"Here babe...lick this for me." Shayna unwrapped and ran the red and green striped candy cane across Caleb's lips, her eyes dancing with merriment as his tongue darted over its sticky surface, wetting its curved hook then its length. "Mmmm...peppermint, my favorite. How did you know?"
"Lucky guess..." her voice trailed off as she met his warm lips in a peppermint kiss.
"Come on, open the rest of your stocking, Sweetheart."...Shayna broke away from the kiss prematurely and pushed the bursting colorful red Christmas stocking at Caleb.
"K honey...what is all this?" he pulled out dark chocolate, cashews, other typical stocking stuffers...ohhh batteries. For what Shay?"
"For your flashlights! Hehe." She playfully responded.
"Yes, they will come in handy when I need to look for you under the sheets at night," Cale winked and returned to his bounty...stuffing his hand into the bottom and retrieving what must surely be a mistake deep in the toe of his stocking: "Oh? A red lacey thong..." he raised his eyebrow at Shayna.
"Oh, Santa must have found you extra nice to include that..." her lids lowered as she turned a little pink in the cheeks. Caleb loved to see Shayna blush. It didn't happen often but when it did, it made his heart race. He could not help but think of the rosy hue on her cheeks similar to that of when they made love. How he loved to see her face flush from cumming, knowing he did that to her.
"Your turn," Caleb turned to her upon turning the stocking upside down and shaking it out to make sure all had been found.
Shayna plunged her hand into the worn woolen sock her late grandmother had lovingly knitted when she and Baylee were young girls. She had always loved the stretchiness of the knit as a child, knowing it could fit far more stuffers than any pre-formed store-bought model. But now, it was the sentimentality of it all...this was the last remaining memory of a past time, bringing back memories of homemade gingerbread cookies and burying her face in her grandmother's apron to smell the smells of a kitchen full of aromas.
Shayna was lost in a reverie of nostalgia. She and Baylee used to have contests about who could crayon the prettiest picture for their grandma. In the end, both pictures hung side by side on the old corkboard by the back door, signed and prominently placed for Grandma's visitors to notice and coo over.
"Shayna? Go ahead...I am so excited for you to go through your stocking." Caleb hissed as his lips grazed her hair in a kiss that got her tingling. She had a mind to toss the stocking aside and drag him off to bed.
But instead she retrieved the goodies: a container...looking like night cream...body chocolate with the directions "Spread evenly and enjoy. Warning, may contain nuts." Shayna giggled. Followed by an aerosol can of whipped cream. And oh, a luminescent cock ring. " Ah, Caleb...no need for that flashlight in the sheets!" She quipped.
Her hands found her favorites: the December issue of

, Lindt chocolates, emery boards, a variety of scented candles, charcoal gray stockings. "Oh Cale, these are thoughtful gifts! Thank you!" Shayna threw her arms round his neck and kissed him deeply, their tongues meeting and dancing, darting together with the promise of more. She broke away again prematurely to perform the upside down stocking shaking ritual.
Empty. She duly noted, except her eyes flew to the misshapen toe of the red knitted stocking. No, there was something trapped. Her small manicured hand glided inside the length of the stocking to discover a box, oblong and flat. She pulled it out and smiled at Caleb "More?"
He nodded, his eyes begging her to open it. She flipped the top, revealing not one, not two, not three, but four identical red silk scarves. Her eyes flew to Caleb's quizzically.
And as she took the long trail of silkiness from the folds of the bright gold tissue paper, he was on her, helping her.
"Here, let me show you..." he gently slid each scarf from the box, looping them around her extremities...her wrists, then her ankles, tying each one loosely, but securely around her milky colored wrists and ankles. Her body was tingling now with the sweet anticipation of a child awaiting Christmas morning! Her head was spinning, her senses filled with the possibilities.
