Mountain Man's Baby: A Best Friend's Brother Romance Page 4


  I slipped her legs over my shoulders and bent forward, pinning her to the bed.

  “Yes! Nathan!”

  “That’s it. Come for me, Jenny. Soak my cock. You can do it. I know you can. Do it for me, beautiful girl.”

  I pounded into her and lost myself in her warmth. Her pussy fluttered around me as her back arched. I buried my face into her tits, kissing and sucking and tasting every part of her I could. Goose bumps covered my body as her pussy clamped down onto me, holding me in a grip that stilled my hips.

  “I’m coming. I’m coming. I’m coming,” she chanted.

  But I couldn’t say a damn word, even though my jaw unhinged.

  Her legs slipped from my shoulders as her body trembled for me. Her pussy massaged me, pulling my release from my balls as I collapsed on top of her. She wrapped her arms around me, digging her nails into my back as the muscles twitched and shivered for her. I gasped for air in the crook of her neck. The room tilted and spun around me as my cock filled her to the brim until our intermingled juices shot from between her legs as I continued to fill her up.

  Never in my life had I orgasmed that hard with a woman.

  “Wow, Nathan,” she whispered.

  “What the fuck?” I asked breathlessly.

  She giggled, and the sound blanketed me in a comfort that relaxed me further against her.

  “I got you. I got you,” she whispered.

  I remained there on top of her, both of us covered in sweat. She peppered kisses along my cheek, then slowly massaged my back with her fingertips. I felt my eyes closing. I felt myself slipping permanently into her comfort. Even as my cock dwindled and slid out from between her legs, not once did she push me away.

  “I really have to take a shower, otherwise everyone will know what I’ve been doing,” Jenny said.

  I found the strength to roll off her and slid until I sat on the floor. She giggled as she stood up, walking on wobbling legs to my bathroom. I closed my eyes and hung my head, feeling my euphoria spiral me into yet another lustful venture for her body. When my eyes popped open, I heard Jenny humming in the bathroom.

  And the only thing I thought about was her soaping up those luscious curves.

  I walked into the bathroom and slid the shower door open. Jenny squealed and jumped around, and I chuckled as I helped myself to the hot stream of water. She looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes. My cock hardened as I slid the door closed, then reached down and grabbed her thighs.

  “What are you—Nathan!”

  “I need you again,” I growled.

  I paused, waiting for her to tell me no. Waiting for her to push me away. But instead, she reached forward and captured my lips.

  I pinned her to the shower wall and slid my cock effortlessly into her body. She wrapped around me tightly, burying herself into my neck. I rocked against her slowly, grinding my pelvis into her clit, feeling her jump and moan with delight. The hot water battered against my back as her pussy clamped down around me. I pounded into her faster, pressing my hands into the shower wall to keep myself upright.

  I felt my balls filling. I felt fire rushing through the marrow of my bones. I felt Jenny gasping for air and whimpering my name as her nails clawed against my skin.

  “Mark me, Jenny. Mark me all you want.”

  I unleashed the feral animal within me and slammed into her body. Her head flew back into the shower wall and she wailed out my name, her pussy pulsing around me for a second time. I thrusted into her, milking her orgasm as she pulled me to yet another precipice. I emptied myself into her body as the steam of the water swirled around us, cutting us off from the outside world.

  And when she collapsed against me, I held her close to my form.

  “I gotcha. I gotcha, Jenny,” I murmured.

  The two of us finally got cleaned up and out of the shower. It pained me to see her cover that wondrous body in clothes. But I knew she had to. I led her to the door and crooked my finger underneath her chin, pulling her lips to mine.

  I kissed her softly, with a tenderness I’d never shown any woman afterward.

  “I had a good time,” Jenny whispered.

  I watched her eyes flutter open, and I grinned down at her.

  “But you know that’s all that was,” she said.

