The Elves and I Page 8


  Marni rolled her eyes. “More elf folklore?”

  Celyn grinned. “You bet.”

  They yelled together.

  Suddenly, there was a commotion in the hall. Several guards fought off three tall elves and a short, muscular one...

  “Eldan!” Marni cried. “Kip! Noel! We’re here!”

  Celyn called out when she saw one of Glint’s evil elves take a swing at Aardel. “Aardel! Oh, Aardel, be careful.”

  Marni watched the four elves battle Glint’s guards, feeling helpless. They dodged blows from the evil elves’ clubs.

  She hated feeling powerless.

  While Eldan fought off one guard, another raised a club over his head.

  “You leave him alone!”

  She ran for the guard, leaping onto his back.

  Celyn joined in the fracas when one of the guards punched Aardel.

  Marni beat on the guard’s head.

  “Don’t you dare hurt these elves! I love them.”

  Suddenly, they stopped fighting.

  The guard tossed her from his back. She landed on the stone floor—on her butt.

  “What did you say?”

  She scrambled to her feet. “You heard me, I said I love them.”

  Glint’s guards scratched their heads. “Love?”

  “Idiots!” Glint strode over to them. “Lock them all in the dungeon.”

  Not one of his guards moved.

  “I had no idea they loved each other.” Glint’s guard shook his head.

  Glint rolled his eyes. “Love stinks.”

  Celyn lifted her chin. She hugged Aardel around the waist. “Love is beautiful.”

  Glint turned to the guards behind him. “Get them! Now,” he growled.

  They shook their heads. “They’re way too cheery. Isn’t there some kind of elf rule that says if you harm a cheery person during the holidays, you’ll get coal in your stocking?”

  Glint rolled his eyes. “Don’t be ridiculous. That’s elf nonsense.”

  “It’s true!” Marni piped in. “If you get Santa mad, he’ll do a lot more than put coal in your stockings.

  “You work for Santa?” One of the guards asked.

  “You bet.” Kip stated.

  The guards walked over and stood behind them.

  “So do we!”

  “You idiots!” Glint stomped his feet. “You work for me, not Santa!”

  “Not anymore!” Eldan growled low in his throat.

  He balled his hand into a fist and did a very un-elflike thing: he punched Glint right in the nose.

  Hopefully, Santa would forgive him.

  Epilogue

  “...and so, the elves worked together to rebuild Santa’s Toy Shop, each lending their own unique talents to the job. They finished in time for Christmas, enabling Santa to deliver toys to children all over the world.”

  Marni closed the book then cuddled against Eldan’s chest. He wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close. She snuggled next to him, her clit pulsing each time he played with the tips of her breasts.

  “Did you like the story?” She reached up to stroke his face.

  “Yes. The children will like it, too.”

  “Maybe I can read it to them the next time we visit them in the hospital.”

  Noel lay next to her, his fingers threading through her hair, massaging her head. Beneath the covers, he stroked her pussy, his fingers teasing her little bud. Each pass of his hand made her wet—her need for release building.

  “You’ve got quite a gift for the written word, lass.”

  She beamed with pleasure—and pride.

  Kip stretched out at her feet. He massaged each one, lifting her big toe to suck it gently into his mouth. She gasped when his long tongue slipped between her big toe and the one next to it.

  Her body ignited.

  She shifted against Eldan, allowing Noel to stroke her back and butt. He slipped a finger inside her ass, giving her that wonderfully full feeling.

  Playful Kip.

  He dipped his head under the covers. She lifted the sheet to see the top of his head. When his lips teased her bud, her clit throbbed, begging for release.

  “Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

  Noel removed his finger, filling her backside with his shaft.

  Eldan rolled to his side, watching his friends work their holiday magic on Marni.

  Then he took her, sliding his cock inside, bringing her, and him, to orgasm.

  “You’re a wonderful holiday present, lass.” Noel grinned.

  Kip winked. “A sweet holiday treat.”

  “I love you.” Eldan said softly.

  Her eyes filled with happy tears.

  “We all love you, Marni.” Kip and Noel said in unison.

  “And I love the three of you.”

  She’d received the best Christmas gift of all: one simple wish, just...

  The Elves and I.
