The Elves and I Read online

  “He loved you.” Eldan told her. “He was hurting, he couldn’t have wished that.”

  “He hated me. And that’s why I hate everyone.” She scrubbed her hands across her face. “But I can’t stand feeling this way anymore.”

  “Let it go, Marni. Try to forgive your father.” Kip told her.

  “Forgive him? How can I do that?”

  “By putting yourself in his shoes. He lost his son.”

  “And he lost his daughter by treating me like shit. All he ever gave me was money. Our fortune was supposed to solve everything in his eyes.”

  Eldan grasped her shoulders. “Then his pain doubled when he lost you. Maybe he realized he couldn’t get you back, so he gave you a gift, instead.”

  “Money.” She snorted. “That’s what he gave me.”

  “He gave you a head for business and a sense for what people are truly worth. Money can’t buy that, or replace it.”

  It was the first time she had ever spoken about her misery over Trevor’s death and her father’s rejection. For many years, she could only remember Trevor as he was when he was ill, fighting for his little life. Now, in her mind’s eye, she saw him, happy, smiling...just like he was before he got sick.

  She cuddled against Eldan, her bottom nestled on his muscled thighs. Night settled over Christmas Town. The glittering ornaments and twinkling lights made her feel at peace.

  Eldan lifted her in his arms and kissed her forehead.

  He strode out of the solarium with her tucked against his chest, while Kip and Noel followed behind.

  For the first time in years, Marni felt cherished.

  Money couldn’t buy that, either.

  * * * *

  Eldan carried Marni to her room and laid her on the bed as if she was made of the finest crystal.

  The need to mate with her was strong. He had to fight the urge to strip them both of their clothing. His dick swelled. All he wanted to do was pump into her, make her his.

  Sadness washed over him. She had come so far, yet...

  She had to surrender—not only her painful memories, but she also had to relinquish her desire to control everyone around her.

  He started to walk away when she grabbed his hand.

  “Stay.”

  Kip and Noel stood in the doorway.

  “I want you all to stay.”

  Noel shook his head. “I think it’s better, lass, if we leave and let you get some rest.”

  She rolled to her side, nestling her head in the palm of her hand.

  “It’s the strangest thing. I was so tired before, but now, I feel energized.”

  “It’s because you finally let go of what ailed you.” Kip tapped the side of his head. “Up here.”

  Noel patted his heart. “And here.”

  She licked her lips. “There it is again—that weird feeling.”

  “What?” Eldan frowned.

  He glanced at the tip of her pink tongue, but quickly looked away, the sight making his woolen tights painfully tight.

  “I want something...”

  “Sweet?”

  She looked at Noel. “How did you know?”

  “Ah lass, ya have a hankering for cookies, is that it?”

  “Yes. Cookies.” She sat cross-legged on the bed. “Maybe Elise made some.”

  “Marni, do you have any idea why you crave sweets so much?”

  She glanced at Eldan. “I really haven’t given it much thought.”

  Kip nodded towards the mirror hanging above her dresser. “Take a look at yourself.”

  “Huh?”

  “In the mirror.”

  She rose from the bed and walked over to the mirror.

  “My ears!” She gasped, grabbing each one. “They look pointy.” She peered closer. “My eyebrows have this odd slant.”

  Eldan held his breath, wondering if vanity would win out or she’d accept the change in herself. He thought she looked beautiful.

  So did his cock. He had to fight the urge to sink himself inside her warm, moist channel.

  Marni smiled. “Am I an elf?”

  “Almost.” Eldan murmured.

  “What else has to happen?”

  Eldan glanced at Kip and Noel. They nodded.

  “You have to make love with an elf.”

  “I see...more of that old elf folklore, is that it?”

  “It’s fact, lass. If you truly want to become an elf—”

  “A good, kind, cheery elf—.” Kip added.

  “An honest, hard-working, sincere, elf, then you must mate with one,” Eldan finished. “It’s the last step.”

  She collapsed on the bed, laughter bubbling up inside her.

