She moaned inside his mouth, her body twisting restlessly, her heart racing a mile a minute and her flesh feeling as if it had been touched by the flames of the fire! Her hands drifted down and she dug her fingers into the tautness of his back, her body spinning out of control! He lifted his head for a moment to look down at her, his thrusts slowing down, his mind muddled. “Hey,” he whispered huskily.
“Hey,” she whispered back not quite knowing what to say to this man who had switch the light on inside her body and recharged the batteries that she had thought were dead. His hands framed her face and pushed back the tangle of hair from her face. “This is–” he broke off as she wrapped her legs around his waist and lifted her hips to his.
“Stop talking,” she moaned hungrily, feeling as if she was on the edge of a very high precipice and about to fall all the way down.
“Yes,” he bent his head to capture her lips, his hands going down to grip her hips as he increased the pace. He wanted to tell her that this was the first for him. The first time he had ever felt this incredible unbelievable passion with a woman before in all of his forty-three years. The first time he ever wanted to just shuck everything and tell her to marry him right now! He eased out a little bit before plunging back in up to the hilt causing her gasp inside his mouth! She abandoned the hold she had and let the feeling, the passion carrying her towards the ground with a maddening speed that left her dizzy. She tore her mouth from his and cried out brokenly, her body shuddering against his as the orgasm swept through her with a rush that stunned her and had her clinging to him! He came in the middle of hers, his groans echoing around the room, his body shuddering against hers as he gave in to a love and passion that floored him beyond belief!
Chapter 5
They were marooned for two days but neither of them minded! The snow had stopped coming down the next morning but lay there thick on the crowds surrounding the cabin. They did not get up except to eat or go take a shower in the old-fashioned bathroom where he heated up water on the stove and poured it into the bath yellowed with age. He explored her entire body with his mouth, sending her into spasms upon spasms of ecstasy that had her screaming out his name over and over again. They wrung each other dry and after a few minutes’ rest would continue again.
Somehow they found the time to have conversations, inane ones while curled up into each other’s arms naked and sated.
It was the second day into the afternoon. She had prepared some canned soup and had found some fresh vegetables in the cooler and made a salad. She had even found a bottle of wine.
“I have a niece and nephew by my brother Khalif. He is the eldest and the only boy and lives in Florida.” She was drowsy whether it was by the fire or the leisurely lovemaking that had her reaching for the sky. She was sprawled on his chest with her face smashed into his well-muscled chest, her hair spread over him. They were both naked and his hand circled the small back lazily. “My sister Karen lives in Australia with her husband Mitch and their two daughters. I see them most summers.”
“And yet you have no children of your own,” he murmured softly. He had fallen in love with her so fast that his head was spinning! These two days with her had been the best in his entire life and he was selfishly hoping it would last. He had not used protection and that was not like him. He was secretly hoping that somehow she would be pregnant!
“I thought about it a lot when I was younger,” she told him ruefully as she lifted her head to look at him. “I am forty-two years old, Scott, so I have a feeling that it might be too late for me.”
“You don’t look a day over twenty,” he pushed back the hair from her face. “And it is never too late.”
She stared down at him and her heart constricted. In a couple of days, she would be on her way home back to her busy life and he would be back to his life as well. These two days being with him and feeling him inside her had been glorious! She had often heard about holiday romance but was sensible enough to know that it rarely lasted. She was an adult and mature enough to know that this was going to be a onetime thing and she might as well make the best of it.
“What about you?” his hair was mussed and she shivered slightly as she remembered running her fingers through the thick strands as he went down on her. The man had a mouth on him! She thought with a spike in her heartbeat.
“I am a year older than you are,” his fingers reaching around to cup the back of her head. “I still have hopes of finding the right woman and having my family.” His body language had changed suddenly and she felt his erection between her legs.
“You are insatiable,” her voice dropped to a whisper as she bent her head to his.
“When it comes to you, I am.” He captured her lips, playing with the bottom one, pulling it into his mouth and nibbling at the soft flesh sending darts of fire into her belly.
“Scott,” she moaned huskily, her body moving against his.
“Put it in,” he urged hoarsely.
She needed no second bidding as she reached between them and guided his erection still wet from their combined orgasms inside her wetness. He pushed up into her causing her eyes to fly open and her mouth to open in a gasp of shocked delight. She braced her hands onto his chest and eased up as he went in deeper inside her. He held her hips, his dark blue eyes holding hers as he started thrusting into her. Within minutes they were both lost into the maelstrom of the emotions rushing through them!

