Jeff’s Secret Santa - Part 1 (Patreon)

Patreon-exclusive Christmas Special

Snow swirled lazily outside the tall, frosted windows of a modern building nestled in the heart of the city. Inside, on the 24th floor, the office had a festive energy that made everybody smile as the clock ticked toward 5:00 PM on Christmas Eve. The usually quiet and serious office had transformed into a holiday haven. Twinkling lights adorned the cubicle dividers, warmly glowing over the workspace. A towering Christmas tree stood proudly in the corner, its ornaments sparkling like tiny stars against the deep green needles.

Most of the staff were busy packing their belongings, chatting excitedly about their plans for Christmas, and cheerful laughter filled the room. Amidst this bustle, Austin sat at his desk, his fingers nervously tapping against the keyboard even though he wasn’t typing anything. He adjusted his glasses and glanced around, his olive-green eyes moving from one coworker to the next, looking for someone.

At 23, Austin was the youngest in the office, an intern who had joined the team about 3 months ago. He was a dedicated employee, and his coworkers often teasingly called him a “workaholic” to praise his efficiency and devotion to his job. He was slightly shy, but despite this, everybody agreed that Austin was strikingly handsome. Austin had dirty blonde hair with a modern side bowl cut, the strands neatly combed to one side but with a slightly tousled look that made him look like a model. His olive eyes sparkled with a quiet intelligence, and his lips curved into a shy but beautiful smile that made some people gasp when he interacted with others. A faint blush often colored his cheeks, particularly when he caught someone’s gaze for too long.

Austin’s outfit for the day blended semi-casual office wear with a festive twist. He wore a forest green sweater that hugged his lean, athletic frame just enough to hint at his fitness without drawing attention. Over it, he had a charcoal-gray blazer that added a touch of formality. His trousers were a deep navy, tailored to perfection. A plaid scarf in shades of red and green was draped loosely around his neck, completing the ensemble with a seasonal flair.

Despite his good looks and sharp outfit, Austin often preferred to stay in the background. He was painfully aware of the admiring glances he received from coworkers. But his shy demeanor kept him from acknowledging them. His focus was always on his work. And today, it was on the small, festive bag tucked beneath his desk.

The bag was a vibrant blue with golden snowflakes scattered across its surface. A large golden bow sat atop it, and inside was a gift Austin had spent weeks agonizing over. His fingers brushed the card attached to the bag, where he had neatly written the recipient’s name: Jeff. Austin’s heart fluttered as he reread the name, and a small smile crept across his face. 26-year-old Jeff was a member of the HR department, and apart from the respect expected as coworkers, Austin couldn’t help but admire how Jeff looked.

Their first interaction had been during Austin’s interview, a moment etched vividly in his memory. Jeff had greeted him with a firm handshake and a warm smile, making his anxiety fade. Throughout the interview, Jeff was attentive and made some jokes to help Austin relax. By the end of the meeting, Austin was captivated by Jeff’s looks and kindness. And as they said goodbye, Jeff winked at Austin, making the young man gasp and shake in excitement.

Austin knew it was inappropriate to lust over a coworker, but since the moment he had met Jeff, the man got stuck in his head. Austin often found himself stealing glances at Jeff during meetings, his heart racing whenever their eyes met. He was drawn as much to Jeff’s striking physique as to his kind nature. Coincidentally, when the office organized a Secret Santa exchange a few weeks ago, Austin could barely contain his excitement when he saw Jeff’s name on his sheet. He was nervous about the gift, wanting to give Jeff something special, and now the moment had arrived.

The office manager called everyone to gather for the Secret Santa exchange, and Austin took a deep breath. He reached under his desk, carefully picked up the gift bag, and placed a Santa hat on his head. Standing to his 5’11” height, Austin smoothed his blazer and joined the growing crowd near the Christmas tree. His eyes scanned the room, searching for Jeff, and his pulse quickened when he spotted him entering the room. Austin’s breath caught in his throat.

Jeff looked every bit like the holiday dream. Standing at 6’0” and weighing around 230 pounds in his current off-season prime, his clothes only showcased his impressive physique. His broad shoulders, massive chest, and symmetrical arms exuded power. His narrow waist and perfectly balanced proportions lent him an almost sculptural appearance. His thick, strong legs and round bubble butt supported his impressive frame with ease, making him a commanding presence in the room.

Jeff wore a dark red sweater that clung to his muscular frame, highlighting every curve and ridge of his chest and arms. The fabric stretched over his broad shoulders, emphasizing their incredible width as his tapered waist made the fit look custom-tailored. A pair of dark gray trousers hugged his powerful thighs, their straight cut perfectly balanced between casual and sophisticated, hinting at the sheer strength contained within his massive legs. The fabric stretched tightly over Jeff’s impressive bulge and butt, making Austin gasp for the millionth time. No matter how often he had seen Jeff during the last three months, the big man always impressed Austin.

