Before I can reply, she attacks my pants, yanks them down my hips, and when my dick springs free, she wraps that sweet mouth around the head. With those magical lips, she proceeds to give me the best damn blowjob of my life.
She has the right touch, the right…everything. But before she can make me come, I push her back again because I want to see her face when I slide inside of her. I press her hands against the mattress and align myself with her hot, wet pussy—and then I freeze.
“Oh, fuck.”
“What?”
“Fuck, fuck, fuck.”
“What is it?”
I grit my teeth and close my eyes. “I don’t have a damn condom.”
I open my eyes and look down at her, finding a disappointed Remi.
“Oh. Yeah, that’s probably smart.”
I kiss her lips. Her neck. I nibble down to her breasts.
“I thought you said no condom?”
“Doesn’t mean we can’t do a whole host of other fun things.”
“But I came twice, and you—”
“I’m fine.” I push back up her body and kiss her lips, more gently this time. “Honest. I’m not a jerk or a kid. I can handle it.”
“On your back.”
I raise a brow. “Huh?”
“Get on your back, Seth.”
Who am I to argue?
I roll onto my back, and Remi gets to work, mimicking what I just did to her. She rubs me, kisses me, and when she makes her way down to my very hard cock, she settles in to drive me out of my fucking mind.
Lips and hands and then just a bit of teeth have me writhing and groaning until I come so hard, I’m pretty sure I lost consciousness.
But when I open my eyes, Remi’s smiling down at me.
“Hi,” she says.
“Hello. Am I dead?”
She snickers. “I don’t think so.” She pinches me.
“Ow!”
“Not dead.”
“Wow, I’m so glad I arranged for this snowstorm.”
She laughs and pulls her tee over her head. “Me, too.”
I right myself, leaving my pants unzipped, then get up to walk to a window that I managed to uncover earlier. It’s dark, the wind continues to howl, and it’s snowing so hard, it looks like we should have a Christmas tree in here.
When I turn back to look at Remi, she’s curled up on the mattress, her dark hair fanned behind her, and she’s sleeping.
My back aches as I roll over. Damn, did I fall off a horse again?
I crack my eyes open, and the events of yesterday flood back in: hiking up to find Remi and our night in the chalet.
When I look around, I see that Remi is gone.
I sit up and rub my hands over my eyes, then stand, throw on my shirt and shoes, and go off in search of the gorgeous brunette that I’m suddenly completely addicted to.
I don’t have to go far. I find her standing in the kitchen with a steaming mug of tea.
“I figured out the gas stove,” she says. “I lit it without blowing us up. Used some bottled water I found in the pantry.”
“I appreciate you not blowing us up.” I lean into her, the mug trapped between us, and help myself to her lips. They taste sweet. “You put sugar in your tea?”
“Just a little. I found a sugar packet in the pantry. It’s handy that they haven’t cleared it out yet this year.”
“Is there any hot water left?”
“Plenty,” she confirms. “Help yourself. I’m gonna step outside.”
She kisses my shoulder as she passes, and when she’s no longer in my view, I lean against the counter and take a deep breath.
I don’t think there’s been a time in my twenty-seven years that a woman has had such an impact on me. Emotionally or physically.
While my tea steeps, I nose around in the office and find a radio that I can use to talk to the ranger station.
I turn it on, and after several seconds, I’m talking to Roger, my boss.
“I’m glad to hear you’re okay,” he says. “What are the conditions? Over.”
“I haven’t been outside yet, but the wind is gone. I’ll go scout it out in just a few, over.”
“Let me know what you find out. If you need us to come up and help you down, we can do that. Over.”
“Thanks. I’ll be in touch. Out.”
I walk back to the kitchen, grab my tea, and open the back door.
And when I step outside, I stop dead in my tracks and stare in horror.
Chapter 4
~Remi~
“It’s okay,” I assure Seth calmly as we stare at the big grizzly sow currently standing about twenty feet away. “She and I have been talking. She’s not aggressive.”
“I want you inside, now.”
“Oh, I’m working on it, but I don’t want to startle her.”
“Look at me.”
I can’t. I can’t look away from her.
“Remi, damn it, look at me.” His voice is still low but firm. I risk a quick glance over, relieved to see that the door isn’t as far away as I thought it was when I first panicked and saw the bear. “Ease this way. I’ve got you.”
I swallow and smile at the bear. “Easy, girl. We’re not going to hurt you. We’re just going back inside, okay?”
I walk slowly to my right, and when Seth clasps my hand in his, my heart dislodges from my throat. When he pulls me inside and shuts the door, I let out a whoosh of air.
“That was an experience I don’t plan to have again.”
“You did so great.” He tugs me into his strong arms and hugs me close. “She could have turned aggressive. They’re eating and getting ready for hibernation. I should have thought of it.”
“I’m okay.” I pat his back and rub a soothing circle. “We’re okay. But we’ll have to hike down, and she’s around. Maybe we can just live here through the winter. Or until she goes into hibernation.”
His chest rumbles against my cheek as he laughs. “As fun as that sounds, I think we’ll be heading down later today. However, there’s a pretty big snowdrift covering the trail.”
“I saw that, too. Before Yogi’s wife came wandering over.”
“The trek is going to be treacherous for a few miles. I don’t know how far, to be honest. I’ll call down and get a plan going with my boss.”
“You have cell coverage up here?”
“No.” He kisses my forehead. “I found a CB radio and called down to the station to check in while you were outside talking to Mrs. Yogi.”
“Okay. I like that you can talk to other people and that we’re not just left to our own devices.”
“We would be fine even if we were,” he assures me. “Go enjoy your tea by the fire. I’ll figure out what the hell’s going on.”
“I don’t usually leave things in the hands of a man,” I admit as I walk away. “But in this particular situation, I’m fine with it. You get us handled, and I’ll be lazy. Until it’s time to hike down. Does this mean I can’t hike up to the glacier?”
I glance back and see his head whip up to stare at me in horror.
