Page 37 of When It Snows

She does as I say and I herd her out of the door to her car. She sighs when I help her into the passenger seat.

“I can drive.”

I kiss her cheek. “It’s my privilege to drive you.”

Her stomach rumbles as we drive out of town. “I hope this surprise includes dinner. I think I forgot to eat lunch.”

I frown. Scarlett often forgets to eat lunch when she’s working.

“I’m going to have to come home for lunch every day if you keep skipping lunch.”

“It’s not as if I’m starving.” She motions to her curves.

“I love those curves. I don’t want them disappearing.”

“No need to worry.”

When we leave Smuggler’s Rest behind, she asks, “Where are we going? We passed all the good restaurants.”

“Almost there.”

She giggles. “We’re on a small island. We’re always almost there.”

I turn into the driveway of Hermit Jeremy’s cabin.

“Are we re-enacting our first weekend together? I didn’t bring any clothes or toiletries.”

I switch off the engine and run around the car to help her out.

“Are you going to explain?”

“In a minute.” I lead her to the front door. There’s a big red bow on it.

“Why is there a bow on the door?”

“Because this, precious, is your surprise.”

“We are re-enacting our first weekend together. I’ll phone Hazel to bring me some supplies.”

I snatch her phone from her and shove it in my back pocket. “Let me show you your surprise first.”

I open the door. “Ta da!”

Candles are blazing on every surface and rose petals cover the floor.

“Weston, this is sweet.” She squeezes my hand. “I never wanted to leave the cabin but it was rented out. I don’t know how you managed to get a booking but thank you.”

She pushes up on her toes to press her lips to mine. I thrust my tongue into her mouth and growl when her spicy taste hits me. I’m addicted to her taste. And her curves. And making her scream my name in pleasure.

I can’t imagine a time when I won’t want to spend all my free time buried deep inside of her. She’s my addiction and I’m not letting her go.

Her stomach rumbles again and I pull away. “I need to feed you.”

“Feed me quick and then we can go test out if the bed is as comfortable as I remember.”

I groan. “Don’t tempt me. You’re hungry.”

We make our way to the kitchen and I open the refrigerator to remove the dinner I had delivered here earlier.
