Suddenlyhis side of the mattress tilted up sharply and he found himself rolling towards the middle.
Thesame thing must have happened toKellibecause he heard her give a little shriek and then felt her soft, curvy body collide with his own.Somehowhe had rolled over on his other side so when they met in the middle of the bed, her soft breasts pressed against his chest.Feelingthem sent a surge of lust through his cock, even though he was still confused about what exactly was happening.
“Whatthe fuck?”he growled at the same timeKelliexclaimed,
“Whatin the world?”
Thetwo of them thrashed around for a second untilKlausrealized the bed was flat again.
“Whatjust happened?”he asked, sitting up and looking down atKelli, who looked as shocked as he was.
“Idon’t know.I…Ithink the mattress tilted and rolled me towards you,” she said breathlessly.
“Yeah, same for me,”Klausgrowled.“Thisfucking cabin—fucking ridiculous!”
“Maybeit wants us to cuddle.”Shesounded hesitant, as though she wasn’t sure he’d evenwant tocuddle with her.
Theuncertainty in her voice nearly brokeKlaus.She’dhad a mate who didn’t care about her pleasure or her happiness for years—she had no idea how beautiful she was, or how much he wanted her.Andhe couldn’t tell her because of his vow.
Butcuddling isn’tBonding,he told himself.Wouldit really be so bad just to hold each other tonight?
“Ithink cuddling sounds nice,” he said.“Imean, if you want to.”
“Idon’t mind.”Kellishrugged as though it wasn’t important to her but he could see the vulnerability in her big, grey eyes.“Itispretty cold in here,” she added.“Evenwith the fire.”
“Yeah, fucking freezing,”Klausagreed, though he personally felt fine.Buthe knew that human women got chilly easily.Kelliprobably was really cold on her side of the huge bed.
Thethought decided him.Hewas herProtector—he had to keep her safe and warm.Itwas hisjob.
“Ihave a feeling even if we go back to our sides, the bed is just going to tip us toward each other again,” he said toKelli.“Sowe might as well cuddle up and keep warm together.Imean, as long as cuddling is all we do.Weare still coworkers, after all,” he added.
“Right, of course.”Shenodded.“Theshower thing was…Imean, the cabinmadeus do it.”
“Exactly—so it’s not our fault.”Klauswas relieved she felt the same way.
“It’snot like we would actually, you know, do anything if we weren’t forced to,” she continued.“Imean, it’ssounprofessional.”
“You’reright.Unprofessional.”Henodded.“Anyway, should we try to get to sleep?”
“Sure.Er, how do you want to lay?”Kellilooked uncertain.“Imean, do you want to spoon?”
Klausopened his mouth to agree…and then thought about her round, soft bottom pressing against his aching shaft.
“Uh, better not,” he said.“Howabout if you just curl up by my side, like you did on the couch?”
“Okay.”Shenodded agreeably.“Thatworks for me.”
Theylay back down, this time in the middle of the bed.Klauslay on his back andKellysnuggled up against his side.Heput an arm around her and drew her close, loving the feeling of her warm, soft body cradled close to his own.Hetried not to notice the way her full breasts and tight nipples pressed against his side…or the way he could feel her soft pussy against his hip as she settled more fully against him.
“Goodnight,Klaus,” she murmured.
“Goodnight, sunshine,” he returned.
Andthen he tried to go to sleep…but there was no way.Hisbody was fully alert now, including his shaft, which was getting harder by the minute.Itseemed like the more he tried notto think about the curvy little human pressed against his side, the more that wasallhe could think about.
Kelliseemed to be having trouble falling asleep too.Sheshifted restlessly against him andKlaushad to bite back a groan as he felt her warm body move against his.Hewas just about to say that this sleeping arrangement wasn’t working—how much temptation could a male stand, anyway?—when she spoke up.
“Klaus, canIask you a personal question?”
