Frozen Valentine Read online

“Fuckin’ said I didn’t, didn’t I?” he grinds out.

  Yes, he did say he didn’t. But then why did he push me away from him last night when he had the chance. I mean, I’d been right there, his for the taking and he set me away from him. And now here he is hovering over me and yet not doing anything. I’m sure his cock has to be screaming for release.

  I’ve heard my mother talking about how she’ll leave a man with blue balls if she doesn’t get what she wants from him first.

  “I’m sorry,” I mutter and divert my gaze to the side, fully embarrassed by this whole thing. “Can you get off me now?” I ask in a subdued tone.

  All I want to do right now is get out of this bed and hide in the bathroom for the remainder of the day and wish this whole scenario never happened.

  “No, I’m not getting off you. You don’t know me, Blake. I’m not a nice man but with you I’m trying to be a gentleman. I don’t know why you want to think something so fucked up, but I’ll tell you now. When I want something, I go for it. Never in my life have I wanted something so much I’d be a gentleman about it. Didn’t think I’d want it until this morning when I woke to you laying on top of me. Felt fuckin’ great,” Theo mutters and lifts a hand to grasp my chin and guides my face for me to meet his gaze.

  My eyes widen at his admission and my breathing becomes harder.

  What does he mean by he didn’t think he’d want it until this morning?

  I’m nothing special. If I were, I wouldn’t feel like I were nothing but a pawn.

  Theo leans forward, his lips brush against mine, and I gasp at the softness of his lips.

  I close my eyes, allowing myself to feel this moment. I’m sure this is just a fluke. But right now, I don’t care. This man, who I find to be the sexiest guy I’ve ever seen, is kissing me.

  Theo flicks his tongue out to trail along the seam of my mouth and I open for him without hesitation. He slips in between my lips and deepens the kiss with a groan of approval. One of his hands slide up under my nightie and pulls it up. Theo breaks the kiss long enough for him to remove the silk material from my body, then his lips come crashing back down on mine.

  Oh my.

  So this might not be my first kiss but damnit if it doesn’t feel that way. I want to feel more of him. I need to feel more of him.

  I tentatively reach up and wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer to me. He moves in as my body wants and in the process, he somehow maneuvers his cock to position at my entrance.

  Ready to slide in.

  Yes. Please do it.

  I move in a way to urge him to slide forward and when he does, it’s a good thing he’s kissing me, or the moans his mouth are absorbing would be me screaming due to the pleasure and pain shooting through my body. Theo pauses and rips his mouth from mine.

  “Fuck, bella. You should have stopped me,” he rasps.

  “Why? Then you would have stopped, and I want this,” I pant, meeting his gaze to find his staring at me in wonder.

  I’m not sure what to think of the surprise but I’m going with it.

  “Please don’t stop,” I say pleadingly.

  I don’t want him to stop.

  “Not gonna stop, Snowflake. But knowing this is your first time. Knowing I’m the first to take you. To claim your body means, you’re mine, baby, and I’m not giving you up. I don’t give a fuck what anyone says, you’re mine.”

  Theo shifts somewhat and slowly begins to rotate his hips and sinks the rest of the way in my depth. When he’s seated all the way into my sheath, he stops again.

  “You good, Snowflake?” he asks.

  I nod and meet his gaze. “Yes. It feels great.”

  I rotate my hips and Theo takes that as the go sign. Pulling back, he shoves forward with shorter thrusts as he groans.

  “Fuckin’ tight, baby. I don’t know how long I’m gonna last with you squeezing my cock,” he growls and picks up momentum.

  Theo reaches between us and teases my little nub which sends me skyrocketing into an orgasm unlike anything I’ve ever given myself.

  “Theo,” I cry out and rake my fingers across his shoulders.

  “Fuck yea, Blake, scream for me,” he demands as he picks up speed even more and groans. Theo pulls out and wraps a palm around his cock and pumps his cum all over my stomach. As he does this, I watch him in fascination.

