"We're never going to make it out of this bed, are we?" I sighed.
"Not yet at least," Peter mumbled back against my skin.
He snatched the blanket off of my body and climbed on top of me. Who was I to fight such an amazing invitation? I eagerly wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed him as he grinned and nipped my flesh. He was so eager with me. I couldn't remember ever being so wanted and I really loved the fact that he did want me all the time.
We panted when we were done, all wrapped up in each other's arms as sweat pooled and dripped off of our bodies. I didn't care. I could cuddle with him for the rest of the day. The snow was still outside, the heat was perfect inside and I was happy and comfortable.
I don't ever want to leave.
That thought jolted me. Had I really just thought that I never wanted to leave? Of course I had to leave. I had a job, a home, a life waiting for me back in Vegas. I tensed up and Peter shifted until his head rested in his palm.
"What's wrong?"
I loved and hated how quickly he could read me. Peter seemed to know my body and every little tense motion that I made. I shook my head as he glanced at me expectantly. I wasn't going to tell him what was going through my head. It was silly and it was me being weird about the situation. I knew what this was, what we were doing, and I loved it. Why ruin it?
I stroked my finger over his cheek. "Nothing. I was just thinking about how hungry I am and how hungry the cows must be."
He grinned. "It's time to be adults, isn't it?"
I nodded. "Had to happen at some point."
Peter groaned, but pulled me out of the bed. Instead of letting me walk, he pulled me into his arms and carried me bridal style into the bathroom. I would have protested, but my legs still felt like absolute jello and I was pretty sure they'd give out if he put me down.
He sat me on the edge of the tub and turned on the shower before he climbed inside. I watched the water roll off his strong body. Every inch was muscled and powerful. It made me want to lick him all over.
Don't start that again. You're supposed to be focusing.
Right. I needed to focus.
I stood up and rinsed myself off before I cleaned myself up. I took the soap and washed his back. It was almost mesmerizing watching the suds roll down his back, over his great ass, and down his sturdy legs.
"Stop that," Peter laughed.
I blinked and realized he was watching me over his shoulder. My cheeks tinted. "I can't help it. Seriously, you got so hot."
"I wasn't hot before?" He grinned.
"Oh no, you were hot, but this is like… new hot. You were this lanky little skinny thing last time I saw you and now you have muscle groups I can't even name," I sighed happily. "It's so nice."
Peter turned and took me into his arms. "You're the most ridiculous woman I've ever met."
"And you love me for it."
We kissed under the steamy water and my knees dared to buckle again. It really wasn't fair how easy it was for him to bring that out of me. When we pulled back I finished cleaning myself up before he dressed me in his clothes again. They were so warm and they smelled like him. I couldn't describe that scent. It was like wood, fire, and home. I wanted to drown in that scent and keep him near me until I curled up and went to sleep happily.
"Ready?" He asked.
I nodded. "Of course. Let's go check on the babies."
We trudged out of the house, but I noticed that the snow wasn't as bad as the day before. It had already started to melt and it was easier to walk through. That was great news, but it also made me a little sad. Pretty soon I wouldn't be holed up with Peter and I couldn't use the excuse of the blizzard to keep myself there either.
"I got a text too. Dan said he's working on your car today and it should be done soon. It doesn't seem like it was too much of a problem."
"That's great," I said as I walked after him. "That was fast."
Why does that hurt? It was so fun to hang out with Peter. Maybe I'd gotten used to him too quickly again, but who else had that kind of friendship? We hadn't seen each other in years and we'd jumped right back into being close friends. It was amazing and I missed having someone like him around.
"Want to help me with this?" Peter asked as we entered the barn and he glanced back at me.
