“I want to,” I replied, too quickly. “I mean... if that’s what you want.”
He smiled, that genuine one that made his eyes crinkle at the corners. “I wouldn’t have asked if I didn’t want you to.”
I slid under the covers, watching as Diego turned off the lights, leaving only the soft glow from the parking lot filtering through the curtains. I could see the snow still falling, heavier now than it had been. The bed dipped as Diego joined me, his body radiating heat as he settled beside me.
For a moment, we just lay there, not touching, the air between us charged with something I couldn’t name. And then, with a sudden burst of bravery, I slid closer, pressing my back against his chest. Diego let out a small, contented noise, wrapped his arm around me, and pulled me close to him. His cock was already thickening against my ass once more.
“Goodnight, Freckles,” he whispered, kissing the back of my neck.
“Goodnight, Diego,” I replied, wondering if everything I’d just experienced was a dream.
Only tomorrow would tell.
Chapter 15
Diego
“You did this on purpose, didn’t you?” I barked the moment Lucas picked up the other end of the line. “You conniving asshole.”
“Hi Diego,” he sing-songed back, his voice far more chipper than it should’ve been. “How’s the snow?”
“Three inches deep and getting deeper,” I snapped.
“Huh, I would’ve guessed it would be more.” I could almost hear him waggling his eyebrows. “Are you enjoying yourextremely expensivehotel room? Did you take the biggest one just to get back at me?”
“It was the only one left.”
“Must be a nice room for that price.”
“It…” I paused, pinching the bridge of my nose and wondering if I should tell him the truth. “It’s… themaritalsuite.”
I could hear Lucas cackling on the other end of the line.
“The marital suite? Oh my god, this is better than I could’ve planned. Tell me everything! Does it have rose petals? A heart-shaped bed? One of those ceiling mirrors?”
“Yes to the rose petals, no to the heart-shaped bed, and thankfully no mirrors on the ceiling,” I grumbled, pacing the length of theroom while keeping my voice low. Hayden was in the bathroom, and I didn’t want him to hear me complaining. Not after last night. Not after everything changed between us.
“And where is our dear Hayden right now?” Lucas asked, his voice dripping with suggestion.
I glanced toward the bathroom door where I could hear the shower running. “Taking a shower.”
“And you’re not in there with him? I’m disappointed, Diego.”
“We already did that part,” I said before I could stop myself.
The shriek that came through the phone was so loud I had to hold it away from my ear. “I KNEW IT! Beau! BEAU! Get in here! Diego finally made his move on Hayden!”
“Jesus Christ, Lucas, can you not announce it to the entire ranch?” I hissed, feeling my face heat up. “And I didn’t make a move. It just... happened.”
“Things like that don’tjust happen, darling. It’s chemistry, plain and simple. So, tell me, how was it? Is he as uptight in bed as he is in real life? Did you rock his world? Did he rock yours?”
“I’m not giving you details,” I said firmly, though I couldn’t help the smile that crept onto my face at the memory of Hayden covering the both of us in cum. “But it was... nice.”
“Nice?” Lucas scoffed. “If all you can say isnice, then you clearly didn’t do it right.”
I rolled my eyes, even though he couldn’t see me. “It was more than nice, okay? It was fucking amazing. But that’s all you’re getting out of me.”
“Fine, be that way. But I want you to know that I’m taking full credit for this. If I hadn’t arranged for you two to get snowed in together?—”