  I lift my gaze from his cock when the last of his cum lands on my stomach, coating me in his seed. I meet his gaze and immediately forget how to breathe.

  “Mine, Snowflake. I’ve marked you now. No one else can have you. I won’t let them,” he snarls and lowers his mouth taking me in a blistering kiss.

  Chapter Seven

  Theo

  I fucked up and I don’t regret it for one minute.

  I should have gotten out of the bed when she spewed that shit about me dipping my cock into strange pussy while having a woman.

  Fuck that shit.

  I don’t know where she gets this sort of idea but fuck if I could keep myself from taking Blake. I shouldn’t have but I did and now she’s mine.

  All fuckin’ mine.

  Blake being a virgin meant no one ever touched her in the one place that now belongs solely to me. I’ll make sure she understands this. But first, I need to take care of her. I bet she’s probably hurting or sore at the least from me taking her. If I’d known she’d been a virgin, I could have gone easier on her.

  What am I saying? If I’d known she’d been a virgin, I’d have gotten out of the bed and run most likely. But something in me when I popped through her hymen, did something to me. I can’t describe it any other way than it being like a lightning bolt to the chest, jumpstarting a part of me I thought I didn’t have.

  My heart.

  I feel like a pussy for thinking it but it’s the truth.

  Liftin off Blake, I walk over to the en suite bathroom and turn the bath on. I add some bath salt to the water and go back into the room. I step straight up to the bed and grab the small woman who is now mine and lift her into my arms.

  “What are you doing?” she asks, surprised by my movement.

  “I’m taking care of you,” I state what I would see as the obvious.

  “You don’t need to do that. I can clean myself up,” she protests.

  “I know you can, Snowflake, but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna do it for you,” I declare and step into the bathroom and then straight into the tub. I set her on her feet and then usher her to sitting along with me. I pull her into my chest.

  “Um, I’m confused right now,” she says hesitantly.

  “I’m sure you are, Blake and we’ll talk about it. I’ll help you understand where we are,” I murmur, pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

  The change in what’s happening feels like lightning speed, but I don’t give a rat’s ass.

  I should be running for the hills right now, instead of being here with her. Holding her to me like she’s the most precious thing to me in the world.

  Silence surrounds the two of us. I grab a washcloth that’d been hanging on the rail next to the tub and wet it. I glide the rag against her skin careful not to hurt her in any way. She moans at my touch and the sound goes straight to my cock.

  Fuck, now isn’t the time to take her again.

  Blake wiggles against me and I groan. “Snowflake, you gotta be still,” I warn.

  “Why?” she asks, pulling herself from my arms and turning to face me. She situates herself until my legs are between hers and my cock is pressing at her entrance. It’s a good thing this tub is massive enough I can stretch out in it comfortably. Otherwise, I’d be fucked right about now.

  “Blake, I just took your virginity. You gotta be sore,” I state the obvious.

  “But what if I wanted more,” she murmurs, pressing down on my cock. The tip slipping into her heated sheath.

  I drop the cloth into the water and grip her hips. I guide her all the way until her ass cheeks are meeting my balls. “You want this,
then you take what I give you,” I mutter through clenched teeth. My control is barely hanging on by a thread.

  “I do want this,” she smiles sheepishly and leans forward, placing her hands on either side of my face. Blake’s mouth touches mine, her tongue slipping out and I open in invitation. I give her a brief second. I mean brief before taking over and devouring her mouth.

  With my hands locked on her hips, I control her movements and thrust up each time I pull her down on my cock. Her pussy is like heaven all in itself with how tight she clamps down on me. It’s as if she’s sucking me in each time I thrust into her.

  My balls tighten and I’m about to blow my load. I need to help her find hers. Breaking my mouth from hers, I lean forward and suck one of her nipples into my mouth and give it a nip.

  Blake cries out my name and fuck if her pussy doesn’t drain the cum straight out of my cock.

