A/N: Huzzah for our first major time skip. This story takes place much later on for the sake of Christmas spirit, so enjoy and don't feel too confused if some characters seem to have suddenly changed.
A bit of a short one today, but I had to get this done and posted today, as I won't have internet for the next week and I don't want to post it after Christmas.

The evening air settled in not at a freezing temperature which would have young couples huddled under a blanket with mugs of hot chocolate, smiling all lovey-dovey at one another as they stared into the dancing flame of an open fire, but at a crisp, gently-nipping cold which had people hurrying their asses up when rushing home for the night. Not exactly the most cliché setting for Christmas Eve, but the simple fact of the matter is that the original colonists landed in this specific spot on this specific planet, where the Galactic Standard Time dictated Christmas to be during early spring. Jake could already imagine getting into an argument with Advena about how it wasn't stupid that all Christmas movies took place in snowy winters solely because the original USA on Earth just happened to experience that season on the 25th of December.

He sighed peacefully, his breath not coming out in a plume of steam, but as regular breath, chest deflating beneath moderate clothing; enough to keep the bite out of the air, but not exactly scarves and beanies with woollen mittens slung over delicate hands.

"Sucks it doesn't snow here," Jake commented idly as he observed the sparsely-populated streets of the Resistance colony. People stood on ladders resting against their homes, on roofs or supporting from the ground in order to get decorations up; mostly in the way of red and green fairy lights.

"Why's that?" Advena asked curiously, tucking her tail around herself miserably. Despite the relatively moderate temperature, she, along with several other Xenos, was decked out in a thick scarf draped around her neck, along with a small beanie perched awkwardly on the back of her elongated head. It turned out Xenos weren't very fond of the cold, and she'd spent all of the previous winter getting sick and being miserable – something that couldn't be helped by wrapping up like humans do, as fitting clothing on Xenomorphs was much harder than it seemed. Chicken soup and lots of blankets worked wonders on her though, and Jake got many, many brownie points over the course of that season.

"Well, in the spirit of Christmas, it would have been nice to build a snowman with you. I'm sure you would have loved it."

"Don't lie to yourself, Jake. You just want to throw snowballs at me," she accused him amusedly.

"That too," Jake chuckled, rubbing her dome fondly. "Now where is that little guy? He's late."

"Little guy?" Advena questioned him, "He's bigger than you by a long shot, Jake."

"Yeah, I know, but he acts like he's little. Always blushing and mumbling quietly. Real polite too. I suppose it just goes to show how similar our races can be. Y'know, like you can still be an introvert even when you've got big claws and sharp teeth."

"Here he comes now, I think." Sure enough, the timid Xenomorph in question padded over to them, shuffling on two legs shyly while fidgeting with his free hands.

"Hey Mo'," Jake greeted him casually.

"Hello Jacob," Mozart returned, casting a quick glance around himself. "I apologise for my lateness; I had to make sure Jeica didn't see me go out."

"Uh, okay," Jake uttered, deciding it was better just to accept it. "So what did you want to talk about?"

"What would you give a human woman as a gift?" he asked, turning away embarrassedly. He was certainly underdressed for the weather, proven by a slight shiver which ran down his spines.

"Uh, geez, it's been a while. Hm… lemme see… something shiny I guess? Girls love pretty things. Like jewellery."

"Human women like jewellery?" Mozart double-checked, and received a half-hearted nod from Jake.

"I mean, generally speaking, yeah."

"Thank you. I shall search for some jewellery then." Then Mozart raised his head, took another quick look around, and bolted, allowing himself to fall onto all fours for the extra speed. The duo watched him disappear around a corner for a moment, partially stunned by his frantic, sporadic movements. When Advena had regained her composure, she leaned in closer to Jake.

"You do realise he was talking about Jeica, right?"

"What? He never said that. What are you talking about?"

"It was implied!" Advena cried, exasperated.

"Well shit," Jake muttered, scratching his chin as he stared at the spot he'd last seen Mozart. "It's probably a bit late to change my answer now, isn't it?" Advena nodded, though Jake didn't really need the confirmation. "It'll certainly give us something interesting to watch at the party tomorrow, I guess."

"Mm, speaking of which, does Tyler know? He gets distracted very easily with his little projects. Actually, maybe it would be better if we told Sal."

