“Please,” I breathed out. “Don’t send me away. Let me stay with you. Just this one night, let me be a part of something good in your life.”
“Yes,” was her quiet reply.
I held out my hand, and she led me to her room.
Dim light cast shadows on the walls. Her bed shimmered in the glow. Callie’s eyes were wide and dark, but for the first time since I had met her, they weren’t sad. Desire and lust filled her gaze, matching the beat of need I was feeling for her. We came together, our mouths fused, our bodies pressed together. Clothing fell away, my eager fingers finding purchase on her silky skin. Under me, she was pale and soft against the vivid holiday colors of her bedding. Her hair was spread out—a shimmering wave of chestnut against the pillows.
I discovered all the sweet secrets of her little body. The indent of her waist, the subtle flare of her hips. The lushness of her breasts. The way she tasted under my tongue. Felt under my touch. Sounded as she lost herself to pleasure. Her touch made me shiver, the way she stroked and caressed me. Gripped at my waist as we moved. Wrapped her legs around my hips, our bodies aligned perfectly. Kissed me as if she couldn’t get enough of me.
I couldn’t get enough of her.
I groaned my orgasm into her neck. She cried out my name in the quiet of the room. We rested together, wrapped up in the ecstasy of the moment. Callie lay on my chest with her head nestled under my chin. I ran my hand up and down her back, gently tracing the bumps and ridges of her spine.
“Not how I expected my Christmas Eve to end,” I teased, pressing a kiss to her head. “I thought I’d be alone in my room or stuck in a snowstorm somewhere.”
“I’m glad you’re here.”
“Me too.” Then I chuckled. “I’m glad you remembered the Christmas condoms you had in stock.”
Callie giggled, and I felt the heat of her blush as she pressed her face to my chest. It had been almost comical when we’d realized neither of us was prepared. I hadn’t bothered since I was going to see my family, and Callie had confessed she hadn’t been with anyone for a long time, so she didn’t keep any on hand. Then her eyes had grown round, and she’d dashed from the room, returning with a handful of Christmas condoms.
“I ordered these on a whim!” she exclaimed with a silly grin. “I got them as joke gifts for some of my quirkier customers. Some of them are even glow-in-the-dark!”
I grabbed one. “Joke’s on them,” I growled and ripped it open. The bright red and green colors made me laugh, but they worked. God, did they work.
And I planned to use as many of them as I could.
She peeked up at me, her expression mischievous. “We should try a glow-in-the-dark one to see if it works.”
“Why, Miss James.” I grinned and rolled over, taking her with me, pinning her under my chest. “You little hussy. Are you propositioning me?”
“It’s strictly for quality assurance purposes,” she insisted, her eyes dancing. “I take my job as a shop owner very seriously.”
I threw back my head in laughter. “Insatiable,” I muttered as she tilted up her hips, her warmth brushing against my growing erection.
She hummed in agreement, flinging a leg over my hips, making me hiss in pleasure at the feel of her.
I had a feeling we were both insatiable.
And we only had one night to quench that thirst.
Hours later, I finished brushing the snow off my rented SUV. I was exhausted—even more so than I had been the night before. I hadn’t been able to keep my hands off Callie all night. It seemed she felt the same way. One of us would begin to drift, and the other would start with the touching, and then another condom got used.
Five in total. I was quite proud of that number. I’d take the exhaustion—my body had never felt as alive as it had the past hours spent with Callie.
It came to a screeching halt when my cell phone chirped a message from my sister telling me the weather had cleared enough that the roads were open, but another storm was coming so I needed to leave as soon as possible. Callie smiled sadly when I showed her the message, slipping from her bed to get ready to leave.
“We need to get you organized.”
I grabbed a shower, dressed, and met her in the shop. My gifts were ready, Callie bundled up in a parka. She followed me out, handing me a thermal mug emblazoned with Toys and Treasures on the side, filled with coffee.
“To keep you awake.”
“Thank you.”
“You have to get your things at the inn?”
