He lay there, struggling with a dilemma. If he woke her, they could have sex again. If he let her sleep, he could continue to watch and admire her. Both options were fantastic.
He decided to let her sleep. When she woke, he could have the second option then. He could be patient, even if it was growing increasingly hard to do so.
Her eyelids fluttered and she took a deep breath. One green eye peeked open and a slow smile filled her face. She ran her hand across his chest, smiling wider as she did so.
“I thought I might have dreamed you,” she said, her voice rough with sleep. The rasp was sexy as hell and his body instantly responded.
“I hope it was a good dream,” he replied, reaching over and stroking a stray strand of hair from her cheek. She hummed with pleasure as she leaned into his hand.
“Very,” she told him. And then she froze. Her eyes went wide and she sat straight up. “What time is it?”
“Does it matter?” he asked with a shrug.
“Check out is at ten-thirty.” She threw off the covers and then stared down at her naked body for a moment. “And I have work tomorrow.”
She picked up her phone, unlocking it and then sighing.
“It’s only nine.” She flopped back into bed, now scrolling through her messages. Her smile grew bigger. “And we’re snowbound. There is no checkout today.”
“Snowbound?” Nathan
repeated.
She nodded and jumped out of bed, full of energy. He liked that. He liked that energy and hoped she’d bring it back into the bed with her. Instead, she threw open the curtains, nearly blinding both of them with the sudden influx of brightness.
The world was solid white outside. The lifts weren’t running and even the edges of the windows were frosted with snow.
“Aliyah messaged me,” Holly explained. “We got so much snow last night that no one can leave. We’re staying an extra night.”
“So that means you don’t have to leave today?” he asked, suddenly no longer angry at the brightness outside. Not if it meant more time with her.
She shook her head, smile beaming. “Wanna hang out with me?”
“Hell yes.” He threw off the sheets and enjoyed her reaction to his nakedness. Her eyes widened and her lip sucked between her teeth as she smiled.
She giggled and jumped back into bed with him.
Best snow day ever.
They barely made it down to breakfast before closing time. Nathan was tempted to never leave the bed at all, but his body needed a little bit of recovery time. He was good, but he wasn’t a machine.
Holly stopped at her room on their way down to the restaurant. She looked just as amazing in her dress as she did the first time around, although he preferred her messy sex-hair to the fancy up-do of the night before. The soft look fit her better.
“I’ll be fast,” she told him, unlocking the door. “I’ll be right out. I’d let you in, but my roommate isn’t feeling well. And I’m not sure she’s dressed.”
He leaned against the hallway door as she hurried inside. Gregory emerged from a shadow to check in with him.
“Hey,” Nathan greeted him.
Gregory grunted.
“Yes, I had a fabulous night. And yes, she’s amazing. No, she’s not leaving today, and yes we will be going to the hot-spring later.”
Gregory nodded, pleased that Nathan had gotten all the nuance out of his message.
“She’s something else,” Nathan said.
“I like her. She’s good for you.”
