As her perky tits bounce, I grab her nipples. Kendall's head falls back on her shoulders, and her body tightens. Seeing her lose herself is all it takes for my impending release to build. She continues her pace as she rides me, and moments later, I squeeze her hips and spill inside her.

We unravel together, moaning and panting, then both come down from our high. She topples on my chest, and I hold her until we catch our breaths. Eventually, we break apart, and once we're clean, I look over at the board.

Hotels, houses, and money are scattered everywhere. Kendall giggles when the realization hits.

"Now what do we do?" she asks. "We'll never know who won."

I meet her eyes and smile. "I think we both did, Angel."

After we pick up all the pieces and put everything back in the box, Kendall and I find something to eat. We settle with tuna and crackers, then go back to the couch and watch another Hallmark movie. At this point, I don’t even fight it because I know how happy it makes her, and that’s all I care about anyway.

This time, we lie down together, and I hold her in my arms. My eyes grow tired, and I realize how much being with Kendall over the past week has calmed my anxiety. I'm usually wound up so tight from work that I sleep like shit. When I'm around her, I'm more relaxed and sleep through the night. Too often, I've woken up from nightmares or flashes of working during the pandemic. The PTSD likes to fuck with me like that.

The past week has been incredible, and though I know our time together will eventually end, I'm not sure if I really want it to.Chapter FifteenKendallDAY 8All morning I've been pacing. The windchill is still below zero and more snow has fallen overnight. As long as we have power, I'll be able to handle it, but I'm going stir-crazy.

The last time I stayed locked up inside like this was during quarantine. Now, it's starting to get to me, and I know it's affecting Ryan too. He wants to get back to work as much as I want to get home. Though I'm not complaining because I love spending time with him and having him all to myself. It's the only saving grace to all of this.

If we would've been arguing the entire time, I would've shoveled myself out of here. Ryan’s been busy on his laptop all morning, so I don't want to disturb him.

He looks up from his screen when I stand. When our eyes meet, a gush of excitement courses through me. It’s ridiculous how much he affects me just by being here with me.

"Where ya going?"

"Was thinking a hot shower might be good."

Ryan chews on his lip with his perfect teeth. "Have fun."

"I will," I say, popping a brow, then walking upstairs.

Once I’m in the bathroom, I grab my razor and shaving cream along with body butter, then turn on the water. Once it's warm, I step inside and let the stream fall over my body. When I close my eyes, all I can think about is Ryan and the way it feels when he touches or kisses me. It hasn't even been a full week since we agreed to “only sex,” but all those underlying feelings I've held back over the years are boiling over. I'm already getting attached to him, and I'm scared to death I'm falling for him. The way he looks at me is enough to bring me to my knees. I don't know how I'm going to go back to my life before being with him. It's possible Ryan St. James has broken me and ruined me for all men.

After I shave my legs, I scrub my arms and legs with the body butter. Ryan thought my skin was soft before, but now I can't wait for him to touch me after this. I take my time, allowing my mind to wander, and I decide that as soon as I'm out of the shower, I need to call Cami.

She's the only person who understands us both on a personal level and can talk me off the emotional ledge.

Once my hair is cleaned, I allow the strong beads of water to massage my back, then I suck in a deep breath and get out.

My skin is steaming as I dry off and wrap myself in a fluffy robe. After I twist my hair up into a towel, I grab my phone to FaceTime my best friend.

"Hey, future sister-in-law! What's up?" She answers on the second ring.

"Just wanted to chat and see how things are going over there while I get ready."

"Get ready for what?"

I blush at the thought of what tonight will be. "I guess to seduce your brother?" Laughing, I shrug. “Not that it’s much of a challenge at this point.”
