Because beads were being tossed and the attendees crowded the walkways, the three circuits took much longer than she expected.
When they arrived at the back of the room, the screens from earlier had been removed. After court members were seated, spotlights were trained on Mistress Aviana as her elves helped her from her perch, then up onto her throne.
After the sleigh was placed near the tree in Santa’s area, the slaves were detached from their harnesses, and they made their way to their mistress’s side where they knelt, flanking her.
Once Frost was ensconced in his high-back chair with Kaylee standing nearby, the trumpeter heralded another announcement.
“Welcome to the Quarter’s Holiday Extravaganza! On Milady’s command, the tree will be lit, and Santa will start reaching into his bag with presents for the naughtiest of attendees.” He paused for dramatic effect. “You know who you are.”
More raucous cheers rocked the air.
“Our Ladyinviteseveryone to parade past the reviewing stand.”
The emphasis on the word meant it was a royal decree and not a suggestion.
Aviana’s slaves offered their assistance as she stood. “Join me in counting down from ten.” Her melodic voice boomed through the club. “Ten! Nine!”
The lower the numbers dropped, the louder the attendees became.
“One!” At that moment, blinding colors burst from the tree. Then red and green lights hit it, causing the ornaments and tinsel to radiate in dazzling glory.
Again, the music cranked up, and Mistress Aviana smiled beatifically as she lowered herself back onto her throne.
Fulfilling their duty, Milady’s adoring subjects fell into a long, winding line.
“Are you ready for this?” Frost asked.
“I am.” Because it meant Kaylee was drawing closer to the end of the time she was forced to spend with him. Even though she appreciated the chance to participate in the event, she’d like it a whole lot more if she had been following Master Denton or anyone else for that matter.
Once the first person arrived to see Santa, time passed in a blur. Not surprising her, half-naked women squirmed around on Frost’s lap, insisting they’d been naughty, not nice. More than one asked for a spanking.
While he was entertaining yet another barely dressed woman, Abigail popped over.
“How’s it going?”
Kaylee scowled in Mr. Ho-ho-ho’s direction. “He’s terrible at work. But dealing with him being half-naked and watching people fawn over him, feeding his ego?” Exaggeratedly she rolled her eyes. “I keep focusing on the fact I get a week of vacation out of putting up with him.”
Abigail offered a hug of support. With a shake of her head, she skipped the opportunity to collect a gift and instead walked toward the exit.
Kaylee continued to make small talk with attendees waiting for their chance to visit Santa.
When she noticed Maddie standing in line next to Master Zander, Kaylee almost dropped the candy cane she was holding. Why on earth was her sweet friend with the original grinch? The night had become some kind of carnival funhouse.
When it was Maddie’s turn, they hugged.
“Be sure to call me tomorrow.” Maddie took Kaylee’s hands.
Since she was dying to know what was up with Maddie and Master Zander, she definitely would.
“I’ll be at the shelter for some of the day, but I want to hear from you.”
Kaylee glanced over her shoulder at Evan before nodding her agreement.
Most Dominants had stepped aside while their submissives chatted with Santa, but Zander possessively stayed close to Maddie. Maybe he didn’t like Frost very much either. Perhaps the grinch was smarter than Kaylee thought.
“Ho, ho, ho!” Frost greeted Maddie. “Have you been a good girl?”
“Always!” Maddie made a small circle over her head, indicating a halo.