  “Fuck,” I groan when she finally stops coming. I’d never come as fast as I have when taking her it makes me feel like a fuckin’ teen when he first learns to hold his cock.

  Sigh, Blake slumps into my body sated by what I’ve given her.

  I hold her with my cock still seated inside her pussy as we catch our breath.

  The growling of Blake’s stomach is the only sound between us in this moment. Grinning, I press another kiss to the top of her head. “I better get you fed. Too bad we’d left the food out last night and not put it away. That soup was good.”

  “Oh crap, I can’t believe I didn’t put it away last night. I’m an idiot. At least I did turn the heat off of it. I’ll just have to throw it out and figure out something else to make. Maybe some chili,” she rambles.

  “How about we settle with something simple as a sandwich I make for the two of us and go from there?” I suggest.

  “That sounds good.” She nods in agreement lifting her head from my chest.

  I help her up and groan at the loss of her surrounding my cock. Standing, the two of us dry our bodies. I go to the dresser and pull out a pair of jeans. Leo and I wear the same size jeans, so it didn’t matter if either of us were needing them. I snag a shirt and pull it on and look to Blake to find her buttoning a flannel top.

  “Leave it like that Snowflake,” I order as she gets to the button right between her breasts.

  “But . . .” I shake my head to stop her protest.

  “Leave your shirt like that, bella. I wanna be able to see those beauties the entire day just like they are,” I inform her.

  “Um, okay,” she mutters, unsure of herself.

  Taking her hand in mine I guide her out to the main room of the cabin. I stop in the living room to light a fire while Blake goes to let Blue out to do her thing. She’s good with her dog and I’m glad she’s taking such good care of her.

  Soon the fire is going, and I stand back to my full height and go into the kitchen where Blake is already cleaning up the mess from last night. Maybe I should have cleaned it up before going to bed. I don’t know.

  I help Blake finish cleaning up without either of us speaking and then I slide her out of the kitchen. I make us some sandwiches ala De Luca. This is the only thing I know how to make. If it weren’t for Leanna, the housekeeper back home, I’d starve or be fat due to eating fast food all the time.

  I’m just glad I’m able to at least do this for the woman I’m claiming as mine. This reminds me. I need to call Christian not just for and update but to let him know about his sister and myself. Shit, I hope he doesn’t end up wanting to murder me when I tell him.

  Then after I speak to him, I’m going to speak to Blake. There’s no way I’m letting what she’s dealing with to continue. No fuckin’ way.

  Being mine means Blake is now a part of the De Lucas and no one fucks with a De Luca.

  No one.

  Chapter Eight

  Blake

  I never knew anything could feel so good. I thought I’d come out here and freeze out those I’m done with. To figure out the next step in my life. I never expected I’d be coming out here and finding myself giving my virginity to a man who I don’t know.

  One that my body desires to be with.

  Snap. Crackle. Pop

  My body is humming for Theo to take me again.

  His words swirl around in my head and though they confuse me, they also leave me feeling warm inside. I want to ask him what he means by me being his now, but I don’t know how. It’s all so much to take in at one time.

  “I can feel you thinking from all the way over here, Snowflake,” Theo says, breaking through my thoughts while placing a plate on the counter in front of me. Glancing down at it, I notice he’s made sandwiches with bacon and cheese melted together.

  Yum.

  “Umm, I honestly don’t know what to think,” I murmur, lifting my gaze up to meet his from across the counter. Even with the space between us it doesn’t stop my longing to launch myself at him.

  God, what’s wrong with me? Did he like snap something in me when he took my virginity? Is it normal to want him again so soon?

  “Blake, baby, eat and we’ll talk,” he says with a hint of amusement in his voice. The side of his lip quirks up and I’m left wondering if he knew what I’d been thinking.

  Impossible. He can’t know such a thing.

  Grabbing the plate, I move over to the couch closer to the fire he’d started while I’d let Blue out to do her thing. With it still snowing I hope we won’t run out of wood for the fireplace. I only brought in so much, not knowing how much I would need.

