Blissfully Snowbound


***

Jenny grabbed her luggage and threw it in Dan’s car. “So where is Kelly? I thought she was going to help us get the cabin ready.”

Dan smiled uneasily. “Well, you know Kelly. Said she was running late and will meet us up there.”

She snorted in disgust. “I don’t know how you put up with that woman!” Although Kelly was her best friend, Jenny resented how she always seemed to run late when work needed to be done.

“So where is Ryan?” Dan asked with a smirk.

“Oh, Mr. Workaholic had just one more meeting. So you know what that means.”

“Yep, we get to do the grocery shopping.”

“And I really hate shopping,” Jenny complained. “I suggest we only buy things we like. Screw those two!”

Dan laughed. “Why not? Let’s go all out.”

Jenny loved the ease she felt around Dan. The four of them were that perfect combination of friends. The couples met in college three years ago and hung together ever since. Kelly and Dan were nicknamed the Blondies for obvious reasons. She was part of the Brownhead team. Jenny had some Cherokee blood running in her veins from her Dad’s side. It gave her an exotic look with her long dark hair and soft brown eyes. Ryan was her perfect match because of his chocolate brown curls – everyone said so.

Jenny appreciated how rare it was that Kelly’s boyfriend was good friends with her boyfriend. It made trips like this a ton more fun. The four pretty much did everything together, including vacations to Jamaica and Hawaii. This weekend it was Dan’s family cabin up in the mountains.

“I’ve got a suggestion,” Dan said. “Since you and I hate to cook, let’s just buy convenience foods. You know, all that premade crap that Kelly and Ryan hate.”

She chuckled. “Oh, I like the way you think!”

The two of them were sinful the way they filled up the shopping cart with chemically enhanced foods. She knew Ryan was going to have a cow, but he deserved it.

Dan threw in some marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers. Jenny patted his shoulder enthusiastically. “Yay! I’ve never had s’mores before.”

“Wow. I didn’t appreciate what a sheltered life you’ve led, Jenny. How else can I corrupt you this weekend?”

She grinned looking down the row of food. “I’ve never Vienna sausages.”

“Done!” Dan threw six cans into the cart.

The snow was starting to accumulate on the roads by the time they finished packing their stock of liquor in the car. “Plenty of food and booze, I think we’re set. I sure hope they follow behind us soon. I don’t want those two driving on slick roads,” she complained to Dan.

“Don’t worry. Kelly promised to leave by four. What about Ryan?”

“He couldn’t leave until five. He’ll be driving in the dark by the time he gets up there.”

“Maybe you should call him and suggest a quicker exit.”

Jenny called his cell, but Ryan didn’t pick up. She left a message and then another one at his office. “That’s the best I can do. Hope he listens to it in time.”

Dan started his car and grinned at her. “I know Ryan. A blinking light at his desk will drive him crazy. He’ll get your message.”

The drive up proved to be more harry than they expected. The mountains had at least eight inches of snow and the flakes were still falling with a vengeance. “You want to turn back?” Jenny asked.

“No, we’re almost there. The weathermen said it should be a quick storm. I’m sure it’ll clear up before they get here.”

They arrived at Dan’s cabin after four. The sky was dark and heavy with snow. It didn’t appear to Jenny that it was stopping anytime soon. “We better get a fire going first thing. I can just imagine Kelly’s agitated state after driving up. Nothing calms her more than a warm fire.”

Dan nodded. “I’ll grab some firewood after we get the supplies in.”

While Dan took care of the wood, Jenny ripped off the covers from the furniture and loaded the dishwasher. Experience from past trips taught her that the dishes needed a quick wash to get rid of the taste of disuse. Then she went about making the beds.

Dan came in with a huge armful of wood. “I’ll get more in the morning, but this should plenty for the night. Thank goodness we have power! I can’t imagine how cold this place would be without it, especially with the wind starting to pick up. I hope Kelly and Ryan get here soon.”

