went dry. "Well, I'm all about filling your holiday wishes."
Jess finished her drink and grabbed his hand. "Come with me," she said. "It's time to spread some holiday cheer." Tom had no chance to argue, had he been so inclined. He followed her closely, too closely perhaps, and nearly stumbled into the elevator.
She impatiently pressed the button for the penthouse, and Tom, sliding up behind the buxom beauty, slid her golden hair to the side to nibble at her neck. He tenderly kissed at her collarbone, working his way up her neck, breathing deeply as he got to her hair. "You smell like..."
"Like what?"
"Like gingerbread." He inhaled again, enjoying her sweet aroma. He couldn't help but smile at her choice of fragrance.
"Well," she said sweetly, "tis the season, you know." She pushed backwards, pressing her ample curves against him, eliciting a groan. The elevator stopped, and the doors opened, and Jess pulled Tom out toward her room.
