I step in, feeling drawn by the bag. “Can I see inside?”
Colt allows a weak smile to creep along his face. It’s the first time he’s relaxed since he kissed me. A wave of relief floods my body.
He lifts the bag off his neck and slowly, he drops the leather strap over my shoulders. With big hands gently gliding across my skin, he adjusts the bag so it rests just above my hip.
“I don’t use it much. It was one of the first projects I did to keep myself busy.” His gravelly voice burns against my face. “It was a distraction, really. I put off building this cabin for so long and things like making this bag made me feel like I belonged here.”
“I think you belong here.”
His eyes flash down at me. “Really? Is that what that report says?” He glances to my side where I’m gripping the clipboard. “Because I’m pretty sure I saw a whole bunch of crosses on there.”
“That’s just a sheet of paper. It means nothing, Colt.” I drift closer, his lips suddenly moist when he swipes a tongue across them.Irresistible.“You built this. With your own bare hands. Do you know how incredible that is?”
He shifts uncomfortably. “If only the fucking doors would stop falling off.”
I should giggle. But I don’t.
“… and the plumbing… Yeah, I wasn’t completely honest about that.”
I step in closer., allowing him to keep talking.
I like it that way – he’s distracted.
“…the roof is rusty and needs replacing. I’ve never got around to it because-”
My chest touches his, the clipboard falling to the ground when I let go and reach out for the heat of his skin. He keeps talking, staring down at me with the most amazing glint in his eyes.
I see his jaw move. The words reeling from those lips, teasing every wet nerve at the tip of my tongue.
The strength of his body soars through my touch, burning my palm. His breath trembles across my skin, sending shivers of desire to my soaked panties. I look to my hands, they’re flailing, fumbling to release the towel from around his waist. The second it falls to the floor, Colt’s large hands grip me by the waist.
My body responds.
I melt into his touch, embracing him, whimpering softly and allowing him to deem control over the moment.
He lifts me, tossing me to the bed and crawling across the mattress in the shape of a hulking beast. Wide shoulders and a big, heavy chest. Ready to consume me.
I am his. Completely his, forever.
“Colt…”
He stoops over me, darkness in his eyes. “Hannah…”
“Colt, I never wanted to leave you.”
He slides between my legs, my core throbbing, desperate for his touch.
“Don’t go, Hannah. Stay with me.”
I pull him on top of me, sealing the kiss with a deep moan that disappears somewhere between the sheets. He kisses my neck and my shoulder. He kisses my throat, crawling up and down my body, pulling and tugging my clothes off with quick, fast desperation that makes his movements almost clumsy.
Colt deepens our kiss, mumbling something about staying that I either choose to ignore or my heart doesn’t truly believe. His tongue sweeps into my mouth and I forget everything. I taste a mixture of freedom and everything I’ve ever dreamed of. Everything this mountain threatened to take from me, my life, my safety, security, and a heart protected so fiercely it could never be broken.
Now, it’s all coming loose.
I never want to go back. In this moment, this is everything.