Jenny glanced nervously at the clock. “Do you think they’re all right?”

Dan’s smile was assuring. “Don’t worry. Both Kelly and Ryan are capable drivers. They’ll be here within the hour, I’m sure of it.

The two snacked on Doritos and Vienna Sausages while they waited. Dan had a pleasant fire going and Jenny put rocking tunes on. Both of them were Blue October fans, so she decided to indulge in the emotionally potent lyrics as they munched.

Dan sighed when “Congratulations” came on. “This song always makes me sad.”

“It is a sad song, isn’t it? Justin must have really loved the girl.”

“Yeah…”

“I enjoy the angst in his songs, don’t you? It’s so real and raw.”

“He definitely puts his soul out for public consumption.”

“I wish more singers were open and real like that.”

“It takes guts to put your feelings on the table.” Dan seemed uncharacteristically serious.

She made an offhand joke to lighten the mood, “I suppose guts on the table are bound to get eaten.” When he didn’t laugh, she moved up to the fireplace. “I’ve always liked fires.”

Dan lost his melancholy look and stood next to her. “Warm fire, good music, bad-for-you food, what could be better?”

“Only thing that would make this perfect is Ryan and Kelly showing up. Of course, I’d have to turn off the music and apologize for the raunchy food,” she said smiling up at him.

Dan winked and took out his cell to call Kelly. Although his phone showed one bar, he couldn’t get any reception. Jenny’s phone had been rendered useless the moment they drove into the mountains. He opened the door to hold his phone outside. Wind and snow whipped through the little cabin, nearly blowing out the fire. He quickly slammed the door shut. “Damn, it’s turning into a full blown blizzard. I’m afraid if they don’t arrive soon, it’ll be too late.”

After another hour passed, Jenny began pacing. “I’m really worried about them, Dan.”

“Jenny, neither Ryan nor Kelly would risk their lives if the roads are bad. They must be waiting out the storm. We’ll see them tomorrow”

“Yeah, okay. You’re right. Both are extremely practical.” She took a deep breath to calm herself and then started checking through the closet for her favorite game to keep her mind occupied. “Hey, Dan, do you know what happened to Settlers of Catan? It was here the last time we came up.”

Dan opened his mouth to reply when the lights went out. “Oh shit.”

The lights sputtered on for a couple of seconds and then went dead again. The glow from the fire cast eerie shadows on Dan’s face. “Did we just lose power?” she whimpered.

“Yep, we’re screwed.” Dan threw the last few logs on the fireplace. “I’ll get more wood in the morning, but I think we’d better head to bed before all the heat is gone.

Jenny opened her bedroom door to allow the heat to enter her room. It was already freezing cold in there. The wind outside howled angrily and Jenny could feel a breeze coming from the window. She quickly donned her flannels in the dark and jumped into bed. Jenny yelped when she slipped under the cold sheets.

“You okay in there?” Dan called out.

“Yeah, just a freezing bed. I’m fine.” Jenny shivered until her body heat started to warm up the covers. Jenny’s own teeth chattering woke her up. She had never felt so cold in her life. Jenny wrapped the blankets around her tighter, but it didn’t help. She stared at the wooden slats above her. How did the pioneers do it? This was fucking nuts. She curled her toes under her and put her hands in her armpits. She tried to fall asleep, but woke up to her own moaning. It was just too damn cold!

She cried out when she saw movement in the doorway. “It’s just me,” Dan said. “I heard you crying out.”

Jenny’s teeth chattered when she answered. “I’m so cold.”

“Me, too. If you are not opposed, I think we should share our heat.” She nodded vigorously, desperately needing his warmth. “My room feels a little warmer than yours,” he offered.

Jenny pulled the blankets off the bed and followed him to the other bedroom. They piled all the covers on the bed and she slipped under them. Jenny tried not to think how weird it was to be spooning Dan. He wrapped his arms around her and pressed up close.

