Mayer listened as a bell from a nearby church toled the midnight hour. Thus declaring it Christmas day. Between kisses his "Luciano doll" sighed "Happy Christmas dear dear Master." To which Mayer responded with a kiss and sighed "Happy Christmas My "Christmas Doll."

This next part is in Mayer's pov.

I awoke to find myself alone in the bed, naked but so very content. I looked around the room for my husband and find that I'm alone in the room. I called out "Luciano?" Again I looked around the room and saw the green velvet dressing gown that was draped over the chair along with my bedroom slips with a note attached.

" Merry Christmas, Dear Master, Put this on when you wake and join me in the sitting room. Love your Luciano "Doll" Smiling to my self, I put on the robe and the slippers and then made my way to the sitting room. I was greeting by a beautiful sight.

My Luciano was sitting on our sofa completely naked, smiling at me suductively. Beside him, on our coffee table was a Bottle of Vintage Vanpaigne, two glass goblets, and a bowl of fresh strawberries ( along with a small bowl of whipped cream) and our gifts to each other under the tree.

I went to sit beside him and he greeted me with a kiss. "Merry Chirstmas Darling." He reached over to undo my robe but I stopped him and looked at him puzzled "Luciano, we are due up at the main house to open gifts with the family."

He nuzzled in closer and smiled "No, we are not, I spoke with mother yesterday afternoon and we are not going to the main house till dinner tonight where we will give the family their gifts then. Then we will proceed to the party." Again I frown "But will we not be missed? By your brother and sisters? " Luciano shock his head "No, Mother and Holden are taking my sisters and brother to church after breakfast, then they are attending a production of a new play called "Peter Pan." this afternoon. We have the day to our selves"

We lay and sipped the vanpagne and ate the Strawberries and the whip cream. Luciano nuzzled my neck as his fingers gently ran over my bare chest.I took hold of his hand and hold it tenderly as we kissed . We then gave our gifts to each other. I had gotten him a red cardigan. "Oh Mayer it is gorgous. I love it." He kissed me tenderly and spoke softly "I love you dear husband" and watched as I opened my gift.

My heart swelled for it was a new Grey Greatcoat with a velvet green scarf. I smiled warmly "Oh, Luciano, its wonderful, It is perfect." I looked over at him and leaned in "You are perfect My Luciano."

Luciano drew me closer and we shared a kiss meant for lovers, and married couples. To which we were both. We lay together enjoying each other. We then got up and dressed and went out to enjoy the wintery day that was Christmas.

this next bit is in third person.

The couple walked alone the quiet streets of Old Town, Luciano looked at his husband, "You look so dashing in your new coat my darling." Mayer blushed as he drew Luciano close kissing his husband softly. "And you look so boyishly charming sitting there in your new red sweater and that cloth cap, My dear Luciano."Soon they sat together in a outside cafe, holding hands and sipping hot coffee.

Mayer spoke as he sipped at his cup. "When do we have to head back home for Dinner with the family." He smiled as Luciano took out the silver man's pocket watch out of his trouser pocket and studied it. It had been Mayer's christmas gift to him last year. Mayer had had the watch inscribed"MAYER LOVES LUCIANO. FOR ALL TIME."

Luciano had told his husband that , along with the wedding band on his hand ,the watch was his prize possesions. Luciano spoke"It is 11 O'clock now we are due up at the main house at 6." Luciano ran his hand up Mayers arm suductively." We could go back to the gatehouse and have a bath and have a nap. What do you think of that husband mine?" Mayer stood up and extended his hand to his young blond husband who took it eagerly."I think that would do very nicely." The couple then made their way back to the gatehouse.

Once there they were there, a bath was drawn. They soon shed their clothes and stood together in the middle of the room. Mayer gently touched Luciano's bare shoulder with his lips ,giving him quick butterfly kisses. Luciano lead Mayer to the bath tub and got in to the warm water and moaned in pleasure.

Mayer picked up a wash cloth and got in behind his husband. He then gently ran the soft cloth over his Luciano's body which caused the later to moan in pleasure. Luciano sighed "what a wonderful christmas. I love you." He rested his hands on Mayer's theigh as Mayer kissed his shoulders.

They lay together in the warm soapy water, sharing kisses and gentle touches. They finished their brandy and got out and dried them selves and then made their way to their bed. Soon they were in each others arms under a slik comforter and soon drifted off to sleep.
