“I hear you. I’ll let you know when we leave. Over.” I tell him.
Pocketing the radio, I go back to the couch and sit next to Natalie. Once I’m sitting, she scoots closer and lays her head on my shoulder. We’re quiet for the longest time when I start telling Natalie about my childhood. I tell her stories about my Uncle Hans and everything he taught us when we’d come to visit him.
“It sounds like you had a wonderful childhood. Lots of fond memories.”
“Tell me one of your good memories from when you were little.”
“I didn’t have a lot of good memories from back then.”
“Why not?”
She sighs. “I didn’t have a very good Mom and I never knew my Dad. When I was eight, I was placed in foster care. I was never adopted, probably because I was too old by that time. Things didn’t start to turn around for me until I was twelve and Celeste was sent to the same group home I was at.”
“I’m sorry things sucked when you were younger, but it looks like you found your family in Celeste.”
She smiles. “Yeah, I did, didn’t I?”
“I’m going to check and see what the storm is doing. The wind doesn’t sound as strong as it did before.”
“I’ll come with you.” She says jumping up from the couch.
I turn the heater off just in case we can go, I don’t want to waste any precious time we have to get to safety. The barn will work if absolutely necessary, but all of my supplies like candles, extra blankets, firewood, food, and water are back at my cabin, which is closer than hers is.
Opening the door, I can tell the wind has slowed down, but the snow is still coming down heavily. The last remnants of light are fading fast. We need to get out of here now. I grab a flashlight that’s hanging on a hook near the door and hand it to Natalie. “We’re going to make a run for it. I need you to stay with me. You can’t fall behind. Are you ready?”
She nods. “I think so.”
I look her over and can tell she’s scared. I hate that we aren’t safe yet. She’s also trembling from the cold and her lips are turning blue. We need to get out of this storm and somewhere we can keep warm.
Placing my hands on her cheeks I look her in the eyes. “We are going to be okay. I promise you Florida girl, I won’t let anything happen to you. Now, are you ready?”
With a bit more determination in her eyes, she smiles. “I’m ready Georgia boy.”
I roll my eyes and she laughs. Grabbing her hand, I open the door and quickly shut it once we’re out. We begin our trek through the heavily falling snow. Neither of us are dressed for this kind of weather, which makes getting through the almost foot of snow that is now covering the ground more difficult.
Natalie shines the flashlight ahead of us while I lead us back to my cabin. At least I hope I’m leading us there. It’s so hard to see that I’m not a hundred percent sure we’re going in the right direction. After stumbling through the snow for a while the wind starts to pick up. With the plummeting temperatures, strong winds, and lots of snow, the walk back to my cabin takes what feels like an hour when normally it would take five minutes. Hell, we could have gotten lost or maybe it’s that time doesn’t feel the same as it does usually.
I could almost cry when I see my cabin come into view. Natalie starts walking faster now that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. We make it to stairs that lead up to my porch and Natalie slips on one of the icy steps.
“Come on sweetheart, we’re almost there,” I tell her after pulling her to her feet.
Grabbing my keys from my pocket, I fumble with the lock but on the fourth try am able to push the key into the lock to unlock the door.
As soon as the door is open, I guide Natalie inside and push the door shut behind me and lock it.
Chapter Five
Natalie
Shit. I am beyond freezing right now. The snow has seeped into my bones.
“We need to get undressed. The clothes are wet. We need to get warm.” Klaus tells me in short sentences. He strips out of his jacket and boots then goes to the fireplace and immediately starts building a fire. He’s like a machine.
I do what he says and strip down to my panties and bra, not caring what he sees or doesn’t see. This isn’t sexy time, this is survival. Finding a blanket on the couch I wrap it around my shoulders to keep warm then curl into the corner of the couch into a little ball watching Klaus. After a few tries, he gets the fire started. I watch the red flame as it starts to grow, catching onto the logs stacked just right for the optimal fire.
I don’t realize it, but Klaus has stripped down to his underwear and is standing in front of the fire. The bright light from the fire frames his body. The man looks like a God. He’s gorgeous. “Natalie come over here. You need to get warm.” Klaus commands.
Even though I’m tired, I get to my feet and walk to stand in front of the fire. Klaus kisses my head. “I’ll be right back Sweetheart.” He says and then he’s gone.
I don’t know how the man can form sentences right now. My teeth are chattering so bad I can’t get them to stop. A couple of minutes pass and Klaus comes back carrying a comforter and pillows.
“Help me lay this out in front of the fire.”
We work silently, building a pallet in front of the fire. Klaus leaves and returns a few times, each time bring back blankets for our makeshift bed. The next time he returns he’s carrying a pair of socks.
“Sit down on the couch.” He tells me and I listen. At this point, I’ll do anything he tells me to. Once I’m sitting, he grabs one of my feet and slides on a wool sock, then grabs my other foot and does the same. “Get under the covers. I’ll be back in a minute.”
I assume he’s going back for clothes, but instead, he has candles that he places around the living room area. The next time he leaves and comes back he’s carrying two bottles of water. He drops to his knees in front of me and opens one of the bottles. “Drink this.”
I sit up and he lifts the open bottle to my lips. I drink almost half of the bottle then hand it back to him when I’m finished. I didn’t even realize I was thirsty. He drinks the rest of the water in the bottle then sets both the empty and unopened bottle out of the way. Standing on his knees, he stares down at me. The looks he’s giving me sends sparks of awareness down my back and through my body. I open the blankets to let him in. Once he’s laying down, he pulls my body to his, my back to his front and we watch the fire burn.