"Eh, it's Jeica's party; she'll sort it out." Advena rolled her figurative eyes at his behaviour, beginning to saunter off in the direction of their house.

"You're lucky that I'm growing icicles off my ass here or I might've argued the point. As it is, I'm very eager to get back into our nice, cosy living room."

"And hey, if you like, I can help warm your ass back up for you."

"Oh, grow up Jake," Advena scoffed, despite not trying in the slightest to hide her amused grin. Jake chuckled to himself victoriously as he jogged to catch up to her; she wasn't kidding about the eagerness to get home, if her quick gait was anything to go by.

~~~~~~~~~~()~~~~~~~~~

"It's not stupid!" Jake protested as he and Advena trudged through the rapidly-cooling evening streets. "It's like a birthday."

"Except birthdays actually hold some significance in their date. Christmas is just so… arbitrary. 'Oh hey, let's pick a random day of the year to give each other presents, because we're humans!'"

"Hey, Christmas has plenty of meaning!" Jake argued, sidestepping a rushing citizen. The town was mostly empty as people took to homes, huddling in the warm areas, laughter drifting from well-lit houses as everyone forgot their troubles and had a merry Christmas. "Jesus Christ died on Christmas, or something."

"Jeez, everyone must have hated him if they made a public holiday to celebrate his death."

"Okay, I admit, that was a poor explanation. He like, died for our sins or something like that. He did a nice thing, so we celebrate him."

"So you're a Christian?"

"What? No."

"Then why are you celebrating a Christian holiday?"

"Ah, forget it!" Jake exclaimed, throwing his arms up in the air in exasperation. "You're impossible, you know that?" Advena slapped his butt with her tail playfully as they stepped onto Jeica's front porch, grinning from ear to figurative ear.

"Oh, come. I was only teasing. I think it's nice humans have these little holidays. Certainly beats the bee-policy us Xenos have had for the last few centuries."

"Bee policy?" Jake echoed as he knocked on the door politely. Footsteps came from inside, ready to let them in.

"Work 'til you die; the bee policy. That's what I like to call it anyway."

"Yeouch. And you complain when I bust your ass during training." The door clicked open, revealing Jeica, who was quick to welcome them warmly.

"Make yourself comfortable, I'm just finishing up in the kitchen," Jeica called to them over her shoulder as she disappeared deeper into the house. Advena quickly shed her few articles of clothing now that she was in the heated home, huffing a sigh of relief when the warm air kissed her bare skin. Jake chuckled at her and slid off his coat, slinging it upon the coat rack in a much more dignified manner than Advena's small heap on the floor. Before they could make their way to the living room, the door swung open once more, giving them both a quick blast of cold air, before being cut off once more with a soft click. Tyler stepped inside with Sal close on his heels, giving a dramatic 'brr' as he placed two carefully-wrapped presents on the ground and shrugged off his coat.

"Hiya," he mumbled as he retrieved one of the gifts. "Thought that in the spirit of Christmas, now would be as good a time as any to give you this," Tyler stated as he pressed it into Advena's hands. She blushed gratefully as she accepted the small package and clutched it close to her chest.

"Oh, you shouldn't have," she gushed.

"I know, I know, we're too old for Christmas presents, but I was gonna give it to you anyway, and thought, hey, why not get a little festive." Advena chuckled and the four of them found a comfy place to sit in the living room.

"Who was the other one for?" Jake inquired curiously, jerking a thumb back in the direction of the front door.

"Hm? Oh, that's for another friend of mine," Tyler answered dismissively.

"Wait, you have other friends?" Jake exclaimed. "Well damn, out of all of us, Tyler is the one with other friends."

"Uh, I have other friends," Jeica put in, brow furrowing in confusion as she popped out of the kitchen to cast a glance at Jake. "Just not really the type you'd want to hang out with on Christmas. Are you saying that you don't have other friends?"

"Well, I mean, 'Vena and I…" Jake trailed off as he felt Advena's emotions shift to a pang of guilt. "Oh god, you too, huh?"