Jeff’s face was nothing short of perfection. His chiseled jawline and high cheekbones framed a radiant smile that lit up the room. His deep-set hazel eyes hinted at the playful side that often surfaced in his interactions. Jeff moved confidently through the crowd, exchanging greetings and laughter, captivating Austin’s attention. His perfectly defined and symmetrical muscles made him stand out even more among the average physiques of the office staff. Austin’s gaze remained fixed on Jeff, his heart pounding hard. He couldn’t help but admire how the sweater outlined the sculpted lines of Jeff’s back and how his biceps stretched the sleeves with every movement. The scene was perfect.

The coworkers gathered closer around the tree, their laughter and chatter filling the air as the Secret Santa exchange began. Austin clutched the blue gift bag, his fingers slightly trembling as he tried to steady his breathing. Across the room, Jeff looked stunning, making it impossible for Austin to look away. Then, as Jeff noticed Austin staring at him, the big man playfully winked at him, making Austin blush and look down.

As the exchange kicked off, one of Austin’s coworkers stepped forward with a bright smile. “Before I hand this gift to Austin,” he said, “I just want to say how much we all appreciate him. He’s responsible, kind, always willing to lend a hand, and honestly one of the hardest-working people I’ve ever met.” The group nodded in agreement, and Austin’s cheeks flushed a deep pink as the coworker handed him a cheerful red-and-green gift bag. Inside the bag, Austin found a pair of Christmas-themed pajamas. “These are for you to relax at home during the holidays and forget about work for once! Please RELAX.”

Austin chuckled softly, holding the pajamas up for everyone to see. “Thank you so much,” he said, smiling. “I’ll definitely take your advice.”

Then, it was his turn. Austin’s heart raced as he stepped forward, tightly clutching the gift bag. “So, my Secret Santa recipient is someone who’s made a big impact on me,” he began, his voice steady but nervous. “He has this incredible way of making everyone feel welcome. His friendly smile is something I’ve admired since the day I started.” Austin paused, glancing at Jeff. “He’s also the person who interviewed me for this internship,” Austin continued, his cheeks reddening as Jeff smiled. “That day was nerve-wracking for me, but his kindness and professionalism made it easier. And, well…” Austin hesitated, his gaze flickering to Jeff’s broad chest and powerful arms. “He’s… impressive in many ways—his confidence, dedication, and, honestly, his incredible physique. I mean, look at him—Jeff is like a walking example of why we should join a gym in January.” The room laughed and cheered, making Austin’s blush deepen.

Austin handed the blue gift bag to Jeff with trembling hands, who accepted it with a grin. Before Austin could step back, Jeff pulled him into a tight hug, his massive arms wrapping around him like a warm, muscular cocoon. Austin felt the solid expanse of Jeff’s chest pressing against him, the hard ridges of muscle evident even through the thick sweater. Jeff’s biceps flexed as he held Austin close, leaving him momentarily breathless.

“Thanks, Austin,” Jeff whispered in Austin’s ear as he held him close. Austin got lost in the moment, his heart beating fast as he inhaled Jeff’s subtle masculine cologne. Austin’s hands hovered awkwardly at first but then couldn’t resist resting them lightly against Jeff’s thick back, marveling at the sheer size and density of the man holding him. The sensation sent a shiver through Austin, and he felt his body reacting to the tight contact with an undeniable stirring around his crotch that showed faintly in the front of his trousers when Jeff finally released him.

As Jeff opened the bag, he pulled out a gym outfit—a sleek black tank top with red accents and matching shorts designed to emphasize his muscular build. “This is perfect,” Jeff said, holding the outfit up for everyone to see. Next, he reached in and found a box tied with a festive ribbon. The label read: Big Boy’s Bakery, accompanied by a logo of a massive curled arm flexing with a cupcake on the bicep. Jeff paused, intrigued by the design. “Big Boy’s Bakery?” he asked, looking at Austin with raised brows.

“It’s a new place I found,” Austin said shyly. “The owner told me that they make the best desserts in town and that these cookies are special. Special like you,” he said, blushing again.

Jeff’s grin widened. “I love cookies, and this logo is something else! I love it.” He untied the festive ribbon and opened the box, revealing a dozen Christmas-themed cookies shaped like snowflakes, Santa hats, Christmas trees, and a pair of large, muscular gingerbread men. “These look incredible!” Jeff exclaimed, holding up a cookie shaped like a snowflake, though his eyes stayed on the muscular gingerbread men.

