When he pulls into the driveway, I notice nizable It’s so covered with snow, you can’t even tell what color it is “Stay there I’ll help you out,” he says before shutting off the truck He grabs his duffel bag froer side I take his offered hand and carefully hop out of the truck, wishing like hell I had purchased a pair of snow boots today The cold, wet snow quickly seeps into my tennis shoes as we scramble for the back door

Colton lets us in, and we both stomp our feet and shake off the snow I toe off my wet shoes and set theers find my coat zipper as I start to relance at Colton, I find hi there, his own boots off and his coat in his hand Without breaking eye contact, he tosses his coat onto the dryer and reaches forhis body againstmachine

His lips are eager and fir down to cuparound his waist Colton wastes no tih the house to his bedroom

The moment we cross the threshold, I’m assaulted by his familiar scent It wraps around me warmly, and full of familiarity, the same as his body is withon the conizable ache bubbles to life as he rocks into me, his erection firmly between us

When he slows the kiss, I use the opportunity to pull my lips from his and slide them across his jaw The bite of his stubble is like a bucket of gasoline to an already raging inferno I have no control overwhen I say, “We’re wearing too many clothes”

I’m never the bold one

His blue eyes burn even darker “I do believe you’re right”

I slip off my pants and wet socks and set them on the counter When I turn around, I see the toddler seat in the tub and the yellow rubber ducky on the ledge There’s a s beside men’s shampoo Axe bodywash sits beside a bottle of Johnson’s Baby Wash A wide smile breaks out onhis way right into my heart And his father?
