He turned to face her and she quickly pulled the blanket over her breasts but not before he caught a glimpse of her creamy white skin with dark nipples that were tantalizingly peaked. Jesus. That was not helping. He cleared his throat. “Allegra, it’s not going to work. I can’t relax. I’m worried about the gunmen and the storm. I’ve got to figure out the best way out of here.” Not to mention being totally distracted by her hotness. “There’s just… a lot. You’re not going to be able to get me to relax.”
“Do you think they’ll come for us in the next two or three hours?”
He frowned. “Why?”
“Just answer the question.”
“No. I think the storm is too bad. It’s after midnight. They’ll start up the mountain around dawn if they have enough people, but more likely they’ll stake out any road leading into town and wait for us to come to them.”
“Good. So we have a few hours reprieve.”
He grudgingly nodded.
She stared at him, eyes narrowed. Assessing something. “Let’s have sex.”
His body clenched. “What?” He couldn’t have heard her right.
Allegra cocked her head. “You need to relax and I…I need…something. Something to hold on to. Almost dying has left me feeling…lost somehow. I want to hold on to you.”
“You’re crazy.” He stood up.
“No, I’m not. This isn’t me freaking out. Do I look like I’m in shock or hysterical?”
He stared into her deep green eyes. Damn it, she looked completely calm. Calculating even. Way to suck the fun out of things. It was like being part of a science experiment. “You don’t look like you’re losing it, but it’s still not a good idea. The gunman could—”
“You said they wouldn’t come for a few hours at least. Besides, can you think of another way to get your shoulder down and relaxed? Is there something else we could do that would keep us warm?”
He let out a long breath. “You don’t know what you’re asking.”
She stood and gathered the blankets around herself. “Yes, I do.”
This was a bad, bad idea. He closed the distance between them until he was inches from her. “You don’t want to do this.” His voice was gritty, rough.
He hadn’t been with anyone since the accident. He was afraid once he started, he’d be unable to control himself. It would be rough and demanding.
“I do, actually. I need a release. I’m totally fucking stressed out and you just told me chances are good I’m gonna die in a few hours so fucking a hot guy seems like a great idea.”
“And if we live? Are you going to freak out afterward?” Jesus, why was he trying to talk her out of this?
“Seriously? That’s your worry? If we fucking live I have a company to save and a career to salvage. You’ll be in my rear-view mirror as soon as we’re clear of this mess.”
He stared at her. That should’ve made him feel better but somehow it didn’t. If anything, it pissed him off more. This woman was throwing herself at him, offering him the answer to his shoulder issue and to his blue balls and he was pissed off by it. Maybe the issue wasn’t her. What the fuck was wrong with him?
He grabbed Allegra’s head and buried his fingers in her hair as he dropped his mouth to hers in a punishing kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and opened her mouth. Their tongues slid against one another. She tasted like heaven.
Xavier ran one hand down her back to grip her ass and pull her closer. He wanted her naked against his skin. She'd been right. He needed a release from the stress and pressure of the plane crash but also, he needed to be touched. No one had touched him in this way since before the helicopter crash. He'd had no idea how much he missed the warmth of another’s hand. Losing Jamie had caused him such pain, he’d instinctively held himself back from this type of interaction. They were brothers as far as he was concerned, and the loss of his best friend had been devastating.
He deepened the kiss, his tongue sliding along hers, demanding more. He felt a spark in the pit of his stomach as they explored each other's mouths with their tongues. His cock was hard, he needed her to relieve some of the tension in his body.
He broke the kiss and moved his lips to the side of her neck, licking and nipping at the soft skin there. She moaned and gripped his shoulders as she tilted her head to give him better access.
She captured his gaze and let the blanket fall. She was stunning. Full breasts just begging to be sucked and fondled. The curve of her hip fit his hand perfectly. He ran his hands over her, exploring her body and then cupping her ass. As he squeezed, she pushed her hips closer to his, her hot center came in contact with his erection. The heat was intense even through his jeans.
He worried he would come quickly if he didn’t slow this down. It had been too long and he was too hard to wait, but he wanted to savor this moment, to remember it. It was as if he'd been dead and Allegra was breathing life back into him. The feel of her body touching his accelerated his heart rate. Drawing a breath was becoming hard as his mind played the possibilities of what was to come.
"Xavier,” she moaned, “I want to feel you inside me. I don't want to wait."
He wanted that too. So damn much that he knew it would be over too soon. "Turn around, face the fireplace and step up on the hearth." His voice was a growl, and she opened her eyes to see him. She took a step back. His stomach tightened in anticipation. Would she listen to him? Would she let him take total control? She slowly turned, her body shivering in the cold.
