“I told you, you’d like it.”

She giggled. “Cruz, you did not say a thing.”

“Okay, I thought it.”

“You’re adorable, you know that, right?” she asked, tilting her head to look at him.

He winked at her. “I always try to be.”

She laughed. “You do realize you’re known as a grumpy man?”

“Yeah, I know.”

She sighed. They had built their own little happiness that the outside world could not touch. He didn’t want anyone coming in and invading it. This was his and Kate’s. All of it.

He took hold of her hand, and they just lay in the hot water, enjoying the few minutes that it was warm and quiet. All too soon, he knew the snow was going to thaw, and Kate would have to leave, and he was going to miss her.

It had been lucky that he’d asked Kate to stay for dinner, and during that time, her car had gotten completely snowed under. He was being a selfish bastard, and he knew that as well, but he just couldn’t help it. This was how he felt.

Wrapping his arms around her, he pressed his face against her neck and breathed her in. That reality was going to come all too soon, and he didn’t want it. He wanted to keep Kate as his own, forever. The outside world could go and fuck off.

Letting go of her hands, he kissed her shoulder, then moved up toward her neck, and he bit down. Not too hard, just a little so it made her gasp. With his other hand, he cupped her tits, massaging them within his palm, and she arched up against him.

He didn’t linger too long on her tits, as he slid a hand between her thighs and started to tease her clit. She thrust against his hand, and he worked her clit, building up her pleasure. She tilted her head back against his shoulder, and he worked her pussy, but he didn’t want her to come without his cock inside her.

Lifting her up, he moved her so that she was right over his cock, and then he started to thrust forward, and he filled her, inch by inch. Both of them crying out together at the instant hit of pleasure.

He gritted his teeth as he felt himself so close to the peak, and all he’d done was thrust inside her. He was ready to explode, so he gripped her hips and held her close, as he got used to the feel of her warm, wet pussy on his cock. She let out that sexy whimper, and he knew he was in trouble. When it came to Kate, he was always going to be in trouble. He just couldn’t help himself.

“You feel so fucking good,” he said, growling the words against her neck.

She whimpered.

“Touch yourself,” he said.

She reached between her thighs, but she didn’t move fast enough, so he guided her hand right to her pussy, and he pressed her finger against her clit. He felt the moment she touched herself. Not just because his finger was over her nub, but also because her pussy tightened around his dick, and he couldn’t help but grit his teeth at the pleasure. It felt so good, and he didn’t want it to stop.

He was so close to the edge, but he was not going over, not until Kate was there. Cruz heard her soft sounds, and the moan within her throat, and it built to a fever pitch and finally tipped her right over the edge. She tightened around him, and he didn’t know how he was going to be able to handle it, then, with just a few short thrusts, he came inside her, spilling his seed deep into her cunt.

One day, his sperm was going to hit, and then Kate was going to be all his.

Chapter Seven

All good things must come to an end. The snow thawed. Kate had no choice but to take Belle home, and she went straight to the shop first. There had been so many orders overnight. Even though there had been electrical failures, it hadn’t been everywhere, so orders and the website were still active.

She finally got to call Tillie, who was already making her way home, but they got stranded at the airport and figured the bad weather was why they couldn’t talk.

Since she had gotten to the shop, she’d not seen Cruz. Kate didn’t like how it had gone from extreme sex that seemed to be happening multiple times a day, to nothing. She knew he was busy, and the truth was, she hadn’t been able to leave her shop. Between the online orders and people wanting to buy fabric, she was totally swamped. There was no time, which was why, when Tillie walked in less than a week later, it was like being snowed in hadn’t happened. Cruz hadn’t called.

“Hello,” Tillie said.

At the sound of Tillie’s voice, Belle ran out from behind the counter and ran toward Tillie.

Kate watched, and her heart squeezed at the sight of the two, who looked so happy together. They looked like a complete and total dream.

Tillie lifted Belle into her arms, and Kate had to head behind the counter as she had a customer. She served the woman, offering her a smile, and then the shop was completely empty. The orders had already gone out as the postman had come by to pick them up. Now, Kate watched Tillie, and Belle had finally settled down.

“Hey,” Kate said, and this time, she rounded the counter and hugged the other woman.
