Twelve Days in Christmas

Hello! My name is Lisa, and this is my first published story. I want to thank my friend and fellow Literotica writer, Hamlin, for looking this over for me and encouraging me to publish it. It's being done alongside my second story, The Beauty of Broken Things.

Synopsis:

Twelve Days in Christmas is the story of a sibling romance set in the lively and beautiful scene of a small town, filled with delightful and friendly characters. The passion is as hot as the flames in the fireplaces and the intensity of emotions is as bright as the twinkling lights. It's a tale of love, pure and true, packed full of so much heart that it wouldn't fit under a single tree.

Christmas Carol was named for her small town, which was named for the holiday. The name has made her the town's de facto mascot, a role that's been something of a mix of embarrassment and pride. The little town, as one might expect, is obsessed with the Christmas holiday.

Seven years ago, a tragic accident changed the lives of Christmas and her brother, Brad, forever altering their relationship and destiny. It's a secret that they've kept for all that time.

Now, Christmas is home from college and the holiday is here once more. The annual pageant looms and the town is abuzz with activity. Over the next twelve days, life will change again, as one of Christmas' best friends becomes aware of the secret.

Please enjoy the story and I appreciate your feedback.

December 13th: Coming Home

As the snowfall intensified, adding another layer of white to the already blanketed stretch of country road, Christmas slipped on her gloves, her hat, and opened the car door with a frustrated sigh. Her sneakers were not meant for the sudden cold, wet crunch of the snow that they sank into when she stepped out of the car. It was bitter, biting through her thin socks as she trudged to the back of the vehicle and looked at the flat tire. Fuck.

Glancing both ways down the road, she saw only a stretch of white as far as the limited visibility allowed. Despairing, she got back into the car, cranked the heat, and pulled out her phone. No signal. Fuck. It was just her luck, she thought, a goddamned flat just a few miles out of town.

She turned on the hazard lights and watched the snow fall, scanning the road, hoping that someone would see her and stop. She should have known better, should have been prepared. All those times, those lessons, growing up in the harsh winters of the Upper Peninsula, came back to her, and she felt stupid.

"Always have an emergency kit, a spare, and a jack," her father's voice said. "You're going to get stranded at some point. It's inevitable."

Christmas, though, had been away for a while, living in the warmer climate of the south and attending school. She hadn't been prepared and the long drive back up north had been such smooth sailing. Naturally, her luck would run out just an hour from town.

Headlights broke the swirling snow, heading toward town. Christmas quickly leapt from the car, soaking her feet again and waving her arms at the oncoming truck, shouting into the wind. The truck began to slow, then stopped. She thanked the small town kindness of strangers and crunched through the snow. The truck's door opened and a tightly bundled man stepped out, better prepared, wearing heavy snow boots. He started toward her.

When he was close enough, he tugged down his scarf and said, "Chris? That you?"

Christmas felt relief. Not a stranger. Even better.

"Tommy!" she exclaimed and hugged him. "Thank God!"

"Having some trouble, huh?" Tommy said, returning the embrace.

"Flat tire."

Tommy shook his head and said, "Been away too long. Should have had a spare."

Christmas rolled her eyes and said, "Think you can take me into town?"

"Hop in," Tommy said. "I'll call Hank when we get close and he can tow you in."

"Thank you!"

Christmas returned to the car and retrieved her bag, locked it, and walked to the truck. The heated cabin was a welcome feeling. Tommy opened his side, got in, closed it, and removed his scarf. The truck rumbled back onto the road.

"Headed home?" Tommy asked, hesitantly.

Christmas nodded and said, "Yeah. First time in four years. How have you been?"

Tommy shrugged, "Good, I suppose. Can't complain. You talked to your brother?"

"All the time," Christmas replied, "He came down to see me at school, once."

"Glad to see you back," Tommy grinned, "Town just ain't been the same without a Christmas dance at The North Pole from the town mascot!"

She punched his shoulder and laughed. "Well don't count on that again. It's Lester's fault for spiking the egg nog."

"What about the next year?"

"Peer pressure." Christmas shrugged again.

"Well, consider this your first dose of peer pressure upon your return," he said, laughing back.

"Don't count on it."

As they drove into town, they caught up over the four years. Town life hadn't changed much, as life in small towns is wont to do. The same familiar names and places were all there, still doing the same things they'd been about four years ago. They passed a sign reading, "Welcome to Christmas! Where every day is Christmas!"

