Second Snowfall (Elton Hall Chronicles Book 2)

by Sarah Fischer

  “Um, okay.” Kingsley took a step back, raising his arms in surrender.

  “You said this was your favorite room because it has a lock. Does that mean you’ve been, uh, you’ve been in this situation before?”

  “No, but the thought has crossed my mind. You’re the only girl I’ve wanted to bring back here.”

  I smiled and pulled him back toward me. As he leaned into me, I tried to let go of all the fear and trepidations flowing through my mind. I wrapped my arms around his neck and Kingsley held me close to him.

  I broke the kiss and pushed him away slightly. “Just wait a second. I have something to show you.” I slid my jacket off and let it fall to the floor, kicking it to the side.

  “What are you doing?” he asked, and raised his eyebrows at me.

  “Don’t say anything or I’m going to lose my nerve.”

  He nodded and waited for me to continue. I gradually started to unbutton my sweater dress, sliding it off my shoulders after undoing the last button. Then I reached for my leggings and slid them off, throwing both of them on top of my jacket. I stood there in front of him in the sexy lingerie I’d bought earlier, nervously waiting for his response.

  “You are the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen, and that includes the chicks in porn.”

  “I bought this with you in mind.”

  “And you actually just got sexier.” Kingsley pushed me up against the door. He kissed me hard and delved into my mouth. His hand slid up my naked torso and caressed my breast. As he circled my nipple, I let out a moan. His hands felt amazing and I arched my back, pushing my chest into him, trying to give him better access.

  He kissed down my neck, along my chest, but stopped at the top of my bra. Lightly kissing the sensitive skin that only he had touched, softly grazing the lace at the top of the cup. I ran my fingers down his chest and felt his definitive muscles, but his shirt was still on so I reached my hands under it, afraid to break the kiss and have him remove it. Kingsley growled a little and bit my lower lip. My head fell back and hit the door lightly as I basked in the feeling of anticipation flowing through me. I decided it was time to step it up a notch.

  It must have been the lingerie, but I was completely comfortable with this decision and I actually wanted to push forward. I lifted my leg up and he grabbed ahold my upper thigh. Kingsley broke the kiss and took a deep, ragged breath.

  “I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but I like this girl.”

  “It’s the underwear,” I insisted, and gave him what I thought was a seductive look.

  He must have bought it because he cupped my butt and nibbled on my ear. “Then I’ll buy you a set for every day of the week.” Kinsley ran his hand from my butt to my knee and then back up, digging his fingers into me. I groaned and moved his other hand to my ass, encouraging him to grab ahold of it.

  As he squeezed my ass, he lifted me up at the same time. I wrapped my legs around his waist, terrified I was going to fall. As if he could read my mind he said, “Don’t worry, babe, I’ve got you. I lift hoses that weigh a lot more than you.”

  He kissed me hard, his tongue exploring my mouth, and I tried to take control. I thought maybe it would keep me from changing my mind. He quickly shut that down.

  Breaking the kiss, he looked at me and gave me a sexy but sinister look. “Let me do this. Give me the control.”

  I bit my lip a second time and then nodded. I was willing to do this his way mostly because I didn’t really know what he was doing. He dropped his head to kiss my breast. He reached for my shoulders and slid my bra straps down so that he could grab my bare breast. As he stroked one nipple with his hand, he teased the other through my bra with his tongue.

  I started to shift a little as I was uncomfortable. The sensation between my legs was practically burning and I craved more. I needed to get closer to him but he seemed to want to go slowly. This was not going to work for me.

  “Kingsley, I want more,” I begged him as I grabbed his shirt and yanked him closer to me.

  “Whatever you want.” He reached down and brushed the panties to the side. I took a deep breath as I felt him slide his finger inside me. It was the first time I’d let a guy near me but I wanted this. Hell, it felt so good I didn’t know why I’d waited so long.

  He slipped in and out of me with one finger at first and I felt a tightening inside me. It was amazing and I moaned louder and gripped his shoulders tighter. It still wasn’t enough. I dug my nails into Kingsley’s back and he let out a gasp.

