Until the sound of heavy machinery in the distance reminded her that she had taken refuge in an abandoned gas station during a lethally fierce blizzard.
She opened her eyes and sat up quickly. “What’s that?”
Kendrick stroked her hair, smiling lazily as if he didn’t have a care in the world. “Just Isaiah using the plow to clear off a space. The storm is over. The sun is actually out. But it’ll be a while before it gets above freezing out here. So, that snow isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.”
She laid her head back on his chest, sighing contentedly at the feeling of his strong muscles poking back against her skin. “I almost thought I’d wake up to find myself all alone.”
“You think I’d ever leave you?”
She shook her head. “That it was a dream. As in, you didn’t really rescue me last night. But you did. You saved me.”
“I’ll always come for you, my love. Don’t ever forget that. Not that you’ll be in a situation like this again. Because I’m not letting you out of my sight for a while. I could have lost you!”
She didn’t speak for a moment, satisfied to just be held by Daddy.
Her legs spread apart as she shifted on him. A heat radiated off of her. She wanted him so freaking bad she couldn’t stand it!
She ached for him, even.
He must have been thinking the same thing, because he said, “You know, our first time can’t be in this ratty-ass gas station. Right?”
She threw her head back and laughed. “I guess not.”
“Even though we do have plenty of time. Isaiah will be driving that plow for a while.”
“Even though,” she agreed with a nod.
His arms grew tighter around her. She spread her legs even more, grinding against him. His rock-hard member protruded from the gray sweatpants he was wearing, jabbing at her.
“Now, it is true,” he continued, “that certain activities generate heat. And it is mighty cold.”
That wasn’t technically true, she thought. It might have been coldoutside, but that special blanket they were under kept them nice and toasty.
Or perhaps it was the desire that swirled between them.
Either way, it wasn’t cold by a long shot.
Samantha wasn’t about to tell him that, though.
She was even willing to bend the truth just a little bit. One more time.
“I really need to heat up, Daddy.”
“I know, honey. But again, it can’t be here. Not like this.” He slid out from under her, turned, and walked toward the door. “I should go check on Isaiah.” He stomped into his boots.
Even though he couldn’t see it, she stuck her lips out to pout. Watching him until he’d stepped out of the room, she sat up, crossed her arms, and huffed.
She’d waited this long. What was a while longer?
The plow’s motor droned on outside. A few minutes passed before Kendrick reappeared in the doorway, shocking her.
He was completely naked except for his boots.
His body was so strong and jagged. The abs perfectly formed. Those shoulders like small boulders.
“Ignore what I said before. The place doesn’t matter. It’s always special when two people who love each other come together.”
She laughed as he ran to the mattress and dove on. Thankfully, it didn’t pop as he bounced atop it and reached for her.