  The line stung a little, but I knew it was coming. Usually, I was the one saying it. I rejoiced in the fact that we were on the same page, though. I nodded softly and kissed her forehead, then opened the door.

  I ushered her through it as a feeling of melancholy settled over me.

  I listened as the door closed and the elevator dinged open, then closed and carried Jenny away. I went and collapsed into bed, surrounded by her scent and the ghost of her voice. I tossed and turned all night, despite trying to get her out of my system. And when I woke up the next morning, she was still there. In my thoughts. In my imagination.

  Naked, and vulnerable, and perfect.

  “One more night,” I said.

  I slipped out of bed and threw on a new change of clothes.

  “One more night is all I need,” I said.

  Even though it went against my rules and even though it went against my better judgment, I needed one more taste. One last moment with her, and then I’d call it quits. I’d let her go on and live her life, and I could continue mine.

  All I needed was one last slice of her.

  Of the angel that had captivated me on the slopes.

  Chapter 8

  Jenny

  As I stood at the top of the ski slope, I drew in a deep breath. My body was ready for another thrilling descent. I laughed as Amber trekked herself up to the beginning of the slope, and she looked more comfortable than I ever would on these things. I mean, I was confident in my abilities, but Amber was on a completely different level than the rest of us. She pushed herself over the crest of the slope with ease, and as I peered over the side I saw her slicing through the snow like a professional.

  How long had this girl been skiing again?

  I followed after her, my eyes on the path Amber was tearing through the snow. My ski poles guided me and kept me steady on my feet, and I crouched down to feel the wind whipping against my face and around my body. I felt free, careening down that mountain. Adrenaline rushed through my veins.

  But the descent wasn’t nearly as exciting as last night.

  Nathan’s a much more thrilling ride.

  I giggled to myself as a smile crossed my face. It was true, though! I took the turns down the mountain with ease, gaining ground on Amber as my eyes locked onto her.

  “I’m coming for you!” I called out.

  “Help! Help me! Someone!”

  Amber turned her head around, and I skidded to a stop to look up the mountain, but all I saw was a puff of white coming at me, like a miniature avalanche. I heard Sara screaming as ski poles got tossed into the air. I felt Amber rush by me, going to retrieve them as one of Sara’s skis came completely off her damn foot.

  “Sara!” I exclaimed.

  I braced myself for the impact and caught Sara’s body. I dug my poles into the snow and dragged us to a stop just before we slammed into some trees. Sara whimpered as I reached down to rip her other ski off her foot. Amber came up to us with Sara’s ski poles in her hand and her face mask ripped down so she could talk.

  I followed in suit as Amber tried to help her up.

  “Sara, are you okay?” I asked.

  “Let’s get her onto the snowmobile.”

  I turned my head and saw Luke had pulled up to us with a snowmobile. In all the tumbling and the screaming and the snow flying up, I hadn’t even heard him pull up on the damn thing. It was like he had appeared out of nowhere, ready to help. I unlocked myself out of my skis to help, but Luke was there first. He scooped her up like some kind of hero and shooed me away when I tried to help get her onto the back of the vehicle.

  Fine. Suit yourself.

  “What are your names?” Luke asked.

  It took
me a second to realize he was talking to us, because I was too focused on the pain my best friend was obviously in.

  “I’m Amber.”

  “And I’m Jenny,” I said breathlessly.

  “Can you two make it down without killing yourselves?” he asked.

  “I didn’t kill myself,” Sara murmured.

  “Yes, we can,” I said.

  “We’re fine,” Amber said.

  “Good. See you girls at the bottom. Hang on to me, Sara. Okay?” he asked.

  “I’m fine, Lu—”

  “Hang on and be quiet,” he said.

  My eyebrows hiked up as he stopped Sara in her tracks. I’d never seen anyone address her like that before. Luke rushed off with the snowmobile, leaving me and Amber to haul Sara’s things back down the mountain. I buckled myself back into my skis and picked up Sara’s, and Amber grabbed Sara’s ski poles.

