“She even put it in one of those store-bought containers,” my father joked, which caused him to get the middle finger from my mom.
We all started laughing as she went into the kitchen, and a few minutes later, she came back out with more plates, plastic forks, and the infamous dessert.
“My favorite kind of cake,” Oli said and gave my mom a wink.
She tried to look stern but ended up laughing and saying a juicy curse word under her breath as she served us each a slice. I grabbed everyone coffee, and together, we sat around the table and laughed, joked, and reminisced about all the times we’ve shared that made us happy.
“Shit,” Franny said as she looked out the window. “It’s starting to really come down out there.” This prompted Mom and Dad to get up and stare out the dining-room window, too. “I hate to be a party-pooping Debbie Downer, but I’m dipping out.”
“Yeah,” Dad agreed. “you don’t have the best vehicle for this kind of weather, Fran.”
“I know, I know.”
“Come on, Franny. Let’s help your sister clean up, and we’ll head out.”
“It’s just a few paper plates I need to toss. The glory of my choice in fine china you guys were hassling me about earlier. Go on before it gets worse out there, and text me when you’re all safe at home,” I ordered.
The visit had come and gone far too fast, and I stood in the open doorway with my arms around my waist as I watched my sister’s car back out of the driveway. Oli was in the foyer putting his jacket on, and I felt him come up to stand beside me.
“Shit, it is coming down hard. I better head out.”
I turned and smiled up at him, giving him a nod. “Yeah, your rental isn’t gonna do well in this snow, not since you opted for that flashy sports car.”
Oli laughed and gripped the edge of the door, still staring outside. “I asked for a four-wheel drive, but the pimply teenager gave me that piece of shit.” He looked at me and grinned. “Thanks for dinner. It was nice getting to hang out with everyone and catch up. It’s been too long.”
“Well… don’t stay gone so long this time,” I scolded through a smirk.
With one more hug and a kiss to my temple, I watched Oli head to his car and drive off. I was about to shut the door when I felt this tightening in my belly and a prickling on the back of my neck.
I glanced around, but all I saw was the thick snow coming down harder, the wind creating drifts that were piling up. A gust blew by, and my hair whipped around my face. I glanced around again, seeing nothing but a thick cloud of white.
But I felt like I wasn’t alone… like there was something out there waiting.
Watching.
I shut the door and locked it, finding myself taking several steps backward and staring at it because the notion of not being alone grew. But with the howling wind and the fact that I was by myself in my house, my family having left because of this storm, I shrugged it off, chalking it up to the eeriness of the weather and an overactive imagination.
That’s what I kept telling myself, anyway.
Chapter
Two
It felt good.
Warm wetness between my legs, something thick and soft pushing into my body. I gyrated my hips, seeking more of that sensation, knowing if it continued, I’d fall over the edge.
I woke up with a gasp, my hand between my thighs, my pussy soaked as I had a finger lodged inside my body.
I wanted to say I didn’t know what woke me, but as I pulled my hand free, my fingers drenched from my wetness, I didn’t have to wonder for long.
As I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, I tried to catch my breath and ease my heart rate. The curtains were partially open, and because of the streetlight across the road, I could see the whipping snow of the storm that still hadn’t let up.
I turned my head and looked at the clock on my bedside table. Three in the morning. I pushed myself up and glanced around, and although the room was still and quiet, I still felt this weird sensation settle over me.
I hadn’t been able to fall asleep as quickly as I hoped once I turned in for the night, that weird, eerie sense of being watched still crawling along my arms and legs. But when exhaustion settled in deep, I finally lost consciousness only to wake up just now like I was in heat.
I chuckled as I’d gone from one side of the spectrum to the opposite end. But it was when my skin prickled and the hair on my arms stood on end that my laughter faded. My heart raced, and my mouth went dry.