The group clapped and cheered as Jeff grinned, clearly pleased. Throughout the rest of the exchange, Austin couldn’t stop stealing glances at Jeff. His heart fluttered when Jeff caught his eye and responded with a playful smile or a casual pec bounce, making Austin’s cheeks burn. Austin had a huge crush on Jeff, but now he was finally noticing that the big guy was giving him signs that the feeling was mutual.

As the party transitioned into casual mingling, Austin noticed Jeff excusing himself, the box of cookies in hand. Curiosity got the better of him, and he quietly followed Jeff down the hall to the bathroom. The door was slightly ajar, and Austin peeked through the gap, his eyes widening as Jeff devoured the cookies with astonishing speed. In just a few bites, the entire dozen was gone.

Austin gasped softly, and Jeff’s head turned toward the door. Catching Austin’s wide-eyed expression, Jeff grinned, crumbs still clinging to his lips. “Caught me,” he said, his voice teasing. “Come on in, Austin. No need to be shy. I expected you to come, so I left the door open.”

Austin hesitated for only a moment before stepping into the room, his cheeks burning as Jeff looked at him with a playful smile. “I... I didn’t mean to—”

Jeff chuckled, cutting him off. “Relax. It’s Christmas, after all. A day for surprises.” His grin widened as he brushed the crumbs from his sweater, his massive shoulders shaking slightly with laughter. “This might also be a day for truth. I was surprised by what you said about me. What was it? ‘He’s impressive in many ways.’”

Austin’s heart fluttered at the playful tone, his eyes darting to the way Jeff’s biceps flexed as he adjusted the Santa hat perched on his head. “I wasn’t… I mean, I think you are impressive,” Austin said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Jeff stepped forward, approaching Austin, his broad physique making the small space feel even more intimate. “It was cool, Austin,” he said warmly, his hazel eyes sparkling. “I’m glad you followed me because I wanted to tell you that I think you’re very impressive, too. You’re kind and cute and the most handsome guy in the office,” he said, reaching for Austin’s face to caress his cheeks.

Austin’s heart skipped a beat, his breath catching as Jeff’s touch sent a warm shiver down his spine. His blush deepened, and he tried to steady himself. However, the proximity of Jeff’s muscular body made it nearly impossible. “I… I didn’t want you to think I, um, I mean…” he said, his words tumbling over themselves as he struggled to articulate his thoughts.

Jeff chuckled softly. “Relax, Austin,” he said, his thumb brushing lightly against Austin’s lips. “I’m glad you’re here. It’s nice having someone as sweet as you around. But did you really mean what you said?”

Austin swallowed hard, his heart racing as he looked into Jeff’s captivating gaze. Gathering his courage, he smiled shyly and replied, “I—I did. You’re perfect, Jeff. I can’t even begin to describe how perfect I think you are.”

Jeff’s grin widened, and he tilted Austin’s chin upward gently. “You know,” he murmured, his voice dropping an octave, “I’ve been hoping to tell you how much I like you. You’ve been stuck in my head since that day when you came for the interview. When I caught you staring at me during meetings, I wanted to jump across the table to kiss you. When I caught you staring at me earlier, I wanted to rip off your clothes to take you there.”

Austin’s eyes widened, his mind barely processing Jeff’s words. “I—I... you... you.” The atmosphere between them shifted, the closeness amplifying the tension in the air.

Jeff leaned in further, his hand still cradling Austin’s face, and for a moment, they were speechless. Then, Jeff softly laughed. “Let me know if I’m coming on too strong, okay?”

Austin shook his head quickly, his blush deepening. “No, it’s not that. I—I like this,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “I like you.”

Jeff’s warm smile softened into something even more tender. Without a word, he closed the gap between them, his lips brushing against Austin’s in a kiss. Austin melted into the kiss, his hands resting lightly against Jeff’s chest, feeling the solid expanse of muscle beneath his fingertips.

As they pulled back, Jeff’s hazel eyes searched Austin’s face. “I’ve been wanting to do that for a while,” he admitted, his voice a low rumble. “You’re pretty hard to resist, Austin.”

Austin’s cheeks flushed an even deeper shade of red, unable to look away from Jeff’s warm, hazel gaze. He managed a small, shy smile. “Thanks, Jeff. And you’re impossible to resist,” he whispered.

Jeff grinned, staying firmly pressed against Austin. “And you seem to know me well. Those were the best cookies I’ve ever had. You have to give the address of that bakery shop.”

Austin’s blush persisted, but he managed a soft laugh. “I’m glad you liked them,” he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. He felt Jeff’s body heating up and pulsating. And the words of the bakery owner came to mind: “These cookies are powerful and will help whoever consumes them gain some muscles. Go slow on them.” His gaze flickered to the now-empty box in Jeff’s hand, and he couldn’t help but wonder if there was some truth to the warning.
