EMMY
A few months later…
The sound of jingle bells and The Temptations Christmas album filled the air as I opened gifts with my family.My cellphone gave a few vibrations and I saw Zane’s name flash on the screen.
Can’t wait to see you tonight, the text read.
Me either. I can’t wait to give you your present, I sent back to him as laughter broke out around me.
My Uncle Joe, and my brothers Benny and Jeff were cracking jokes on each other about something that had happened years prior.
Slowly, I got up from the table and headed into the kitchen to fix another plate of food.
“Girl you are starting to fill out some,” my mama commented from where she stood at the stove.
“Mama, leave Emerald alone,” Diamond walked in behind me. “Besides, y'all know who the thickest one in this family is.”
I rolled my eyes playfully because Diamond’s ass was the size of Houston.
“So what’s this I hear about you going to a Christmas dance at a motorcycle club?” Mama Kay asked.
I chuckled because if my mom saw the leather outfit I was wearing to this party she’d lock me in her bedroom and never let me out. “The Sinners are doing a toy drive and a Christmas party. Nothing too fancy.”
“So you and Zane are getting really serious, huh?” Diamond asked.
My eyes darted to her arm where I’d bit her. “We are.”
Diamond smiled, "I always always just want you to be happy."
She smiled as our other sister walked in and Summer commented. “Aww, is he about to be our new brother?”
“Whoa,” I looked at the two of them. “We are dating. Marriage is not on the table just yet.”
Diamond came over and hugged me and I returned the embrace before my mother and little sister joined in.
“Oh, I think this is the best present I’ve had in a long time. All my girls are home and happy. And my boys too,” my mother stepped back and wiped at her eye.
“Oh mama, don’t cry, please,” I whispered before pulling her into another hug.
Eventually, we all had a laugh and Benny and Jeff joined in while my nieces and nephews ran around eating crawfish I’d been trying to hide and take home. As it started to get later and later into the evening, I finally had to drive home while promising to come back for post-Christmas brunch.
Entering into the house, I took a look at the Christmas gift I was giving Zane later on tonight. I was hoping that he was going to love it because I’d been trying to figure out what to give him for nearly a month.
I had laid my outfit out on the bed before I’d left for Mama Kay’s and I clapped my hands together so excited.
The therapist I’d been seeing since Gayle’s crazy ass had kidnapped me had recommended that I try new things, be a little more adventurous.
Don’t let fear invade my mind.
Those were her words exactly.
So here I was on Christmas night, about to pull on some tights that looked like leather and a corseted top made of the same material.
Once I got dressed, I took a deep breath and checked out my reflection. The entire outfit was clinging to every single curve as if it were a second skin. Twirling around in the bright red stiletto hills I knew I’d have his attention.
Grabbing my cute little silver and black clutch and a leather jacket I headed out of the house. I’d been to just one event at the Sinner’s club house and everyone had been so friendly.
The president, Loki, had even referred to me as Zane’s old lady causing me to blush.
It seemed to take forever to get to the club, but once I did my nerves seemed to flare up.
“No fear,” I whispered to myself before going inside.
The club was buzzing with merriment and people smiling from ear to ear. A few people were already drunk, and I took the gift card I’d purchased and placed it under the tree for the toy drive. I’d selected a family who was requesting money for groceries and I didn’t have the heart not give more than a thousand dollars.
Butch and Bo, the twins I’d met the same day Gayle had lost her marbles sat their gifts down as well.
“Well, well, well,” Bo grinned. "Look at you!”
“It’s nice to see,” Butch smiled.
“Merry Christmas you two,” I grinned. “Where are the wives?”
Bo jerked his thumb over his shoulder. “Mel is over there talking to the Prez and his old lady.”
“Andy should be here in a bit, she was delivering turkeys with Pastor Stone, we attend his church here and there,” Butch nodded.
“Have you guys seen Zane, yet?”
They nodded and pointed me in the direction of my man. He was mingling and laughing with more of the Sinners and their wives when I slid up next to him at the bar. A tall leggy brunette who introduced herself as Kiki seemed to have herself draped over him.
“Hey…babe,” I smiled looking at the other woman.
He grinned and leaned over to kiss me on the cheek before whispering. “Don’t act up.”
I looked back at him and smiled. “Tell the bitch to step off before I get crazy then.”
