Peering through the windshield up at the second floor of her new workplace, Kaylee sighed. She was never one to be excited about going to a work party, but since she was relatively new to the company and all, she figured it'd be better to put on a smile and act friendly. The red-coated fox's paws pressed down firmly onto the steering wheel as she pulled her car into a parking spot, her wheels sliding slightly on the icy asphalt of the lot.
It had only been a month or two since she accepted her position as a Senior Software Engineer for a major video game company, and while it wasn't nearly as exciting as her previous job working with machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms, she couldn't deny that the end result was prettier to look at. With a quiet click, Kaylee's seatbelt unfastened from its clasp, and she emerged from her car into the cold, brisk air. The temperature had dropped significantly over the last week and the crisp smell of winter in the air assaulted her nostrils as she briskly walked around to the front door of the building, opening it with a keycard and making her way inside. A spacious foyer greeted her, decorated in holly wreaths and garlands, along with an enormous Christmas tree towering up towards the ceiling, already adorned with dozens of popcorn strands. A Christmas song played lightly in the background, emanating from hidden speakers somewhere off in the distance.
She made her way through the lobby, her nose crinkling at the overwhelming amount of pine scenting the air. The party itself was being held in one of the meeting rooms upstairs. It was a small place, probably intended more for brainstorming and the like, but it'd still make for a decent venue for a party, probably. Not that the rather straight-laced vulpine would know much about that. She was not the type of girl who went out to clubs in college, and even now, she felt that the idea of being seen in public looking for all the world like she was trying too hard just wasn't her thing. After all, she was a professional.
The elevator doors slid open with a soft ding, the faint scent of eggnog wafting towards her as she stepped into the metal box and pressed the button for the second floor. Once again, she grimaced, her nose wrinkling. Being a canine, like a good majority of the population, Kaylee was sensitive to scents, and right now, she smelled nothing but the pungent aroma of alcohol and various snacks. The light chatter of conversation mixed with the laughter of happy employees sounded muffled through the concrete walls of the shaft, and after waiting for the doors to slide open once more, she stepped out onto the second floor, making her way across the hallway until she found the room on the left labeled "Break Room".
Pushing the door open, Kaylee saw that the room was crowded with anthros, most of whom were decked out in festive clothing or other decorations. Near the back, a Christmas tree stood tall in the corner, surrounded by various Christmas decorations and even an artificial snowman, sitting smugly in a chair beside it. Two chairs were placed in front of a television playing a video game with an intensely Christmas-esque title screen; one of them already occupied by a cheery-looking deer dressed in an elf costume. In front of the television was another small table, laden with finger foods and bottles of various alcoholic drinks. At the far end of the room sat a long folding table covered with paper plates of various pastries and baskets of wrapped snacks.
"Kaylee! Wow, you came!" exclaimed a silver-furred rabbit excitedly, bounding over to her. "We didn't know if you'd come."
Putting on her social grace like a cheap suit, the drab red fox said, "I had to come! I wouldn't miss my first company Christmas party!"
The rabbit, whose name was Sasha, pouted slightly and looked down at Kaylee's attire. "I can tell it's your first year at this company," she giggled. "You should definitely have come in something a little more… fun!" Leaning in closer, she whispered, "To be honest, you have a beautiful, richly colored coat; I was looking forward to seeing you flash a little more of it at the party."
Kaylee shifted uncomfortably under her gaze. "You don't say? Well, it's not like I own anything so flashy anyway. I like being unobtrusive."
Whisking a finger up to her muzzle, the rabbit grinned, "Hmm… I think we can improvise something for you to wear then!" And with that, she took hold of Kaylee's sleeve, dragging her across the room. The fox balked for only a moment before following after her. She glanced back at the gathering of her coworkers, but all they did was smile and wave at her as she was pulled into the center of the room. Taking hold of a handful of her shirt, Sasha brought Kaylee's face closer to her own, nuzzling the fox's nose affectionately as she whispered, "First, let me get these boring business clothes off of you…"
"What… what are you…" Kaylee could barely even get the words out as the silver-colored rabbit gently peeled her blazer down from her shoulders, revealing the sleek, black dress shirt beneath. The two females stood there in the middle of the room, drawing stares from around the party. Turning to face Kaylee fully, Sasha began unbuttoning the other female's shirt, one button at a time, a mischievous expression on her face. She soon had the red fox's shirt untucked from her pants, allowing it to fall away from her body.
"Ooh, let me help you with that," chirped a grey-furred squirrel from behind her, reaching for the fox's waistband. Sliding her paw over the red fox's hips, she tugged the belt loose and sent it tumbling to the floor. Feeling the cool air brush over the red fur of her belly, Kaylee shivered slightly, still too shocked to put up any kind of resistance as the squirrel guided her slacks down over her hips, until they pooled about her ankles. Standing there in her underwear, she stared wide-eyed at the gathered group, noting several of them holding ornaments, garlands, and other Christmas decorations. One of them, a well-muscled jackal, who she just now realized was completely shirtless, smiled and winked at her as he gestured with a length of ribbon in his paw.
