Page 15 of Trapped in the Christmas Cabin
“What?”Klausfrowned.Itwas hard enough to resist the curvy little human when the two of them were fully clothed.He’dalready gone further than he should, kissing her to get the front door of this damn cabin open.Andnow they had to get naked together?Howin theSevenHellswas he going to manage this without getting a massive hard-on?
“Iknow—it’s embarrassing.Likereallyembarrassing.”Kelli’scheeks were bright pink.“Butlook at you—you’re freezing.AndI’mpretty cold too, now thatIgot wet.Notto mention my hands are still like ice from digging in the snow.”Sheshivered.
“Soyou’re saying you really want to get naked and take a shower together?”Klausraised his eyebrows at her.
“Imean…if it’s the only way to warm up…”Shetrailed off, looking embarrassed.“Itshould be easy for you—you’re so big and muscular and buff.I’mthe one who’s not exactly thin, you know.”
“Hey…”Klausreached out to cup her flushed cheek in his hand.“You’refucking gorgeous, baby,” he told her.“You’reanElite—do you know what that means?”
Kellishook her head.
“I’veheard someKindredwarriors aboard theMotherShipmention it, butIwasn’t sure what they meant by it.”
“Itmeans a woman theGoddesshas blessed with extra full curves,”Klaustold her.
“Andyou thinkI’mElite?”Shegave a little laugh.“Becausemy ex,Mitch, just used to call me ‘fat.’Well, not fat exactly—he mostly said ‘pleasingly plump’ but the way he said it…”
“Hesounds like an asshole,”Klausgrowled.Hehated the idea of anyone hurting her—Kelliwashis toprotect.Hemade a mental note to pay her ex a visit, the next time they were onEarth.Someretribution might be in order.
“Well, hedidcheat on me.”Kellisighed.“Itry not to let it bother me and to be honest,Iwas glad to get away from him.”Shegave him a tremulous smile.“Ifwe hadn’t gotten a divorce,Inever would have come up to theMotherShip, you know?Butof course ifIhadn’t, then we wouldn’t be standing here talking about taking a shower together whichIknow isreallyawkward.”
Lookat me…”Klauslifted her chin until she raised her eyes.
“It’snot thatIdon’t want to see you naked—becauseIdo,”he confessed, his voice going slightly hoarse.“I’vethought about it before, even thoughIknewIshouldn’t.”
“Youhave?”Herbig gray eyes widened.
“Hellyes, sunshine!WeKindredlove curvy females and you’re curvy in all the right places.”Helet his eyes roam up and down her body, lingering on her breasts which he knew were bare under the green dress she wore.Hecould see the tight points of her nipples poking at the fabric and wondered what they would look like with nothing covering them.
“Klaus, you’re making me blush!”she exclaimed, but he noticed she didn’t try to hide her breasts.Infact, she stood up a little straighter and pushed her chest out, making the fabric over her nipples tighten even more.
“Sorry, baby—just telling it like it is,” he said.“I’mjust saying that getting naked with you doesn’t bother me—Ijust thought it might bother you because you’re shy.Andsince we’re coworkers, we probably shouldn’t be, you know, getting into it with each other.”
“You’reright—we shouldn’t.”Kellinibbled her lower lip.“Maybe…maybe we could keep our eyes closed,” she suggested tentatively.“Andjust kind of keep to opposite sides of the shower stall.Thewater seems to rain down from the ceiling and cover the entire area, so it’s not like either of us would be out in the cold.”
“Goodidea.”Klausnodded.Itwould definitely be easier to keep his hands to himself if he wasn’t looking, he decided.
“Okay, then let’s do it.”Kellishivered again.“I’mgettingreallycold.Italmost feels like the temperature has dropped in here.”Sherubbed her hands up and down her arms briskly, trying to warm up.
Actually,Klausthought she might be right.Ithadgotten colder in the fresher since they’d started talking.Hisskin felt like it was about to freeze right the fuck off his body!
“Let’smake it quick then,” he said.“I’lltake off my blanket, get in the stall, and turn my back to you.Thenyou get undressed and climb in behind me.”
“Gotit.”Shenodded.
“Allright—here goes.”
Klausdropped the blanket and stepped into the stall.

KELLI
Kelliknew she shouldn’t look.Butdamn, did herProtectorhave a fine, tight ass!Shehad always admired a man with a nice backside andKlaushad the nicest one she’d ever seen.Hisbroad, muscular back, wide shoulders, and long legs were easy on the eyes too.Andsince he was facing the shower wall, she felt free to stare at him while she stripped.
Can’tbelieveI’mdoing this!she thought as she shrugged out of the green elf dress and hung it and the striped stockings on a hook on the back of the door.Can’tbelieveI’mactually going to take a shower with him!
Butshe wasn’t nearly as anxious as she would have been if they hadn’t had their little talk about “Elites.”Kellistill wished she was thinner, but it was nice to know that herProtectoractually liked her curves.Itmade her feel more confident—in fact, it made her feel downright sexy.
