The Fourth Sin [Christmas Eve]

[lesssexthanmiho]

Becky wandered down the stairs on her phone, holding one long fishnet stocking draped over her arm. "Yeah, Mom. I'm sad I'm not home, too," she said, slipping into the living room and poking a little at the fire that was already burning

Jarod entered the Sin bearing many, many gifts. Mostly chocolate and booze, and he hoped this would be enough to get the girls to tell him where his presents from Parker were. "Hello?"

[lesssexthanmiho]

"In here, Jarod!" Becky called, hanging her stocking up and smoothing out the netting. "No, Mom, he's just a friend, not my boyfriend," she added into the phone exasperatedly.

Jarod followed the sounds of Becky's voice and grinned when he saw the stocking she was hanging. "Merry Christmas, everyone."

[lesssexthanmiho]

"Merry Christmas, Jarod," the girls all called in various degrees of loudness.

Becky finally hung up the phone and chimed in with her own, "Hi and merry Christmas and stuff."

Miho greeted Jarod by holding up her glass of nog (okay, okay, rum and a little bit of nog) and nodding in his general direction.

Jarod handed out presents of chocolates and vodka, then left a group of presents for Miho.

He handed Becky a wrapped bottle. "Has anyone seen some gifts that Parker left for me?"

[lesssexthanmiho]

"No presents," Becky said, taking the bottle. "Awww, you brought me booze!"

Wendy tried to look as innocent as possible and shifted a little, conscious of the letter she had hidden under her skintight top.

Miho coughed a few times to draw attention away from Wendy, and went back to attempting to decorate their pink aluminum tree with the materials at hand. Which meant foil-wrapped condoms with ribbons tied to them.

"Huh," Jarod would have to talk to Isabel again. He started tying condoms to the tree, and wondered how this represented Christmas. "Is this to because of the whole unwed mother aspect of the holiday?"

[lesssexthanmiho]

"...sure, that's it," Becky said, shrugging and tying another condom to the tree. "Hey, you're tall. Want to do the tree topper for us?"

[deadly_little]

Miho scrambled to get the tree topper before Jarod could answer.

[jarodpretends]

"Of course," Jarod said, removing his jacket.

[deadly_little]

Miho held out the tree topper.

It was a dildo. An astonishingly realistic one, with wire wrapped around the base to secure it to the tree.

Don't worry. They sterilized it first.

[jarodpretends]

"Er, thank you," wide-eyed, Jarod took the dildo from Miho and wrapped the wire tightly around the top of the tree. He stepped back and looked at it, head tilted. "Wow. That's really something."

[lesssexthanmiho]

"Aww, it's beautiful!" Becky said happily, and retrieved a pair of neatly-wrapped packages from beneath the tree.

In lieu of something she'd actually paid for, Miho shoved a plate of freshly baked gingerbread cookies at Jarod. Yes, she made them herself. No, he shouldn't worry. Much. Also, there was an envelope containing his Christmas bonus.
