Charity: The Christmas Elf

"Thank you Charity... you live up to your name," Lacey says with hope flaring in her eyes. "I still can't believe you are so kind and giving to three total strangers."

"Well, I consider myself a good judge of character and when I look into your eyes I just know that it is the right thing to do." I put my hand over hers. "Besides, I like having people in this big old house. It's been too quiet and lonely for too long. I've been kind of thinking of selling it, but the market sucks right now."

"I really can't begin to thank you enough..."

"Firstly, you've been thanking me since we met. Secondly, if our roles were reversed I would hope you would do this for me."

"Easily."

"On a final note, no throwing wild parties when I'm not around," I tell her with a giggle. I was joking, but she took it seriously.

"Not an issue. I gave that up the day I found out I was pregnant." She gave me an odd look before blushing and shut up. "Um, I um, you had a long day at work. You should go wash up and get some rest." She stammered taking another big gulp of wine. "I'm... I'm going to go check on the boys."

As she makes her way to the boy's room I couldn't help but watch her hips as she moved down the hall. As soon as Lacey stepped into the guest room to check on her boys I pull out my cell phone and find the number of a dear friend. Since arriving home I knew taking one look at my guests that they needed things. With my plans for tomorrow now set in stone, I wouldn't have time to accomplish what I had intended but quickly realized my friend could help me out and make it so Lacey would be unable to refuse the items. After making my call and thanking my friend profusely, I did as Lacey suggested and washed up. Not wanting to waste a large amount of water two days in a row I simply took a shower and then joined my companion in bed. She told me as she slid under the covers that she had started organizing the contents of the room and we made plans to look at what was in there so she could toss out anything that was no longer needed and move other things so she could use the bed.

That night I had a disturbingly erotic dream about the occupant beside me. The scene played out that I come out of my bathroom after another long hard day at the mall to find her naked in the center of my bed. She is lying face down and her legs spread wide and her ass is propped up in the air. Lacey tells me in a saucy tone of voice that she's been a naughty girl and needs a spanking. She motions to her left and I see a hard wooden paddle beside her. She tells me that she wants me to spank her hard.

I watch with desire as she places her hands on her magnificent ass cheeks and pulls them apart bearing her cheeks and her asshole. No longer able to contain my lust I swat her bottom and she does her best to keep her cries muffled until my swings become too much. Her ass cheeks turn bright red and she begins squealing and begging for mercy but I don't relent. I know what she truly wants as she bites down on her left bicep as I continue to swat her bottom until it is blistering red.

Tossing the paddle to the side I lean down and run my tongue from the bottom of her left cheek up until I am past her asshole. I repeated the gesture with the right cheek before then kissing her bottom. Only when she is cooing do I allow her to roll over onto her back and spread her legs, I claim her sweet pussy for my own. I don't remember the exact details after that but I know they were hot as my pussy was soaked when I work up.

As it was still dark out I knew it wasn't time to get up, nor did I want to be awake when I found myself pressed back to back against Lacey. Despite only being in my night shirt her body felt very warm. On impulse, I rolled over, feigning sleep, and wrapping my arm around her waist, I pull her warm, beautiful form against my body. I hear her sigh at my gesture. Still pretending to be asleep, I take a deep whiff of her hair which smells amazing. Leaning on her shoulder I place a soft kiss upon it, wishing I could take hold of her breasts and suck on her ear but that would be taking things way too far, too fast. If she wants me if she wants more than just friendship she will have to make her intentions known. Until then, this will have to do. That is my last coherent thought before I drift to sleep.

Sunday was a super busy day when we all finally got out of bed. We ate brunch and then went to work pulling out all the decorations that needed to be set up. We stopped at 2 PM to take a break and have a snack before getting back to work on the exterior of the house. It was just getting dark when the Pryce family and I finished decorating the exterior of my home. When we were done the boys sat in the car and their eyes went wide when I turned on the Christmas lights.

"Look it momma... it sooo pretty! See I told you Santa was real. We've been extra good..." Tyler and Trevor cried out with joy.