It took a long time, but eventually his body heat radiated through her and her teeth stopped chattering. “Better?” he asked.

“Much.” Jenny fell asleep soon after. The blizzard continued to swirl around the little cabin, but she survived the night in relative comfort.

Dan was the first to stir the next morning. “I don’t want to do this.”

“Do what?” she asked groggily.

“Get out of this warm bed.”

Jenny laughed. “I don’t blame you.”

“Yeah, but unless I get the firewood, we’ll have to stay here all day.”

“I’ll cheer you on from the bed.”

“That’s big of you,” he complained good-naturedly just before making the mad dash. Jenny heard him zipping up his coat and stomping his boots. Then she heard the creak of the door and a loud, “Oh shit!”

“What? What’s wrong?”

“This is bad.”

Curiosity made her brave the cold. Jenny gasped when she saw the doorway completely blocked by snow, from top to bottom. “What the heck?”

“Yeah, we’re like literally snowed in.”

“What are we going to do?” she asked, shivering in the cold.

“I have to get that firewood. We’re not going to survive without it.” Dan grabbed a pot and scooped out a pan full of snow. She followed him as he walked to the bathroom and tossed it in the tub. Jenny quickly put on her coat, shoes, and gloves and grabbed another pot. The two began the arduous task of digging out. The positive was that Jenny got exceedingly warm working so hard.

Once they broke through the top layer of the snow, they were hit with blowing winds. The blizzard was still raging on. It took hours before they were able to dig their way to the woodpile. When Jenny hit the first log, she grabbed onto Dan jumping up and down enthusiastically. “I found it! We finally made it!”

He laughed. “I never thought we would see that damn wood.”

After digging out the woodpile, Jenny helped him carry the logs into the cabin. The wood completely lined one wall. Lucky for them, there was a healthy supply of wood. Dan figured they would be fine for a week.

By the time they finished stacking the wood, both were starving. Jenny got out the donuts, precooked bacon and chocolate milk. After Dan got a fire going, she took a cast iron pot and filled it with snow. “Coffee soon,” she announced, putting it on the edge of the fire.

“Great. By the way, thanks for all the help.”

“Of course.”

“Kelly would have sat on the sidelines and told me I was taking too long.”

Jenny chuckled. “Yeah, she probably would have. Nice thing about working together is that we get to drink hot coffee sooner.”

“Yep, can’t wait.” Dan put his hands next to the fire, rubbing them together.

Fear gripped Jenny as they sat there all warm and cozy. “You don’t think they are stuck out there do you?” Tears suddenly ran down her cheeks.

Dan walked over and put his arms around Jenny. “No. I am confident both are fine. Thankfully, we have enough supplies to wait out the storm. Don’t worry, Jenny.”

She hesitantly placed her head on his chest. For just a moment, she allowed herself to receive comfort in Dan’s embrace. Then Jenny grabbed a hot pad and poured the boiling water into cups, stirring in the instant coffee. “Here you go, made fresh by me.”

“Nice.” He cupped the mug in his hands. “Nothing like a cup of hot coffee.”

“Agreed.” Jenny took a sip and cried out. “Hot! Too hot!”

Dan got up and opened the door. He came back with a handful of snow. He broke it in half, plopping one in her cup and handing her the other. “For your tongue.”

Jenny took it gratefully, stuffing the icy snow into her burning mouth. “Aww…” she mumbled.

They spent the afternoon chatting about random stuff, trying to pass the time. After a few games of poker using pretzel sticks as money, Jenny started a more personal conversation. “So, when are you and Kelly planning on tying the knot?”

“Not sure it’ll ever happen.”

“Why not?” she asked, taken aback by his answer. She always assumed the two of them would get married.

“I talked about marriage once and Kelly told me it isn’t her thing. She doesn’t want to ruin what we have going.”

“Oh, well I guess I can understand that. Her parents’ divorce did a number on Kelly. I suppose it is not too surprising she is scared to give it a try.”

