I ran my teeth gently over the purpling nipple, and she cried out, her body shaking wildly against mine, her soft pants flooded with her fluids. The emission she supplied dripped down onto my thigh and was enough to send my own orgasm into space, thick jets of ejaculate bursting through the fabric of my sweats and oozing out the other side.
“Haley,” I panted like I had a week ago in the dark. “Haley.”
She pulled my whimpering mouth against her chest, cradling it like she was pleased with my efforts. I shifted so my hand, slick with cum, could be pulled free and I wiped the remnants on the inside of my flannel.
Then I pulled Haley flat against my body, clinging to her like she was mine to protect. Perhaps she was now. If I had any say in it, she would be.
“Holy fuck that was intense,” she whispered.
“That was okay, right?” I asked, playing with her hair with my clean hand. She nodded then buried her face into my chest like she never wanted to be separated again. That alone solidified my possessiveness.
“This whole last week I’ve been thinking about that connection,” she said. “Now I can see that it goes deeper than I even thought.”
I nodded. “You’re an incredible girl, Haley,” I said.
“And you’re a good man,” she replied.
We sat there holding each other for another ten minutes before dressing into our snow suits and heading back up to the lodge. I was desperate to push her for knowledge about our status, almost as desperate as I was to take our physical relationship to the next level.
But I knew that more patience would come before that. Desperation was not an attractive quality in anyone, let alone a man, and I couldn’t ask for any of that without sounding like I was desperate.
“So, I was thinking,” I said as we walked through the lobby. “I may want to pay you for another job.”
I had been formulating this plan I had for weeks. Something I suspected may help her through some of the issues she was currently having with being on the slopes.
“Oh yeah?” she asked. She was grinning from ear to ear, her cheeks post-orgasm rosy.
“Yeah,” I replied. I longed to touch her. Longed to reach out my hand and take hers in mine. “I want you to give the kids some basic ski lessons.”
Haley stopped in her tracks and her face fell. “James. I can barely stand on my own let alone support another person.”
I took a step toward her, careful to avoid any attention before cupping her face. “I believe in you. Just give it a try and if it doesn't work out, then it doesn’t work out. No harm done.”
“Until one of the kids topples over a mountainside,” she said with a grumpy frown.
I couldn’t help but laugh. The sex goddess of ten minutes ago had faded into a cute little grouchy kitten. “Well, if they do, make sure it’s Leann. She’s the one who gives me headaches.”
Haley burst into laughter and started to lean in for another kiss until…
“Hales!” a voice called from behind us. We swiveled to find Anna and Kevin walking toward us. “Surprise! We’re taking you guys out to lunch.”
I saw Anna give Haley a wink and I looked at Kevin, who shrugged.
So I turned back to Haley, who looked doubly embarrassed now, and sighed. “I guess we’re going to lunch.”
Chapter Nineteen
Haley
“That sounds terrifying,” Doctor Harzel said over the phone.
We’d been talking—well, I had been talking—for the last half hour about me falling on the slopes.
“No kidding,” I said, curling my knees up to my chest in bed, where I was sitting as I had my telehealth appointment. “I gotta be honest, I’m getting really tired of reliving that day over and over, especially with the director’s cut endings.”
“I bet,” she replied.
“I mean, I know the odds of an avalanche at a resort like this are super low, and I shouldn’t be so afraid. The fact that I was nearly killed once is like being struck by lightning, right?”
