Saturdays were my favorite day of the week anyway, but any day I went to Reuben's and got to sit with my friends, knowing maybe my Sir was watching me, filled me with excitement. It was better than a secret admirer. It was a secret lover that everyone seemed to know except me.

It was too cold to wear my pretty burgundy dress, but we were having a Christmas party in the Lounge, and it was his favorite piece, so I wanted to wear it that night. I wore a pair of black floral fishnets underneath and a pair of black suede ankle boots, and my heavy double-breasted coat on top to keep me warm. He'd given me a scarf last week as a gift. It wasn't anything fancy, but it was soft and warm and looked so pretty with my black wool coat. Part of me wondered if we would play that night since the party would start at seven and probably go all night.

That evening, there was a lot of booze, a lot of laughter, and a lot of swearing. There was also a lot of sex. Jenna came out of nowhere wearing a strap-on and holding a Hitachi and chased Abigail around the room, finally being aided by Paul and Becca as she was held still and royally fucked. Tanya wore the hottest latex corset and skirt I'd ever seen, the black material glistening under the light as she danced and gyrated on a pole that had been installed, putting herself in a position that would allow anyone to come up behind her and have access to her. Sam was tied up and suspended just high enough off the ground that he could be used as a coffee table, and use him we did.

Jack and Noah both wore different colored shirts that day instead of their normal white; Jack wore dark green and Noah wore red. Jack looked like an elf with his long straight black hair pulled up into a man bun, his ears just slightly poking at the tip. He also wore a green Santa hat. Although he looked festive, he looked proudly and purposefully ridiculous, like he was doing his best to look as absurd as possible. Noah's red shirt was almost a wine color, and he wore a set of reindeer antlers with bells that made him look absurd. I giggled hysterically when he shook his head side to side and jokingly pranced around. He reached up to adjust his antlers, and I saw his sleeve ride up on his left wrist just a little. No Celtic knot tattoo, I realized. I'd already known neither of the bartenders were my Sir, but the lack of the tattoo was further confirmation.

There was also a beautiful Christmas tree in the corner of the room, lit up with a thousand lights and beautiful black and red ornaments. People had brought gifts for each other, and although he wasn't there that night, almost every member of the club had received a small gift from Mr. Weston, and he'd allowed for a certain number of free drinks and food for us that night as well. We sat around the tree close to eleven o'clock and exchanged gifts, the bar boys coming to sit with us as well for a few minutes to rest and have fun.

Reuben had given everyone unique, thoughtful gifts. All small, but all personal. I was impressed at the effort he'd been putting in lately, especially considering that he was only here about once a month. He had started doing more regular teaching sessions and mentoring, hoping to keep the club growing and avoid any more situations like the one with Peter Woodrow. Though I still didn't know the details, I'd gained from Lindsay that he had ignored a girl's safeword several times.

My gift from him had been a gift card to a local bookstore. It was for a hefty amount and I smiled widely. Becca gave me a gift card to a lingerie store nearby, as I'd told her how Sir continued to steal my panties. Julia had given me a set of leather cuffs that matched my collar. I thanked her profusely, asking her to let me give her a little bit of money for them, because those things probably cost a fortune, but she refused. I felt bad because my gift to her had just been a pair of cat earrings, but she seemed to love them.
