Summary:
It’s the holiday season and the men of the Hammer Club are in the mood to celebrate.
Jack has decided he wants to do a cookie exchange with his fellow subs this year. The only catch is that he and Master Oliver go on vacation right after he sets it up. Jim seems like the perfect person to take over the reins, even if he doesn’t make that clear to Jim, exactly. What could possibly go wrong?
Join Jim and Markus and their friends as they do Christmas the way only they can.
Excerpt:
Markus settled in at the table at the Hammer Club with some of his fellow masters – Billy, Simon and his beloved Oliver. It had been a while since Oliver been with them for their weekly masters’ lunch and Markus was pleased to see him here today.
“It’s good to see you, Oliver.” The man had been Markus’ mentor, and Markus missed him when he wasn’t around as much. Oliver had retired from the Hammer Club board and was taking things more easy. Spending more time making his boy scream. The thought had him chuckling.
“You’re thinking something wicked.” Oliver gave him a warm smile.
Markus laughed out loud at the – true – accusation. “It happens now and then.”
Billy snorted. “Now and then? It would be shorter to count when you aren’t thinking something wicked.”
“Are you accusing me of having my mind in the gutter?”
“Yep.”
All four of them burst out laughing at that.
“With boys as wonderful as ours, it’s hard not to have our minds there,” Simon noted.
Markus had to agree. He looked around at his dining companions and realized they all looked good – happy. Clearly they were doing something right if they weren’t all frazzled over the approaching holiday. He had a hunch it probably had a lot to do with the fact that they were all in love with their amazing boys. He knew having Jim in his life made everything better.
Of course, at the moment, there was the possibility his boy was going to become frazzled, and Markus was keeping an on eye on Jim, making sure he didn’t let things overwhelm him. It hadn’t happened yet, though, and Markus was damn proud. Of course that didn’t mean he couldn’t tease Oliver a little.
“Speaking of our boys, I might have a bone to pick with yours Oliver.”
“Oh?” Butter couldn’t melt in that mouth, though Markus imagined Oliver knew exactly what he was referring to.
“This cookie exchange of Jack’s.”
“Oh, yes, isn’t that going to be wonderful? I think eight or nine boys signed up to participate, so we’re all going to have a wonderful variety for our Christmas tables.”
Markus chuckled. “Yes, that’s true. But Jack made the suggestion, then put the organization of it in Jim’s lap.” And so far, his boy hadn’t even told him – he only knew because Jack had told him how wonderful it was to be able to go away with Oliver knowing Jim had everything in hand.
“Jim could have said no,” Oliver noted.
“Yes, and that’s what I’ll remind him of if it gets out of hand. Though you know he doesn’t like turning Jack down.” His boy wanted to be helpful and wanted to live up to people’s expectations. And had a bad habit of taking on more than he could handle and running with it until he ran himself out. “Seriously, though, he’s doing fine – he’s actually quite good at organization.”
“One might even say he’s anal about it,” Billy suggested.
“Anal is such a good quality in a boy.” Markus managed to say it without even twitching his lips.
“Ah, but oral is even better,” Billy countered.
“Touché.”
“Hopefully we’re all blessed with boys who are both. I know I am.” Oliver wiped the corners of his mouth with his napkin, but they could all see the twinkle in his eyes.
Markus’ mind immediately went to this morning. His boy had given him a blow job, then he’d given Jim his morning spanking. Follow that up with a rim job and a good fucking for Jim and he thought they had oral and anal pretty well covered. His prick perked up and he silently told it to behave already. He turned his attention back to his dining companions.
“Jack and I were out of town on vacation for a few weeks.” Oliver took a sip of his water.
“You look like it was a good one.” Billy signaled to their waiter.
“It was. Having more time to focus on Jack and our relationship has been exactly what we both needed.”
“That’s wonderful. Still, both your presences were missed in planning for this year’s auction.” Billy was in charge of that this year and despite his words, Markus knew he’d done a damn fine job of things so far. He knew staying on top of all the details wasn’t easy, but Billy had it well in hand.
“It practically runs itself now,” Oliver retorted.
Markus shook his head. “You’re determined not to let us compliment you.”
“I’m just determined to make sure you all know that you can do all this without me.” Oliver waved his hand about, encompassing the club.
“But we don’t want to lose you,” Simon said softly, voicing what they were all thinking.
Oliver waved his hand again, this time dismissively. “I’m not leaving the club or planning to die anytime soon, boys.”
That had them all complaining that they weren’t boys and they were laughing again by the time their waiter arrived at their table to take their orders.
Markus sat back after asking for the lobster bisque and the firecracker shrimp and just enjoyed the company of his favorite people. He did love this community; it was his family.
