At the bottom of the stairs there’s another door, but this one is made of iron bars. It’s more medieval looking than the cell I was kept in and a relieved sigh whooshes past my lips. We step through the gate style door, which Frost closes and locks behind me, and round a corner.

I’m met with my first look at Candy Canes’ dungeon.

The first thing I notice is the red neon sign on the black wall that reads ‘Welcome to the North Pole’. A surprised, nervous laugh bursts from me. Underneath it in silver writing which looks to be made of metal it adds, ‘Dungeon Master Daddy North’s Domain’.

All fears are forgotten as heat floods me, desire causing my lower abdomen to tighten.

We turn right and the space opens out and steals my breath.

It’s nothing like I was expecting.

It’s vast. The floor is black and glossy, smoother than ice, and the walls are nothing like the damp, cold holding cell I was trapped in. They’re panelled with black wood framing and covered with a black flocked paper. On the walls there are candelabra style lights, each one holding a trio of flickering ‘flames’.

There’s a whole heap of sex paraphernalia spaced throughout, but my eyes gloss over them, until they snag on something at the far end of the room.

There’s an enormous, ceiling height, black flocked Christmas tree, decked out in scarlet ribbons, black baubles, and crimson beads. The lights are a muted but warm white, and all around the base of the tree are gifts wrapped in red. Beside the tree, are two black leather wingback chairs, one on either side, and sitting in the left chair with one ankle propped up on his knee is North.

My mouth turns dry at the sight of him.

He’s wearing a white shirt, the front open and the sleeves rolled back, revealing his muscular chest and arms. His black leather pants cling to his thick thighs. His neatly trimmed silver hair is impeccably styled as always, and his blue eyes sparkle as they meet mine. In his hands is a red velvet and white fur-trimmed Santa hat.

I giggle.

“Welcome, Floss,” he says, his voice deep and smooth like melted chocolate. “Come, sit on my lap.”

My heart thuds in my chest as I walk towards him, feeling the eyes of Don, Wint and Frost on my back. I climb onto his lap, the heat of his body bleeding through my clothes, and his arms wrap around me. I grin and take the hat from his hands, putting it on his head to complete the look.

“Do you like your surprise?” he asks, his electric eyes glittering when they meet mine.

“It’s beautiful,” I whisper, feeling a lump form in my throat. It’s almost perfect. But someone is missing and my chest aches. It feels incomplete.I feel incomplete.

“Good. But I have something even better for you, Floss,” North says, his fingers trailing along my arm. “Close your eyes.”

I do as I’m told, his breath tickling my neck as he leans in closer. I’m aware of the others moving around the room, but all I can focus on is North.

“Open your mouth,” he whispers.

I obey.

Something cold and hard is placed on my tongue. I quickly realise it’s a candy cane, and I suck on it eagerly, savouring the sweet peppermint taste.

North chuckles against my throat, his hand sliding down to rest on my thigh. “Eager. You like that?”

“Yes,” I breathe, my body already responding to his touch.

“Good. Because tonight, you’re going to be my naughty little elf. And I’m going to show you just how good it can be to be on the naughty list.” I smile and my core pulses. That sounds wickedly delicious. “But first, there’s something else we need to do. Are you sitting comfortably?”

I nod.

“Good. Open your eyes.”

I do, and they immediately fill with tears at the sight of Dash kneeling before me.

“Candy—”

He doesn’t get any further than that because I throw my arms around him with a sob.

I fucking missed him. I missed him so much I didn’t even realise it was hurting until just now.
