"Listen to that wind," I said as the wind howled outside.

"Yeah, it's pretty bad out there."

We lay there for half an hour listening to the howling winds, when I noticed how cool the room was beginning to get. The hotel was old, and it felt as if there wasn't much more than a piece of cardboard separating us from the weather outside.

"Going to be a cold one tonight," I said, getting up and making my way across the dark room to the desk. “I think the heat stopped working,” I said, holding my hand near the old radiator on the wall. Sure enough, it was cool to the touch.

"What are you doing?"

"Calling the front desk for more blankets. We are going to need them, especially if the heat doesn’t come back on. It hasn’t been off all that long, and it's already getting cold in here." I picked up my cell phone and used the light from the screen to see the phone to dial the front desk. The phone rang and rang, but no one answered.

"Can't get through?" Tess questioned, and I could hear the quiver in her voice.

"No, they must be busy. There is no answer," I replied, hanging the phone up and walking to the closet to check and see if there were more blankets on another shelf that we may have missed, but it was empty.

"Just come lay with me for now, that way we will stay warm until we can get through to ask for some."

"Are you sure?"

Tess said nothing, but I could see the outline of her body sitting up in bed from what little light was coming through the window. I saw she flipped the covers back as she waited for me.

I slid into the bed beside her and pulled her into me, then pulled the blankets up around us. We were both lying there together in silence, listening to the wind howl. Holding her in my arms was definitely a feeling I could get used to if I allowed myself to, I thought, my cock hardening at that idea. I reached down and adjusted myself, trying to will my cock to go down, but the more she snuggled into me, the harder I got. Soon the idea of calling for more blankets escaped my mind, and the howling winds lulled us both into a deep sleep.

I woke suddenly and glanced around the dark room looking for the clock; the power was still out. It was cold even under the blankets, and I could still hear the wind whipping around outside the window.

I quickly slipped out of bed and I shivered as the cold air hit my warm skin. I grabbed the blanket that I had been using from the couch and threw it over top of Tess. Then I walked to the window and glanced outside. Snow covered everything in a thick blanket of white, and it was still snowing hard. As I stood there, I could feel the cold radiating off the glass, so I pulled the thick curtains closed over the window, hoping that would help to stop the room from getting any colder. Then I crawled back into the warm bed.

I had just gotten comfortable and was about to spoon up behind Tess when she shifted and rolled over, snuggling into my side. "So cold." She quivered.

"Lift your head," I whispered.

The second she did, I slid my arm under her neck and then rolled onto my side, wrapping my other arm around her, enveloping her in my warmth. She was cold to the touch, and she shivered against me. I closed my eyes. She felt so tiny in my arms and holding her this way felt so natural to me. It wasn't sexual, or perhaps it was, but I certainly wasn't ready to admit that to myself.

I let out a deep sigh, pulling her closer, and all I could think about was what kind of bro code I had broken by placing that kiss on her lips earlier tonight.

She adjusted herself in my arms, resting her head against my chest, and that was when I felt her arm wrap around my waist, while she snuggled even closer than I thought possible.

My cock jumped, hardening at the fact her body was pressed so close against mine. I silently prayed that she couldn't feel me, but that thought went out of the window when I felt her place a tiny kiss on my chest, her hand travelling to my hip. My heart was beating so hard I was sure she could feel it through my chest, and my dick was pulsing as I concentrated on her hand.

I knew she felt me, and that thought turned me on more than anything. I wanted her to touch me so badly but had to chase that thought away or else I was going to act on how I was feeling. Then I felt her lips deliver another tiny kiss against my chest. I let out a small groan, gripping her hip, as she, too, let out a tiny moan. I didn't wait. I couldn’t. I rolled myself up onto my elbow and brought my free hand to her cheek and brought my lips to hers.

I felt her small hand grip my hip as my tongue parted her lips, washing through her mouth, and when I sucked on her bottom lip, she let out sexiest little moan, which was almost my undoing. My cock was so hard that it hurt, and I prayed that she’d put her hand on me, anything to stop the constant ache.

I squeezed her hip, pulling her as close to me as I could, kissing her hard, making sure she felt me. I wanted her to know how attracted I was to her, and I ground against her again. Our lips parted, and I lay back down, breathless, as my mind spun. I closed my eyes and that was when I felt her hand run over the front of my boxers. I went to take her hand when she surprised me by straddling my waist and raising her body on top of mine. I could feel the heat from between her legs and could only imagine how wet she must have been.

I wrapped my arms around her body as she kissed me with as much passion as I had kissed her, only this time I felt her hips rotate as she ground down onto me. I gripped her hips with my hands, praying that she would stop. It had been so long since I had been with a woman, and knew I wouldn't be able to take much without embarrassing myself, but it didn't stop her.

I watched in the shadows of the darkness as she sat up and pulled her shirt off over her head, her hardened nipples calling to me. "Touch me, Maddox. Please," she murmured, bringing her lips to mine.

I swallowed hard as I allowed my hands to travel up to her full breasts. Cupping them in my hands, I ran my thumbs over her already hardened nipples. I sat up and took one into my mouth as I pulled the covers up around her to keep her warm. The instant I had sucked her into my mouth, she dropped her head back and let out this deep moan that went straight to my cock. I then took the other into my mouth, repeating exactly what I had done. She rocked her hips against me as I pulled her into my arms.

"God you're beautiful," I whispered as I brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes. I could tell even in the darkness that her eyes were full of want and need. I pulled her down on top of me, rolled her over, and took her mouth with mine.

I didn't want to admit it to myself, but over the past few days, I had begun to feel for this woman who lay in my arms. I hadn't wanted to admit it to myself that there was something between us, but through each small touch and each slight gesture, the fog had finally cleared.

Now, as I held her, almost naked beneath me, my hands gripping her waist as I kissed her, I knew deep in my soul that I was in trouble. I just prayed that we took our time and that we didn't rush things. I didn't want to scare her away from me.