  “Oh my. That is the most original line any guy has ever used to get in my pants.” She shook her head. “And you said I wasn’t sincere.”

  Eldan’s face fell; his heart plummeted too. “You think we’re not?”

  “Elves mate for life, Marni.” Kip told her.

  “He’s right, lass. If you make love with us—”

  “Then you’re ours. Forever.” Eldan’s voice was deep and soft.

  She folded her arms beneath her breasts. “Okay, prove to me that you all mean that. Show me that you’re sincere, that it’s just not about screwing me.”

  “You don’t trust us.” Kip and Noel said in unison.

  “Why should I?”

  Kip sighed. “There’s only one way to show you, love, just how honest we are.”

  They walked toward the door.

  “Wh-where are you going?’

  Eldan turned to face her. “Elves never lie, and they never force anyone to do anything they don’t want. That includes making love.”

  He opened the door. The three of them sailed through it, leaving Marni alone.

  She sat there, her mouth hanging open.

  Every time she thought she had them figured out, they turned the ornaments on her.

  What in hell was happening?

  She scrubbed her face with her hands. She was starting to think and say the ‘elfiest’ things, but she couldn’t deny that her heart felt light.

  Elves mate for life...

  If that were the truth, then she’d be stuck here in Christmas Town forever. When she first arrived, that very idea seemed like a death sentence.

  Now, it felt as if her life was just beginning.

  She wanted a fresh start. She wanted her three elves.

  Badly.

  Chapter Seven

  The sweet smell of warm, fresh cookies drew Eldan, Kip and Noel to the kitchen.

  “When did Elise start baking at night?” Kip asked, furrowing his brow.

  Noel shrugged. “Beats me. I thought she spent her nights with Santa.”

  Eldan sniffed the air. “Chocolate. It’s melted chocolate.”

  “Maybe she made chocolate chip cookies!” Kip leaped into the air, tapping the curled ends of his boots together.

  He collided with Noel.

  “Calm down, man.”

  “It must be a special occasion.” Eldan murmured. “Why else would she make chocolate chip cookies?”

  They stopped at the entrance to the kitchen, their eyes wide. Table after table was strewn with racks of fresh-baked, chocolate chip cookies.

  Missus Claus stood nearby, removing cookies from a pan, placing them on a rack, letting them slide slowly off her spatula. Then she turned, bending down to retrieve another pan from the oven, her rounded bottom on display. She didn’t have a stitch on underneath her short, green dress, where a frilly, white crinoline peeked out from beneath the hem.

  “Elise?” Eldan’s mouth hung open and he covered his eyes.

  He’d never seen her dressed like that.

  She turned and gave them a jaunty wave.

  Kip shook his head. “That’s not Elise.”

  Noel grinned. “It’s Marni.”

  Eldan’s heart pounded. His cock did, too.

  “Cookie?” She held one out on the end of the spatula. It’s heady, swe
et fragrance drifted by his nose.

  Her smooth, naked thighs were visible just below the short hem of the dress. Shoes with six-inch red heels and shiny patent leather graced her slender feet.

  The minx!

  She bent to slide another cookie off the spatula, her deep cleavage beckoning.

  Fresh baked cookies and sex...no elf could resist such a potent combination.

  “We promised, man.” Noel spoke from the corner of his mouth. “We’re not going to touch her.” He swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing.

  “I want you.” Marni’s stroked them through their haze of desire. “All three of you.”

  Kip took a bold step toward her. He snatched a cookie from the spatula, grinning, then chewed and swallowed the treat, licking his fingers.

  A small bowl sat on the table. He dipped a finger into it, holding it up for all to see.

  “Melted chocolate.” He angled his head. “I’d like to try it.”

  He placed a dab between Marni’s breasts. She tilted her had back, pushing her chest out. He bent his head and licked the melted candy, his long tongue delving into her cleavage.

  “Kiiiiip.” She moaned.

  She clutched his head, her fingers threading through his thick, tawny hair.