  “Ready?” I asked.

  Amber shrugged. “Let’s get back to the lodge.”

  We made our way slowly down the mountain and turned in all our gear. I looked around for Sara as I followed Amber back into the lobby. I wasn’t sure where the hell Luke had taken her. Was there an infirmary on the grounds or something like that?

  Maybe the front desk would know.

  “Well, hello hello,” Nathan said.

  I looked over at him as I walked up to the front desk. He had on this sultry smile, one that ruffled my gut a little too much. I forced myself to ignore it, though.

  There were other more important things to tend to.

  “Sara was hurt on the slopes,” I said.

  Nathan’s face fell. “What?”

  “She took a tumble on the mountain, and I had to stop her before she crashed into some trees.”

  “Where is she?”

  “I was hoping the front desk could tell us that,” I said.

  “No, we need to head to ski patrol. Hunter is the captain. He’ll know—”

  “Luke came up there with a snowmobile. Where would he have taken her?” I asked.

  I watched Nathan frown deeply.

  “Luke isn’t part of the ski patrol,” he said.

  “I figured as much. He wasn’t dressed in any gear when he came rushing to the rescue. Do you know where—?”

  Nathan brushed past me, but I wasn’t letting him get away from me like that. I wanted to know where the hell my best friend was. I reached out and gripped his arm, whipping him around to face me.

  “Where is she?” I asked.

  “That’s what I'm trying to figure out, if you’d let me go,” he said curtly.

  He ripped his arm away from my grasp, and I felt lonely, watching him walk away. Amber approached my side and wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me into a hug. My head fell to her shoulder. I wanted to know what was going on with my best friend.

  “She’ll be okay. Let them take care of her, then we’ll go find her. Okay?” she asked.

  “Sure,” I murmured.

  “Up for some hot chocolate?”

  “Sounds good,” I said, sighing.

  The two of us headed to the cafe, where we ordered two hot chocolates. We both sat down at a small table in the corner, but I wasn’t very thirsty. I kept looking past Amber and out into the lobby, waiting for Luke or Nathan to come looking for us. My leg jiggled with nerves as my eyes darted around. But when they finally landed back on Amber, I found her distracted.

  I followed her gaze and found my friend staring at a very handsome man in a red jacket that donned the Ski Patrol logo.

  “Why don’t you go up and talk to him?” I asked.

  My eyebrows hiked up as Amber shook her head quickly.

  “No, no. I can’t do that,” she said.

  “Well, why not? I’ve never seen you interested in a guy, much less stare one down,” I said.

  “Doesn’t mean I should go talk to him,” she said, snickering.

  “I could help, if you want.”

  She blushed. “Please don’t. Just… can we talk about something else?”

  Amber looked down into her cup, but I caught the last fleeting glance she stole of the man in the red jacket. And it was enough for me to log that venture away in the back of my mind for another opening this weekend.

  “What do you want to talk about?” I asked.

  Amber grinned. “What about that nice little smile Sara’s brother tossed you earlier?”

  “You mean before I told him Sara had gotten hurt?”

  “That’s the one. Don’t think I didn’t notice.”

  “It was just a smile.”

  She quirked an eyebrow. “Do you have plans to see him again?”

  My jaw dropped open as a flush took over my cheeks. How the hell did she know about that?

  “I heard you leave last night before you came back much later,” Amber said, giggling.

  “Were you stalking me, Miss Amber?” I asked.

  “I’m a light sleeper, Jenny. Always have been. Plus, I saw that kiss Nathan gave you by the bathrooms yesterday.”

  “You what?” I asked.

  “I had to pee, too! And, I mean, you two were right there. It was kind of out in the open.”

  “Did Sara see?”

  “No. Not at all. But, it doesn’t take much to put two and two together. You went and saw Nathan last night, didn’t you?”

  “And I thought I was the accountant,” I said, grumbling.

