“Good morning,” she said.
Now that is what he wanted. He took the coffee, had a swig of the hard liquid, but then moved closer to her, lifting her up in his arms. He carried her over to the kitchen counter and put her down.
She giggled. “You’re cold.”
“Then it’s time for you to warm me up.”
She burst out laughing, gasping as he put his hands all over her body, touching her. She was so fucking beautiful. He tore the clothes from her body, wanting her completely naked.
It didn’t take him long to pull out his cock. He found her entrance, and she was slick and ready for him. Slamming inside her, he drove harder and harder within her, taking her.
He didn’t want her to leave.
Part of him wanted to take her asshole, so that she knew what it felt like being owned by every part of him, but he didn’t want to waste his cum. He didn’t know if she was pregnant yet. Driving in harder and deeper, he stared into her eyes, and he saw something, he wasn’t sure what, but it drove him over the edge and he filled her up. Wave upon wave of his cum flooded her pussy, until he nearly saw stars.
“Wow,” she said and laughed. “Is that what walking does for you?”
“It has been a … cold morning.”
“You don’t feel cold to me.”
He chuckled. Elijah had to tell her.
“I can take you back to the cabin,” he said. He hated saying those words.
The smile on her lips dropped and he knew he’d spoiled the moment.
“What?”
“The snow has melted,” he said. “I can take you back to your cabin. There’s nothing wrong with your ankle so I don’t think we need to worry about you seeing a doctor.” He hated what he was saying.
What he really wanted to say was this: “Please don’t leave. I love you, Josie. I want you to stay with me. I want to marry you, have lots of babies, and the truth is, I hope you’re already pregnant with my child, and I want to be a father…”
Then it all gets muddled up into him ordering her to stay. No, he wanted her to have a choice.
“Oh,” Josie said. “You can take me home.”
“If that’s what you want?”
She looked away from him and he saw her nibble her lip, a frown covering her face. He shouldn’t have said anything.
“I guess I better go and head back, right? Before anything is … stolen or perhaps reported, maybe?”
“If that’s what you want? I don’t know how long we’ll have before the next snowstorm. There could be a limited time to get you where you need to be.”
Josie smiled. “Then I guess I’m going back to my … cabin. Back to my life.”
Elijah had gone through a lot in his life. Dealt with every decision, gotten back up, wiped himself down, and moved on. His heart fucking shattered. He hated himself for telling her, hated that she wanted to return to her life.
This woman had stumbled into his world, calling out for help, looking so fucking helpless, and he’d fallen in love with her. His dogs came to him, and he stepped back from her, needing space. Needing something so that he didn’t break down and fucking cry.
“I’ll go get dressed and start the car.”
Chapter Seven
Josie saw her cabin up ahead. Her life was falling apart.
Did Elijah want to get rid of her? She had prayed the snow wouldn’t melt, and look what had happened. It had freaking melted.
“It’s just around the corner.”
At no point during their journey had they been thwarted. Even her own clothes had been washed and dried, and that was what she was wearing now. Complete with the backpack she’d been carrying that she’d forgotten about. Elijah had stored it for her.
Should she tell him they’d been having unprotected sex and she might be pregnant with his child?
“That’s it, there.” She pointed at the cabin where her car was still parked. “This is … me.”
She reached for the door, and then turned to look at Elijah. “I had an amazing time.”
“Josie, you don’t have to do this.”
“What do you think about kids?” she asked. The words just blurted out of her mouth.
“What?”
“Children. Babies. Are you still wanting a family? Do you want me to leave? I can leave, if you want me to.” Her words were all falling together. She held her hands up and took a deep breath. “I … I’ve never done anything like this, so I’m just going to let this out. Elijah, the past few days, the week, I don’t even know how long it’s been, have been the best of my life. I know it seems crazy to say this seeing as we’ve only known each other like a week, but I … I love you. I’m falling in love with you, and your dogs, and your life. I don’t want to go back. I may still have to work, but I can figure something out. I mean, you don’t have Internet access, but you said yourself that you have to come into town. I could do that.” She was panicking as he wasn’t saying anything. “Also, not that I’m trying to trap you or anything.” She couldn’t help but wince at this one. “I’m not on anything. I have no pill. We could be making a baby already.” She licked her lips.
