I squeal, and he places me on the cool kitchen counter. He chuckles, and the vibration slides down my spine before settling between my legs.

Giggling with exhilaration, I playfully protest, “It isn't very sanitary!”

A deep growl escapes his throat. “It's fitting.”

I grab onto the edge of the counter. My breath is ragged.

Carter kneels in front of me, and his strong hands push my legs apart, nestling between my thighs.

“I'm going to make you feel so good,” he rasps, his lips trailing fiery kisses along my stomach.

I moan softly in response, wrapping my legs around his head. His mouth moves hungrily against me, and I gasp as he finds my core and begins working his magic.

Carter's tongue traces circles over my clit before lapping at the sensitive nub, his warm breath fanning across my folds as he devours me.

His fingers tease and probe deeper, finding my G-spot and teasing it with precision, leaving me panting.

“Carter,” I whisper as heat builds, “don't stop.”

He chuckles darkly against my wet core, his breath tickling my sensitive flesh.

“Yes,” I sigh, arching as my body quivers from the thrill he's giving me.

My hips buck. His fingers dig into my thighs for leverage. I clutch his head, unable to hold off. All I can do is surrender to the sensations as waves of pleasure build to a crescendo.

“Come for me,” Carter whispers against my slick skin.

My body shudders with pleasure as my orgasm finally overtakes me.

I lie motionless, my breath coming in short rasps. It's too soon when his touch lifts from me. I sit up slowly, my body still trembling.

“Carter,” I whisper, my voice still filled with desire. “That was incredible.”

A cocky grin spreads across his face.

“Good to know. I've got more tricks up my sleeve,” he rumbles, his voice laced with pride.

“I never knew it could feel this amazing,” I admit, my voice filled with wonder.

Carter caresses my cheek. “You deserve to feel this way, Ava.”

I lean into his touch, savoring the warmth of his hand against my skin.

My gaze locks with his, and I see something deep within him. I've always loved Carter, even from a distance, but now it's different.

A wave of clarity crashes over me, washing away my doubts and fears with pure, unyielding love. The stars are aligning, and I'm seeing him for the first time.

I’m ready to discover where this terrifying, exhilarating desire might lead.

CHAPTER6

CARTER

While the wind continues to howl outside, with snow piling higher by the minute, the temperature has shifted inside the cabin. I’ve crossed the line, acting on feelings I’ve kept hidden for years.

I stoke the fire to ward off the chill, marveling at how the dynamic has heated up with things going from frosty to cozy between us.

There’s no telling how long we'll be cooped up before the blizzard passes. The news broadcast made the situation look grim.