As my neighborhood is a festive bunch we all got in my Honda and took a tour around the area to look at everyone's holiday light displays. The lights had been all off due to the snowstorm when they arrived and they didn't go anywhere Saturday so this was their first chance to see all of the lights and displays. The boys ooohed and ahhhed at all the various displays and I got tons of notes for ideas for next year based on what they liked. Lacey tried to dissuade the boys from requesting anything as she reminded them that they didn't live with me, they were just staying with me temporarily.

I understood where Lacey was coming from, even if it did kind of kill the boy's joy for a short while. So, to cheer everyone back up I continued our drive to another neighborhood that I knew was as festive as my own. Once they saw all of the displays we drove back to my house and I pulled my car into the garage. Before going outside we set up the tree and decorated the living room. I even splurged on four red and white stockings. I turned on the lights and the boys were once again their super happy and festive selves.

"You didn't have to do this for us," Lacey reminded me. She hadn't seen all the work the boys and I put into the interior Christmas display. Still, seeing the tree lit up and how homie my house was, Lacey's face shone just as bright as her son's. I could see tears in her hazel eyes and she pushed her Chestnut brown hair behind her left shoulder.

"Your right, I didn't have to, but I wanted to." The quartet walks into the living room and turned on the TV. The group was waiting for dinner to arrive.

After a long day of decorating, I insisted that we order out and we decided on Chinese food tonight. Lacey told me what the boys preferred so I ordered them a large serving of Lo Mein noodles with chicken. Lacey wasn't choosy so she picked Chicken Chow Mein while I ordered Shrimp Poncet. Within forty minutes the food arrived. Once I paid for it and we made our way to the dining area and we ate to our heart's content.

I looked at the clock and saw that an hour had gone by. My phone chirped and I looked at the text and smiled. "Boys, throw away your garbage." I remind the pair.

Lacey is putting the silverware into the dishwasher while I toss out the paper plates. My pseudo-family was just finishing up putting the leftovers away when the doorbell rang.

Lacey looks puzzled but I simply smile and say to the boys, "I wonder who that could be?"

"Santa?" Tyler asks.

"Too early," I reply. The two boys look puzzled. "Only one way to find out." Lacey falls in next to her sons as I go answer the door.

I know that the Pryce family could hear our voices but could not make out what was being said. the next thing they knew there were several loud stomps, followed by footsteps on my hardwood flooring. The boys go Woah... when a rather striking Hispanic woman slightly taller than their mother and I. The mystery woman stops right in front of them and looks down at the boys.

"Hello." The woman greets my guests.

"Hi!" The boys reply with enthusiasm.

"Lacey, this is my friend Rosa Ramirez. She is a member of my church." I inform my guest.

"Church... Oh my god... Sunday... you missed church!" Lacey states. In all of the excitement she completely forgot what today was.

"It's ok, we had important things to do today." I remind my guest. "Plus if we went this wouldn't have been a surprise now would it?"

"Surprise?" Lacey inquires.

"Yes. Charity called me last night and told me about your plight." Rosa begins. "Charity gave us your sizes and the church took up a collection today during service so we could get these for your family."

Rosa hands Lacey, then Trevor, and finally Tyler each a fairly large wrapped box. "Please, open them now, you don't have to wait for Christmas."

The Pryce family opened the gift boxes and everyone present watches the joy that comes over the boy's faces and the look of disbelief on their mother's. Inside each large box were three sets of clothes. They have three sets of underwear and each boy has a set of warm pajamas. In addition to the three sets of clothes, Lacey has a sexy teddy but she does not let the boys see it.

"This is too much, we can't possibly accept all of this," Lacey states.

"The church provides for those in need. Also, we tore off the store tags and have already shredded the receipts so it is impossible to return these to the stores," Rosa informs Lacey.

Realizing that she has no choice now, Lacey looks at the gleeful look on Tyler and Trevor's faces and says, "Thank you and your parish for your generosity."

"Charity also says that you are trying to find a job but you have an issue with childcare," Rosa adds.

"Yes. Without money, I can't pay a sitter, but I can't get a job as I don't have child care." Lacey states.

"Well, our church is providing child care from now till Christmas Eve so single parents can take advantage of holiday jobs. Just bring the boys to the church and we will take care of them for you."

