The Christmas Miracle Part 1

Shandi gave a sigh of remorse as she glanced at the snow flowing down heavily outside. She had planned to spend Christmas Eve at a friend’s party but with the main roads closed there wasn’t the slightest chance that she would be doing anything like that.

She gave an exasperated groan when she picked up the phone and there was no dial tone. Great the phone lines were down too. If all went according to nature’s plan it probably wouldn’t be too long until the electricity was out too.

This was just typical for her. Dario, the guy she had liked for ages had said he would be at the party, and after assuring him that she would be there with bells on she wasn’t going to. He was going to think that she stood him up. She finally has a guy where she wants him and New York decides to have a blizzard. Great!

Glaring out the window she gave a start when there was a rap at her front door. Who would be stupid enough to be out in this weather, and why were they at her front door? She wondered yanking open the front door and glaring at her uninvited guest.

Ace smiled in relief when the front door opened and a shapely brunette answered it. The smile left his face briefly when he saw the mutinous glare on her face, before returning when he glanced at her attire- black jeans and a Kiss t-shirt.

Shandi gaped in recognition as she gazed up at Ace. Shaking her head she closed her eyes briefly and murmured to herself "Please, please, please let this not be a figment of my imagination." Opening her eyes again she silently thanked god for miracles and shyly smiled at Ace.

Ace took in the way her eyes closed and opened again and he was positive that she mouthed "Thank you god" before he shook his head and grinned.

"Hi, My car got stuck in a ditch a few houses back and I’ve been knocking house to house but no one seems to be home around here. I was wondering if I could use your phone," He asked with a questioning smile.

Shandi sighed at the sound of Ace’s voice. She loved the way he spoke the traces of his childhood Bronx still in his accent. Looking at him she noticed the way he looked at her questioningly.

"The phone?" He repeated and she groaned softly. My god he must think she was an imbecile! Here she was dreaming about his voice and he was waiting for an answer.

Ace grinned at the pretty blush surfacing on her cheeks and Shandi said "All the phone lines seem to be down right now. But if you like you can come inside and keep warm."

"Aren’t you afraid that I might attack and ravish you? You don’t really know me?" Ace asked as he followed her into the house and grinned when he heard her mutter "I wish"

"I’m sure but aren’t you worried that I might ravish you?" Shandi counter answered, and he laughed. Shandi grinned, and murmured "Welcome to my humble abode. Sorry about the mess I wasn’t expecting company let alone Rock royalty." Glancing around the living room Ace smiled approvingly at it, liking the fact that it had a warm feeling to it.

"I hope I’m not interrupting your plans for the evening." Ace said as he glanced down at the couple of videos sitting on the living room table.

"No the Blizzard did that already. I was going to a party but now I’m just going to eat popcorn and watch movies instead. "

"I love popcorn" Ace murmured and Shandi grinned at the obvious hint. "You’re welcome to watch the movies with me, but I’m not too sure whether you’ll like them."

Ace grinned and in mock horror groaned "Oh no chick flicks…even worse romantic chick flicks how ever will I survive?" Laughing he said, "I like movies and I’m always up to try new and different things. Why don’t you make popcorn and I’ll build a fire."

Shandi hummed to herself as she watched the popcorn popping in the microwave. She still couldn’t believe that Ace Frehley was in her living room, building a fire in her fireplace. It was like a dream, and she was afraid that if she made one false move she’d wake up.

Chewing her lip she gathered two glasses together and a bottle of Claret and moved back into the living room. Smiling she saw the fire lit and Ace sitting down and strumming her guitar.

Ace glanced up at her and asked "You play?" She nodded "Slightly. I’m learning bit by bit. Although I have just learnt "Every time I look at you" – that was kind of tricky."

"Typical…let me guess you’re a Paul fan. They’re either Gene or Paul fans…the cat and space ace always strike out." Ace said with a playful pout that showed he was teasing.

"Oh pleasssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeee" Shandi said "You and Peter get as much female fanfare as Paul and Gene do. Don’t try that tactic. As for the guitar I just think that it’s best to start at basics"

"I'm sure Paul is going to love being told that he is basic..." Ace interrupted with a grin and Shandi said, "I'm sure he'll survive. He's a big boy." before saying "You interrupted me it's rude now as I was saying Every time I look at you was a lot easier than learning some of your leads. If you must know though, and I hope it doesn’t stroke your ego too much, but you’re my favourite member."

Turning Shandi moved into the kitchen and didn’t hear Ace mutter "It’s not my ego I want you to stroke."

Returning to the living room she groaned when she saw Ace bent over the VCR- now when God was giving out butts it’s obvious who was first in line, she thought with a sigh. Tucking her hand behind her she fought the urge to reach over and slide her hand across the back of his denim jeans. What he did to denim was a pure crime.

"I hope you like popcorn with lots of butter." Shandi said, leaning against the doorframe, and trying to act nonchalant as Ace turned and looked at her.

"It’d be a crime to have it any other way." Ace replied before adding "It’s all set up and ready to go. "He paused before murmuring "I guess you must be worried about your boyfriend with all this snow…"

Shandi grinned, "Nope I don’t have a boyfriend. Now lets watch dirty dancing." "Yes Ma 'am" Ace laughed giving her a mock salute.

He took the popcorn off her and watched her pour the claret before settling the bowl of popcorn between his thighs. Taking the glass of claret he teased wickedly "Just grab a handful whenever you feel like it."

Shandi nodded and scooped a handful of popcorn up, building up a lazy rhythm hand to mouth, hand to mouth, completely preoccupied with the movie. Their fingers slippery with butter would occasionally entwine before separating again.

