Chapter Five
Though she’d had one-night stands before, they had usually been when she’d had too much to drink.
Every time she’d regretted her actions the next morning because those men had not touched her heart, just her body.
With Enrico, the need for the man was more than just drunken horniness since she was stone cold sober, just hyped up on sugar from the hot chocolate and pie.
With the cameras in the building turned off, she was not sure how to proceed. Should she try to seduce this man who claimed to be one of Santa’s fabled assistants? Or should she stop whatever this was before it went any further? She could still go home before anything else happened between them.
Enrico seemed to have no such problem with indecision.
He closed the distance between them and wrapped his arms around her.
Though they had just been outside in the cool air, he felt warm as he held her securely against his chest. Looking up, she was not surprised when he kissed her.
As soon as his lips settled over hers, any qualms Celyn may have had evaporated like ice on a summer’s day.
“Want you,” she panted in the few racing heartbeats their lips parted as Enrico tilted his head a little further to the right before taking her lips again. She pressed deeper into his body, needing to be closer than their clothes allowed.
Never before had she felt this way for a man. Any man. What was it about Enrico that affected her so strongly?
He held her and continued to kiss her as he began to sway. She moved with him when he began to dance them down the hall and around the main room of the pub. He slowed as they neared the bar. Then they stopped dancing and simply held each other as they kissed.
Celyn slid her arms under his coat and around his muscular body. Then, feeling playful, she ran her hands down his back, past his waist to cup his denim-covered butt. With a giggle, she spread her fingers wide before grabbing the flesh of both ass cheeks at once.
Enrico growled deep in his throat as his hips canted forward to press his long, hard thickness into her body just inches above her aching clit. Celyn’s want for this man flew over the line of excited anticipation into demanding need unlike anything she had ever felt before.
She needed their clothes to be gone.
She needed his skin pressed to hers.
She needed his cock driving into her body.
She needed to come with him.
Jerking her mouth from his, Celyn stepped back, breaking his hold. He looked startled, but did not move when her hands slid back up to his waist. Bringing her hands around to the front, she opened his belt then began to work the buttons on his jeans.
In the meantime, Enrico shrugged out of his coat before pulling his shirt over his head and throwing it to the floor as well.
His bare chest might be pale, but the light dusting of hair over the rippling muscles made it a perfect chest. Celyn’s fingers fumbled on the button she was working on as she lost herself in his bare skin.
Enrico chuckled and stepped back until she could no longer touch him. “Strip, sweet Celyn. I don’t know how much longer I can keep from ripping your clothes off of you.”
Taking a deep breath, Celyn turned away as she shed her clothes.
before quickly shedding her yellow sneakers, blue leggings, purple vest and yellow sweater.
When she got down white lace bra and thong, she hesitated.
Turning around, she found Enrico standing a few feet away wearing only a pair of bright green boxers with red and white candy canes all over them.
“Cute boxers,” she said with a smirk.
“Thanks. I like your scanties, too. Take them off,” he said, hooking his thumbs into the waistband of his boxers.
With a grin so wide the muscles across the back of her skull felt tight, Celyn reached behind her back and unhooked her bra.
Bending over, she let the bra slide down and off her arms before pushing her panties down her legs.
Once they were on the floor, she stepped out of them, but stayed bent over until she saw Enrico’s boxers hit the floor.
Only then did she straighten, her gaze slowly rising over his now naked body.
Her eyes widened when she reached his cock, and she began to pant in anticipation.
He might claim to be an elf, but he was all man where it counted.