“What about you guys?”

“Ryan wants to wait until he makes junior partner. You know him, gotta have all his ducks in a row before we can officially tie the knot.”

Dan nodded his head knowingly. “That sounds about right. He does like everything planned out.”

“Yep, that’s my Ryan!” Jenny got up and brought back a bottle of wine. “I think we deserve to drink up after such hard work this morning.”

“Yeah, pour me a glass while I throw another log on the fire.” When Dan came back, Jenny had taken over the couch. She lifted her legs to make room for him. When he sat down, she put her feet in his lap. “What’s this, couch hog?” he asked with amusement.

“Just wanted to put my feet up. Got a problem with that?” She lifted her glass and took a sip of merlot.

“You sounded suspiciously like Kelly just now.”

Jenny choked on her sip of wine. She laughed as she sputtered out, “Yeah after years of being friends, I guess she’s bound to rub off on me.”

Dan asked casually, “You ever wonder what would have happened if you and I had met when we were single?”

“Um…no.” Jenny quickly took her feet off Dan’s lap and sat up. “Why?”

“No reason.”

“You aren’t getting off that easy. You brought it up, so speak.”

Dan looked at her with his dark brown eyes shining in the firelight. “Well, I don’t know. We seem to click, don’t you think? I’ve always thought we’d make a good couple.”

“Where’s this coming from? We’re both taken.”

“Yeah, I know. Still, I’m attracted to you.”

“Are you making a pass at me?” she asked incredulously.

“No, just stating a fact. It’s obvious the attraction is one-sided. Don’t give it another thought.”

After that revelation, what else could she think about? Jenny jumped off the couch and stood next to the fire. Her face was flushed and she didn’t want Dan to see it. Of course, she thought Dan was attractive. Who wouldn’t? Kelly had great taste in men and Dan was her crowning glory. At six feet five, Dan was a striking man. Although he didn’t have a muscular frame, he definitely was fit. Jenny liked the adorable way his blond hair fell in his eyes when he got excited and the cute way he brushed it back with his fingers. Up to this point, she really hadn’t thought about him romantically. Well, that wasn’t quite true. She had fantasized about a Dan a couple of times, but nothing serious. He was Kelly’s guy.

“Didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable,” Dan said from the couch.

“That’s okay. Like you said, we’ll just forget it. How long do you think it will take before they come to dig us out?”

“I don’t know. All depends on if this blizzard was local or widespread.”

“But you said we’ll be okay.”

“Yes, Jenny. Of that I have no doubt.”

She turned to Dan. Even though her face was still flushed, he would assume it was from the heat of the fire. “Okay, then I’ll try not to worry.”

“Up for another game of poker? I’m ahead of you by five pretzels.”

Her competitive streak took over and she joined him in a four-hour battle. Unfortunately, she was still behind at the end, but vowed total annihilation the next day. “I think I’ll sleep out here tonight,” she told Dan as they readied for bed.

“Sure. If you can, keep the logs on the fire so we don’t freeze during the night.”

“Not a problem.” Jenny gathered her blankets off his bed and wrapped them around her as she lay on the couch. Things felt different now. After Dan’s declaration, she needed to stay clear of him. Being close would only ignite something neither of them needed. Jenny slept so soundly that the fire went out. She woke to Dan starting it back up. She rolled off the couch wanting to help. “I’m sorry, Dan.”

“No problem. Go back to bed. I was just freezing and figured you were asleep.” He got a roaring fire going and headed back to his room. She knew he was cold and took pity on him. “Wait.”

Dan turned around, “Yeah?”

“Come over until your room gets warm.” She sat up and lifted the blankets. Dan walked over and she threw the covers over him. They sat there in the dark watching the fire. Jenny was exceedingly aware of his body so close to hers. Even though they weren’t touching, she could feel the cold radiating off his skin. She moved over and pressed against him, giving him some of her warmth. It was the least she could do after letting the fire die.