“Calm down, you know that the boss knows the land like the back of his hands.” John told the agitated woman impatiently. “The cabin is stocked with wood shavings and enough food to last a month. He is not going to put Ms. Kadine in any danger. We certainly cannot send out men in this weather.” They were both inside the living room looking through the window at the snow that was still coming down. It was the second day since they had been gone and Patsy had tried calling even though she knew that there were no cell services up that side. “It’s cooling down now so hopefully by tomorrow we will get the tractor and start shoveling enough for them to be able to leave.”
“I know I worry, but I cannot help it,” she wrung her hands as she looked out the window. Visibility was extremely poor and all that could be seen was the dazzling whiteness all around. The farmhands had been busy securing the animals and she and the cook along with the rest of the staff had been cooking up a storm for them to get some much needed sustenance when they were through. “I hope they keep warm.”
“The last time I was up there were towels and blankets. You know I would trudge up there if I could.”
“I would never ask you to do that. You mean too much to me,” she said a little gruffly making sure that the rest of the household staff were not in hearing distance.
“I know,” his face crinkled with a pleased smile. “I am going to make sure the horses are okay. I will come and check up on you in a little bit.” He touched her hand briefly before he left.
Patsy stood where she was and stared out at the snow coming down. She was thinking something else but had not said anything to John. They were alone together and Ms. Washington was a beautiful woman and a very nice one. Her beloved cousin needed a woman in his life not like the shark like neighbor who had wanted to get her long clutches on him. Maybe the storm was a convenient way of bringing the two people together and for that she had to send up prayers of thanks. With a smile, she left the living room and went about her duties.

The lovemaking on Friday morning was slow and intense. The storm had cleared up altogether and they both knew it was only a matter of time before his staff would come looking for them. It was not realistic for them to stay there forever; there was the outside world to face and they knew it but they pushed it aside. Scott wanted to pin her down and tell her what he felt, and he wanted to tell her to spend the rest of her life with him but he had a feeling they were not on the same page. He called out her name loudly in the quietness of the cabin as he spilled his seed in her over and over again until
there was nothing left!
It was some minutes to ten when they showered together and got dressed. Kadine made them breakfast. She had found grits and eggs and prepared that along with some instant cocoa she had found in the cupboard. They put on their coats and bundled went outside for the first time since they had gotten there.
“God, it is so beautiful!” she whispered as if trying not to disturb the incredible beauty of nature. He held her hand securely as they stepped into the snow which came to the top of their boots.
“I have never been here when it is like this.” Scott looked around at the terrain and saw that the entire place was covered in snow. He felt a twinge of anxiety as he thought about the fruits that were ready to be picked and then brushed it aside. “It certainly is eye catching.”
His trained ears heard the hum of an engine and realized that the idyllic time with her was at a very close end. “We are going to be rescued.” He said lightly as they stood there in the middle of the area surrounding the cabin.
“How do you know?” she looked up at him quizzically.
“I heard the engine of the tractor.” He pulled her into the circle of his arms and wrapped his arms around her. “I am going to remember this for as long as I live.” He murmured.
“So am I,” she lifted her head to his and be bent his to take her lips. The feelings between them spiraled up and spread between them as they became lost in the intensely passionate kiss.
It was the sound of the engine getting louder that forced them apart. Scott secured the cap over her ears and allowed his fingers to linger on her cheeks for a moment before taking her hand and leading them inside. “Let’s go back to the real world,” his voice had more than a tinge of regret that was echoed inside her.
*****
Patsy made a fuss over them as soon as they got back to the farmhouse plying them with hot chocolate and pastry. Scott had been able to drive his car as the tractor had cleared a path for them to travel. They had made the journey in silence both caught up in their own thoughts.
“We are fine Patsy,” he said a little indulgently. “I am sure Kadine would like to go to her suite and refresh herself. I have to go out and take care of some things.” He turned to look at the woman he had spent two intimate nights and days with and his expression was one of tenderness. “Get some rest.”
She nodded and watched as he left the room, his long strides eating up the distance quickly.
Patsy could not help the smile on her face. “How about I send something for you to eat up to your suite?”
“That would be nice. Thank you.” She said smiling at the friendly woman. “I am just going to soak in the bath for an hour or so before I eat.”
Patsy watched as she went towards the suite and then went about getting things together for the menu later.