Lacey looks both excited and apprehensive. Excited because its free child care, but a little apprehensive as she doesn't know these people.

"Lacey, you can trust them. I vouch for each and every one of them!" I tell her.

That was good enough for Lacey. Her eyes let the tears fly and she races to Rosa and gives her a big hug. "Thank you... thank you all! This... this is just so amazing... I might finally be able to start saving money." Lacey states.

"That is the plan. Now all you need is a job." Rosa says.

I clear my throat to get the pair's attention and say, "Well Lacey, I think I have the perfect job for you..."

With an actual address, Lacey was hired on the spot for the job her I selected for her. As it was my friend doing the hiring there was little doubt about that. The job in question that I had selected for Lacey was working at Santa's Village as my partner from now until Christmas Eve. If you thought I filled out my elf costume nicely, Lacey looked even hotter! As I had to help outfit her before her first shift, I ran the tape measure around her curves to discover my companion's (now co-worker) measurements were 37C-24-35. After carrying twins she should by all rights have a larger midsection but I'm sure her situation helped her lose weight (not something I would recommend if it can be helped).

Lacey filled out her Elf costume magnificently and the two of us working together seemed to draw even larger crowds of fathers and their kids, as well as just teen boys dragging their younger siblings for photos. Surprisingly Lacey and I were asked to be in quite a few of these photos. Seeing the sales spike, Nick allowed it as it was generating even more revenue than in previous years without a price increase to the customers.

As we were paid weekly Lacey squirreled away money while insisting contribute to the grocery fund and buying her boys more clothes. As a mall employee, she was allowed to put gifts on lay-way and pay as she worked. With great pride, she began buying things for the boys for Christmas for the first time in years. In addition to this, Lacey made good on her promise to Mr. Quan. With her first paycheck, Lacey bought three large pizzas from Mr. Quan's stand. One was for her family's dinner that night and she gave the rest to two homeless families that she knew from her time in the local shelter. They were very appreciative and Mr. Quan was very pleased that Lacey was finally doing well for herself and able to pay it forward to others in need.

Lacey and I always looked forward to picking up the boys from Church on our way home. Lacey was surprised the first night to find her twin sons sitting with a large congregation of kids. All of the parents were present but no one had left as the kids were standing in front of the parents (who were sitting in the pews), singing Christmas songs to their hard-working family and friends. Only after seeing Lacey and I walk in does the woman in charge of watching over the kids inform everyone that it is time to go home. There was a loud "awwwww" from all of the children but the stern look they received told them that it was time to leave.

I watch as Lacey signs out the boys and the twins beg their mom to bring them back tomorrow so they can be with all of their new friends. With a smile on her face, Lacey promises this will happen from now till Christmas Eve. In addition to the clothes, the Church also bought us two car seats for the twins. Mom and I strap the boys in for their ride home and off we went.

When we got home I had the boys wash up and off they ran to the bathroom. As I set out the paper plates I could tell something was on Lacey's mind so I asked her what she was thinking of. "I was just wondering, why aren't you spending your time with your relatives this holiday?"

"I don't have any in the area," I answered with a shrug. "I have some relatives on the west coast, but we aren't close."

"What about your parents?" Lacey asked leaning her head back and closing her eyes in exhaustion. "You never told me where they moved to."

"My parents didn't move, they passed away peacefully a little over a year ago. Everyone knew they couldn't live without the other. So when mom got sick, dad followed shortly after. They had their wills made out and burial plans set."

"I'm sorry." She states. She looks at me again and then asks, "How old were they? Looking at you they couldn't have been that old." Lacey inquired.

"They were actually in their mid-sixties. I was a late-in-life surprise. Both my parents were forty when I came along. Mom carried me hard and never was quite as vigorous after my birth. We got by though. I never wanted for anything as I grew up." I shrugged. "We knew the cancer was bad when they found it, so there weren't any surprises. I took over the house in the spring after the lease was up in the apartment I was living in." I sighed.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know." We would've gone on but Trevor came out of the bathroom doing the pee-pee dance, and Lacey had to tend to him before he wet his new big boy pants.