The longer we’re under the covers, with our bodies pressed together my teeth slow down on the chattering. Klaus’s hand is pressed against my stomach and his fingers are running soothing circles into my skin. It doesn’t take long before I fall fast asleep.
When I wake it’s pitch black outside and the logs in the fireplace glow red. I’m warm, almost too warm, but I don’t want to move away from Klaus. There’s also the fact that his dick is hard and is digging into my ass as he sleeps soundly behind me. Now is not the right time to be getting turned on, but after the last two days, I can’t help myself. I try shifting away, but Klaus pulls me back, snug against his chest, his hard cock pressing a little closer to my opening than before.
I try to steady my breathing. If I move away I risk waking him up or him just pulling me closer. I won’t be able to sleep with his hard dick pressing against my pussy, teasing me with something I want desperately. Reaching behind me, I try moving his dick so it’s in a different position, but when I do Klaus moves closer and I inadvertently stroke his cock over his briefs. Unconsciously, he thrusts his cock against my hand. My pussy tingles, aching for relief that only he can bring me.
I need to get myself under control. I tell myself to go back to sleep, but I can’t get comfortable. Deciding to take my bra off, I quickly undo the clasps in the back and pull it off, tossing to the side. At this point, I don’t care.
The next time I wake a warm hand is massaging my breast, as lips kiss and suck at my neck and down my shoulder. My pussy is already wet and pulsing with need. I shift m
y legs, trying to alleviate the ache. It doesn’t work. I’m needier now more than before. His hand leaves my breast and travels down my stomach and dips into my panties. If this is a dream, I don’t ever want to wake up.
Sucking my earlobe into his mouth he groans when he plunges two fingers into my pussy. “Fuck sweetheart, that’s a tight pussy.”
He sighs against my ear and I shiver. He takes his time, fucking me slowly with his fingers. When he circles my clit then pinches it between his fingers, I fly apart screaming his name.
Klaus rips my panties at the sides and pulls them out of the way. “Tell me you want me to fuck you, Natalie. Tell me.” He growls.
I lift my leg and drape it over the back of his thigh. “Fuck me.” I moan.
Klaus positions his dick at my entrance and plunges in deep until every inch of him is buried inside me.
“Jesus Christ. Fuck.” He growls. Holding my leg with one of his hands as he thrusts in and out of me, hitting me deeply, finding a spot no other guy ever has before.
Over and over he takes me, owning my body like I know he’ll own my heart. I can’t tell you how I know. It doesn’t make sense. He slides his fingers down my pussy and strokes my clit as he moves faster and deeper inside me. Any minute he’s going to come and take me with him.
“I’m about to come and I’m not pulling out of this perfect pussy. I’m going to fill you full of my cum. Then I’m going to make love to you again and again until all your body knows is the shape of my dick and the feel of my cum.”
“Yesss.” I moan.
Klaus thrusts into me three more times then he explodes inside me, filling my body full of his hot cum. Just knowing he’s filling me up is enough to set off my own orgasm. An orgasm so intense I blackout for a few seconds before coming to. When I open my eyes, Klaus is leaning over me with a smile on his handsome face. “You’re mine now Florida girl.”
“Why don’t you prove it Georgia boy?”
And he does, over and over again into the early morning and late into the next day.
Epilogue
Klaus
It’s been seven years and I love my wife Natalie more each and every day. Who knew you could find love in the middle of a snowstorm? Santa must have worked his magic to give us the best gift of all. Two days without power lead to the best thing that ever happened to me. Sure, we made love the entire time, but in between lovemaking, eating, and hydrating, we talked about everything and anything.
Once the storm died down, we were able to venture out of my cabin and back to her place to check on Eull and Celeste. We probably should have waited a little bit longer because when we found them, they weren’t exactly ready for company. The power was out for another day and a half, but we survived just like we had the first two days.
I didn’t want Natalie to leave but she insisted she had to finish out the year with her students. As much as I didn’t want to be without her for the next six months, I knew this was something she had to do. Then in early February, everything changed when we found out she was pregnant. Natalie gave her two-week notice and packed up her apartment sooner than she had planned. She still wanted to finish out the year, but I told her I couldn’t be away from her for that long while she was carrying our child. I didn’t want to miss the pregnancy and needed to be there for her in case anything happened.
Our resort was doing well and remained busy every weekend. Natalie and Celeste came up with the idea to turn the main office into a bed and breakfast since it was one of our biggest cabins. Eull and I agreed that it would be a great idea and put the girls in charge. We opened the bed and breakfast Memorial Day weekend with every room rented out. It was a big hit.
Natalie and Celeste run the bed and breakfast to this day. They absolutely love it. We had to hire a couple of people to help take care of things while we aren’t available, mostly nights and weekends.
Our son Finn was born, and Natalie took to motherhood so easily. I know she was nervous about it, but I think that’s what makes her such a great mom. She wants nothing more than to make sure her child is loved and taken care of. A couple of years later she gave birth to our daughter Emilia. That girl is the light of our lives and the center of our family. Don’t get me wrong, we love our children equally, but Emilia is so happy all the time. She’s always singing and dancing doing whatever she can to make her family happy. Finn is already so protective over his little sister.