It was ridiculous, she thought, but there was always a little glow of satisfaction when she saw the name of the town she'd been named after, born on the day that the town was named after. It was one of life's little oddities, but it was her oddity. The town, likewise, loved that little oddity and loved her for it.

Tommy dropped her off at the door to her home, the home where her brother lived, alone.

"I'll get Hank out to get your car. Keys?" Tommy said.

Christmas fished in her coat pocket and handed him the key to the car.

"Thanks again, Tommy. Tell Hank I'll settle up with him tomorrow, if that's alright."

Tommy shook his head and said, "You know what he's gonna say."

Christmas knew. Hank would say, "I can't be chargin' the town mascot for that," but Christmas would insist and pay him anyway.

"Then just tell him I said thanks," she said and stepped out of the truck.

Tommy gave her a little salute and drove away. Christmas walked up to the house and let herself in. The house seemed dark and quiet.

"Brad?" she called out.

No answer. She hung her coat in the entryway and walked into the dark living room. The curtains were drawn, and the room was nearly pitch black, but the filtered light was just enough that she could see, and sense, people in the room. A Christmas tree suddenly burst into lighted life, casting a multicolored splash across the room. The sounds of carols blared from the speakers, stopping her in her tracks.

There was Brad, on the couch, along with the two neighbors, the Blakley's, while her two old besties, Leah and Sasha, stood behind the couch. All of them smiled widely as they shouted, "Merry Christmas!"

Brad stood up from the couch as Christmas broke into a grin, her throat tightening. Her brother swept her up and twirled her around as she shrieked, then set her on her feet and put a kiss on her cheek, hugging her tightly.

"Welcome home," he whispered, his hand drifting to touch her ass, just out of sight of the gathering.

She blushed at the touch and felt a little hot thrill. It had been a while. Brad let her go and each of the neighbors, then her friends, greeted her with hugs. It was good to be home.

***

With fresh socks on and slippers on her feet, Christmas sat with Sasha and Leah on the couch, while Brad chatted with Mr. Blakley. Mrs. Blakley, meanwhile, served cookies and punch.

"You're going to stay through the new year, right?" Leah asked.

Christmas nodded and said, "Yeah. Probably longer. I'm all graduated, so I have to start looking for work now. I only stayed long enough to run out my lease, so the other girls wouldn't have to pick up the rent."

"What are you gonna do with that fancy degree?" Sasha asked.

"Not so fancy," Christmas said, shrugging. "I guess I'll write some more. Maybe try to get a job at the paper? I don't know."

"Maybe you can write me a love poem," Sasha said, glancing toward Brad, "Help me win a certain heart?"

Christmas laughed and said, "That's an icy heart. I don't think there are words in any language that are going to win it."

Inwardly, there was just a little jealous rush, but that was her secret, hers and Brad's.

"Guess so," Sasha said. "You sure he's not gay? He doesn't even look at me."

She primped her hair and bounced her tits with a saucy grin as Brad looked their way. He didn't even acknowledge the flirtation.

"Pretty sure," Christmas said. "Why don't you ask him?"

Sasha shook her head and said, "Probably not polite."

The little party wore on for a few hours, but eventually Brad showed the neighbors out and the girls all exchanged further hugs. Finally, she was alone with her brother.

"Popcorn and cheesy holiday flicks?" she asked, giving him a sly smile.

"Absolutely!" Brad agreed.

Before long, the fireplace was roaring and Christmas was wrapped in a blanket, wearing a set of ridiculous holiday pajamas. The only light came from the twinkling tree and the TV. Brad lay behind her on the couch, his arm around her waist and the blanket over the two of them. His face was buried in her hair and she could feel his cock, hard, against her ass.

"Miss me?" Christmas asked, breathily, as her hand moved to touch his cock.

"You have no idea," he said, kissing her neck.

"My roommates all asked about you," she said, as Brad's hand moved from her waist to her breast, palming it through her top. "They were so curious about my boyfriend only visiting once."

Brad growled and said, "I'd have come more often, if you'd let me."

"They all made jokes about how hard you fucked me," she whispered, moving her hand up to cup his cheek as he nuzzled against her neck. "They wanted to borrow you."

Brad groaned and rubbed his erection against her, squeezed her breast.

"I know why you did it," he said, "kept me away. I missed you, Chris."

