“My love, I’ll work until my dying breath to save them both.”
“I love you,” she whispered.
“Ti amo, stella. See you soon.”
Filled with resolve, I gazed out the window, ready to hold my wife and put this terrible chapter behind me once and for all.
Chapter 14
Nick
Iawoke to the sound of chattering teeth and the feel of cold air against my bare chest. Glancing at the fire, I noted it was almost out. Rising, I threw some more logs in before returning to the mattress.
Alexis was curled into a ball, shivering as her teeth chattered. Spooning her, I wrapped my arm and leg around her and pulled her into my body.
“Shh...” I soothed as she gave a little whimper. “I’ve got you.”
“So...cold...” she said through her teeth.
“I just put more logs on. It will warm up soon.”
She pressed back into my chest, and I knew stopping my erection was pointless. After all, it was morning, and I had a beautiful woman in my arms. Closing my eyes, I allowed myself to enjoy the feel of her plump little ass against my cock through our clothes.
She eventually stopped shivering and slowly turned to face me. Grinning, she cupped my cheek. “Thanks. I don’t do well in the cold.”
“That doesn’t bode well for when we hike out of here in knee-deep snow.”
Her throat bobbed as she swallowed. “I’ll do my best. I want to go home.”
I nodded, thankful some color had returned to her cheeks. “Part of me wants to hike back to cell service alone so you can stay here with the fire, but if John’s men come and I’m not here...” I shook my head on the pillow. “I just can’t risk it. I need to keep you with me.”
“My protector.” She slowly ran her hand down my chest. Her fingers trailed over my navel, causing the muscles underneath to quiver, before she slipped them under my waistband.
“Alexis...” I warned.
“What?” she asked, feigned innocence on her gorgeous features. “You’re so...tense. Let me warmyouup now.”
“It’s morning,” I said through gritted teeth. “That’s pretty standard.”
Her hand slipped inside my underwear, and those soft fingers gently encircled my cock.
“Oh, yes...” she whispered, licking those sexy lips. “Let me help you with this...”
My breathing grew heavy as I inwardly admitted I didn’t have the strength to deny having those silken fingers around my dick. Giving into my unchecked need for her, I pushed into her hand.
Her eyes lit with pleasure as she began to stroke me. Her fingers moved in long, tight strokes, and I closed my eyes, knowing I was going straight to hell, but feeling too overwhelmed with desire to give a damn.
My hips undulated into her hand, and our breathing grew ragged as we gazed into each other’s eyes. Reaching down, I grasped her wrist and brought her hand to my mouth. I spit in her palm before lowering her hand back to my cock.
“That’s so hot...” she breathed, her motions quicker now that her palm was slick. “Does it feel good?”
Pressing my forehead to hers, I grinned. “It feels too fucking good,” I rasped. “I love having your pretty hand around my cock, Alexis.”
Her smile was stunning as she increased the pace. “I want to make you come.”
“Keep going and you will,” I commanded softly.
I pumped my hips into her sultry strokes, feeling my balls tighten as I clenched my eyes shut.
