“Here, this will keep you warm until the fire heats up.” I tuck it around her, and even in the dim light of the fire, I can see her smile up at me.
“Thank you, Nolan.” Hearing her say my name makes my knees feel weak, and I don’t know why.
“Take a seat by the fire. I’ll heat you up some stew.” She nods, and I go into the kitchen to grab some food.
My sister sent me a text earlier that she was dropping off a big pot of stew and putting it in the oven to keep warm. When I open the oven, I see it in there with a loaf of fresh bread on top. It’s wrapped in cloth, and everything is still warm.
Once I’ve filled two bowls and gotten a tray of food, I take it out to the living room and place it in front of Mia. Her cheeks are warmer now, and her eyes light up when she sees what I’ve brought her.
“Oh my goodness, did you make this?” She tears off some of the bread and moans as she chews.
The sounds she makes when eating make my dick hard. But I guess that’s just about expected at this point.
“Seeing your reaction makes me wish I did,” I say. “But I can’t take credit for it. My sister knew I’d be out late because of the storm, and she dropped it off. She’s got a place on the other side of the property, so she’s got power like I do. I also scheduled one of the guys to go by and drop off a load of wood for her later so she’ll be able to have a fire during the storm.
“Are you guys close?” she asks between bites of the stew. Mia practically licks the spoon with every bite, and I’m content just to watch her eat.
“Yeah, we are.” I nod. “You have any siblings?” She shakes her head. “We lost my mom a few years ago, and she’s taken over the mother hen role. She’ll be glad when I get a wife of my own to look after me.”
Mia pauses with the spoon halfway to her mouth. She blinks once and then takes the bite. I don’t miss the way she looks me up and down.
“I probably should have asked sooner, but you don’t have a girlfriend or a wife?”
“Nope.” I shake my head. “And I wouldn’t have brought you here if I did.” I reach out and tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. “Whatever you might think of me, I’m not a disloyal man. If anything, I’m possessive. When I see something I want, I do whatever it takes to make it mine. And once it belongs to me, I don’t like to share.” I just have never had that urge when it came to a woman. Now I do.
My fingers trace the shell of her ear before I drop my hand and go back to my stew.
We talk a bit more until she’s eaten enough that I’m convinced she’s full. After I clean up the kitchen, I go to my bedroom and start a fire there. Once the room is warm enough, I go and get Mia. She’s stretched out on the couch half asleep, and I hate to wake her up.
“Come on, little lamb,” I tell her as I pull her into my arms. She curls against me as I carry her to my room and then into the bathroom.
“Where are we going?”
“It’s time for bed,” I tell her as I put her on her bare feet and then remove my jacket from around her shoulders. “But first you need to pay for dinner.”
She blinks up at me in confusion until I pull off my baseball cap and then reach for my shirt. Her eyes widen, and she stares at my bare chest.
“Don’t worry, I’ll go slower this time.”
I turn on the hot water in the shower and let the room fill with steam. Even though the power is out all over town, I’ve got my hot water on a gas line, and it’s going strong. I turn on all the showerheads and then strip Mia out of her clothes so she’s completely naked.
“Nolan,” she says when I reach for my belt. “We really should be careful this time. I told you I’m not on the pill.”
“You seemed to like it while it was happening.” I push my jeans down my thighs, and my cock springs out between us. It’s thick and dripping, and the vein on the underside is pulsing like it’s got its own heartbeat. “You let me nut in you bare, Mia.” I shake my head. “How do you expect me to go back now? You can’t give it to me and then take it away. That’s not nice.”