"I missed you, too," she said, and turned, putting her hand on his neck and drawing him in, pressing her lips softly to his.

The heat of his kiss melted her, the longing for him rising, hot, the intensity of it bringing tears to her eyes as their lips met, melded. Brad brushed her hair back, just as eager for her, but he stopped and wiped at a tear with his finger.

"I just... I needed time away, you know? To think it all through. I wasn't in a good place back then."

Brad nodded and said, "Neither of us were. I'm sorry if I..."

She stopped him, shaking her head, "You didn't. I wanted it. I still do. I just had to work it out for myself."

"And?" he asked, his hand moving back to her hip, toying with the pajama bottoms.

She kissed him again, more passionately, eager, the long pent-up desire conveyed in the hunger of the simple action. There wasn't a need for words. No words could say what she meant. For now, there wasn't a need. For now, there was only the popping of the fire and the low drone of carols on the TV, just the feel of his lips and the closeness of him, tender. It would be so easy, right now, she thought, to surrender to him, to give herself. She wanted to. God, how she wanted to, but it wasn't time.

She broke away and stroked his cheek, studied his eyes, dark and soft, the reflected firelight dancing in them, like the flames of desire that she knew were just waiting for her word, any agreement that he could take her. He would, too, she knew. He'd have her right here, and she was wet for it, practically salivating to feel it, but she didn't give him that agreement. Instead, she gave him a teasing smirk.

"What?" he asked at the look.

"Ready for your first gift?" she asked.

"If I can unwrap the one in front of me, it's the only gift I need."

She shook her head and said, "Not yet," and watched his slightly frustrated expression, poorly hidden, then continued, "I'm going to make it special for you. We're going to play a little game."

"Strip poker?" he asked, grinning.

She rolled her eyes and explained, "No. I'm going to give you a present, each day until Christmas. This game is called Twelve Days in Christmas."

His grin widened, and he said, "This sounds much better than strip poker."

"Day one," she said, and her hand slid into his pajama pants, where she found his cock and began to stroke it.

Brad groaned, and half shut his eyes. Christmas slid from the couch, leaving the warmth of the blanket, and pulled the pants down. Her brother's cock came free, twitching and bobbing in the firelight. Giggling, she picked up the silly Christmas hat from the end table, put it on her head, and looked up at him from her kneeling position.

"I've been very naughty," she whispered, "and I don't intend to stop."

"Please don't," Brad breathed.

She licked up the length of his cock, making him groan delightedly as her tongue coated the underside of it, tickling his cockhead with the tip. Christmas put her lips around it and slowly, lovingly, suckled on the head of it as she watched him. She could see the vacant look in his eyes as he surrendered to the pleasure, and she loved it. For a long moment she nursed on his cock, massaging that sensitive head with her lips, allowing rivulets of saliva to drool down the shaft of it.

When she felt his cock jerk, she slowly swallowed his length, gliding her lips wetly down it, coating it, until her lips touched his crotch. Brad groaned, shook, and put his hand on her head, careful not to dislodge the hat.

"Oh my God," he breathed, "I missed this so much."

Christmas moaned around his cock and continued to slowly, lovingly worship it. Each time she felt it twitch and jerk, she released the suction around his shaft and let the feeling pass. Satisfied that he was not going to cum, she went back to work on it, licking, sucking, intent on giving him the longest, wettest blowjob that she could, before he no longer had the stamina to last a moment longer. Her knees were sore and George Bailey was about to deliver the perfect line on the TV. Christmas suddenly kicked up her sucking to hungry, desperate slut level and Brad held on.

"Fuck!" he gasped, and Christmas knew she'd timed it perfectly.

"Well, then you can swallow it, and it'll all dissolve..." The TV said, and Christmas began to swallow her brother's gift.

She hummed and gulped, moaned and sucked, extracting every drop that she could from his edged cock.

"Fuck... fuck... fuck..." Brad panted, writhing in pleasurable torment as his sister drained his cock.

She held him and sucked him until his balls were empty, then came up for air, took a drink, and then began to suck again.

"Oh, fuck," Brad groaned and said, "I... Jesus I can't..."

Christmas looked up at him with his half-erect cock in her mouth and raised one eyebrow as she swallowed his length again.

"Oh, fuck it," Brad sighed and relaxed into the couch. "Keep going."

Christmas smiled around his cock.

