They lay in a heap of tangled limbs for several long seconds, each catching their breath until Allie complained with a giggle. “You’re squishing me…”
“Yeah, well we can’t have that now, can we. I need to keep this body of yours in good shape so I can use up all those condoms.”
Chapter Eighteen
ZACH
“Wake up, sleepyhead. It’s Christmas morning and your father is probably downstairs waiting for us to open gifts.”
In the three days since his arrival, Zach had discovered Allison was not a morning person, among other things. He’d decided she would never make it with his frequent oh-six-hundred start times back on the base, which was just one more thing they didn’t have in common.
Yet, despite how long that list of differences was getting, Zach’s heart constricted with uncharacteristic emotion as the woman dozing in his arms snuggled closer. He’d half expected to have the newness of their relationship wear off by now, yet each day they spent together made him feel closer to Allie. He didn’t know if it was their time spent in long conversations, playing board games, enjoying smoking hot sex, or curled up napping in front of the roaring fireplace that he’d enjoyed the most since his arrival in Colorado. The only thing he knew with any certainty was his feelings for Allison were more than just a passing attraction brought on by the extraordinary circumstances under which they met.
Most surprising was her father’s outward acceptance that Zach wasn’t just here for a booty call. The men had conversed often enough for Zach to know her father was also grateful to have another man who cared about Allison close by protecting her until Miguel Blanco was put back behind bars where he belonged.
“I need coffee,” Allie complained, pulling the blanket over her head.
“I’m sure there’s plenty of coffee downstairs waiting for us along with those yummy cinnamon rolls Maryanne made yesterday.”
Zach wasn’t above bribing her with her favorite pastries, but if Allison’s hand cupping and squeezing his balls was any indication, she wanted to sample his own sweets before heading downstairs.
“As tempting as it is to roll you onto your back and deliver my own creamy frosting this morning, we’ve slept too late for that. I’m still nervous that your father is gonna barge in unannounced one of these mornings since we keep getting up later and later. I’d rather not have to throw punches this early in the morning,” Zach teased, pulling the comforter off Allison’s body.
“It’s cold in here!” She tried to wrestle him for the covers back as he got out of bed.
“Then all the more reason to jump into a hot shower. We can warm up and get our day started.” When Allie still didn’t move, he smacked her naked ass and added, “Maybe another spanking like last night would help.”
The sound of her light-hearted laughing made him feel almost giddy.
“You can spank me like that again anytime,” she added. “In fact, I’m pretty sure I need another demonstration now.”
This time Zach’s smack to her butt was no longer the playful kind.
“Owie!” she complained, reaching back to cover her bottom.
“That’s just your reminder that last night was for fun. There are lots of different kinds of spankings and I’m pretty sure you won’t like the one I’m considering right now.”
It was his third smack to her perfect ass that finally got her scrambling off the bed. When she rushed toward her bathroom, giggling all the way, Zach took off after her like he was the big, bad wolf, finally trapping her between the sink and his body.
Their eyes met in the mirror and he saw the humor in her eyes melting into desire. His cock responded, growing until he was poking against her pink bottom.
“We don’t have time,” he said with much less conviction than he should considering how late it was already.
“We could make it a quickie,” she countered. “I just need to pee really quick first.”
“Oh no, if we’re gonna do this, we doing it now,” he said, cupping her perfect breasts in each palm as he pinched her tits, leaning down to lick the crook of her neck. She tasted so good he couldn’t resist sucking hard.
He loved how happy she sounded as she reminded him, “Thank goodness it’s winter and I have lots of turtlenecks to cover all of the hickies you keep leaving all over my body.”
“Shit,” he said pulling away from her slightly. “I didn’t bring in any of the condoms.”
“Never fear,” she grinned into the mirror as she pulled open the top drawer. “I put a dozen of them in here just in case.”
Zach snatched one from the drawer and started suiting up as he praised her. “My good little girl scout being so prepared.”
“Yeah, well if I was so prepared, I’d have brushed my teeth and peed first,” she said while simultaneously lifting one knee up to the counter to open herself up to his roaming hands.
“So wet,” Zach teased as he slipped his fingers through her slit. “Always ready for me.”