Shandi sighed as the love scene between Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze began and reached for the last bit of popcorn, embarrassed to find that Ace had put the empty bowl on the ground and her hand was on his crotch.

Hastily she pulled it away and gulped down the remainder of her wine, not looking at Ace, but ever so conscience of the fact he was there beside her.

Ace closed his eyes at the feel of her hand on him, before she pulled it away. Taking in her mortified expression he decided it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to pull her hand back to him again.

Groaning he tried to concentrate on the movie, wishing to god that the sex scene would be over and done with soon because it was making him horny as hell.

Shandi glanced over at Ace when he groaned and saw the undisguised hunger in his eyes. She glanced away looking for something to wipe her fingers on, yet reluctant to actually move from the sofa and break the moment.

"Why don’t you just lick them?" Ace asked throatily, and she nodded, seductively sliding her tongue along her finger before her lips closed over one.

Ace groaned and closed his eyes at the sight, and Shandi smiled at his reaction. "Wanna taste?" She asked teasingly, sticking a buttery finger close to his lips. He grinned and his lips closed over her finger, watching her close her eyes.

Shandi sighed blissfully as Ace’s mouth slid from her fingers, to the palm of her hand and started to scatter kisses on it, moving from her palm to her wrist where he slid his tongue across the back of her wrist.

"You have beautiful hands?" He murmured softly and she said boldly "All the better to touch you with my dear."

Ace chuckled at this and slid his lips over hers. Shandi gasped softly as Ace nibbled on her bottom lip before sliding his tongue between her lips. She moaned softly and clutched at his shoulders, closing her eyes in pleasure.

She opened them again in confusion when Ace moved away from her. "The couch isn’t big enough for the both of us and I have a better idea." He explained with a smile as he took her hand and led her to the roaring fire.

Shandi leant up and kissed Ace, running her hands down his back. Giving into temptation her hands slid onto his backside and she squeezed gently. Ace groaned and slid his tongue into her mouth as his own hands slid to cup her backside and pull her up against his erection, rocking his hips against hers. Shandi gasped at the feel of him rock hard against her, and pressed closer into him rocking her own hips against his to show her willingness.

Ace’s hands slid up her t-shirt to cup her breasts and she pressed into his palms, whimpering softly as he slid his thumbs across her nipples.

"Touch me sweetheart." Hr groaned and she nodded her own hands undoing his shirt, and tugging it off to leave him naked to the waist. Sliding her hands over his chest, she revelled in the strength beneath her fingers.

"You’re beautiful" she murmured and he laughed "Men can’t be beautiful sweetheart."

"You are." She murmured kissing his chest, as she unbuttoned his jeans. With a raise of his eyebrow Ace asked, "How is it that you have more clothes on than I do?"

"I don’t know but maybe you should change that fact." Shandi teased, her tongue saluting one of his nipples before she placed her lips fully to it.

Ace nodded, and tugged her t-shirt off, throwing it across the room. He unbuttoned her jeans and slid them down her legs murmuring "My god you’ve got the longest legs I’ve ever seen." Shandi giggled and tugging his jeans off said, "so do you."

Ace grinned and tackled her pulling her gently onto the ground with him, his body covering hers. Shandi moaned against his mouth as he slid his hand into her panties, and two fingers in her. Gasping softly she slid her hands down his body to his erection and played two fingers across the front of his underwear smiling when he grew harder.

"Honey what are you trying to do kill me?" He groaned as her mouth slid down his chest and her tongue played with his belly button. Tugging his underwear down with her teeth she glanced up at him with the raise of an eyebrow and he raised his hips inviting her to taste him.

Smiling wickedly Shandi slid her body up to his and kissed him passionately, laughing when he growled "Tease" before he divested her of her bra and panties.

His body covered hers and he slid his hands over her body, touching her breasts briefly before letting his mouth do the same.

Shandi arched her back at the feel of his mouth on her breasts, and cried out softly when he tugged at her nipples with his teeth before gently tonguing and sucking them. Her hands flew into his hair and she bucked her hips against him.

Ace slid his body up to the full length of Shandi’s and kissing her passionately slid between her thighs with a throaty groan of relief. Shandi gasped as she felt the full force of Ace in her and closed her eyes as a wave of pleasure slid over her. Clutching his shoulders she thrust her hips against his, following his rhythm. Her legs wrapped around his hips as she drew him deeper into her, moaning in reply to his groans of pleasure.

Ace closed his eyes, burying his face in her neck as he continued to thrust into her, revelling in the feel of her and her passionate response to him. With one final thrust they climaxed and lay entwined still together.

Shandi sleepily woke Christmas morning, stretching languidly she vividly recalled the night before and this morning. Ace had been so warm and loving, and that man had stamina beyond belief.

After their passionate lovemaking in front of the fire they had retired to her bedroom to continue what they had started. Greedily touching each other, and playing out any fantasy they had. Noticing the candle by the bed Shandi blushed and remembered the hot wax that Ace had dripped all over her body…that and the cream.

Sighing she touched the empty space beside her, and noticed the envelope. Picking it up she saw two Kiss tickets and backstage passes inside and a note that read "Thankyou for a wonderful evening. I’d like to see you again. Enclosed are two tickets to Saturday’s concert. If you want to see me again I’ll see you there, and if not then I will have some very nice memories. Ace"

Shandi squealed in delight. She couldn’t wait to tell her friends about her experiences they would never believe her, and she couldn’t wait to see Ace again. She knew exactly who she was going to invite to go to the concert with her…