"Well, I mean, there are a few Xenos from the station who I hang out with and go hunting with occasionally…" Advena admitted carefully, avoiding looking into Jake's eyes.

"I mean, sure I have a couple of acquaintances, but… damn, really? Only me? Mo'?" Mozart gently shook his head, blushing slightly. "Damn, I have to step up my game. Go bowling or something. Do we have a bowling alley here?" Jake took Tyler's eye roll as a 'no' and smirked as he flopped back in his seat.

"Mo', give me a hand in here, will ya?" Jeica called softly, her Xenomorph immediately jumping up and trotting into the kitchen.

"Hey, maybe we should give our Xenos a taster of the Christmas spirit," Jake suggested, "like, a good old classic Christmas story. Know any good ones?" Tyler snickered and leaned forward in his seat.

"Oh yeah, I have a great one. It's called 'the Matchstick Girl' or something."

"Huh, haven't heard that one before," Jake admitted. "Well, you've piqued my interest, go ahead."

"Basically, there's this little girl on a cold Christmas day, she's poor – oh, and her family beats her – and she was sent out by her father to sell matchsticks. But get this, she hadn't sold any matchsticks that night, and knew she'd be better off not returning home at all when she was empty-handed. So, she huddles up in an alleyway, shivering in the cold, and lights up a match to try to stay warm. Then she sees through the wall of the home before her a family having dinner. The match goes out, she lights another, sees another family around the fire having a good time, yada yada yada, then she hallucinates that she sees the ghost of her dead grandmother and freezes to death. The end."

"What?" Jake spluttered. "That's it? No heart-warming Saint Nicholas-ness or anything?"

"That's it," Tyler said simply.

"No way, you're bullshitting. That's not a real Christmas story."

"It is!" Tyler insisted whilst the Xenomorph simply watched the back-and-forth in confusion. "Trust me, you can even look it up."

"You know what, I totally will." And Jake did. He fished out his phone and quickly searched up 'matchstick girl Christmas story' on his browser. Sure enough he found a page detailing a story called 'The Little Match Girl', and a brief skimming of the summary revealed the truth in Tyler's words. "That's the stupidest Christmas story I've ever seen!" Jake cried when he'd put his phone down.

"Right?" Tyler agreed amusedly.

"So Jesus Christ and a Little Match Girl both died because of Christmas? I thought this was supposed to be a happy holiday, not a celebration of mass death," Advena remarked.

"Wait, what? Jesus didn't die on Christmas day. He was born on Christmas."

"Jake told me he died," Advena explained, casting an accusatory glare at her lover.

"Whatever," Jake grumbled, "it's not as if any of it actually happened."

"Amen to that," Tyler snorted.

"Food's ready!" Jeica informed them from the other room.

"Sweet, I'm dying for some of Mozart's world-famous cooking," Jake jibed as the four friends relinquished their seats on the sofa in favour of finding a seat in the dining room, where the table was adorned with steaming plates of whole roast chicken, vegetables, breads and spreads. "Hey, isn't the traditional meal goose?" Jake quizzed as he sat down.

"And you expect me to find a goose where?" Jeica shot back as she laid out some cutlery.

"Point taken." They then proceeded to pile up their plates with the hot food and generous helpings of gravy.

"Amazing as always, Mozart," Tyler complimented him after delighting in the first bite.

"Actually, Jeica did most of the work this time," Mo' told him proudly. While Tyler congratulated her, Jake and Advena quickly had a hushed conversation and began fidgeting in their corner of the table, until…

"Excuse me," Advena said politely, squeezing in-between Jeica and Mozart to grab a small pot of gravy. "Great stuff, this gravy." She turned, and paused for a moment, her tail raised high in the air, dangling just above their heads. Jeica glanced up peevishly, ready to ask Advena what she was doing, before pausing as she spotted a small plant tied to her tail.

"No way!" she exclaimed.

"Well well well, looks like two star-crossed lovers beneath the mistletoe to me!" Jake laughed.

"Did you seriously ship this tiny plant all the way over here from Earth just for the sake of a little gag?" Jeica grumbled with a scowl, unsure of whether to be mortified or impressed.

