Swinging her up so she could wrap her legs around his waist, he took her with a deep thrust. No foreplay, none needed. An exclamation of shocked delight flew from her throat. Nothing had ever felt this good. She was more than ready for him, and Luc was so caring, so careful of his size and her much smaller body. He held her as if she weighed nothing, and pounded into her until she could do no more than hang suspended in his arms. ‘So good… I need this…’
‘Me too,’ Lucas admitted in an edgy growl.
‘Harder! Faster!’ They were wild for each other. She couldn’t get enough. How could she ever live without this…without him?
‘Again,’ she insisted throatily when the first bout of pleasure started to fade. ‘I need more.’
Luc laughed. ‘Me too,’ he assured her.
‘Yes!’ she hissed in triumph as he thrust rhythmically the way she liked.
‘How strong are you?’ she said some time later. ‘Don’t your arms ache?’
‘I hadn’t even thought about it. I was somewhat distracted.’
‘And now?’
‘And now…I want to have you in the snow.’
Beneath a bright blue sky with snow hillocks all around them, they made love again, and this time when Luc pinned her arms above her head, they stared into each other’s eyes, and saw more than the fever of passion.
‘I guess we’d better get to work,’ he said reluctantly some time later.
‘I guess we better had,’ she agreed.
Arranging their clothes took less than a few seconds, and soon they were attacking the snow with real gusto.
‘Something wrong?’ she asked Luc, shooting a glance his way when he stopped shovelling and leaned on the handle. ‘Have I exhausted you?’
He huffed a laugh and gathered her close. ‘What do you think?’
‘I think you’re facing a decision between clearing the path, and visiting that sauna over there.’
‘Could be,’ he confirmed with a grin.
‘Let’s investigate. I don’t want to leave you in agony.’
Planting their shovels, they ran to the sauna. Closing the door, they stripped off each other’s clothes. The small log cabin was already warm, but Luc raised the temperature even more, both with water on the embers and with his unique take on lovemaking on scorching wooden benches. ‘We have to be quick,’ he explained, laughing against her mouth.
‘I can be quick.’
‘When you want to,’ he agreed.
‘I like to make you work.’
‘I noticed.’
His grin was infectious, a slash of strong white teeth against his deep tan and sharp black stubble. There was only one problem. Their enthusiasm combined with the extreme heat inside the sauna sent the logistics of sex haywire. ‘I’m sliding off you!’
‘Time to cool down,’ Luc agreed.
Who knew they could be so close? There was a lot of laughter involved as he carried her outside and dumped her in the snow, where they proved conclusively that heating up before rolling in ice crystals was a great aphrodisiac. Luc’s strength and potency was glaring her in the face. His naked body, challenging the elements, had never looked more magnificent. ‘On top of me,’ he instructed, arranging her so she could mount him. ‘Can’t risk you catching cold.’
‘No chance of that!’ She gasped out her pleasure as he entered her in one thrust, and when she was quiet again and snuggled into his chest, she remarked groggily, ‘No wonder this caught on.’
‘Making love in the snow?’
‘The whole sauna thing.’ Had they ever been so close? she wondered.
