“I left my hometown because I didn’t want to settle down and have babies like everybody else. But since I’ve met you, all I want to do is settle down and have babies. And that terrifies me.”

Her words make my soul sing. She loves me. Sleeping Beauty loves me.

“Oh, honey. Is that what you’re worried about?”

She nods. “I felt so comfortable in your arms, in your cabin, and I freaked out about letting myself down. I’m not having the adventure that I should have. But I was wrong, Kobe., I don’t want to leave. I want to stay with you on the mountain.”

I clasp her hands in mine, and they’re freezing cold. I press them to my lips, trying to breathe warmth back into them. I’ve got to get this woman some damn winter clothes.

“Hailey, I promise you That if you stay with me, I’ll make the rest of your life an adventure.

I love you, Hailey. I want you next to me on my mountain. If you don’t want babies straight away, that’s fine. If you don’t want babies at all, that’s fine. I just want you.”

Tears spring to her eyes, and from the way she’s grinning at me, I guess they’re happy tears.

“Kobe, that’s the thing. You make me want to have babies. It’s the most irritating thing in the world.”

I throw my head back and laugh, and it’s an alien sound. But with this woman I feel parts of me waking up that have been asleep for too long.

Snow flurries around her golden locks and land on her exposed head because she’s not wearing a goddamn hat either.

“Tomorrow we’re going shopping,” I say as I pull her to the truck.

“What for?”

“For some goddamn winter clothes. If you’re gonna spend winter, here you need more than a wooly sweater.”

She leans into me, and I put my arm around her.

“That’s what I’ve got you for. To keep me warm.”

As she says it her hand travels over my chest, sending a shock of heat through my body and making my cock instantly hard.

The snow’s falling harder now, and I fling her bag in the back and open the passenger door.

She scoots over, and I climb in my side and meet her halfway. Now that I know she loves me, I can’t keep my hands off her.

We kiss in the front cab of the truck like horny teenagers. But once I get started, I can’t stop.

Her desire is as urgent as mine, and we devour each other with our lips.

Hailey climbs onto my lap, undoing my belt buckle as she straddles me.

I peek out the window, but the bus is gone and the town is empty, everyone driven inside by the snow.

But I don’t care if anyone sees us. I want the world to know that this woman is mine.

We awkwardly pull at each other’s clothing until I’ve got her leggings around her ankles and my cock is popped out of my pants.

I’d prefer her fully naked, but there’s something sexy about this quickie in the front seat.

She’s slick and wet, and this time I don’t need to warm her up. She slides down my cock, and I love that she’s taking control. Her eyes widen as my girth fills her up. My cock slides into her tight cunt, making me groan at how good it feels.

I thrust my hips, making me go deeper, and she squeezes her eyes shut.

“Eyes on me, baby.” She flicks them open. “I want to watch you as I make love to my future wife.”

Her eyes go even wider, and I use the opportunity to grab her hips and thrust deeper.
