the future, Stephen, I’m only concerned about right now.”
Stephen took her to him, reveling in the contact of her bare skin with his. Living in the moment was fine, but it wasn’t enough. He did care about the future, and he wanted to spend it with Audrey. There was more going on inside her head than simply deciding between two men. That much was obvious, but as for the details, only Audrey knew, and she wasn’t telling. His time was running out, and he had failed make his case. The only thing he could do was play along and look for any opportunity to convince her that he was the right choice. “Okay, fine. Right or wrong, we’ll spend the time we have left in each other’s arms.”
“Until the snow stops.”
“Yeah, until the snow stops. To hell with what happens after that. All that matters is the present. Do you want to take a shower with me?”
She shot him a pouty grin and nodded. “Yes, I’d like that.”
He drew a deep breath and blew it out forcefully. “Well, get in.”
Stephen watched as Audrey stepped into the shower, bent over, and picked up the soap. She turned and handed it to him. “Wash me.”
“ Um .” His voice cracked as he tried to speak. He cleared his throat and started again. “Wash what, your back?”
“My body, Stephen. All of it.”
He joined her in the shower, soaping his hands. “Okay, but I’m starting with the fun parts, so this is your only chance to change your mind.”
“I won’t change my mind.” Audrey turned her back to Stephen and pressed herself against him. He reached around, soaped her breasts, and washed them over and over, eventually making his way down to her other fun parts.
Stephen took a seat on the toilet lid, and Audrey leaned against the vanity as they dried themselves. He opened his mouth, but she put a finger to her lips.
“ Shh. Please don’t ask questions.”
She dropped her towel and strutted slowly over to stand in front of him. Stephen placed his hands on her waist and turned his gaze up to meet hers. She straddled his lap and sat face-to-face with him, pressing her crotch down firmly against his. The contact of her moist flesh made him throb with anticipation.
“Aren’t you enjoying this, Stephen? There’s something about getting so close to you, knowing we can’t have sex, that makes me crazy hot. What do you think most guys would do right now, in this exact situation?” Audrey wiggled from side to side.
Stephen pulled her tightly onto him, ran his hands around to her bare bottom, and massaged it. “I’m thinking they’d probably do what I really, really want to do.”
She drew a quick breath, shuttering slightly. “Even though I said we can’t?”
“Maybe.” He pressed his eyes tightly closed as she rotated her hips around in little circles. “Audrey, a guy can only take so much teasing. I hit my breaking point in the shower while you were soaping my...”
She put a finger to his lips. “I’ve hit my breaking point too.”
Stephen opened his eyes to find himself locked in her gaze. Audrey tugged the engagement ring from her finger and set it on vanity. The little metallic clink it made sent his heart racing. The moment he had been waiting for since he first laid eyes upon her had finally arrived. The intense longing and constant frustration of the last days were about to culminate in a burst of mind-shattering passion. He wondered how long he’d be able to last after all the torment she’d put him through and hoped she was as close to the brink as he. She pressed her lips to his, sliding her slippery flesh along the length of his shaft toward the tip.
The telephone in the main room rang, echoing loudly in the extremely quiet cabin. Audrey squealed as she and Stephen both jumped. “Oh my God, that scared the piss out of me.” She squeezed him and laughed.
He nodded, grinning at her. “Yeah, I noticed that I’m awfully warm and wet right where you’re sitting.”
She playfully shoved his shoulder and
