His hand found mine and our fingers intertwined as my head spun with lust and relief.
“I missed you, Abby,” he said into my skin.
“I missed this,” I said. “Because—damn. What that cock of yours can do.”
I turned my head to the side and winked at him as a chuckle fell from his lips. It rumbled my ribcage and clenched my pussy, and he hissed at the reaction before he slowly pulled out. I felt empty without him. I felt like we were drifting apart, even though he was still on top of me.
I squeezed his hand before he slid off to the side and felt him thread his arms around my waist.
“Come here,” he said.
“Gladly.”
I snuggled my body back into him as the two of us maneuvered away from the mess we had created. Our bodies were soaked and bubbles were still popping against our skin, but I didn’t care. Colin pulled the covers up over our bodies as I settled against the strength of his muscles, the softness of his skin, and the comfort of his presence.
The last thing I remembered before I fell asleep was Colin kissing my shoulder.
The place where he’d marked me as his own before he filled me with his passion.
Chapter 7
Colin
I stretched in bed and felt a body move up against mine. I drew in a long breath through my nose as something shifted in between my legs. Something warm pressed up against my chest before I felt the sweet breaths of a woman’s lips against my skin. My eyes opened and took in the stillness of the night time sky, my body relaxed in the motel bed against the woman I’d thought about for weeks.
Abby’s body was soft and sweet. Her cheek was pressed against my skin and her leg was threaded through mine. Her hair was spread out everywhere as her tan skin shone with the healthy glow of our activities the prior evening.
I grinned as my eyes took in her naked body wrapped around mine.
I rolled over and felt her body move with me. Her arm was slung over my waist, holding me close as I grabbed at my phone. It was a little past five in the morning, the sun still sleeping as my body slowly tugged me awake. But there was something else that struck me as odd. Something else that seemed out of place.
The weather outside was completely still.
Reluctantly, I pulled away from Abby’s naked body. She curled up into bed and rolled herself up in the comforter as I slid into my pajama pants. I stood at the window and looked out into the darkened territory of Iowa, and I smiled. There was no wind or snow. There was no ice slamming against the window or traffic clogging up the roads. Visibility was clear and the sky wasn’t covered with gray clouds, and I felt a surge of hope well in my chest.
We’ll be able to make it to Wichita today.
“Abby, wake up,” I said.
She answered me with a resounding groan before she rolled over in bed.
“Abby, come on. The weather’s let up.”
“Good for it,” she said.
I turned around and saw her splayed out on the bed. Her arms were outstretched and her legs were tangled up in the sheets. Her dark brown hair was cascading over the fluffy pillows and her bosom was bouncing against her body. I could feel my pelvis churning for her as my eyes fell onto her darkened nipples. They were sitting there, like succulent appetizers ready to be devoured. The magnetism of her body pulled me back to the bed, forcing me to sit on the edge before I reached out for her.
I slid my fingers down her smooth arm, watching as goosebumps trailed my every move.
“You gotta wake up for me,” I said.
“We’re like, what, six hours from Wichita? We can wait until the sun comes up,” she said.
“We need to get on the road. I need to get to this conference,” I said.
“You’re not the only person on this trip, you know.”
“I’ll buy you the hottest, most potent cup of coffee this town has to offer.”
“I’m not getting out of bed,” she said.
“Well, you don’t have a choice. We need to get going.”
Why in the world was she being so stubborn? It wasn’t like she wasn’t up. She was talking to me in a clear voice and her eyes were almost open. She was just being lazy, and I didn’t enjoy lazy.
Especially when it held me back.
I got up and started getting ready around her. I hopped into the shower and took a quick one before I shaved my face. She was still lying in bed by the time I went to go put another suit on, so I decided I was going to have to be a dick. If she didn’t want to get up on her own, I’d have to resort to doing things to get her out of bed.
Like ripping the covers off her body.
“Hey! I’m fucking naked!” she said.
“That didn’t matter to you last night. Come on. I’m checking us out in thirty minutes.”
“You’re such an asshole, you know that?” she asked.
She threw me a death glare before she wrapped herself up in the sheet. She pulled it from the bed and slowly shuffled into the bathroom, and that was when I heard the shower turn on. The room quickly flooded with steam as she tanked through the rest of the hot water, and I took that time to go take the keys to the front office.
By the time I got back, she was clothed and drying her hair off.
“I’m sorry,” I
