She smiled against my lips and sighed. “So, how stringent are you on rules about snow sex?”
I smiled, rolling over to lean over her, pressing a deep, lingering kiss to her mouth. “I can be convinced to bend the rules.”
It didn’t take her long to convince me of that, though.
Not at all.
Chapter 12
Marley
Despite almost becoming hypothermic during our little dalliance, I woke up feeling content late the next morning.
After Cole got me back home (and into a hot bath), he promised to indulge in a little sleeping in with me. When the sun came through the window and woke me, Cole was still sleeping blissfully next to me. He looked so peaceful, and he also looked like he needed the sleep, so I slid out of his arms and out of bed to start getting ready for the arrival of the Georgia Pack.
“Where are you going?” Cole murmured, sleepily grabbing for my wrist.
I laughed, crawling back into bed and kissing his forehead and cheeks. “I’m getting up to get ready for your grandfather and the rest of his pack mates, baby. Go back to sleep. You have time to get some rest. I have a lot more to do to get ready.”
“No,” he pouted, wrapping his arms around me like a vice and rolling on top of me, entrapping me. “You’re stuck with me, Mrs. Lucas.”
“Oh no!” I cried out playfully. “I’m trapped!”
“That’s right,” he said, opening his eyes narrowly. I was sure he was still half-asleep. “I’m keeping you captive, and then I’m going to scarf you down like a little tiny wife cupcake.”
I snorted a laugh. “Baby, did you even hear what you just said?”
“I plead the fifth,” he slurred.
Okay, he was maybe more than half-asleep after all.
“Baby, let me get up,” I said. “I have to do my hair and stuff. And you’re heavy.”
“You’re heavy,” he grumbled, his body slackening.
I finally just surrendered to my prison. It was a comfortable prison, at least. I stayed there under him, brushing my hand over the planes of his back, closing my eyes and just relaxing. Indulging a bit in the decadence of a warm cuddle.
Marley the time thief, indeed.
I lay there for an hour or so before Cole finally roused enough to notice he’d entrapped me. Or, at least, remembered he had. He rolled up just enough to look down at me.
“Did I crush you?”
“Only a little bit. It was comfy, like a weighted blanket.”
“How did you get there?”
“I tried to get up, and you entrapped me. Said you were going to eat me like a tiny wife cupcake,” I reminded him.
“Huh,” he said. “Yeah, that sounds like half-asleep me.”
I chuckled and sighed. “Now, can I get up to get ready? I think we’re already going to be late.”
“I don’t think it’s something we have to be overly stressed about,” he said as he rolled over onto his back and stretched his arms over his head.
“You’re only saying that because you’re feeling good after a nice morning sleeping in,” I said as I slipped off the side of the bed.
“That is patently untrue,” he said. “I’m also saying it because I had amazing sex with my beautiful mate last night.”