“Thanks,” he said, not moving a muscle.

The crackle of the fire was soothing. The way the light shifted and flickered over the walls had a hypnotic quality to it. “Dan?”

He turned his head towards her. Jenny felt the sudden urge to kiss him. She lifted her chin so that their lips met. Jenny felt an exhilarating thrill course through her when he pressed his mouth against hers. She pulled away in shock having never felt that before.

“Wow,” he murmured. After a few seconds he asked, “Was it good for you?”

“Yeah, like scary good.”

“Likewise.”

They sat staring at the flames again. Jenny was unsure what to do. A kiss was excusable. Not good, but excusable. More than that and they were asking for trouble.

“I think my room is warm enough,” Dan said, quickly getting up and moving away. She noticed he walked funny.

“I’ll see you in the morning,” Jenny called after him.

Dan waved his hand without looking back. He closed the door, effectively shutting out any chance of warmth. Why would he do that?

She lay back down on the couch, trying to forget the way his kiss made her feel. The growing wetness between her legs belied her attempt. Maybe Dan was in that room jerking off while thinking of her. The thought completely turned Jenny on. A short time later, he cracked the door open and went back to bed.

She was jealous of a man’s ability to do that. Just a simple hand motion on their hard member and they could come. Her? It never worked, but tonight she was desperate. Jenny fumbled with her clit getting her fingers all wet in the process. She rubbed it this way and that, but all it ever produced was more tension, not release. Finally, she gave up in frustration. She squeezed her legs tightly shut and forced herself to think about work. It was hours before she was able to fall back to sleep.

It seemed like a couple of minutes later when she heard Dan moving logs onto the fire. “Morning Sunshine.”

“What? It’s already morning?”

“Yep, got you a cup of joe on the counter there if you want it.”

Jenny wiped the sleep from her eyes and was assaulted with her musky smell. She put her hands down quickly, blushing. Jenny washed her hands in the melted snow water in the kitchen sink. Then she grabbed the hot mug and drank its warm goodness. “Just the right temp,” she purred.

“Good.” Dan walked over to the counter and picked up his own mug. “So how did you sleep?”

Jenny wasn’t about to tell him the truth, so she answered, “Probably as well as you.”

“Not well, huh?”

She crinkled her brow. “You didn’t sleep?”

“Not really. Couldn’t get you off my mind.”

Jenny’s pulse increased. Knowing he spent the night thinking about her was hard to take. “You probably shouldn’t tell me that.”

“Why?”

“We are stuck here, Dan. We need to be adults about this.”

“I was thinking about that, actually. You know as well as I do that both Ryan and Kelly are going to assume something happened no matter what we say. It’s just the way things are. Two attractive people stuck in a cabin for a week…it’s bound to happen.”

“What’s your point?”

“Well, if we are going to be accused of it anyway, why not enjoy the experience?”

Jenny shook her head. “You just won’t give up, will you?”

“After last night’s kiss? No way.”

She blushed, thinking back on the experience. “It was a fluke. It’s the whole stolen kiss thing. That’s all it was.”

“Wanna prove it?”

She scoffed at him. “Yeah right.”

“No, seriously. If we kiss and both of us don’t feel something, I’ll stop hounding you. Cross my heart.” He made a cross motion over his heart and smiled charmingly.

“You’re pathetic, you know that?”

“I think you’re chicken because you know I’m right.”

“Don’t start with me. You know I hate being called a chicken.”

He nodded with a grin. “Yes, I do.”

Jenny rolled her eyes and walked over to Dan. Here in the daylight with no romantic fire things would be different. He tried to put his arms around her, but she stopped him. “You said nothing about hugging, mister. A kiss. That’s it.”

A smile played across his lips. “Fine.” Dan put his hands behind his back and waited.

