Gift for the Boss (Managing the Bosses 3.50)

"More than you know." She pressed back, wiggling her hips to tease him a little. “Oh you’re talking about your Santa suit. My bad.”
"Naughty little elf." He nipped at her ear again and moved back, turning and jogging toward the bedroom. She'd never seen a 'fit' Santa, but there was a first time for everything, and if anyone could pull it off, it was Alex.
She tugged her dress down and walked to the kitchen to get a broom. The maids would be coming on the 26th, but she wanted everything to look good for Alex's brother's visit. Mark had been through a rough divorce over the summer, and where he and Alex still had a lot of rebuilding to do, it was the holidays, and they decided to let bygones be bygones for a little while.
Jamie finished sweeping up the mess the tree left as they’d muscled it around the house. She glanced up as Alex opened the bedroom door, and her mouth fell open.
The suit was really well fitted, like a glove. The bulge between his thighs was noticeable, but certainly it was due to him having an erection at the moment. Her showing her barely-clad Christmassy ass to him had its intended effect, no doubt.
"You think it’s okay? I swear it's the largest one they had." He tugged at the crotch of the pants a little.
"Fuck, yes. You look like a Superman version of Santa. I'm glad it's a kids wing we’re going to. Otherwise, I'd be beating back women all afternoon. Let's hope most of the moms are out and about." She smirked and walked toward him, cupping his package and leaning up to press a kiss to his lips. "I want this for Christmas, Santa."
"Oh, woman... you're getting this and so much more." He pulled her into a tight hug and consumed her mouth.
Jamie leaned back and smiled. "Let's get out of her before I ask to sit on your lap."
"So naughty."
"And nice?" she laughed again and pulled from him. They had to go... or they weren't going to at all...

Jamie extended her hand to Dr. Elijah Bennet as he gave them a warm welcome. She was a little surprised to have the head of the hospital greet them, but Alex seemed to know the man. He was nearly as good-looking as Alex. Nearly.
"Elijah; it’s good to see you again!" Alex wrapped an arm around Jamie's shoulder. "We just wanted to spread a little cheer, and don't say a damn thing about this costume to anyone."
Dr. Bennet laughed. "Not a word. Besides, you're one of our best benefactors. You could come up here wearing a too-tight Santa outfit, and none of us would say anything. Wait... you are."
Jamie snorted before clamping her hand over her face.
"Keep it up," Alex warned them both.
"Alright. Let's get the tree inside, and those little ones who can come out and help, let's get them started on decorating it." Jamie took control, wanting to get the party in full swing.
"Let's do this." Alex turned toward her and slid his hands down her arms. "There is an electronics store half a mile down the road. Take my card and get a bunch of small electronics for these kiddos. Elijah and I will work on the tree. Have the store wrap them for you really quick if they're able. We'll keep the kids busy until you get back, and then you and I can hand out gifts."
Dr. Bennet moved up beside them. "Alex. You really don't need to go to all that trouble, my friend. This is more than enough. Honestly."
"No. I want to." Alex glanced over at Jamie and smiled. "You mind playing elf?"
"Of course not." She moved up to kiss him, and then took his card and walked back to the truck as her vision blurred. Alex was beyond giving toward her in so many ways, but never had she imagined him to go all out for a group of kids at the hospital. It just showed the depth of his character, and that maybe she didn't know nearly enough about him.
He'd given her a key to his place in the spring that year, and it had been a great next step for them. She'd almost expected a ring the night he gave her the key, but it would have been too soon anyway.
She got into the truck and let out a slow sigh of appreciation. She would have to check in with her family to see if they still planned on getting together at her mom and dad's for dinner on Christmas Day. Mark would be coming with them, but it was a good thing. Where Jamie had started to work on things with her parents, there was still a lot of work left to do. Mark and Alex together would help to create a comfortable place for Jamie among her family. Or at least they would stick up for her.
The electronics store was crazy busy, but she worked her way through quickly, and even helped the poor girls who were stuck at the wrapping center. Within two hours, they had everything together. Jamie had them help load everything up, and she made her way back to the hospital.
When she got there, she couldn't help but stop and admire Alex. He was in the middle of a large conference room, with the tree up and fully decorated. He was sitting in an old rocking chair, telling the story of Christmas to all the little ones gathered on the floor. The nurses and parents around the edge of the room seemed to be lost in the low, rhythmic sound of his voice too.
He glanced up and winked at Jamie, which caused butterflies to surge in the pit of her stomach. They were never too terribly calm when Alex was around.
Her phone buzzed, and she stepped out in the hall to take the call.
"This is Jamie."
"Hey, pumpkin. It's Dad."