  “I can do better,” he assured me as he inserted a second finger. It was even better than before and I couldn’t keep it in anymore. I cried out in pleasure as he started to circle around my small nub. I tried to shift a little, hoping to satisfy the urges that were begging for me to be handled.

  “I love it, babe. But it’s not enough.” I clung to his shoulders as I felt my body start to shake.

  He placed me on the ground and pulled his shirt off. I reached out and rushed to undo his pants. As they slid down, I took a deep breath. Was I ready to do this? Now that I was this close, nervousness hit me. My first time was going to be in a supply closet of a firehouse. But then again, it was going to be with someone I really cared about and who clearly cared about me. Yesterday, I thought he could have been the one. Who else would I want to share this with? It was time to get this out of the way. Everyone said the first time was awful. I was ready to move into that love making side everyone always raved about.

  Before I could second guess myself, I grabbed his boxers and yanked them down. He was huge. I couldn’t believe it and I panicked a little. Was that actually going to fit inside me? I was going to enjoy finding out.

  “I’m ready,” I told him as I tried to breathe normally. I locked eyes with him and then slid off my own panties and unhooked my bra. I stood in front of him, naked, and waited for him to respond.

  “I got this,” Kinsley said excitedly, and reached into his wallet to get a condom. As he slipped it on, I smiled and pulled him in for a kiss. He picked me up again and slid inside of me. I felt a bit of pressure at first and closed my eyes tight against the bit of pain that was trying to ruin my time. But Kinsley kept on and I soon forgot the pain. Instead, I felt something else. It was like a raw sensation that overwhelmed any other thought coming to mind. I bit my lip to keep from calling out and ran my fingers through his hair, pulling as I felt myself beginning to get excited.

  Kingsley, up against the door in the supply closet, was actually hitting that elusive spot. I’d always heard guys struggled with that, but there he was, and I was coming undone in his arms. I focused on the feeling resonating from inside me and held onto it as I went over the edge. I called out his name and shook violently as the aftershocks flowed through me.

  “Yes, babe,” he said, and sped up a little bit. He pushed me harder against the wall and I felt him explode inside me.

  He gently placed me on the floor and kissed me hard. “Now, that was fun.”

  Chapter 11

  Kingsley walked me back to my car and lightly pushed me against the driver side door.

  “Do I have more of these surprises to look forward to?” He thumbed the side of my breast teasingly through my coat.

  I swatted his hand a little and smiled. “I don’t know. I guess you’ll just have to wait and see what I have planned for you. It’s like my own surprise. Consider it payback.”

  “I guess that means I’ll have to keep planning fun things for us to do so the payback never ends.”

  He winked at me as I climbed in my car and sped off.

  I used the little bit of a drive to try to figure out how I felt. Some people felt really empty after their first time and some people felt a sense of disappointment. They put their virginity on a pedestal and then when it was gone, they were left wondering what the big deal was in the first place.

  As I contemplated what it meant for me, I realized all I could focus on was how much I wanted to do it again. It was amazing to turn my brain o
ff and just let my body take over. I spent so much time focusing on consequences, possibilities, and problems. But when Kingsley’s hands were on me, it was like all of the stress from the day was gone and I could focus on the physical side of things.

  I headed to my dorm room and sat down on my bed. Then I jumped up, as if it were made of fire. The sheets smelled of the cologne I’d bought for Jason. I didn’t want to remember that because then guilt would start to build up inside. Keeping this secret from Kingsley was going to eat me up. I stripped the sheets and tossed them in the hamper. I quickly remade the bed and tossed my collection of pillows onto the comforter. But now I had a clean bed, so I had to go shower.

  By the time I was done, it was after two in the morning. I kicked myself for not calling Christie and Violet earlier. They were going to freak when they heard all about what happened. I lay down to get some sleep in the hopes I’d be able to calm my racing heart.