Kadine locked her door and went into the sitting room to stay there for a few minutes. She was never going to be the same again! Her breasts still felt sensitive from his mouth being on them and her entire body had the imprint of him all over it. He was a sensational lover and she was sure that whoever came after him, if there would be one after him would never measure up! She wandered over to the window and looked out absently, noticing that the area had been cleared of snow. Her glass was frosted up and she used her fingers to make marks along the moisture. Last night, they had made love until the early hours of the morning and she had fell into an exhausted sleep on top of his long lean body. She had laughed at him as she tongued his nipple and had felt the shiver through his body. He had paid her back when he reversed their position and had done the same to her only more thorough!
With a moan, she rested her head against the cool glass and closed her eyes. She wanted him even now after they had made love so many times. God help her!

Dinner consisted of tiny chicken pieces made in orange juice and with a special blend of apricots and peaches along with baby carrots and sweet potatoes. Patsy did most of the talking while Scott and Kadine were mostly silent. She had come out to dinner at seven and had been there for half an hour before he came to the dinner table. He had showered and shaved and was wearing faded denims and a thick maroon sweater that looked great against his skin and hair. Her heart had leapt inside her breast when she saw him. His eyes had scanned her before sitting down. She had chosen to wear a sarong type dress that was made for the weather.
“John told me that the weather affected some of the crops,” Patsy commented.
“Not much for concern,” he said briefly as he ate his meal. He had gone out and done most of the investigation and had gotten the report from the farmhands. He had also visited the green house but it had been too fortified to be affected. All the time he had been doing his checks he had been thinking about her and the time they had spent. She was leaving in the afternoon and he had no idea what he was going to do without her! “You leave tomorrow,” he forced himself to remain casual as he looked at her.
“Yes. I want to get an early start,” their eyes met and something indefinable passed between them. “I have some things to take care of before I get to work on Monday.”
“We are certainly going to miss you,” Patsy said looking from one to the other. “You have been an exemplary guest.”
“And you have been a superb hostess.” She acknowledged with a smile.
Scott ate the rest of his meal in silence and then excused himself and left the table.
Kadine chatted with Patsy briefly and lingered hoping that he was coming back but when he did not show up, she went to her suite feeling the disappointment flooding her. She had called her brother and sisters who had been concerned about not hearing from her and her best friend and assured them that she was okay.
She sat in the living room and watched television idly for a moment and then decided to turn in. She had just finished taking a shower and put on her nightgown when she heard the soft knock on the door. Her heart skidded inside her as she hastily went to open the door. He stood there leaning against the door jamb. He had showered and was in a loose sweat pants and a thin t-shirt, his hair still wet from the shower.
“I wanted to say a proper goodbye,” he told her huskily.
She stepped aside and let him in. She had not closed the door properly before he picked her up in his arms and carried her into the bedroom. He placed her onto the bed and pulled the shirt over his head before reaching down to take off her nightgown. She had not put any underwear on and his eyes darkened as he stared down at her. He opened her legs and fingered her, working two fingers inside her and watching her reaction. His thrusts increased as she pulled her legs up to her chest as he thrust his fingers inside her rapidly bringing her to an astounding relief that had her crying out his name. He took off his pants and eased himself inside her with her holding that same position. He lifted her legs and placed them on one of his shoulders, going in deeper and deeper until he reached the hilt. Kadine grabbed the sheets and eased her body up to meet his thrusts, her body on fire and her throat clogged.
“Scott,” she whispered raggedly, her eyes meeting his.
“Tell me,” he whispered hoarsely.
“I want you.”
“Not as much as I need you!” with that he thrust inside her, his body tensed and his heart pounding inside his chest.
They came together with him gathering her up against him and burying his mouth on hers!
He stayed the night. There was no way he was going to leave her to sleep by herself. He held her in his arms and was awake long after she had fallen asleep. He had to tell her that he wanted her to stay but how was he going to do that when she seemed to want to leave. He wanted to tell her how he felt but he was afraid of the reaction and of being rejected. He eased up on one elbow and looked down at her. He knew every inch of her body because he had explored every inch of it with his hands and his mouth. He knew the little mole she had near her pubic area and how sensitive her nipples were. He wanted to know more about her. Where she had grown up and had she al
ways wanted to be a travel agent. She had told him that she did not use that term when it comes to her but rather referred to herself as a travel planner. She had told him that she always wanted to make dreams come true, but what about her dreams? He used his fingers to push back the wisps of hairs from off her cheeks and touched the soft skin lightly not wanting to wake her. They were a perfect fit and she was the one he had been looking for all his life. She had to see that! How could she not? She had said that she was not sure she could be pregnant at this stage in her life but she was wrong and he knew it!

When she woke up the next morning, he was not beside her. She touched her fingers to the pillows his head had rested on and let them linger there feeling the warmth.
