Lee held a branch out of the way for Brooke so she could pass safely on the trail. It was hard to believe he was sharing this with her. Hiking was his solitude. Now it included her.

They walked, avoiding the deeper snow drifts and watching the birds try to find food in the ice.

“I can’t get over how beautiful it is out here,” she said.

Lee nodded. “It is.”

“And you own all of this?” She stopped to take in the view from the mountainside.

He watched her. Her cheeks were rosy and her lips a dark red. She looked like she belonged her. A true snow bunny. Sexy and gorgeous.

“We do,” he replied.

They continued to walk. “It’s cold, but I like it.”

“Me too.” He smiled, wondering how he could touch her all bundled up in layers of sweaters and coats.

“I understand why you keep mentioning why you want to stay here. Do you think you will?” she asked.

He shook his head. “It made sense to take a break from StarCon, but it doesn’t make sense to stay away.”

“Do you ever think about leaving the company?”

He stopped in the middle of the trail. They were close to one his favorite hunting cabins. He could see it over the hill.

“No. I couldn’t do that to Ty. We’ve built it from the ground up.”

“But if you aren’t happy, Lee. Why stay?”

He scowled. “Who said I’m not happy?”

“It’s just, you seem frustrated, or something.” She frowned. “Did I say something.”

“No.” He shook his head. He headed in the direction of the hunting cabin. Brooke followed him.

“Is something wrong?” Brooke asked as they hiked deeper into the woods. Everything was silent around them. “Are you sure you aren’t mad?”

He turned to face her. “Yes. Something is very wrong.” He crushed his lips into hers. “You’re all I can think about.” He came up for air. His hands tangled through her long hair, pulling the knit beanie from her head. “I want to be inside you again, Brooke. It’s all I can think about.”

“Oh shit. Me too. But I was afraid to say anything.”

He laughed. “Never be afraid to tell me that. Ever.”

He tugged on her hand, drawing her to the cabin. “I have a solution to our problem.”

Her eyes widened as they walked inside. “What is this place?”

“A retreat within my retreat. Give me five minutes and I’ll warm it up for you.”

He threw a stack of logs into the fireplace and crouched to start the kindling. Within seconds it caught and a small flame started. Lee stood and lit several candles next to the couch.

“You’ll be warm in a minute.”

She nodded, biting her lip.

That move drove him crazy. He pulled her into his arms, kissing her fiercely. She purred under his tongue. “I love your little man cave.”

He laughed. “It’s not a man cave.”

“Then what do you call it?” She slid out of her snow jacket.

He reached for the buckle on his pants. “It’s getting ready to be the very exclusive fuck shack.”

She giggled. “For me?”

The logs began to pop and sizzle as the fire caught and started to blaze. Lee led her to the bearskin rug in front.

“This is most definitely for you, baby.”

She whimpered. “I want you, Lee.”

“More than I want you?”

She nodded, eager for the same thing. She reached toward his zipper, letting her palm slide over the full length of his shaft. He groaned, knowing she could take him to his knees. She pumped her fist over his cock, drawing it to its thickest width.

“Fuck,” he growled. “Everything you do…”

“What?” she whispered.

He shoved his pants to the floor.

“Makes me want to bury myself in your ass. So deep, baby.”

She whimpered. “Now? Right now?”

He shook his head. He had detected a slight hint of fear in her voice. “Not yet. It’s going to be perfect when it happens. We’ll make sure you’re ready.”

She sought his lips again, throwing her arms around his neck. His hand roamed over her back, trailing between her legs. He grinned. She wasn’t wearing her panties.

“Such a dirty girl.” He waggled his eyebrows.

He gripped her hips, hoisting her around his waist. As soon as his dick was coated in her hot wet juices he groaned. He lowered her to the floor, pressing her back against the fluffy rug.

Missionary wasn’t his thing, but right now, he wanted to look in her eyes when he fucked her. He wanted to see her reaction when she came.

Her legs fell open, begging him to take her.

Lee didn’t wait, he pushed his cock inside her heated pussy. Brooke reared back, crying out as he sank into her.

“Oh shit,” she hissed. “You’re so big, Lee. You feel so good.”

He knew she was probably sore after last night, but he needed to be inside her. She felt fucking incredible how she gripped his dick with her strong pussy walls.

