After the bar incident, I barely slept a wink. My mind was running and running and there was no sign of a finish line.
I managed to drag myself to the college and meet with the dean. He’d greeted me like I was family, shaking my hand and grinning widely. But for someone on the DePalma family payroll, I expected nothing less.
By the time I returned to the hotel, I still hadn’t decided what I was going to do. The lobby was quiet now, there were a handful of people in the bar enjoying a meal, but other than that, it was a complete contrast to the festivities that had been on last night.
I guess everyone was still sleeping off their hangovers and waking up next to people they didn’t recognize.
My room was serene. Some doors opened onto a small deck, it overlooked the busy street below. The sun shone through, hitting my bed perfectly and I couldn’t help but leap on it. The sun’s rays burnt at my skin but it felt so good, so warm.
My plane left in three hours. It was time to make a decision. I buried my face in my pillow with a deep sigh, but just as I did, there was a harsh knock at my door. I rolled over, nearly flipping myself off the side of the bed. Nobody knew I was here. Who would be knocking? I clambered to my feet, tiptoeing over to the door.
“Who is it?” I called out, but no answer came in return. Maybe they’d gone? Maybe they had the wrong room?
I took a deep breath and turned the handle, unlocking it and pulling it open gently. When I saw him standing there, arms folded across his broad chest, my heart began to pound.
“What… What are you doing here?” I asked breathlessly through the small gap. He placed his palm on the door and pushed. Stunned, I didn’t have enough time to stop him as he strolled through and slammed it behind him, flicking the lock.
“Was about to ask you the same thing,” Blizzard said, a chill in his voice that I still wasn’t used to. His blue eyes stared me down, he stood tall and intimidating but I wasn’t afraid. I wanted to reach out to him, pull him closer, touch him, and remind myself that he was real and he was okay.
“I had to come and pick up my Certificate of Completion for college,” I told him, stepping sideways, closer to the bed. My room was reasonably big, but with him in it, it seemed so confined. There was nowhere to run, even if I’d wanted to.
But I didn’t.
I gestured to the set of papers that I’d tossed onto the bed when I’d gotten in. He didn’t even follow. Instead, he continued to stare at me.
Swallowing back my apprehension I asked, “How did you know I was here?”
The corner of his mouth turned up. “It’s our job to find out everything that happens here.”
I didn’t doubt that. I knew just being here, that there was a high possibility that one of them would spot me. I was actually surprised it had taken this long.
He finally moved, taking his eyes off me and admiring the room. “Would have thought the DePalmas could afford something nicer than this?”
It was meant to be a cheap shot, but the truth was, I didn’t even feel it. I was in too much of a trance to feel anything at that point.
Blizzard was larger than I remembered. He seemed to have put on muscle, but in all the right places. His waist was still trim and tapered, but his shoulders and chest were broad and wide. He stepped closer to me and I fought the urge to retreat, reminding myself that I wasn’t afraid of this man. I knew in my heart he wouldn’t hurt me. I’d seen how it had crushed him to see me in pain. He’d seen me at my worst, and I knew he’d never lay a finger on me in that way. But I also knew that his words could do just as much damage as any other man’s fists. He came closer until we were almost touching and I had to crane my neck to look up at him.
“You shouldn’t have come back,” he whispered softly, his eyes only for me.
I licked my lips nervously. “Why?”
His hand flew up and cupped the side of my neck, his fingers burying themselves in the hair at the base. I flinched back, but he held me in place. It wasn’t meant to hurt me, but it was meant to show dominance and I couldn’t help but get excited by the feeling.
He tilted my head back even further, at the same time pulling me closer. My hands unconsciously came up and my palms pressed flat against his chest. I wished his shirt was gone so I could rake my fingernails down the solid muscle. I wanted to feel every dip and bump of his abs underneath my hands.
“You’re a temptation that I can’t afford to risk,” he told me as his eyes roamed my face, his head tilting from side to side as if he wanted to dip his face and kiss me.
Running my hand down his stomach, I could feel the tightness and I knew he was struggling to hold himself back. I tucked my fingers just inside the top of his jeans waiting until he found my eyes again.
“Take the risk,” I whispered, my throat clogged with emotion.
He didn’t wait another second, crushing his mouth to mine and dipping his body so he could wrap his other arm under my ass and lift me from the floor. My legs wrapped around his waist and my arms around his neck, clinging to him like he was my life line.
Our mouths battled, refusing to come up for breath. I never wanted this to end, it was what I’d dreamed of for so long. I ground my hips as he stepped back, dropping himself onto my bed and falling onto his back. The kiss broke as we bounced and a small giggle escaped me. I pulled back, brushing my hair back from my face and looking down at him. The smirk he gave me was sexy and enticing, and once again I’d found the Blizzard that I remembered from the first night we met. He was brash and fun, and no matter how much I’d protested he’d somehow managed to make me laugh.
His hands palmed both my cheeks as he pressed me down against him, I let out a tiny moan. My tight jean shorts had ridden up, and with the help of his hard cock the seam was rubbing in just the right spot.
I placed both hands on his chest and arched my back. “Blizzard.” The words fell from my lips so easily, like they were perfect for my mouth.