"You know the rules; you two have to kiss now." Advena shook her tail for emphasis while Mozart simply stared at Jeica in shock, and she could just imagine him with a pair of wide, innocent puppy-dog eyes.

"Is that true?" he asked.

"It's not rules, it's just some silly tradition –"

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" Advena began chanting. Jeica scoffed at her, but eventually caved in after Jake joined in.

"Alright, alright!" she yielded. She cupped Mozart's cheeks gently, eliciting an unconscious purr from the Xeno, leaned in, and gave him a light peck on his dome. "There."

"Boo!" Jake yelled, giving her a thumbs-down. "Boo I say! You call that a kiss? Boo!"

"Oh boo yourself!" Jeica snapped in pretend anger. "You can sit back down now, Advena." Advena did as she was told and eagerly began digging into her meal, and the humans slipped their conversation into telepathy due to their mouths being occupied with the delicious meal.

"The town looks very pretty with all the lights and decorations," Sal commented, "but it does seem like a waste of effort, putting it all up only to take it down a day or two later."

"I think you've been spending too much time around Tyler," Jake snickered, referring to the analytical, detached nature of his observation. "It's just a fun thing to do, and as you say, it looks damn good while it's all up."

"It's kinda like building a sandcastle," Jeica added thoughtfully. "Like, you know it's gonna be gone soon, but it's still nice to have made something special for a little while. Maybe not having it around for long makes it so much easier to appreciate."

"But hey, questioning societal norms is a good sign, Sal. It shows intelligence," Tyler praised him. "Very hot." Sal blushed slightly and grinned, pushing his plate away politely to show he was done.

"Yeah? Well I started a rebellion against a society. How hot does that make me?" Jake asked slyly.

"Don't give yourself so much credit," Tyler scoffed. "You joined the Resistance, yes, but you sure as hell didn't start it.

"Well, I mean, I may not have started the rebellion, but I started a rebellion," Jake elaborated, also finishing up. The other four followed soon after, and with the whole lot helping, tidying up took no time at all.

"So, what did our good scientist get you?" Jeica inquired of Advena as they sat down in the living room. The alien looked confused for a second, before suddenly remembering the gift Tyler had given her.

"Oh, right! Um, am I supposed to open it now, or under a tree or something…?"

"Just open it, 'Vena," Jake laughed. Advena made extra sure by casting Tyler a quick glance, who nodded her the go-ahead, and carefully ran her claws along the brightly-coloured packaging on the small box, peeling it away delicately to reveal the cardboard beneath. After she excruciatingly-carefully opened the flaps of the box, she pulled out a small Lexer gaming controller, modified to be wider and have larger spaces between the buttons for a certain species which had long, bony fingers. Advena tested it in her grip, and found her hands wrapped perfectly around it, the comfort making her smile warmly.

"This is… perfect. Thank you Tyler," she gushed, twisting the object this way and that to get a better look at the lovingly-smooth seams where it had been put together.

"Well, I figured it would be much easier for you if I modified a controller specifically for you, so you wouldn't have to cram a tiny little controller into your big hands," Tyler explained modestly, rubbing the back of his neck shyly.

"That's really sweet of you. Hey, maybe we can test it out on some Christmas-y games!" she suggested brightly. Tyler chuckled at her opportunist attitude and rubbed her dome fondly.

"Not tonight, 'Vee," he told her regretfully. "I've got that other friend to visit, remember? But we'll certainly try it out together soon." Advena pouted, but didn't have time to give a response, as Mozart leapt up from his seat excitably.

"Oh! I have a gift to give too!" he exclaimed suddenly, racing off to retrieve it from where he'd hidden it. Jake suppressed a groan of apprehension as this was probably not going to go too well – either he or Mozart was going to get humiliated. But what happened and what he was expecting were vastly different. Mozart returned with a tiny jewellery box clasped in his hands, got down to one knee to bring himself to Jeica's height, and presented the box to her. A quick glance around the room assured Jake that everyone was frozen in shock, bar Advena and himself who were suddenly realising that this was gonna be good.

