Poor Jolly squeaked loudly before shoving her aside and jumping back. Candy closed her eyes and growled at the very same moment his spicy cinnamon gummy bear scent wafted into her nostrils.
Damn the man for being so yummy! She stifled the need to moan aloud and ignored the way her girly bits seemed to jump up and wave, begging for attention.
Who knew former virginal Christmas Elves could be positively sluttatsic when it came to their mates?

Shoulders straight, head high, she narrowed her eyes and pointed a glitter painted fingernail at the tall, handsome as sin male.