  ***

  I woke up early on Monday and started to get ready for class. My first one was at nine that morning and I didn’t want to be late. I was leaving the bathroom when Violet walked in to get her make-up ready.

  “How are you doing?” I asked her gently.

  “Uh, I came back here last night and I barely slept. I was afraid of the dreams I would have and all sorts of crap.”

  “I could have come and crashed in Lola’s bed, or you could have snuggled with me. You don’t have to do this alone.”

  “I know. But I feel like I have to. I don’t want to still be afraid of Finn. I don’t want to think that maybe someone is hiding in the shadows.”

  “Well, let’s do something about it. Maybe we can take some self-defense classes or something like that. It might make you feel more empowered.”

  “Yeah, I like that. We should look into it. I feel like it would make me more confident.” She nodded and gave me a huge smile. “Now hurry up and get ready, I want to hear all about your date.”

  I told her about the winter festival and how we were exclusive now. Then I finally dropped the bomb about the lingerie and my v-card.

  “Holy crap, are you serious?”

  “I still can’t believe it happened, but it was great.”

  “What was great?” Jason asked, walking up to us in the hallway.

  I whipped around and looked at him with wide eyes. I wasn’t going to tell him, but Violet jumped in.

  “Violet and Kingsley hooked up yesterday.”

  I glared at her and she shrugged her shoulders as if to say, “Oh well.”

  “Wait, what? Just like that? Didn’t you just meet him?” Jason growled.

  “Don’t judge me. We just have this amazing connection and it seemed right. Besides, why should you guys get to be the only ones having sex? It’s a lot of fun.”

  “Actually, Jason—” Violet started to say, but Jason quickly cut her off.

  “No, she’s right. You two have fun. Who am I to stop you?” He gave me a hard look that I didn’t appreciate and then turned to Violet. “So, Vi, how’s everything going?”

  “Annabelle and I decided to take some self-defense classes. I just feel like I need something like that to help me feel more confident.”

  “If you guys want, I could take you to the gun range after classes. We don’t have anything to do with EET, and it’s not like we have a lot to do to prepare for the meeting tomorrow.”

  “That sounds great. I’d feel like a badass. Let’s do it,” Violet insisted, giving us a big smile. “Do you actually know anything about guns?”

  “Yeah, my dad has had me at the range for years. Believe it or not, I’m pretty lethal,” Jason informed us with a sinister look.

  Violet and I cracked up and I gave him a little shove. Picturing Jason with a gun just didn’t seem right.

  “No, seriously, you will be impressed. Meet me outside the dorms at four. I’ll make a reservation.”

  ***

  My classes went smoothly and I was heading back to my room to drop my stuff off when I ran into Christie.

  “What’s up, sexy mama?” she asked, greeting me with a hug. “How was last night? I’ve been dying to know how it went but I’ve been doing that whole respecting boundaries shit.”

  “Yeah, how’d that work out for you?”

  “I don’t have the patience for it, so tell me!”

  “We did it in the supply closet of the firehouse.” I blushed bright red but Christie barely had time to register it as she pulled me into a hug.

  “Ah, I’m so happy for you. Well, I think. Was it good?”

  “I enjoyed it. Kingsley, obviously, has done it before so he knew what he was doing. All I had to do was strip and hold on.”

  “My kind of girl! Make him do all the work, I like it.” She smiled, nodding her head at me. “So, what are you up to now, round two?”

  “We’re actually going to head over to a gun range. Violet is just feeling a little concerned about the incident last semester and Jason thought it would be a good way to help her.”

  “That sounds like such a good idea. Do you guys mind if I come too? I like to go to the range and blow off steam.”

  “Are you an expert gunslinger?” I asked as I opened the door to my dorm for her.

  “Obviously. I’m right up there with Bonnie from Bonnie and Clyde.”

  I dropped my bag and changed my boots to sneakers and Christie walked up to my bulletin board of pictures.

  “Well, Jason claims to be an expert, so it will be great to have another pro there. You could help me and he could help Violet.”

