MISSY

I woke up alone—the snow was still falling, the sky outside more silvery than gray. I wrapped myself in Jonathan's cashmere robe, stopping for a moment to enjoy its soft caress against my bare skin. Someday I'll have one of my very own. The smell of brewing coffee led me into the kitchen like the Pied Piper. Jonathan was leaning against the island, a steaming mug in hand, engrossed in the news story currently playing.

"It has to be late. May I have a cup of coffee? Then I'll get ready to get back," I said.

"Get back where? It's a state of emergency. The snow won't let up until late tonight, and they're saying it will top off at three feet or more. There's already eighteen inches on the ground."

"But you technically have a military transport . . . it can get through the snow."

"That's not the issue. Streets are closed to civilian vehicles. The National Guard is chauffeuring essential personnel. I'm sorry to say neither of us fall into that category. They've already closed campus until Tuesday. You're stuck with me." He handed me my coffee, perfectly sweetened. "We can get a head start on that project for Fabian if that makes you feel any better. As long as the Internet connection and power hold up."

"Power?" The storm was serious if there were worries about losing power. Growing up in Chicago, we never had a snow emergency that completely closed the roads.

"No power basically means no TV or appliances. The Drake has back-up generators to keep the steam heat up and running, so it's not all that dire. The fireplaces kick out a good bit of heat too. I'm sure we could find a way to entertain ourselves if we lose power. If I do say so, you couldn't pick a better place to be stranded."

He waggled his eyebrows as he popped me up onto the counter next to him, and we settled in to watch the continuing news bulletins and sip our coffee. It felt so domestic. And it's more than I bargained for.

Thanks to Mother Nature, I was in a snow-bound bubble with Jon Drazen, playing house. Our version of playing house included spontaneous spankings, orgasm denial, and a round of professor-student role-play that resulted in a broken ruler. Oddly, we were also able to get a lot of work done on our joint commentary project, selecting the themes and the featured works.

When we weren't working on our project, I was struggling with a provenance project for my conservation class that required the translation of a number of documents from French and Russian. Even with the translation software, the result was usually a hodgepodge of English that read like a coded message. The office area was a great place to work with the added bonus of the view—which for an hour during the day was Jon lifting weights in a pair of shorts and sneakers. I didn't get much done during that hour. What woman would? Watching him