"M-Mozart?" Jeica stammered, finally finding her voice.

"Oh, right," Mozart realised, probably gaining the urge to slap his head at his own stupidity. "I'm sorry I didn't wrap it or anything; I didn't realise I was supposed to do that… but here, this is to show how much I appreciate you." Mozart opened the little box for her, revealing a small chrome ring embedded with dozens of tiny little sapphire blue crystals. Jake had his face buried in his hands, fingers parted slightly so he could still see the spectacle, trying desperately not to laugh, while Advena was tensed, tail wrapped around her jaw and head while vibrations racked her body. She had picked up from Jake's mind what was going on, and boy was it priceless.

"Mozart," Jeica began softly, giving her friends a nervous glance, "you're a sweet guy, but I don't think we're quite ready for that…" Mozart looked heartbroken as she placed her hands on the box and gently pushed it down, gazing into his eyeless face sympathetically.

"I… I am not allowed to give you gifts?" Mozart asked sullenly. Jeica peered at his posture suspiciously as realisation finally began to dawn on her.

"Mozart, what do you think a ring is?" she demanded.

"A pretty piece of jewellery?" Jeica sighed in relief, her shoulders slumping.

"Oh, oh wow," she muttered, falling back into her seat in relief. Finally, Jake and Advena couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing. Even Tyler and Sal were snickering with massive grins on their faces. "Yeah, yeah, it's hilarious, I know." She huffed and accepted the Xeno's gift, slipping it over her left middle finger and offering her Bonded an apologetic smile. "Jesus, Mo', you nearly gave me a heart attack. It's lovely, thank you." Now Mozart was staring blankly at her, confused to no end at the sudden change of events.

"Humans use rings for marriage proposals," Sal explained finally, feeling pity for the befuddled alien. Mozart jerked upwards, as if he'd been zapped, and immediately began babbling apologies. Jeica quickly silenced him by pulling him into a hug.

"Shh, it's okay Mo'," she soothed him amusedly. Over her shoulder, Mozart caught sight of Jake, who grimaced and gave an apologetic shrug. He huffed in annoyance, but left it at that, thankfully not telling Jeica about their conversation.

"Anyway, I've got to head off for a bit," Tyler announced, rising from the couch and stretching dramatically. "Thanks for dinner – and the entertainment," he added with a wink. Jeica gave him a blinged-out middle finger as he laughed his way to the front door. "You coming to see Bill too, Sal?"

"Of course," Sal scoffed. As if there was an alternative; where Tyler went, he went. The duo put on their warm clothes, fetched the present, then gave one final wave and left into the cold night.

"So, we've failed pretty miserably in showing the Xenos the Christmas spirit," Jake decided. Jeica giggled at him, before suggesting:

"Well, I'm sure there's some Christmas movies on the TV." True to her word, she turned the living room's modest TV on, and scrolled through the movie list, coming across a whole section full of Christmas specials. "Here; guests choose." She tossed the remote to Jake, who promptly handed it over to Advena.

"Find one you think you'll find interesting," he instructed her, laying back as he awaited her verdict. Advena spent a good five minutes flicking through the expansive list, until finally:

"Ah! This one looks good!" she exclaimed, referring to the movie on screen. Jake audibly groaned with just one glimpse at the cover art, and it only got worse with the title. A very forced pun, the film 'Secret Santa' featured a man on the cover running from an explosion, which sent burning presents and flaming dollar notes flying everywhere, a gun in his hand and a Santa costume slipping down at the neck to reveal a smart tuxedo underneath. It was some spy flick with overzealous explosions, ridiculous plots and a laughably out of place Christmas theme which was never made with the intent of being taken seriously.

"I think you're really getting the wrong idea about Christmas here," Jake quipped. But Advena was nothing if not stubborn, and refused to be moved to a classic. Thus, the four friends settled down for one hell of a cheesy movie.

