It was Christmas Eve! Christopher and Marianne just got home from her Mum's house. It was around 8PM. They almost stayed over to have Christmas morning at her house but decided since it was their first Christmas together, they wanted it to spend part of the evening on their own at their house. They would head back over there mid morning. They knew they could not be too late because Margaret was not patient enough to wait and open her gifts.

Christopher started a fire and set up pillows and blankets by the tree. Marianne put on some soft classical Christmas music and brought out two glasses of wine for them. She came out and saw Christopher sitting on the floor by the fire and the Christmas tree. He smiled when he saw Marianne walk over to him. She handed him his glass and sat down against his chest as he wrapped his other arm around her. He planted a soft kiss on the side of her head. "Are you having a nice Christmas so far?" He asked her. She looked at him and smiled. "It has been wonderful. I have the best gift too." She stated as she reached up to kiss him. "You are the best gift." Christopher stated when their lips parted. They both smiled at each other. "Do you want to open your other present now or wait until tomorrow morning?" He asked her. She giggled. "Tomorrow, I always wanted to wait until Christmas morning to open gifts. Even though Mum and Dad would let us open one on Christmas Eve." She explained smiling. Christopher giggled. "I was the same way." He stated. "Besides." Marianne said as she sat up and put her wine glass down and turned towards him. She took his glass and put it down as well. "Like I said, I already have the best gift." She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. The kisses increased in intensity. "I am looking forward to unwrapping my present" Christopher said as he laid her down on the blankets and pillows. Marianne smiled as Christopher moved his kisses down her neck. His hand moved down her neck over her breast and towards her stomach. He reached his left hand under her sweater to feel her bare skin. Marianne gasped at his warm touch. He began pushing her sweater up until her breasts were exposed as he continued his kisses on her ear and neck. "Lets go upstairs." She moaned. "No, I want to make love to you right here by the fire. You are so beautiful Marianne." He said. He pulled back to look her in the eyes with a grin. She was panting and smiling at him as well. "I would like to open one of my gifts tonight." He admitted. "Well go ahead." She told him. He smiled and leaned down to kiss her. They sat up while their lips were still connected. Christopher reached for her sweater and began pulling it up. They reluctantly separated to get her clothing off. Marianne started unbuttoning his shirt. While she was doing that Christopher used the opportunity to rub his hands up and down her body stopping to feel her breasts over her bra.

Soon their clothes were in a pile thrown by the sofa. Christopher kissed her all over starting from her lips down to her legs, paying special attention to the sensitive area between her thighs. Marianne was moaning and caressing his hair as he was bringing her to climax by the wonderful motions of his lips and tongue. "Oh Christopher!" She moaned as she came. He moved back up her body and kissed her mouth again. Marianne maneuvered them to their sides. She wanted this evening to last. She gently pushed him by the shoulder for him to lay on his back. He had not planned this move but she seemed very happy to take control for the moment. They pulled back and smiled at each other. She soon started kissing him again moving down his neck to his chest. She moved her body over him at an angle. Her kisses moved down to his stomach. Marianne grinned between kisses as she heard his sighing and soft moaning. Christopher knew where she was heading. Marianne reached his fully erect member. She took gentle hold of it and caressed it as she looked at him. "Oh Marianne. I love your touch." He said with his eyes closed. She soon replaced her hand with her warm mouth. That was enough for Christopher to lift his head in ecstasy and looked down at her. "Oh my God Marianne. That feels so good." He sighed as he saw the sight of her giving him so much pleasure. He reached down and held her head as she continued her movements. Marianne loved giving him this kind of pleasure just as much as he enjoyed giving it to her. "Oh, sweetheart I am almost there." He gasped. Marianne could sense he wasn't going to last much longer. She began moving her kisses back up his body. When she reached his chest he reached down and placed both hands on either side of her face so she could look up at him. They made eye contact as she grinned at him. "You are amazing. I want you so much Marianne." He declared. Marianne reached up and kissed him on the lips. He wrapped his arms around her as her turned her so she was now on her back and he was over her. They shifted their positions as she opened her legs and he adjusted his body to rest between them. His erection resting against her pelvis. He leaned down and kissed her again. They pulled away and looked at each other in the eyes. He smiled down at her as he stroked her hair. "Merry Christmas my love." He said. She smiled up and reached her hand to stroke his cheek. "Merry Christmas darling. I love you." He smiled back. "I love you too." He leaned down to kiss her again as he adjusted his body and pushed inside her. Marianne moaned as they continued to kiss. The pace was gentle at the beginning as the pair exchanged kisses in between moans of pleasure. Soon their strokes increased. Christopher pushed himself up on his hands so he could watch her feel her pleasure. Marianne rested her hands on his shoulders as they continued to move and share eye contact. Marianne felt her release approaching fast. Christopher could sense it too as her moans became deeper and louder. He was grateful because he knew his was going to come very soon. He adjusted his body and increased his thrusts so he could go as deep inside her as possible. That pulled Marianne over the edge and she threw her head back in a moan that included his name. Christopher smiled but soon turned into a moan as he felt her tighten around him. A few more strokes and he felt his release deep inside her and moaned again. He thrust into her a couple more times and then laid down on top off her reaching for her mouth for another kiss.

The soft kisses continued as they came down from their high. He pulled away to look down at her as they lay there panting and sweaty. She had the biggest grin on her face. He smiled as he panted as well. She reached up and ran her hand through his hair. "I think we have a new Christmas Eve tradition." She explained. He laughed. "Yes, this is a new tradition I will look forward too. In the future we will have to make sure the children are in bed early Christmas Eve." Marianne smiled at the thought. "I am looking forward to it." He leaned down and kissed her again. They laid close together for awhile enjoying the closeness by the tree and fire.

It turned out to be a wonderful Christmas. They both had a wonderful time at their house and with her family. Christopher got Marianne a beautiful silver charm bracelet with a Christmas tree charm engraved with C&M 1st Christmas on it. She was looking forward to getting more for it to signify important milestones in their life together. Marianne found a rare published book of Shakespeare poems she knew Christopher would love and wrote "Merry Christmas my love. Here is to many more together, Love Marianne." He loved it and looked forward to reading some out loud to her.