Jenny tried to calm the butterflies as she tiptoed up to kiss him. For a second she hesitated, afraid that he might be right - but no. She knew better and needed to prove it. Jenny gently pressed her mouth against his firm lips. He snuck a hand around and grasped the back of her neck. Dan slipped his tongue into her mouth and she felt fireworks go off. The desire she felt all night instantly reignited. She unwillingly moaned and had to pull away. It was disconcerting.

Dan’s hair fell in his eyes and he brushed it back all cute-like. “Well?”

Jenny turned from him. “Didn’t feel a thing.”

He snuck up behind her and growled softly in her ear, “Yeah, I’m buying that.”

Her heart raced when she felt the warmth of his breath on her neck. “Please don’t.”

“Don’t what?” he asked, as Dan moved her hair and gently kissed the back of her neck.

She felt an electric jolt travel straight through her. “Don’t make me want you.”

Dan chuckled warmly, “But you already do.”

Jenny closed her eyes. Her body was desperate for more, but they couldn’t. It wasn’t in the cards for them. She pulled away and pretended to straighten the kitchen.

Dan let out a frustrated sigh. “Okay, you win. I’ll stop hounding you.”

She almost felt disappointed. “Good, why don’t we finish our poker game?”

“Fine,” Dan grumbled. Then he added condescendingly, “I don’t see the point. You are so behind now you don’t have a chance of catching up.”

“Oh yeah? We’ll see about that.” She dealt out the cards. In no time flat, she was out of pretzels. “How did you do that?”

“I’m on a winning streak and you’re not.”

Jenny pouted. She hated to lose and today it was especially humiliating. “I demand a rematch.”

“Nope. You need collateral in order to play. I do have a suggestion though. You could bet with clothing.”

“Strip poker? You can’t be serious.”

“I am completely serious,” Dan said with a glint in his eye. He started dealing out the cards. “You in?”

So much for him giving up on getting her in bed, but Jenny couldn’t pass up the challenge. “Okay, but only if I can pull out of the game at any time.”

“It’s a deal.”

Jenny was pleasantly surprised when she beat his hand. “Since I’m the winner, I get to pick the piece of clothing,” she announced.

“Okay by me.”

“Your shirt.”

Dan kept a straight face as he pulled off his sweater. Jenny couldn’t help gazing at his broad chest. She had only seen him shirtless from a distance once when she watched him play basketball outside Kelly’s apartment.

“Your turn to deal.”

Jenny looked down at the cards. Seeing his skin unnerved her. Jenny shuffled the cards and dealt them out. It seemed her luck had changed when she won the next hand. “Your belt.”

“Interesting choice,” Dan replied, as he undid the buckle and whipped it out of the belt loops. The sound of the buckle hitting the floor made her blush. She was glad he couldn’t tell what she was thinking.

Dan dealt the next hand. Jenny won with a pair of queens. She whistled. “I am on a roll now, Baby! Socks next.”

“Both?”

“Yep.”

He dutifully took off his socks, exposing the manly fur on his feet. Dan wiggled his toes for her benefit. She quickly dealt out the next hand and then stopped. Was he losing on purpose? Jenny raised her eyebrow and stared at him thoughtfully.

“What?”

“My sudden winning streak seems a little suspicious.”

“I see. You doubt your own card skills.”

Jenny puckered her lips in concentration. She finished dealing and let out a happy squeal when she saw her hand, totally forgetting to keep a poker face. Jenny laid down two aces in triumph and then gasped when Dan showed her a three of a kind. He grinned mischievously. “Shirt.”

She shook her head. “I can’t.”

“Do not shirk on a bet, Jenny. It’s bad manners.”

In a quick move so she wouldn’t second-guess herself, Jenny whipped off her sweater. She was grateful that her bra hid her assets. Jenny looked over at the fire, not wanting to see the expression on Dan’s face.

“Nice. Not quite what I was expecting, but nice.”

Jenny glanced down at her chest and burned with mortification. She forgot she was wearing her ancient smiley face bra. It was her most comfortable intimate apparel, but definitely not her sexiest. Ryan never cared what she wore.