~~~~~~~~~~()~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: And my gift to you, dear readers, is a nice little lemon. Merry Christmas my friends!
(Sexual content ahead, if you are underage or don't like interspecies pr0n read no further blah blah blah)

Jake flung off his heavy coat as he and Advena stepped through the front door into their home, sighing gratefully at the warm air which washed over them. Advena likewise stripped herself of her outside gear and plopped herself onto the couch, staring at her boyfriend expectantly.

"I can feel when you're thinking something mischievous," Jake reminded her as he hung their winter gear on the coat rack.

"Welllll, I was thinking about a little Christmas present I wanted to give to you."

"Oh yeah? And what might that be?"

"Take off your clothes and you'll find out." Jake chuckled at his alien lover's antics, and pulled his shirt over his head, dropping it to the floor along with his pants and undergarments. Advena growled lustily and pushed Jake down onto their couch so he was sitting dumbly with his legs spread apart.

"Straight to your favourite position, ay?" he remarked with a smirk, but Advena shook her head.

"Tonight, we're going to try something a bit different." Advena abandoned her predatorial stance of looming above him and dropped to her knees, flashing him a seductive smile. "But you're gonna have to trust me." Jake took a deep breath, and nodded.

"Yeah, okay. I can manage that." Advena purred reassuringly, reaching out a soft, smooth hand which she gently wrapped around his semi-erect member, giving it a few pumps to get him going. Jake let out a shaky breath as his muscles tensed, his shaft rapidly hardening in his exotic girlfriend's grasp. She kept up her steady stroking until a dollop of precum oozed out of his tip, by which time Jake had his head tilted back, resting on the couch's backrest, and his eyes squeezed shut. She relinquished her hold with a satisfied grin and shuffled closer, her warm breath now rolling over his sensitive head in waves. Jake squirmed a little in his seat, his tantalising cock bouncing with the movements, and Advena leaned in closer. She extended her tube-like tongue and gently ran the moist pillar of flesh up Jake's length, making him moan in delight.

Being mindful of her teeth, Advena carefully placed Jake's manhood inside her maw, the heat radiating from her mouth making Jake shiver ecstatically. She kept running her tongue along his length, tasting his fluids as she coated him in her thick saliva. She relished in the salty, tangy taste, and pulled back slightly, letting half of Jake's length slip back into the relatively-cool air. Jake almost cracked an eye open, but a sudden tightness encircled his cock's head, squeezing him in such a way that had him arching his back with a pleasured yelp. Advena drew her jaws away so Jake could stare down at her enrapturing inner maw sliding down his shaft, firmly squeezing everything it swallowed in a tight, moist sleeve.

Jake shuddered, letting out another moan when the little set of jaws bumped against his base, and he felt Advena's tongue contract, giving his length another firm squeeze. Advena stared Jake directly in the eyes as she slid her mouth back over her tongue, taking the organ back without removing a centimetre from Jake's delicious cock, adding the intense heat back into the sea of sensations he could feel. She tilted her head slightly, her tongue following the movement and sliding around Jake's length in such a way that had him jerking his hips in pleasure, but much to his disdain, he found that the Advena's nimble tongue followed his movements as well, not giving him any of the friction he desired. He groaned as he realised even during this act, she was in complete control of the situation, and went limp on the couch, panting as the intense sensations began to die down.

Then Advena began moving again. She dragged her tongue back into her maw, rubbing along Jake's length with its oddly-textured flesh, before ever-so-slowly sliding it back down again. Squeezing tightly with suction only her kind could achieve, she set a steady pace of dragging her tubular tongue up and down Jake's shaft, making him moan and squirm as the euphoric sensations shook him to his core, unable to do anything but place his hands on her dome to steady himself. Advena placed a hand on Jake's crotch, balancing herself as well as allowing herself to fondle Jake's heavy balls with her thumbs, and sent her other hand to her nethers, the delightful feeling of Jake's pleasure too much for her to handle.

As she began pumping two fingers into herself, her movements became more erratic, her tongue gliding up and down Jake's slick length faster and faster, her hot breath coming short and fast, the odd pulsating heat and the tight friction making Jake moan and try to buck his hips, only to be held in place by Advena's hand. Jake found himself doubled over his lover, hugging her elongated head for dear life as the pleasure of her odd tongue squeezing and sliding up and down his shaft took over, making him quake and tense up, quickly approaching his climax. Advena was pumping her fingers faster now, nearing her peak too as their pleasures became one. Advena felt Jake clench up, a long moan escaping his lips as his thick maleness throbbed and unleashed his load into Advena's waiting inner mouth. He shuddered and let out husky breaths as he enjoyed his orgasm, his manhood pulsing and spurting his seed in Advena's belly as her tongue wrung out everything he had to offer with slick, powerful contractions and her hand gently caressed his spunk-makers.

Once he had been sucked dry, she slowly withdrew, her tight tongue leaving his shaft wet, but clean, and fell back, thrusting her fingers into herself erratically to push herself over the edge too. Jake surprised her by flopping down atop her, and pulling her hand away. She groaned in frustration, but was cut short by a soft pair of lips pressing against her own and a warmer, softer pair of fingers entering her. The intimate kiss stifled Advena's whimper of delight as Jake's much more satisfying hand brought her over the edge in a few swift strokes, her inner walls clenching around his digits while she panted and cooed quietly, pulling out of their kiss so she could wrap herself around him in an exotic embrace, as well as keeping his arm in place so he couldn't pull his fingers out until she had rode the waves of her orgasm to the end. Jake placed another loving kiss on her dome this time as they lay there, bathing in their post-coital warmth.

"Merry Christmas, Jake," Advena slurred suddenly.

"Merry Christmas, 'Vena," Jake chuckled.