December 14th: Marcy

Waking up with her brother's tongue stroking wetly through her pussy was, possibly, the best way Christmas could think of. She played at sleep and let him lick and suck at her, while his hands slid beneath the pajama top to touch her breasts. When he sealed his lips around her button, though, and began to flick his tongue around it in little circles, there was no more playing. She ground her pussy against him and sighed happily, giggling as he worked her toward the perfect morning orgasm. Then it came, and she shuddered, her legs giving small kicks as the pleasure brought her around.

Her hand found his, still beneath her shirt, and covered it. There was something so erotic about feeling his hand on her breasts, covering it with her own through the layer of cloth, resting it there as he gently squeezed her. He continued licking slowly up and down her slit, apparently in a mood to return the long and luxurious oral pleasure she'd given him the night before. The moment was perfect and she couldn't break it with words, so she only moaned softly and enjoyed the long, thorough tongue fucking.

After bringing her off again, Brad moved up her body and kissed her, sharing the reward he'd extracted from her. His naked cock, hard and hot, pressed against her pussy. Just the slightest inkling of consent and he'd push it into her, fill her up and fuck her. He'd make slow love to her, she knew, feeling the mood. It was torture on herself not to give him the go ahead, but it wasn't time. That would ruin the build-up and then she'd let him fuck her every day. Instead, she broke the kiss and cupped his cheek, closing her legs.

"I loved that," she said. "Thank you."

"Any time," he said, his voice gruff, excited, but a bit annoyed at having been denied.

"I need to shower," she said, "and I'm going to do it alone. I need to go out with the girls today."

Brad let her go, looking down at his hardon, then at her with a pleading look.

She shook her head teasingly and said, "I like you this way. My game, my rules. Don't you dare empty those balls on your own."

Brad groaned as she stood up and stretched, shaking her hair and giving him an enticing view of her ass as she bent over to retrieve the pajama bottoms. She tossed them to him, then stripped off the shirt, standing naked in front of him, then tossed him the clothes.

"Do some laundry for me, will you?" she asked, and ran for the shower.

***

When she was dressed, Christmas crept into the laundry room, where Brad was putting clothes into the washer. She glided in behind him and slid her arms around his waist, nuzzling the back of his neck. Her hand snaked downward, into his pajama pants, and found his half-hard cock.

Brad groaned as she stroked it for him, getting it hard again in moments. She continued to stroke him, her fist around his length, jerking him delicately.

"When I come home, I could suck it for you again," she whispered. "You could let your little sister suck your cock, like a filthy little pervert. Would you like that?"

"Yeah..."

"You could put me on my knees and push your big cock right into my mouth again."

"Yes!"

She stroked him faster. "You could fuck my mouth really hard, like a pussy, since I'm teasing you so bad. Do you want that? Do you want to choke me with it and make me do it for you until you cum?"

"Fuck!"

"Cum for me," she begged, her tits pressed into his back. "Cum for your little sister and you can do it. You can use my mouth like a wet little hole for your cock."

Brad's penis jerked, and he groaned, cumming into her hand, his pants, as he leaned against the washer. Christmas withdrew her hand and licked it, watching him as he slowly turned around.

"You have some more laundry to do," she said, sucking on her finger. "I'll be home later."

Brad gasped and then said, "What... about your car?"

"I'm taking yours," she said, grinning. "You don't mind, right?"

He shook his head. She leaned up and kissed him on the mouth.

"Don't you go getting yourself on the 'good' list. I need you to be really naughty, alright?"

He nodded, swallowing, and watched her walk out the door, his keys jingling in her hand.

***

The town's main street had grown over the last four years, Christmas noted, as she strolled down the sidewalk with Sasha and Leah. Many of the same old businesses, town staples that had been installed for decades, stood alongside newer ones. Some of these, she noted, were familiar corporate names that had been present in the big city. Ella's Homespun Fashions stood next to a Gap store, and a Starbucks sat across the street from The Roost, a family-owned cafe and coffee bar. The two of them seemed to have a healthy rivalry going, too, as each store had their own sign claiming to be able to produce their own "twist" on the other's favorite drinks.

On every other lamppost, Christmas saw, were signs advertising this year's holiday activities. The middle school would be putting on a performance of A Christmas Carol, while the dance school that Christmas had attended was doing The Nutcracker. Then, there was the annual pageant, a fundraiser for the benefit of the Christmas Scholars Program, which provided scholarships for college.
