Chapter Eleven

Christmas itself was a quiet affair, a small celebration of the holiday between the couple. They simply stayed together more than anything else, enjoying the comfort that the others’ presence brought them. They made no production of it, carrying on as usual, simply thankful for the quiet time that it gave them. They spoke little, indulging more in small touches and thoughtful motions. They each spent their days anticipating the others’ needs, and filling themselves with bittersweet torrents of bliss.

On Christmas Eve they lay together, reading quietly until the clock struck midnight, watched by the Rudolf-wrapped presents that lay beneath the tree. Others, too, were there, but not in the forefront of either’s mind. In tandem they waited for the time to tick so that they could see how they had impressed their lover. Synchronised steps walked them over to the tree, and one hand gave while the other took. They sat back down on the sofa, acting as if they weren’t as anticipatory as small children, desperate to see what gift the reactions would bring.

They both sat, watching each other as they waited for the gifts to be opened.

Finally Jenna laughed, her voice seeming loud and clear and happy in the silent lit room. “Open yours first.” She said.

He arched a brow. “I want you to open yours first.”

“I already opened one from you.”

“That wasn’t for Christmas.”

“Oh. Well you may give me a gift now, then.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.” Jenna grinned triumphantly. “Open the present!”

“Who said you got to pick?”

“Me.”

Smiling adoringly, he did so, tearing through the paper to find what lay beneath.

A long, rectangular box, it was unadorned and gave Henry no clue as to its contents. He carefully placed the lid beside him and ferreted through the mountains of tissue paper to find the cool, heavy set of items below. The light glinted off of the elegant, ornate weapons and Henry looked at the beautiful gift in astonishment before lifting his head, open-mouthed.

“Are these?” He whispered, his voice hoarse.

Jenna nodded, filled with happiness and pride at his reaction. The idea didn’t seem anywhere close to horrific now. It had long been a line of hers; one that anyone who pushed her to cross would not be worth seeing. She’d grown accustomed to the idea of it long ago, but she had simply no interest in such blatant sadism.

Well, until recently.

He carved her already, rearranged her, moulded her pliable form.

“You had a red limit.” He said sternly, but really his voice was weak and his eyes were glinting.

“I trust you completely, sir.” She replied firmly, and Henry’s breath caught audibly. His eyes travelled back down, caressing over the sharp blades before he placed them reverently beside him and pulled her close.

“Thank you.” He murmured, his voice full of the warmth that had been missing since Jasmine’s visit. “You are truly special, pet.” His warm breath fanned over her and Jenna sighed happily, melting into his embrace with the knowledge that she had done something right, something appreciated, that Henry accepted her offering with warmth and joy.