Over the next few days, it was inevitable that my feelings for Lacey and her boys intensified. The more I thought about it the more it felt like we were becoming a real family. Lacey and I spent many nights on the couch talking and learning things about one another. I finally learned that her middle name was Nicole and I shared that mine was Kelsey. After that minor revelation, I finally admitted that I, like herself, was gay. I told her how I had known since I was starting middle school. She wasn't surprised, but she thanked me for being open with her.

Lacey and I made sure to spend time with the boys reading, teaching, and other fun family activities. On Sundays, we went to my church as a family. The boys went to Sunday school with the other kids while Lacey and I sat and listened to the sermons. Lacey was surprised by how accepting everyone was of her and she finally felt like she belonged somewhere. During the work days, my mind would wonder what would happen if I made a move toward a more intimate relationship with Lacey.

The boys were already treating me like a second mother and Lacey allowed me to mother them as I saw fit. I never overstepped my bounds but fortunately, the boys never did anything that I had to punish them. At least not yet.

Bedtime was the worst though. I wanted to keep things as they were until Lacey told me she was open to a relationship with me. So far that hasn't happened. What has happened is that we start out sleeping back to back but at some point in time during the night our positions change and we eventually find ourselves spooning one or the other or more recently sleeping face to face. We've yet to wake up sleeping in one another's arms (face to face) but at this rate, it is only a matter of time...

It was now four days before Christmas and Lacey and I had a particularly grueling day at the mall. As the days get longer and the mall is open later Lacey and I find ourselves using the jacuzzi bath more frequently. Thankfully the boys have been very cooperative and eat, bathe and go to bed when asked. Tonight it was my turn to put the boys down for bed while Lacey took the first bath. I trudged from the boy's room into mine and didn't even bother to get my nightshirt. I knew I had a robe in the bathroom so I walked in without knocking. As tired as I was I suddenly became wide awake as Lacey Pryce chose that moment to stand up from the Jacuzzi. Her eyes were closed and she was wringing out her long dark Chestnut hair. As she stood there I couldn't help but stare at her beautifully cream-colored skin which had hundreds of water beads falling down her body. She was humming to herself as she releases her hair and (eyes still closed) runs her hands over her arms, stomach, and magnificent tits.

Despite not making a lot of noise when I entered the room, Lacey seemed oblivious to my presence as she turned around and climbed out of the jacuzzi. From my new vantage point, her Chestnut brown hair looked almost black in its wet state. Once out of the tub she reaches for the hair towel and begins drying her hair. It was so hard for me to be just the host at this moment in time. Every cell in my body was telling me to move forward and claim her for my own. My pussy was gushing at that the thought of running my hands up and down her naked body. I wanted to lick, kiss, and suck on every part of her body. It finally dawned on me that this was my first time seeing her full-frontal naked body. Her breast, even though they had a slight mommy sag from breastfeeding, were still very firm. I can only imagine how much milk her breasts had once contained. Lacey turned slightly and I got a nice side view of her tit and it looked like they were begging to be made love to. I was dying to pull her lips to mine and drag her soaked body to my bed and ravish her from head to toe.

Down girl... I had to tell myself. I had her towel in my hand and when she finally opened her eyes she contracted and covered her breasts and pussy, not that she had anything to be embarrassed by or should have bothered as I saw everything there was to see. While she was inadvertently showing off for me I took note that she must have shaved the hair around her pussy as it was currently just a little landing strip. Not having the means to groom that area before now I had to wonder when she did that.

"Sorry, I was so tired I forgot to say I was coming in." I apologize.

"It's ok. Accidents happen." Lacey replies taking the towel. I turned to give her the privacy to dry off and put on a robe. We did our little dance where I then stripped and slid into the Jacuzzi while she didn't look. While I didn't look back to see if she had her back to me, deep down, I was hoping she was watching my ass as I slide naked into the bubbly water. As she hadn't left the room I decided to be a bit bold and when she was turning to say something to me I stood up slightly to get a bottle of shampoo and flashed my tits at her. She stood in stunned silence as I cover my breasts and apologize to her again. Lacey stutters that it's all right and excesses herself.