“Oh yeah.” His fingers dug into her waist. “You like being fucked, don’t you?”

“So much.”

She kissed him, twining her tongue along his.

She held his shoulders, gripping so she didn’t slide from his hips. She liked her ass in the air. He pumped into her, wanting to give her everything he could.

He lifted her off his dick and she squealed.

“Get on your knees,” he commanded.

She quickly scrambled on all fours. The fire crackled next to them as the room began to warm, but they were already out of breath and hot from wanting each other.

He pushed his fingers inside her pussy and she screamed. She was soaking wet. He made a trail to her ass, as he slid two fingers inside her sweet hole.

“Oh, Lee.” She panted hard, throwing her hips back.

“Damn it, I want inside you,” he growled. But even after the dildo and the plug she wasn’t there. He could barely slide two lubed fingers inside her.

She wiggled back, thrusting hard, grunting for him.

“Good girl,” he coaxed. His cock pointed forward. With another jerk of her hips, he speared her pussy and she groaned in ecstasy as his dick filled her, while his fingers locked deep in her sweet hole.

She bounced, letting her tits swing back and forth in front of the fireplace. He knew he and Ty had unleashed something feral in her. Something she had bottled up way too long.

“That’s it,” he growled. “Take what you want, baby. Take it. Don’t hold back.”

He watched in awe as she spread her knees wide, allowing him to sink his fingers farther and fucker her deeper with his cock. He held her waist hard, securing her.

“You want to do more than that, don’t you?” he urged her. “Take it, damn it. Take what you want, Brooke. Show me what you can do with that body. Fuck, make us both come.”

“Shit,” she hissed, lifting her palm from the floor and sliding it between her legs.

He groaned with satisfaction as she began to pluck her clit.

Brooke panted desperately. “Oh, I’m going to come. I can’t do this much longer. It’s intense, baby”

“Yes, you are,” he promised. “Coat your fingers. Feel my cock slide inside you.”

“Oh, Lee,” she moaned as she began to explore her heat in new ways. She was a fucking rock star.

She didn’t protest when he added a third finger to her back hole. It slid in with ease she was so turned on and wet. He was so fucking proud of her she didn’t need lube.

“Your ass is stretched farther than it’s ever been,” he growled. “Did you know that? I’ve got you spread so wide, baby. Shit. I’m going to come all over it.”

He wanted it to last longer, but fucking her in this position, while she was being so sweet and submissive, was more than he could take. He and Tyler would give her a hundred more orgasms today if she wanted them. Right now, he needed to see her ass glisten with his come.

Only two more thrusts and he felt his spine tighten with an explosive pinch before his eruption was on the cusp.

She wailed as his cock moved from her pussy. She fucked herself rapidly as he coated the outside of her hole with his come. He watched her beautiful hole clutch and seize as his release coated it, dripping between her cheeks and towards her pussy.

Lee roared toward the ceiling as his body was rattled by his own climax.

“I feel drunk,” she murmured, falling forward onto the carpet.

Lee closed his eyes. He had been so close to slamming into her, but he had restrained himself. He wanted her so badly. “Fuck, baby. I’ve never had such a high.”

He wedged his cock between her cheeks, feeling the hot stickiness seal them together as he rolled on top of her. “Brooke.” He brushed her bottom lip with the pad of his thumb.

He felt his belly warm with a new fire for her. He knew he could take her again and again. It may never end how much he wanted to satisfy her.

“I’ve wanted you since the day you were thrown in front of Tyler and me. We both have. I want you to know that. I don’t say much. But I need you to hear that.” He pushed his thumb to her lips as her tongue flicked over it.

“I think I finally understand what this thing is the three of us have together. I have you. I have Ty. And you both have me.”

He groaned. “What matters is we’re here now. And we’re never going to be apart. We have you and that’s all that matters. You belong with us.”

She nodded. “I do. As crazy as this is, I know it’s right. I know I’m meant for you and Tyler.”

The fire was warm on his bare back. He knew they would stay here the rest of the afternoon. Neither one of them wanted to get dressed and hike back in the snow anytime soon.

He pulled her into his arms. “That’s all I wanted to hear.”

And for the first time in a long time, he could finally admit that poker game was the best thing that had happened to all three of them.
