Chapter 6

Unwrapped

Aubrey

After five aborted attempts to climb the steep hill to my little apartment, Brax let his SUV slide down the icy street.

He kept calm as it skidded sideways, hit a curb, and finally came to rest on a sidewalk not far from the Grizzly Den. He backed it off the sidewalk and drove into the bar’s empty parking lot. Sitting back, he rubbed his brow.

“Fuck, that hill is a sheet of ice. We could walk…” Brax stopped suddenly and frowned as the wind picked up and swirled snow around us, limiting visibility and no doubt dropping in temperature. “Maybe not. Do you have your key?” He jerked his head toward the bar.

I nodded, not interested in trying that hill again, on foot or otherwise.

“Let’s go inside and wait it out.”

He grabbed my hand as we struggled through the knee-deep snow to the back door. A few seconds later we stood inside, kicking snow off our boots.

I’d turned down the heat before we left, but even as chilly as it was inside, it felt balmy compared to the blizzard outside. Walking across the room, I flipped on the gas fireplace and waved at Brax to join me. He threw off his coat and jogged across the room.

Sitting beside me where I huddled next to the warm fire, Brax slid my coat off my shoulders and tucked me against his side in gesture both possessive and protective. Wow, if this was how it felt to be Brax’s girlfriend, I wanted that job. But I so wasn’t qualified. There wasn’t a cheerleader or sorority-girl bone in my body. But tonight none of that mattered, because the storm had removed every other woman from the equation. Tonight it was all about us, and if one night was all I’d get from him, I’d take it and be grateful.

Turning me toward him, he nuzzled my neck, nipping here and there, marking me as his. I knew it was temporary, but for the next several hours I’d embrace oblivious denial. I slipped my hands under his sweater, running my palms over his rock-hard abs up toward his pecs.

He sucked a breath through his teeth. “You’re playing with fire, sweetheart.”

I slid my hands behind his back. “I’m counting on it.”

He cupped my ass in his palms and pulled me against his big body. “I want to see the rest of that tattoo,” he said, then swallowed and licked his lips. His gaze flicked downward to my breasts.

“Here?” Making out, yeah, I’d be up for that, but taking my clothes off in the bar? I’m not a prude. I’ve had my share of guys—not that I’ve slept around, but I’m well-travelled, and I like sex. A lot. I was pretty sure I’d really like sex with Brax. But, here? Now?

I’d be fucking crazy to agree to this, but sanity was overrated. I glanced toward the windows. A layer of snow covered the parking lot, and huge flakes swirled in the howling wind, already covering our footsteps. Not a soul stood on the street outside.