  “I think you and Nathan would make a cute couple,” she said.

  I frowned. “That would be the problem, too.”

  “Wait, what? Why?”

  I shrugged. “Because I can’t afford to be a ‘couple’ to anyone right now.”

  “Maybe you could after you graduate this summer.”

  “Not in my plans.”

  “Well, sometimes plans change,” she said.

  “Not if I want to achieve my dreams, they better not,” I said.

  “Maybe you could—”

  “Subject change?” I asked.

  Amber sighed. “Okay. How are your accountant classes coming along?”

  “They’re fine,” I murmured.

  Then, Amber and I spent the rest of our hot chocolate date in silence.

  Chapter 9

  Nathan

  I sucked air through my teeth as I walked out to the house where the girls were staying—the three-bedroom house at the edge of the property that the girls had been upgraded to. I still didn’t know how that had happened. I didn’t know how anything had fucking happened over the past couple of days. After charging through the lobby and seeking out counsel with one of the ski patrol attendants, I figured out that Luke had hauled my sister’s ass into his hotel room and called for Hunter’s assistance.

  His fucking hotel room.

  I found my sister there, with Luke babying her like she was some precious little doll. Her ankle was wrapped, and evidence of Hunter’s presence was in the room. But I didn’t see the captain of the ski patrol there. Just Luke and my sister, behind closed fucking doors.

  I didn’t like it. I didn’t like my sister being alone with some guy who had eight-plus years on her. But Luke was my best friend, and I trusted him to take care of my sister. To watch out for her, above all else.

  Like he promised me he would.

  The only good thing about Luke watching over my sister in his room was the fact that I had more time to spend with Jenny. Things had been interrupted in the lobby, but I wasn’t going to let that be the last time I interacted with her. I had messages to deliver to the girls, and then I had a mission to accomplish.

  I walked up to the front door of the renovated luxury house and knocked on the door.

  “Who is it?”

  Jenny’s voice floated through the doorway, and I grinned.

  “Delivery boy,” I said coyly.

  She opened the door slowly and peeked out. Her hair was pulled tightly back into a braid, and her blue eyes sparkled for me. I propped myself against my hand outside, ignoring how cold the outsid
e of the house was in favor of looking relaxed and confident in what I was doing there.

  “Is Sara okay?” she asked.

  “She’s fine. She’s got an ankle sprain and she can’t put any weight on it for a little while, but she’s okay,” I said.

  “Is she coming back to the house?”

  “Not for now. Luke’s keeping her overnight to watch over her. She’ll probably be back tomorrow once they can get some pain medication in her.”

  “That’s good,” she said.

  Jenny opened the door wider and my eyes darted around the expansive space behind her. Damn, the house looked good. There were five of them on the property. All of them, expensive as fuck to rent out. Of course, we had plenty of people doing it. I just wasn’t sure how the girls had scored one without some insane charge to my credit card.

  “So, where’s your friend?” I asked.

  “Amber?” she asked.

  “Yes. Her.”

  “She uh, she went back out to the slopes, actually. We had some hot chocolate, and then—”

  I didn’t even bother letting her finish her sentence. I stepped up to her, wrapping my arm around her waist. I pulled her into me and let my lips fall to hers, grinning as she moaned against me. I slipped my tongue across the slit of her lips as I backed her into the house. I reached out with my free hand and closed the door, then turned Jenny around and pinned her to the wall of the entryway.

  I felt her melt into me as our tongues collided, her body rolling against mine in perfect fashion.

  “You taste like heaven,” I murmured.

  “Nathan, we can’t,” Jenny said.

  Her hands pressed against my chest, and my eyes ripped open.

  “Why not?” I asked.

  “Because it’s just fun. Just this weekend. I can’t—”

  “I’m not asking for anything past this weekend. I’m not looking for anything like that, Jenny. I just want to have as much fun with you as we can have this weekend. That’s it.”
