The rules are simple:
Seduction and fantasy, and absolutely no sex.
But, the moment I get a look at the delicious redhead all rules go out the
window faster than Santa’s sleigh on Christmas night.
I shouldn’t touch her, but it is the season of giving, after all.
And I really want to give Holly a night we both will never forget.
The problem is, once she wraps that sweet little tongue on my candy cane,
I want much more than just one night.

Warning: Welcome to Jenika and Jordan’s Hot-Bite Christmas where
the packages are big, the stockings are definitely hung, and snow isn’t

year, so pull up a chair and enjoy a quick, dirty little cup of Christmas
Cheer.
Holly
If I hear one more Christmas carol, I’m going to hurl. That’s it. I hate this time
of year. It’s cold, it’s miserable, and people are just plain rude. I tried Christmas
shopping today—I really did. Fifteen minutes in the store with holiday music
playing in the background, people pushing and shoving, getting mowed down
by shopping carts, and I was done.
Which is why I’m limping on the sidewalk, with not one shopping bag to show for
Which is why I’m limping on the sidewalk, with not one shopping bag to show for
my trouble. Some woman inside the department store ran into me with her cart.
She didn’t apologize; she just huffed, like I was the one who caused the accident.
I find a bench close to the park and sit down to inspect the damage. I bend
I find a bench close to the park and sit down to inspect the damage. I bend
down to look at the back of my leg and wince at what I see. My stocking is torn
and there are these gigantic runs in the nylon going up my leg. The heel of my
foot is bloody and has been ripped open at the exact spot the back of my Jimmy
Choos slide against. My favorite pair of heels didn’t exactly escape hell either.
They’re scuffed and have serious damage. If I had it to do over I wouldn’t have
walked away. I would have given that lady a dirty look and thrown my shoe at
her before giving her the finger.
“Looks like you’ve been trampled by Santa’s reindeers,” a deep voice says to my
“Looks like you’ve been trampled by Santa’s reindeers,” a deep voice says to my
right. I turn and look at him and everything in me stills. Chills run down my back
and the voice seems to vibrate in the very center of me, sending instant
awareness through me and making my body hum with need. Which is unusual
for two reasons. One, I’ve been on a break from relationships and men in
general for the last five years. My last breakup was not good—so not good
that the thought of trusting another male scares the hell out of me. The last
and most obvious reason is the one that takes precedence, however. I don’t
know this man. I don’t know him at all and worse… He’s wearing a Santa outfit.
Great, I’ve reeled in a nut job.
“Do I know you?” I sound like a cranky old bitch right now, but I’m not in the
Great, I’ve reeled in a nut job.
“Do I know you?” I sound like a cranky old bitch right now, but I’m not in the
mood for some guy dressed up to try and get me in the holiday spirit, not matter
how good looking he is.
“I’m Santa, can’t you tell?” he says, drolly.
I rest my back against the bench and look at the stranger, feeling my eyebrows
“I’m Santa, can’t you tell?” he says, drolly.
I rest my back against the bench and look at the stranger, feeling my eyebrows
lift up in sarcastic disbelief. Yeah, he’s wearing a Santa suit, a cheesy red one
that looks like it’s made out of crushed velvet and that’s trimmed in white fake
fur. I suppose that’s not strange; ‘tis the season and all that. What doesn’t fit
the part, however, is when he yanks off the beard and hat and pulls off the
white gloves, I can see that his large, masculine hands are covered in ink.
I draw my attention back to his face. Now that the fake beard is gone I see
I draw my attention back to his face. Now that the fake beard is gone I see
he’s sporting a black beard with a bit of gray sprinkled in. Dark, almost
obsidian eyes stare down at me. They look intense, mocking and yet at the
same time somehow bored with life. He pulls out a cigarette and then lights it,
cupping his hand against the cool New York wind.
“I don’t think Santa is supposed to smoke,” I tell him.
“Sweetheart, Santa does a lot he’s not supposed to do,” he smirks and
“I don’t think Santa is supposed to smoke,” I tell him.
“Sweetheart, Santa does a lot he’s not supposed to do,” he smirks and
something about that look on his face makes my body heat.
“Whatever. You should make sure your boss doesn’t see you do that,” I mutter,
“Whatever. You should make sure your boss doesn’t see you do that,” I mutter,
annoyed because he’s making my traitorous body react when it shouldn’t.
“Santa has no boss.”
“God, can you drop the act? I’ve about had it with Christmas and the last thing
“Santa has no boss.”
“God, can you drop the act? I’ve about had it with Christmas and the last thing
I want to do is hear you tell me how you spend your days on the North Pole
playing with your reindeer,” I huff.
“I make the elves stroke my reindeer horns actually,” he smirks. “What’s got

your panties in a twist?”

“You mean besides being mowed over by a woman with a cart and ruining a
pair of pantyhose and my favorite pair of heels?”
“Who was she? I’ll put her on the naughty list,” he asks and at this point I just
“Who was she? I’ll put her on the naughty list,” he asks and at this point I just
shake my head.
Who is this guy?

Who is this guy?
“Will you give it a… What are you doing?” I feel my eyes grow big as I watch
him get down on his haunches in front of me.
“I thought that was rather obvious. I’m checking your injury out,” he murmurs,
“I thought that was rather obvious. I’m checking your injury out,” he murmurs,
ignoring my protest and pulling my leg up into his lap—despite me trying to pull
it away.

I brace myself on the bench, because if I don’t, I’m going to end up falling to
the ground. I try to kick at him, but he holds my leg firmly, not allowing the
movement.
“Will you stop? I don’t know you! And besides that, this dress is too short.
“Will you stop? I don’t know you! And besides that, this dress is too short.
You’ll have me flashing half of New York.” My voice has risen by this point.
“Stop being dramatic. My body is completely blocking you.” He dismisses my
“Stop being dramatic. My body is completely blocking you.” He dismisses my
objection and then he looks at me—really looks at me. His eyes bore into mine
, and his hand on my leg becomes tighter, almost punishing in his hold. “Are
you wearing panties?” he asks.
My body jerks in reaction. I should be repulsed. In fact, I should be panicking
My body jerks in reaction. I should be repulsed. In fact, I should be panicking
that a man I don’t know, a man dressed in a Santa suit, with a cigarette trapped
between his lips and his big—huge really—ink-covered hand wrapped around
my leg, is asking me if I’m wearing panties. What I should not be is turned on.
And, if my damp panties are any indication… I am definitely turned on.
“You did not just ask that!” I cry out, desperately trying to pull away from him.
“You did not just ask that!” I cry out, desperately trying to pull away from him.
I can’t be turned on by a stranger—a very weird, sexy as sin stranger. I cannot be
talking about my panties with said stranger and most of all, I can’t spread my legs
a little wider for him.
“Black… nice,” he says almost to himself, obviously having looked at my panties.
“Black… nice,” he says almost to himself, obviously having looked at my panties.
I’m not sure how much he can see because of my pantyhose, but despite it all I
feel my face heat, even though the air has a wintery chill to it. “Damn, honey, I’d
say the shopping cart won your war,” he mumbles around his cigarette, yet
somehow managing to make each word clear.
“Will you let go of my leg please?” I growl out, unable to pull away from his firm
“Will you let go of my leg please?” I growl out, unable to pull away from his firm
grip. I’m thinking that what I thought might be padding to fill out the Santa suit
is actually just plain muscle. If his hands are anything to go by, he’s huge.
What is it they say about large hands again?
I squirm uncomfortably. I really shouldn’t be thinking about that at all.
