I take another sip of my whiskey before picking up my phone. It’s late enough that I won’t be disturbed, but I go up to my private rooms, locking the door behind me. The staff knows not to bother me up here unless it’s a true emergency. I settle in my favorite leather chair and swipe through my phone.

I see the new app right away and laugh out loud.

Jingle Belles.

The icon is even a wreath of bells. I click on it and it opens, asking some basic information.

I press accept and wait…

My computer dings, letting me know I’ve been matched with a new client. I glance over the profile. Probably a fake name, but that doesn’t matter. People get lonely around the holidays and just need someone to talk to. I get another notification that he is ready to begin texting and his number is sent to my phone.

Candy: Hi, Nick. How are you tonight?

Nick: Good. Yourself?

Candy: Just being bored. I’m glad you wanted to talk.

Nick: My friend talked me into this.

Candy: Nothing wrong with that. Everyone needs someone to chat with.

This is the part where I gauge what they’re looking for. Some make it obvious. Some make me work for the money I’m about to earn.

Candy: So Nick – is there anything you want to talk about?

Nick: …

Candy: How’s the weather where you are?

Since we were matched I know he is at least in the same state, but the weather is more severe near the lakes.

Nick: It’s cold and snowy.

Candy: I love the snow. Ever get freaky outside?

Nick: I have…

Candy: It’s a rush, isn’t it?

Candy: Where’s your favorite place to fuck, Nick?

Nick: My bedroom

Candy: Ooo, I bet it’s got a nice, big bed.

Candy: What’s your favorite position, Nick?

Nick: Doggy-style

Candy: Mmm. I like that, too. It makes me wet just thinking about it.

Candy: Do you like to fuck hard and fast or slow and sweet?

Nick: Depends on the day.

Candy: I like it hard and fast, especially during doggy-style.

Candy: I want you to thrust into me so hard the bed rocks and my tits shake.

Nick: How big are they?

I grin. We have a winner.

Candy: I can send you a pic or we can video chat.

Candy: Want to see my tits in real-time Nick?

I wait for his reply and take a sip of wine. Sometimes I think about quitting Jingle Belles, but the money is easy and I get paid well for what I do.

Nick: Pic

I flip through my gallery and find a picture that matches the bra I’m wearing. It’s a lacy piece that’s a size too small, making my breasts spill out. Men love this one. I hit send.