Zane grinned and pushed Kiki off him. “You heard my Old Lady, you need to go on.”
The other wives belonging to the Sinners let off some high-pitched cackles before dragging Kiki away before she got a Christmas present from me that she couldn’t wrap.
“Can’t leave you alone for five minutes,” I muttered.
Zane took a sip of his liquor and then handed me the cup. “There is nobody I want but you.”
I rolled my eyes and took a sip, before gagging. It was straight-up Hennessy. “Gross.”
“I got Bobby in here bartending tonight, you want a Pantry Dropper.”
I shook my head. “No. I need to be sober to drive you back to my place tonight.”
“Mmm, so you’re gonna give me what I want tonight for Christmas, right.”
“You so nasty,” I whispered before easing up on my tiptoes our mouth’s dancing dangerously close before I nipped at his bottom lip.
“That’s the only way I know how to be. You look so fucking good tonight too…I’m having a hard time stopping myself from bending you over in here and taking what I want right now.”
It was true, I could already feel him getting hard through the dark-colored jeans he was wearing.
"Stop trying to unlock new kinks,” I grinned.
“Fine, but I would like to give you your gift,” he finally kissed me.
“If you say it's in your pants, I’ll break up with you…”
He chuckled low and deep. “It is, but that’s not the gift I’m giving you. Stay right here.”
Zane made his way around the bar and dipped down before popping up again, this time with a small silver gift box with a red bow. He strolled confidently back around and handed it to me, our fingers brushing each other.
Taking the gift from him, I stared up into his face as he whispered, “Merry Christmas, Stank.”
Carefully, I undid the bow and pulled the lid of the box open to find a sterling silver pearl ring surrounded by emeralds.
“Fuck, this is too much,” I whispered.
"You don’t like it?” He asked carefully as if he’d made a mistake.
“No, it's perfect,” I was already slipping it on. “Thank you.”
Slowly while still admiring the ring, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. It was honestly one of the most beautiful gifts I’d ever received.
For the next few hours, we partied with the sinners until Zane had enough. He was ready to go home because I’d kept teasing him about my gift all night.
As I drove us home, because he’d caught a ride share to the club, I couldn’t stop admiring my ring every time the lights hit the diamonds.
I felt so full of love and felt genuinely happy.
Once we reached my house, the second we walked inside I got a little nervous.
“Okay, you have to stay here,” I grinned.
“Why?”
“You’ll see, but first I’m going to blindfold you…”
“Oh so you're the one unlocking new kinks,” he licked his lips and rubbed his hands together.
“Here put this on” I whispered before reaching onto the little stand by the door where I’d placed the blindfold.
As he slipped it on, I grabbed his hand and led him to the living room. Roughly, I shoved him into a chair and he caught himself, chuckling at the sudden movements.
“Stay still and no peeking,” I told him.
He promised and I hurried to the bedroom where I had one more outfit, if you could call it that.
Sitting on my nightstand was the sexiest lacy green and red concoction you could ever imagine. Hurriedly I pulled it on, and my titties were barely covered and the small g-string thong left little to the imagination. It had a matching glittering red and green hat.
I kept the heels on and then slowly walked back into the living room.
“Alexa,” I whispered loud enough for my Echo Dot to pick up my voice. “Play my Santa, Baby mix…”
As Eartha Kitt’s raspy voice began to lilt out of the speaker, I told my man to remove his mask.
“Goddamn,” he licked his lips.
“I had this pole put in a few days ago,” I smiled pointing to the stripper pole. “Now enjoy the show…”
With ease from some of the practice I’d acquired from the secret classes I’d been taking, I eased my body around the pole.
As the song moved to Christopher Maurice Brown’s version of This Christmas, I began to dip and thrust giving slight hints of my pussy.
Locking eyes with Zane, I gave a spin before arching around the pole and sliding all the way down…
He couldn’t take another second and eased out of his chair as the anticipation ate the both of us up.
Sliding up his body and making sure to graze over his dick on the way up, he dipped down and pulled me in close.
“Now that’s a fucking Christmas gift, Stank…”
Our lips crashed together as his hands drifted down to my ass before he picked me up and carried me into my bedroom. As he laid me down on my bed, and moved my G string to the side, I knew this was going to be one Christmas night I’d never, ever forget.
