She lets out a shaky breath, her lips curving into a tentative smile, and for a moment, the distance between us doesn’t feel so insurmountable. I cup her face with both hands, tilting her head back to meet my gaze, letting her see the truth in my eyes. “But if we do this, we do it together. No more running. No more deciding for both of us. You understand?”
She nods, her hands coming up to cover mine, her fingers warm against my skin. “No more running. I promise.”
I search her face for a long moment, and then I lean down, pressing my forehead to hers, breathing her in, letting myself believe that maybe, just maybe, this time we can make it work. The snow outside falls in a gentle hush, like the world is holding its breath, waiting for us to take the next step. And for the first time in years, I think I’m ready to take it with her.
Chapter Nine
Emma
The snow glitters like diamonds, the morning light turning the world into a blinding, untouched expanse of white and silver outside the cabin window. My chest is tight, my mind racing with a thousand thoughts, a thousand doubts, as I stare out at the familiar silhouette of Devil’s Peak in the distance. Everything here feels like it’s holding its breath—waiting, just like me. Waiting to see which way I’ll turn.
The blankets shift, sliding down his torso and revealing the chiseled abs that make my breath hitch. He’s one very hard man.
I let my fingers trail down his warm skin, pushing the sheet lower until his thick cock is exposed. The memory of last night flashes through my mind—how completely he filled me, how raw and primal his touch had been. My hand wraps around his thickness, loving the way his silky skin feels beneath my palm. I don’t know what came over me last night, but the need to be wrapped in his arms, naked and sweating, hasn’t faded. It’s like a craving that’s taken root deep inside me—like forever wouldn’t be long enough with him.
“Emma, baby,” Slate murmurs, voice thick with desire, his lids heavy as he raises himself on his elbows. “What are you doing?”
I smirk up at him, squeezing his length playfully. “Just admiring a work of art,” I purr, sliding my hand slowly up and down his cock. A low moan slips from his lips, making my own need pulse hotter.
“Baby…” There’s a rough edge to his voice that tells me he’s already losing the battle.
I lean closer, whispering against his skin. “You’re already so ready... and he’s so greedy.”
His lips twitch into a crooked grin. “I’m always greedy for that pretty pink pussy.” His head drops back, surrendering to the sensation. A thrill of power rushes through me, my hand working him, my desire to taste him taking over.
I bend down, licking along the length of his hardness from base to tip, savoring the salty taste of his skin before I wrap my lips around the tip, swirling my tongue. His cock twitches in my hand, and the way his breath shudders tells me just how much he’s enjoying this.
“Baby, I really want to cum in that pretty little mouth,” he rasps, struggling for control, his voice a strained growl.
He tries to move, but I push him back against the pillows. He doesn’t put up much of a fight, sinking back with a groan.
I take him deeper, my mouth gliding over his length, my saliva making him slick and warm, taking him right to the back of my throat. His hands tangle in my hair, tugging gently to guide my movements. I savor the sharp bite of pain, knowing it means he’s unraveling under my touch. That I’m the reason he’s losing control.
“Oh god, baby,” he moans, his voice rough and desperate. “You need to stop unless you want my hot load in your mouth.”
His words only spur me on. I keep up my pace, feeling the tension coil through his body until, with a final shudder, he spills into my mouth, hot and thick. I swallow him down, letting him feel the way I take every drop, and when I release him, it’s with a wicked smile on my lips.
“That was the best protein shake I’ve ever had,” I say, a playful gleam in my eye. He lets out a deep laugh, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me onto the bed with him, both of us bouncing on the mattress.
“Baby, you know payback’s a bitch.” His fingers find their way between my legs, slipping over my wetness before pressing one thick finger inside me. “I want my own sweet serving of this juicy pussy.”
He drags that same finger to my lips, smearing my arousal over them before licking it clean with a wicked smile. “So fucking delicious.”