  “Tonight, you’ll have more pleasure than you’ve ever dreamed, love.” He kissed each breast then stepped away.

  Noel approached. He lifted the hem of her dress, revealing her naked pussy. Placing a dab of the melted chocolate above her clit, he knelt before her and licked his way down.

  “Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

  Marni wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling his head closer.

  Her eyes locked with Eldan’s. The sight of Kip and Noel pleasuring Marni made his already-stiff dick throb.

  All he needed was a nod of her head, a final affirmation of her desire.

  He held his breath, anticipation coursing through him.

  “Eldan.” She gasped. “Eldan, I want you. Do you want me?”

  “More than you can ever imagine.”

  * * * *

  Noel sucked her clit into his mouth. Kip moved behind her, dipping his hands into the front of her dress.

  Tonight, you’ll have more pleasure than you’ve ever dreamed...

  Kip slid his hands around to unbutton her dress, his fingers brushing the skin on her back. It sent a pleasured shiver down her spine. He pushed the top of her dress down, revealing her breasts, their tender tips sliding against the heavy velvet of his tunic.

  Her clit pulsed.

  His lips trailed down the side of her throat, across her shoulder and the bony ridge just above her breasts. He bent his head and kissed her nipples, sucking them gently into his mouth. He kissed her long, hard and deep, the taste of chocolate on his lips.

  Noel stood behind her, pushing her dress down around her hips. It landed at her feet, a green puddle against the red of her shiny patent leather heels.

  Kip knelt before her. He grasped each of her ankles, encouraging her to lift her feet.

  He tossed the dress aside.

  Marni stood before them naked as the day she was born.

  Except for her feet.

  Noel bent to remove her shoes.

  “No.” Eldan held up a hand, his dark gaze penetrating. “Leave them.”

  Wearing just the shoes made her feel barer than without.

  “You’re beautiful.” He whispered.

  His eyes roamed over her nakedness.

  She shivered.

  Kip dropped to his knees. “Our gift to you.”

  He fastened his lips to her pussy, driving his tongue deep inside her. She clutched his shoulders, grinding against his mouth.

  “Oh, my.”

  He licked her little bud, drawing his tongue upward. The tip kissed her clit. He lingered there, pushing gently against her swollen button of flesh until her thighs quivered.

  Noel stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, using one hand to knead the tender flesh of her breasts. He stroked his other hand across her bottom, sliding his index finger down the cleft. Kip’s agile tongue and the sensual strokes of Noel’s finger almost sent her over the edge. She shut her eyes, pushing her backside against Noel’s hand.

  She stood on the brink of orgasm.

  “Surrender, Marni.” Eldan whispered.

  “I-I don’t know what you mean.”

  “We’re going to make love to you for the next three days.”

  She gasped.

  “I want you ready.” His dark eyes smoldered.

  Sweeping his hand across the table, he pushed everything aside, including the sweet treats.

  “Bend over.”

  His commanding tone made her little bud throb—it ached for release. Anticipation and desire mingled together. She bent over the table, not knowing what to expect. Kip and Noel moved so that they stood in front of her.

  Her essence drenched her pussy.

  Eldan ran his hands across her bottom.

  “When I spanked you,” he whispered in her ear. “I wanted to see your beautiful, naked bottom. Now, my holiday wish is granted.”

  She turned her head to see him dip his index finger into a small bowl.

  It was the oil she’d used to grease the cookie pans!

  She rose up on her hands, rearing back when he touched her bottom hole, pushing his finger inside. He kept his finger inside, reaching between her legs with his other hand, stroking her pussy.

  Knowing that Kip and Noel watched heightened the excitement.

  Tears of pleasure washed over her face, the exquisite, full feeling in her bottom, and the delicious throbbing of her clit sending her over the edge of oblivion.

  Marni lay across the table, wondering if she’d ever be able to move again. Eldan wrapped Marni’s dress around her body, lifting her like a rag doll. The three elves took her to a secluded room in a wing of Santa’s castle.

