Part 1 - Naughty Or Nice
It's not that Holly
hated
Christmas. Not at all. Christmas was great! Time off work, an excuse to day-drink on the weekends, and - at least when she was younger - a deluge of presents would be waiting for her one morning, along with a pile of chocolate.
These days, the chocolate was still there - at least, what would be left of it by December 25th - but the presents mostly consisted of a book from her parents, something stupid from a friend or two, one or two self-gifted things she liked to wrap and have under the tree for 'appearances', and a sex toy from Liam.
Oh, and some jewelry from her fiance, Oliver.
Whoops.
Things with Liam always got weird around the holidays - twelve months of cheeky nights together after their shifts ended, while Liam was working nights as a Nurse in the local hospital, and all of a sudden Liam wanted to 'get serious'. Why wasn't the
mind-blowing
sex enough?
Because that's all it was, to Holly. Liam worked long hours, and he was usually too stressed to do anything
fun
, so once or twice a week she'd find Liam after work, they'd go back to his place, fuck like rabbits, and she'd be home before Liam was even half-way through his shift. Nobody was getting hurt. Oliver had no clue.

The office of
Halter and Blatt
, a small circling-the-drain legal firm which had employed Holly (and Liam) for about four years now, was in the throes of it's last day of operation. December 23rd. The night before
freedom
.
'Back on the third, yeah?' Holly asked her boss, a dreary old fuck who likes to be called 'sir' but could never quite manage to summon the respect from people. Most people just called him 'Alan'.
'The second,' he corrected. 'Do I have to send out
another
memo?'
Holly smiled at him, bright and wide, showing off her perfect shit-eating grin. Oliver always said her smile was one of her best features. Oliver, however, said it was her lips. 'No! Understood, Alan. Have a good one!'
'You're not done yet?' he asked, shrugging a jacket on over his tight-fitting shirt that was struggling against the swell of his stomach. 'Not normal for you to stay late.'
'Liam's giving me a ride home,' she said, trying not to squirm at the thought of using 'Liam' and 'ride' in the same sentence in public.
'Ah,' Alan, without even a shred of pretence to care. 'Make sure he locks up.' As he was
technically
my superior, Liam was in charge of ensuring the building was locked up if no one above him was in to do so. Holly wasn't his secretary or anything, though, so there wasn't much of a chance of her 'reminding' him to do shit.
'Sure,' she smiled, and watched Alan grab his older-than-her briefcase and shuffle on out.
The office, which was a renovated house on a street of hairdressers, student-property managers and pizza delivery places, was cramped at the best of times, and they were stretched over three different floors. As such, Holly had to traipse around the office to find Liam on the top floor, just in the process of turning off his computer for the night.
'It's past six,' Holly told him. 'Everyone else is gone. What's the plan?'
'The plan's changed,' he said, not making eye contact. When he did, eventually, look up at her, his usually cool face, with that perfect facial hair and confident smirk, was a look of stress. 'I'll give you a ride - but that's it, tonight.'
'Oh,' Holly said, deflated. She'd been looking forward to this for a
while
. 'What's happened?'
'Nothing important,' he said, packing papers away and filing anything away that he'd been using through the day. 'My family have arrived early - I have to pick them up from the airport in an hour.'
'So,' Holly said, stepping in and pulling the door shut behind her. 'We have an hour.'
'It's a half hour drive,' he said, his tone dismissive.
Holly tried to push past it, still hoping there was a way for her to...
alleviate
her stress. 'So we have
half
an hour?'
'It's half an hour to yours,' he said. 'Unless you want to come with me to pick up my parents, we're already late.' He looked up at her, pausing for a moment. He wasn't heartless, after all. 'Come here,' he said.
Holly approached, the smart shirt on her stretching over her curves as she pushed her chest out a little. He took her waist in his arm, and kissed her so deeply that she felt it soak through her, thighs rubbing together and a moan escaping her.
'After Christmas,' he said, his voice low. 'I'm going to fuck you so good you won't be able to sit down.'
Holly let the thrill roll through her, even though her mind caught on a couple of his words. '
After
Christmas?'
'And,' he said, with a teasing smirk. 'If you're... a
good girl
for me, I'll bet that orgasm will be-'
At that moment, Liam's phone began ringing, breaking that delicious tension in an instant. Liam turned, and Holly saw his screen showing
Mum
. With a quick, apologetic look to Holly, he answered.
'Mum! Hi!'
Holly sighed, and bit her lip. She knew what he wanted of her - being a
good girl
was their cue for her not fucking Oliver between their sessions. Liam liked the idea that he was getting more of her than the men she was living with, and planning to marry. Admittedly, she found it hot, too - even though she knew it was cruel to deny Oliver sex when he worked so hard to provide for her. Somehow, Liam seemed to be able to tell when she
had
fucked Oliver, as well, like she wore it on her sleeve or something. Which she
also
found was a massive turn-on - he was able to tell when she fucked her fiance, but her fiance had no idea she was cheating. It was all backwards, and she kind of loved it.
Holly knew it was wrong, but she loved it anyway.
She turned, heading back downstairs as Liam talked to his mother, and just had to accept that she wasn't going to get anything from him until after Christmas. In fact, seeing as he wanted her to be
good
, she probably wasn't going to be getting
any
