CHAPTER 14

The evening air was cold, yet the charcoal-colored sky was clear, stars and satellites winking against the stark, nearly black canvas. Dani grabbed Jason’s hand as they left Angie’s Cafe. Dinner had not been the private time Jason expected when Miguel Santos and his partner Carl Roberts walked in, saw them, and joined their table. The four of them shared a bottle of wine, and the conversation was wild and hilarious, especially after Dani discovered Carl was a writer of cozy mysteries and his pen name was one of her mother’s favorites.

When it came time to pay the bill, Carl snatched the check and gave his card to Angie, telling Dani that he was paying for the inspiration she’d given him for the next series he needed to write.

The quiet walk to the inn was peaceful, and Dani smiled when the first snowflakes began to fall. Her smile faded once the cold seeped past her clothing and settled into her skin. She shivered. “Come on, Jason. I’m not dressed for snow, and it’s freezing.”

She tugged him as she ran toward the inn. What had kept her warm on their walk over to Angie’s, a Henley shirt, a thick sweater, and jeans, were all that stood between her and a featured role as a snow girl in some animated movie. A chunk of snow dropped from a tree branch onto her head.

Her growl echoed in the night air as she angrily brushed the frozen ice from her head. Jason’s laughter disrupted the quiet a second time, and she snarled, “Not funny, Graywolf.”

“Sorry, DS.” He halted when they were a couple of yards from the inn and swooped her up in his arms. She flung her arms around his neck as he hurried up the steps onto the porch. “You got the key?” he asked.

“Wait a minute.” She struggled to get the key from her jean pocket. “Put me down, please. I can’t reach it.”

Jason released her, and she slid down his body with a slowness that had his dick semi-hard in seconds. Ruthlessly, she dragged her palm across the front of his jeans before she reached into her pocket and extracted the key to unlock the front door. Warm heat enveloped them as soon as they stepped inside.

“Now, this is more like it,” she murmured.

She waited for him at the top of the staircase while he relocked the inn’s front door. When he reached her side, he tapped her nose. “We’re going to have to get you some serious winter clothes, Counselor Price. Otherwise, you’re never leaving this place.”

“Yep.”

Jason opened the door to the suite, and she entered the living room. The waning moon cast a soft shadow over the area, and she wanted to keep it that way long enough for her to steal several kisses from him. He blinked when she flicked on the switch for the fireplace and then the one for the chandelier. He joined her beside the coffee table, where a bottle of wine, a covered dish with nuts and dried fruit, and several bags of popcorn sat on its surface.
