Page 30 of Snowed in with My Protector

She smells like home to me. I want the scent of her filling up ever corner of this cabin for the rest of our lives. I want to hear her laughter as she chases our kids. I want her looking at me with pride as we continue to build our lives together.

And if she wants to leave the mountain at any point, then I’ll figure it out. For her, I’ll do anything.

“Well,” Blake stands up, “I think you two have a lot of things to talk about. We will keep an eye on the situation and let you know if anything changes.” He gives me a chin lift before directing a soft smile toward my woman. “I’ll see myself out.”

It’s only when we hear the front door closing that our gazes lock. I could fall into the abyss of the promises in her eyes. The silence between us doesn’t feel awkward.

“You’re really not going anywhere?” There’s vulnerability that even I can hear in my words.

“Where would I go?” She cocks her head to the side as she studies me. “Even if I could go back to Seattle, I don’t want to. My life there is over. I’m sure I should regret that since I blew up my life without really realizing or recognizing the consequences, but I don’t. I did the right thing and the reward I’ve gotten out of it is something I could have never foreseen.”

My eyebrows pull together and I sound confused, “The reward?”

“You,” there’s so much weight in one word.

It takes me a moment for her meaning to sink in and my it feels like my heart blooms in my chest. “You’re fucking amazing, Fallon,” I rasp.

The smile she gives me is full of sunlight and warmth. “You’re fucking amazing too, Hutch,” she teases me.

I press my forehead against hers. “I hate the idea of you giving up your entire life in Seattle,” I admit. “I’ve been thinking of how to bring what you love here. I don’t have a clear plan, but I’m going to do my best.”

“What do you mean?”

“If you want to work, then we can figure it out.”

“There isn’t exactly a perfumery up here on Alpha Mountain,” she teases.

“No, there isn’t, but if we need to move somewhere then we can.”

She blinks up at me a few times before her face smooths out and she gives me a soft look. “I don’t want to move somewhere. This mountain gives you peace and I won’t be taking that away from you.”

I nod slowly, my mind turning with a way to bring her passion here to the mountain. “Then I’ll build you a lab,” I vow.

Fallon throws her head back and laugh, probably because the thought of building a lab all the way out here, in the middle of nowhere, is ridiculous. It is, but I’m going to figure out a way to make it happen.

When I don’t laugh along with her, she freezes and stares at me. “You’re serious?”

“I know it won’t be easy, but I’m going to make it happen.” Her eyes widen and I know she’s about to argue with me, but I shake my head. “I will figure it out. This is your passion. Even if all you do is make perfumes for yourself, that’s enough. More than enough because all I want is for you to be happy.”

She shifts until she’s straddling my lap, her fingers running through my hair.

“I don’t need a lab,” she murmurs, “I just need you.”

I take her mouth with mine, the kiss sweet at first. When she starts to grind down against the hard ridge of my cock, there’s a shift from sweet to carnal. Her taste drives my need to devour her.

Swallowing down her mewls of pleasure isn’t nearly enough. I flip us and hover over her. The way her eyes are glazed over with desire has my cock leaking behind the fly of my jeans.

“You’re mine,” I rasp against her lips.

“I’m yours,” she moans, her hips moving to find the perfect amount of friction.

I get lost in my woman and everything our future will hold.

An image of her round with our child flashes in my mind. The thought of her being pregnant with my kid has me feeling fucking feral.

“Gonna fill you with my cum,” I groan. “Fuck, want to give you a baby.”

The coy smile on her face has me grinding against her. “It’ll happen when it’s supposed to happen. Just like me meeting you.”