  I might want to check the weather app on my phone to see how much longer it’s supposed to be snowing.

  Oh crap.

  That reminds me.

  “Um, where’s your car, Theo?” I blurt out the question and take a bite out of my sandwich, doing my best not to moan at the flavors teasing my taste buds. Oh, I love it. He’s used some type of seasoning in it as well.

  “Car’s in the ditch up the road right after I turned down the lane. I’ll need to go down there when the snow lets up and see about getting it out,” Theo grumbles.

  “Do you want me to help?” I ask. He shouldn’t have to do it by himself.

  “No, Snowflake. I want you to stay in here where it’s warm. No reason for us both to be out there freezing our asses off.” Theo reaches out to brush a stray hair behind my ear as he says this.

  The gentleness of his touch surprises me.

  Neither of us says anything while we consume the rest of our sandwiches. He’d made me one and two for himself.

  Once done, I turn to sit on both my knees while facing him.

  “What do you mean by me now being yours?” I ask, allowing him to see the confusion on my face.

  Theo reaches out, puts both hands at my waist, lifts me up, and pulls me over until I’m straddling his lap. “If we’re having this talk, we’re doing it with you as close to me as possible.”

  “Um, okay,” I whisper and lick my suddenly dry lips. Theo’s eyes watch this movement, and I don’t miss the heated look he gets.

  “When you allowed me to take your virginity that was you giving yourself to me, Blake, and I don’t take that lightly. You could have told me but you didn’t. You wanted me to take it. There’s a connection between the two of us. I know you can feel it. I do as well. We’re going to see where you and I go from here. Meaning when we leave this cabin, it’ll be together,” Theo declares, his hands slide under my flannel shirt and run along my sides trailing his fingers across my skin.

  I at least have panties on this time around and there is a barrier between the two of us. Shoot, I honestly wish I didn’t have the thin material so he could simply open his jeans and slide himself right inside.

  Hmm, I like the idea.

  Stop. Stop. Stop.

  Get it together.

  Theo isn’t just a piece of meat.

  He’s right, there is a connection between the two of us. I’ve felt it from the moment I saw him. I didn’t want him out there in the freezing weather.
Didn’t matter to me at the time he’d been a stranger.

  He still is, for the most part, but the difference is I know I can trust him even if I’m upset with my brother for lying to me.

  But would I really want to go somewhere with him after leaving this cabin? Could I trust in his words that he’s not with another woman? I have to. I mean otherwise me allowing him to take me the way he did would be meaningless.

  My mind is warped because of my parents and the way they live their lives. I’m not meant to live any sort of way but as they want me to.

  Leaving this cabin and going with Theo would mean I escape their precious hold on my life. I could be free of them.

  “Where would we be going?” I ask out of curiosity.

  “Home, where you should have been all along.” My brows furrow at his answer.

  “I’m not sure I understand what you mean about it being where I should’ve been all along,” I say, needing him to clarify.

  “I mean, Snowflake. You should have been at my home all along since that is where your brother lives as well,” Theo murmurs, his hands coming out from under my shirt to reach up and cup either side of my face. “You don’t have anything holding you back, do you?”

  Do I?

  At my apartment, I only have my personal belongings I keep hidden out of sight so my mother doesn’t see them. My laptop is there as well with all my books. Those are the only things I would want. I could easily get them and leave the rest behind. As for my parents, I could care less if I saw them again. I’m not worried about them.

  “No, there’s nothing for me to go home for other than a few personal belongings I want to be able to keep,” I utter the words slightly breathless.

  “Good, then we’ll get it out of there. Make a list and I’ll give it to your brother, he’ll make sure to send someone to get what you want.”

  “Um, I don’t know. Maybe I should go get my stuff myself, Theo, I don’t want to cause trouble for my brother if our parents end up showing up.” And I didn’t. It’s bad enough I have to deal with their phone calls and such, Christian doesn’t need the headache.
