We drifted to sleep, and I didn’t wake until dawn was cracking open the day and light started peeking in through the window.
I sensed her waking as well. She reached back and stroked my hip, her fingers moving inward until she could wrap them around my cock. I’d been inside her twice during the night, first with her riding me and the second time when she sucked me off as she’d promised.
We’d both won, and I couldn’t be a happier ice lord.
My phone buzzed. I should ignore it. But it could be a message from my family. My parents weren’t young anylonger, and Dad kept insisting he was perfectly safe hiking across glaciers alone. I disagreed.
I rolled onto my back and grabbed my phone off the bedside table, scrolling into it.
“Oh,” I said.
Melly rose up onto her elbow. “Oh?”
“It’s Katar. Sue wasn’t feeling well, and she went to the doctor. She called him to let him know in case we still had questions. She’s worried they’ll admit her to the hospital again.”
“Oh, my gosh.” Melly slid from the bed and tugged on a robe. “Do you think she’ll be okay?”
“We’ll find out.”
“I’ll text her. I want to go see her. I’ll stop by Fairytale Florals before work and buy her some flowers. Carla can cover the shop until I get back. Assuming anyone plans to stop by for ice cream at a place with such a horrible rating.”
“Not everyone reads online reviews.”
“I’ll try some of the strategies I used initially to draw in customers. Free samples. Coupons. Advertising. I haven’t had to do any of that since the first week I opened, but I need good reviews to balance the rest. I hope the PR person has come up with other ideas.”
“I hope so too.” I got up. “Breakfast before you leave?”
“I’d love to, but I need to check on Grannie and set things out for her before I leave.”
I rounded the bed and tugged her into my arms, holding her for one moment. Life was thrusting itself between us, and it would be some time before we could step back into just us once more.
“Do you want to have dinner tonight?” she asked. “I could cook again.”
“Why don’t I get takeout for the three of us from Kraken’s Keep?”
“That sounds wonderful. Four-thirty? Grannie prefers to eat early. She likes to be sitting in the living room with her feet up and her knitting on her lap before it gets dark.”
“Perfect. Any preferences as far as food goes?”
“We like just about anything.”
She stepped backward and grabbed some clothing from her bureau. “What’s on your agenda today?”
“I’m going to question Bob.”
“Fill me in later?”
“Sure. After dinner, we could take another walk on the beach.”
“I’d love that.”
“Last night was special.” I watched her face and was rewarded when she sent me a sultry smile.
“Very special. Um . . .” Her gaze fell. “You could stay again tonight if you want.”
“Oh, yes, I want.” I strode over to her and swept her pretty hair across her shoulder. “I’ll park at the supermarket again and walk over after dark.”
She hugged me quickly before backing away. “No talking about lint tonight.”
