Page 68 of Wild Nights

The lights from the tree and the fire illuminated her pale skin. Her black hair blocked the side of her face as she cupped my dick and worked me over. Then she licked the tip of my cock and down the side. She was determined to drive me crazy.

I stifled a groan and held my body rigid. She played me hard and fast, squeezing my cock as she swallowed my length, hollowing her cheeks and using her tongue to make me feel good. In no time, I was squirting my release down her throat. It was the best orgasm I'd had in a long time. It had something to do with the circumstances and the need to be quiet. I wished we could do more. I wanted to sink inside her. But it wasn't the time or place.

She moved up my body, laying over me. I was still mostly clothed, but she was naked. I'd enjoy this for a few minutes before I prompted her to get dressed. We couldn't be too careful.Joey usually slept through the night, but he might be uncomfortable in the fort.

A few seconds later, Carolina got up and got dressed. Then she draped her body over mine while the movie played. I stroked her hair and her back, wishing we could do this every night. How amazing would my life be?

I woke to the smell of eggs and bacon, and Joey jumping on the couch near my feet. "Wake up, sleepyhead."

I rubbed a hand over my face. "What time is it?"

"Seven. Uncle Xander said the roads in town are cleared, so he's coming to help you dig out."

"You read my text messages?" I asked, still feeling groggy.

Guilt passed over his face. "Uh-huh. It was important though."

"Right."

Carolina moved so that she was standing in front of us. "How do you like your eggs?"

"However you want to make them." I wasn't picky, but I loved seeing her holding one of my spatulas still wearing her clothes from last night and her hair a tangled mess. She was my mess, and I wanted to wake up to her always.

She smiled, then moved into the kitchen again.

My heart ached because today there wouldn't be any playing in the snow or boardgames in the great room. I'd be busy supervising the cleanup and coordinating getting the guests to their destinations.

Everyone would want to leave, and I had to slip into the role of hotel manager until Eli was home.

I sat up, the room spinning slightly as I adjusted to being upright. "What happened to the fort?"

The blankets were resting on the pillows. Joey shrugged. "It fell down."

"Did you have fun last night?" I asked him, my voice rough from sleep.

Joey's eyes were bright as he snuggled into my side. "Can Carolina sleep over again?"

I ran a hand through my hair. "Oh, I don't know. She probably has a flight out soon. She has to go home to see her family."

His face fell. "Oh."

"All the guests are going home soon." That's all Carolina was, a guest at the lodge. If I'd gotten a little too close to her, that was my problem. Not his.

"Breakfast is almost ready," Carolina called.

"I'm going to brush my teeth," I said to him as I headed for the bathroom. I needed to freshen up, and I needed a few minutes to gather myself. Carolina would be leaving soon, and I didn't feel great about it.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face, putting on fresh clothes before I headed into the kitchen. There was no point in showering before I worked outside.

In the kitchen, there was a plate of eggs and bacon waiting for me, along with a steaming mug of coffee.

"I figured you could use a good breakfast since you had to clear snow this morning."

"I wish I didn't," I said as I sat down.

Carolina placed a plate of toasted bread in the center of the table and then sat across from me. Joey had already finished eating and was watching TV in the living room.

"When is your flight out?" I steeled myself against her answer.
