"Out of town again" she thought to herself. He had been out of town a lot lately it seemed, especially around the holidays. Christmas three days away and she still hasn't heard from him. He did not seem to miss her as much as she missed him. She felt so alone sitting in front of the fire, watching the flames...
Miles was just leaving the department store with the finishing touches to his Santa costume, when he almost cracked heads with his old buddy Galen.
"Hey how the hell are you man?" Miles asked Galen.
"Pretty good if you consider having your divorce finalized three days before Christmas" Galen replied. "Sorry to hear that buddy" Miles told him. How about we go have a beer together, I do not have anywhere I have to be either. I was just picking up the rest of my Santa costume for this year."
"Sure, I would like that fine" Galen said thanking god for some company at last. Right over here at Benny's is that good for you he asked Miles. "Good a place as any, yeah." They headed down a few blocks to Benny's bar. Old hang out for both of them in both of their pre-marital years.
They walked into to the almost empty pub and had a seat at the bar. "Two drafts Joe" Miles yelled at the grumpy looking old man behind the bar. "You got it Miles" the old man replied.
I am really sorry to hear about the divorce Galen, especially right before the holidays man. "So you two been having problems for a while" Miles asked him. "Since the day before our wedding yeah he said sarcastically. "OUCH" Miles replied with a snicker. "Enough about my problems, how have you been Miles seeing anyone new? Miles thought to himself for a second should he share this with his old friend. "Hey Joe two more over here ok" Miles yelled at the bartender.
Miles looked at his old friend Galen and decided he looked like he was up for some Christmas cheer. He knew just the thing to cheer him up too. "You wouldn't by chance have that elf costume still you used a couple of years ago at that play? he asked Galen. Galen stopped and thought out loud "hell, I don't know she probably put it somewhere in the damn house but I don't have any idea where though. Why do you ask?
Well you asked me if I had been seeing anyone new, and I will answer you. I am watching someone yeah. I've been watching her for months now. This woman that works across the hall at my office building. She is the hottest little thing I've ever seen. We have talked and flirted a couple of times, I can tell if she wasn't married she might be interested. "Whoa," Galen said, she is married?
"Yeah if you want to call it that she is. I have not seen her husband there in three weeks now, the dude is gone more than he is home. She is lonely, I can tell and horny as hell Miles said.
"How the hell can you tell if she is horny by flirting with her a couple times and talking" Galen asked. Miles looked at his old friend and said "her eyes man" she has a passion in her eyes. You can tell she needs to turn loose. Her old man probably hasn't given it to her in a month. Confused by the whole conversation Galen comes out with it and asks him "So what is your point to all this, are you seeing her now?"
"I'm not exactly seeing her, I've been watching her. Not stalking her either, just observing. I know her house has a limited security system for windows and doors. I know she comes home from work and showers and sits in front of the fire with a glass of wine at night. I have been thinking about what I would like to give her for Christmas Miles said. She needs a good hot fucking and that is what I am going to give her.
"Really," said Galen and how do you plan to give her that when you barely know her?"
Miles reaches over and pats his Santa costume and says "Down her chimney of course" and laughed. Galen looked at Miles stunned.
"Let me get this strait Galen said to Miles, you're going to go down her chimney in a Santa suit and then what? Get arrested for breaking and entering her house?"
"Yes, that is what I am planning to do, no not down her chimney though he grinned, right through her front door. She is going to invite us in.
We are not going there to hurt her, just seduce her. Give her what her old man obviously isn't. I would never hurt her. I really have given this a lot of thought. I've dreamt of doing this to her for a long time. She is very lonely and extremely sultry. We will give her the best Christmas present she will ever get though.
"Whoa, wait a minute said Galen, what is this "we" thing. I never said I wanted to be a part of this.
She is beautiful Galen, she is so fucken sexy when she walks by I get sprung. She is got long sexy legs, and a beautiful neck.
So is the why you asked me about that elf costume earlier? You want me to be Santa's little helper eh? Ok, I'll bite, say she does invite us in then what, we ask her what she wants for Christmas?"
"Actually no, I am going to tell her that her husband has sent her a "SantaGram" that should get us in the door. Once inside she is all ours, we can exchange gifts," he winks at Galen. Galen laughed and thought to himself this could be kind of fun if she goes along with it.
"Ok." Galen said it sounds pretty erotic and he had not been laid in months. What do we do now?" They sat and had a few more beers and discussed the details of their plan.
They had met at Miles house for final touch ups on their costumes and headed out for Melissa's house. Miles was driving, her house was about 20 miles out of the city. He started thinking about the last time he saw her at the office. They were in the lunch room, he sat across the room from her at a table. She was reading something, a romance novel he guessed.
He saw her glance up at him over the top of her book, she smiled the sexiest smile at him teasing him with her eyes. He smiled back at her and watched her long legs as they uncrossed under her table. He could see right up her skirt, although she had on hose his imagination filled in the rest of her picture.
She shifted again and startled him from his fantasy. They locked eyes again and he saw such want in her eyes. He wanted to go over there and lay her back on the table and fuck the shit out of her right there in the lunch room. She stood up and gathered her things. She walked right passed him brushing her skirt on his arm. He wanted to reach out and grab her so bad.
A horn blared and Miles jumped. They were almost to her house.
It was Christmas Eve and Melissa had just gotten out of the shower and heard the chimes ring at the front door. She quickly slipped on a red lace nightie and grabbed her robe and put it on over it. Thinking it might be her husband and he might have forgotten his keys she raced down the stairs hearing the chimes ring again. She reached the front door and looked through her peep hole and could not believe what she saw... Santa?
She opened the door and said "Merry Christmas Santa can I help you?"
Miles said "Merry Christmas Mrs. Anderson, you are Mrs. Robert Anderson right?"
"Yes I am, what brings you out on Christmas Eve?" she asked him.