  “That sounds perfect. I’ll get you bitches in shape.”

  “But there is something else I need to talk to you about,” I said quietly. “Jason is going to be there today.”

  “Yeah, you said that already.”

  “What do I do? If Kingsley finds out, he’s gonna be pissed.”

  “No, he said he didn’t want you guys alone together. Violet and I will be there ready to cock block at any second.”

  “That helps. It’s just, sometimes that guy makes me so angry, and then other times he can be the sweetest person. Like, he’s giving me crap about hooking up with Kingsley and then suggests the gun range to help Violet feel better. It’s hard to stay pissed off when he pulls it together. And I don’t think it’s an act either. You know how some guys know when to put on the charm, it just seems to be the way he is. He’s almost like a girl with his emotions all out there.”

  “Well, I don’t know him very well, so let me watch today and I’ll see what I can pick up.”

  “I guess just let me know if it looks like I might be leading him on or something. I don’t want there to be anything between us anymore.”

  “Then don’t let there be. If you feel like he is crossing the line, then tell him that.”

  I nodded, but in reality, I wasn’t a confrontational person. I didn’t think I could just bring it up, but maybe I could be a bit more standoffish to him.

  We headed outside. Jason and Violet were already waiting there. Their last class of the day was together so I was sure they headed out together.

  “Shotgun,” Violet called as she saw us and opened the front door.

  I rolled my eyes at her at her bad pun, but I was happy to see her goofing off again. Tomorrow was probably going to be a hard day when she saw Berneli at the EET meeting.

  “I hope it’s okay, but Christie wants to come. She is a gun person too.”

  “Yeah, sounds good,” Jason said, and gave me a smile. “I’ll just text the owner and let him know. He and my dad are friends, so he’s hooking us up.”

  “Thanks,” I responded.

  Jason looked at me and held my eye contact. He smiled sweetly and opened the passenger door for me. Christie walked to the other side and climbed in behind Violet.

  “Thanks,” I repeated as our hands slightly grazed each other. I quickly snatched mine away and got in.

  “So, thanks for letting me come, guys,” Christie said as Jason started driving
.

  Christie and Jason spent most of the drive talking about the guns they liked to shoot and their past experiences. I was listening with half an ear and texting Kingsley.

  He told me that he desperately wanted to come with us, but he had too much other stuff to deal with at the moment. I was a little bummed, but I couldn’t expect him to be available constantly. And I hadn’t actually invited him. I told him what we were doing and he sort of took that as an invitation. It was sweet that he wanted to hang out with me so much.

  Then he asked if we could hang out this weekend. I blushed, thinking about our last night together, and told him that I would definitely like our date to be a private one. That got him excited and he moved it to Wednesday. I smiled, satisfied he wanted to see me, or at least wanted to be with me that badly, and focused on my friends.

  We walked into the gun shop and I was completely overwhelmed. I walked straight to the counter and looked up at the guy behind the register as if he was my savior. Christie and Violet were in the corner looking at some pink weapons and chatting quietly. Part of me wanted to know what they were saying, but the other part figured Violet was filling Christie in on everything that happened. I’d let them have their moment.

  Jason walked over to me and shook hands with my savior.

  “How’s it going, Jason? It must be good, bringing three beautiful ladies into my shop.”

  Jason laughed and smiled down at me. “The ladies want to feel a bit more comfortable with guys confronting them.”

  “We can definitely do that. What kind of guns do you want to look at?”

  “Um, probably shot guns. Whatever you recommend. I was thinking a forty-five, maybe a twenty-two or a nine millimeter.”

  “Considering your dad isn’t here and these lovely ladies don’t appear to be over twenty-one, I’ll get the shot guns. Nice try though.”

  Jason turned to look at me and the corner of his mouth tuned up. “So, should I be scared? You with a weapon?”

  I gave him a push. “Yeah, say the wrong thing and I’ll end you.” I formed my hands into a gun and acted like I was shooting him.
