CHAPTER SIX
Ethan
I shook my head in disbelief as I watched Elise snooze quietly beside me. The last thing I expected was to end the night with her in my bed, but sometimes the Christmas season liked to throw curveballs or, should I say, curvy snowballs into the mix.
And she was most definitely a curveball.
I couldn’t get enough of her, or her body, or her taste, and I knew my dirty talking drove her wild.
She was the perfect woman for me—a woman who wouldn’t give me shit about leaving town and might even fix a car as well as me. Okay, maybe that was a bit of a stretch. But she had me all up in my feelings and made me want to become domesticated and shit.
Elise stirred, and her eyes cracked open. When she saw me watching her, she smiled shyly and covered her face with her hands. “Please tell me I wasn’t snoring.” She peeked between two fingers.
I chuckled. “No.” I kissed her nose. “But I wouldn’t mind watching your plump lips wrap themselves around my cock.”
Elise giggled and nuzzled up next to me. “Such a naughty boy. What else did you have in mind?”
“When I’m ready to blow my load, I’ll toss you down on the bed, lick you from slit to crack, and then plunge my dick in so deep, you’ll feel me between your legs every time you walk for the next week.”
Elise wasn’t laughing anymore. Instead, her eyes took on a fiery, blazed look, and her tongue poked out between her lips. “Is that a promise?” she asked.
“Oh baby, it’s not just a promise. It’s reality.” In one swift movement, I lifted her on top of me, and she instantly took the hint, knowing exactly what to do. She slowly made her way down my body, and when she reached my eager cock, she teased me mercilessly with her tongue until finally taking me in her mouth.
Once she began licking, she couldn’t control herself and sucked me so hard, my hips bucked off the bed. They had a mind of their own as I thrust up and down and fucked her mouth. She gagged and spit on my dick, and I nearly lost my fucking mind.
Like I said before, when I was ready to blow my load, I’d toss her down on the bed, which was exactly what I did. I licked her from top to bottom and gave her what I called “the special,” where I ate out her pussy and licked her ass.
Elise cried out in pleasure as she ground her whole pussy against my face, her juices running down my beard, and when she exploded with an orgasm, she squirted, and I couldn’t believe it. A first for me and by the expression on her face, it was a first for her, too.
“Holy shit, holy shit,” Elise said as she flushed a deep red.
“Don’t be embarrassed. That was hot as fuck,” I said as I kissed my way up her voluptuous body and stopped at her breasts to give her nipples some attention.
I reached over to my nightstand drawer for a condom when her hand gripped my arm and stopped me. “I’m on the pill and clean. I want to feel my pussy gripping your cock.”
I froze. Did this gorgeous woman just say the most perfect words to me?
“I see my dirty words are wearing off on you.” I smirked as she blushed more. “I’m clean, baby, and you just made me the happiest man alive.” I wasted no more time and plunged my cock so deep inside, we both cried out in pleasure.
I’d die a happy man if my dick stayed buried inside her sweet, wet pussy.
It snowed for a full two days and left the town buried in about two feet of snow. Elise and I didn’t mind. With the entire town shut down, we spent those two days in bed, making love, watching Christmas movies, and eating whatever we could find in my kitchen.
At one point, we ventured next door to Elise’s cottage and raided her cabinets, which wasn’t an easy feat, considering nothing was shoveled. I almost lost Elise in a snowdrift, and when I found her laughing hysterically and covered in snow, I laughed so hard she pulled me down with her. If the damn snow wasn’t so cold, I would’ve made love to her right then and there.
Made love? What are you talking about?
Who the fuck was I kidding? I loved this woman.
I’d loved her since the day I saw her bent over her car.
But the last thing I wanted was to scare her off. The town Christmas party brought us together, and the snowstorm kept us in our little cocoon, but what would happen when we plowed ourselves out tomorrow and returned to regular life?
With Christmas next week, I decided I didn’t want to spend it alone again this year. I wanted to spend it with Elise. I wanted to spend every holiday with Elise. But how could I tell her without freaking her out?
Home Alone played on the TV, and we sipped hot cocoa and snuggled under the blankets in front of a roaring fire. The snow had stopped falling earlier this afternoon, so tomorrow would be spent digging us out.
“I don’t want to go back to real life tomorrow. I want to stay here with you in our Christmas love bubble.”
Her words warmed my heart. She felt the same way as me, and I shouted with excitement inside my head. “Christmas love bubble, hmm? I like the sound of that.” I kissed the top of her head and breathed in her scent I loved so much.
“You’ve done something to me, Ethan. I’ve never been this close to peppermint candy canes in my life.” She smirked and nodded at my cup, where a candy cane hung on the side. “Ew. It’s melting into your drink.”
I laughed. “You don’t know what you’re missing. But thank you for your great sacrifice. And you’ve done something to me, too, in case you weren’t aware.”
“Oh really?”
I put my mug on the coffee table and did the same with hers. Then I took her hands in mine and looked deep into her eyes. As scared as I was to confess my love, I knew I couldn’t hold it in any longer. I wanted her in my life. Every day, all the time. “You’ve managed to snag my heart, Elise. Please spend Christmas with me?”
Elise’s breath caught in her throat, and her eyes widened into large saucers. “Are you…are you saying…?”
I nodded. “Yes. I love you. I want to spend all my days with you.”
Elise’s mouth dropped open. She released my hands and stood abruptly. “Whoa. Wait a second…this is all happening so quickly, and I…” She wrung her hands together.
I got to my feet and placed my hands on her hips. “I’m sorry, I don’t want to upset you. You don’t have to say anything back…we can totally forget what I said and?—”
“Forget what you said? Are you crazy? I could never forget what you said.” Her eyes were wild as she wrapped her arms around my neck. “Okay, well, maybe this is all a little crazy, but if you’re crazy, then I’m crazy because I love you too, Ethan.”
Now, I was the one shocked. I searched her eyes and found such sincerity, such love, such warmth and home and loyalty that my heart burst. I kissed her long and slow and poured all of my love into it.
I lifted her into my arms, and she wrapped her legs around my waist. We kissed and kissed, and when we finally came up for air, she grinned down at me. “You taste like a peppermint, and for some reason, I can’t get enough.”
“I knew you’d come around eventually.” I leaned down and picked up a candy cane from the bowl on my table. “Want one?”
“You better get that thing away from me right now.” Elise screeched as she took it from my hand and tossed it behind her shoulder.
“Hey! That’s candy cane abuse!” I teased.
“Ha! It can handle a little rough play.”
“Oh yeah? You know what I think needs a little rough play?”
“You better say me.” Elise grinned before kissing me.
I slapped her ass and gently placed her down on the couch. “It’s definitely you, baby. Now spread that pretty pink pussy for me.”
This time, when I gave her the special, I kept a piece of minty candy cane in my mouth and brought her orgasm to another level. Elise was shocked when I told her. But maybe she would learn to love candy canes after all.