  A huge, canopied bed decorated in red and green sat in the center of the room. A fire burned in the hearth, filling the room with warmth. Through the windows, she could see that a light snow blanketed the ground outside.

  Eldan eased her onto the bed.

  Noel slid beside her, coaxing her into his arms.

  Kip lay on her other side. He cuddled his long, sinewy body against her, running a hand over her hip and bottom.

  “What is this room?” she murmured. “It’s so pretty.” She let go of a yawn.

  “It’s the ‘elfing’ room.” Eldan replied. He tossed another log on the fire. “We’ll be here for three days and nights.”

  Three days! And nights...

  Just the elves and I.

  She giggled.

  Noel raised a brow. “What’s so funny, lass?”

  “Nothing.” She stretched her arms high above her head and grinned. “Everything!”

  Noel and Kip returned her grin, stripping while Eldan kissed her clit. Never had a kiss felt so wonderful! He lifted her legs, placing them over his shoulders, allowing him better access to her bud. He kissed and sucked until her pussy dripped.

  Marni squirmed, bunching the covers in her fisted hands.

  When he nipped her pussy with his teeth, she ground her bottom into the mattress, her orgasm just within reach...

  He pulled back, removing his clothing while Kip and Noel joined her on the bed.

  Kip massaged her breasts, rolling her nipples between his fingers. She felt the jolt of pleasure clear down to her toes. She wiggled them in response, sliding her leg up his shin. The hair on his leg felt wonderful: soft—silky and smooth.

  She eased onto her side, rising up on one elbow. Noel slid behind her, his large cock poking her bottom.

  Kip rolled onto his back.

  From the other side of the room, Eldan watched, his dark eyes intense.

  He opened his legs, his cock rising upwards.

  She placed her knees astride each of his hips. He grasped her hands in his.

  “Ride me.”

  Marn
i rose up so that his cock slid insider her.

  Noel rose up on his knees to steady her body, grabbing her waist from behind.

  She moved—up and then down—the slow steady rhythm filling her body with new sensations. She felt like one of those shooting stars she’d seen during her ride on Santa’s sleigh—like she’d burst into a thousand little pieces of glittering light.

  Noel moved aside while Kip stretched out his long legs. She wiggled her bottom, feeling Noel’s hands on both of her cheeks.

  He slipped his dick inside, quickly filling her backside.

  “Noel!” She shouted when he grasped her around the waist. “Noel...” She sighed. “Kip.”

  While she rode Kip, Noel rode her.

  Marni’s need built once more, her clit throbbing in time with their mingled strokes.

  Exquisite torture. Sublime pain.

  Her orgasm rammed into her with such force that she could barely breathe.

  Kip spilled his seed inside her, while Noel filled her with his.

  She collapsed on top of Kip. He grasped her head between his hands, kissing her mouth, her cheeks, and finally her nose.

  Noel eased out of her. He rolled onto his back. Marni settled between the two of them, letting her body—and her mind—come back to earth.

  She couldn’t move a muscle.

  Eldan approached them, his stride wide and purposeful.

  She bit her lower lip, wondering what he would do.

  I can’t move...I can’t!

  Kip and Noel rose up off the bed as Eldan sat down, stroking Marni’s breasts and clit. Then he stretched his legs out wide.

  “Wrap your legs around my waist.” He told her. “Come towards me.” He eased her closer.

  The satin coverlet skimmed Marni’s backside, igniting a fire of need all over again.

  The tip of his big cock kissed her clit. While he wiggled his dick against her slick opening, he massaged her breasts.

  He pressed down on her little bud with the pad of his thumb.

  “Eldan!” She gasped. “More. More.”

  He chuckled. “Delighted.”

  He pushed his cock inside her, while his thumb circled and rotated her clit. Eldan took his time, sliding in then out of her with slow, even strokes. Each time he pushed into her, he made sure the tip of his cock touched her clit. She matched him, stroke for stroke, her body’s rhythm in time with his.