“Enough gawking. Just deal the cards.”

Dan chuckled and dealt the next hand. Jenny heart raced. She had three Jacks and laid them down with a whoop. Dan smiled and showed her a flush. “Bra.”

Jenny sputtered. “Not the bra. Let me take off my socks.”

“Nope. The bra that keeps smiling back at me must go.”

Jenny’s hands trembled as she unclasped the back and slowly let her favorite bra fall from her shoulders. Dan expression changed from amusement to adoration in the blink of an eye. Jenny blushed and instinctively covered her chest with her hands.

“No, you have to let me see them. It’s the rules.”

Jenny’s body tingled as she removed her hands and let him look at her naked chest. “Had enough?” she finally asked.

“Never.”

She picked up the deck and started shuffling. Dan’s eyes never left her chest. Jenny quickly fanned her cards out and put them in front of her, effectively blocking his view.

Thankfully, she won with a king high. With more enthusiasm then she meant to reveal, Jenny cried out, “Pants!”

Dan feigned shyness as he slowly stood up and undid the button on his jeans. He let them fall to the floor. Jenny couldn’t help noticing the large bulge in his boxers. “Like what you see?”

The heat rushed to her cheeks. “Not really.”

“That’s only because you can’t see what’s underneath.”

“I think I am done with the game.”

“So soon? You were winning.”

“Somehow, either way it seems you are the one winning.”

He shrugged his shoulders. “If you want to wimp out, that’s your business. But the rules state that we both have to keep our clothes off the rest of the day.”

Jenny had a sneaking suspicion he was making it up, but she was willing to play along. “Better put some more logs on the fire then, I feel a little cold.”

“I can tell,” he said with a smirk, gazing brazenly at her chest.

“Me, too,” she smiled wickedly, staring at his crotch. Dan moved to put more wood on, laughing under his breath.

What the hell were they doing? “We can’t have sex, Dan,” she blurted. “I would never forgive myself.”

Once Dan had a hot fire going, he turned around and asked, “What constitutes overstepping the bounds? How far is too far?”

Jenny frowned. She hadn’t thought about it before. “Well, we definitely can’t make love. My vagina is off limits.”

“Okay.”

“So what does that really leave? I don’t think it’s worth even bothering with.”

“I disagree. It leaves us many options I’m open to exploring. What about you?”

Ryan and she pretty much just fucked. Every now and then, they did a little oral but neither of them was much into it. Jenny felt rather sorry for Dan. Without penetration, neither would have much fun. “Well, I suppose if you’re still willing I am.”

“Good.” Dan walked over and pulled her close, kissing Jenny without even asking. Her breasts pressed against his naked chest. The electricity it caused left Jenny breathless afterwards. It might be a little enjoyable after all. “What do you want to try first?” he asked.

Jenny sighed. “What? You want me to suck on you?” It seemed the most obvious choice.

“Nah, how about you play with yourself while I watch.”

Jenny looked at him in horror. “No way. I can’t do that.”

“Why not? I’ve fantasized about it for years.”

She hated to admit the truth, but figured honesty was the best policy. “I don’t do that really. I guess I’m one of those weird girls who only like cock.”

“I don’t buy it.”

“Well, it’s a fact. Want me to suck on you now?”

“No. I want to help you play with yourself.”

Jenny felt her whole body flush. “I can’t do that, it’d be too embarrassing.”

“Why?” Dan leaned over and whispered hoarsely. “Nothing would turn me on more than watching you get yourself off.”

Even though Jenny knew she was facing certain humiliation, she let Dan guide her to the couch. He slowly unbuttoned her jeans and pulled them down. She was grateful she’d worn lacy panties at least. Dan pulled off his boxers and lay on the sofa, motioning her to join him. Jenny stared at his thick cock. It was definitely different than Ryan’s whose was long and thin.

Jenny hesitantly lay down next to him, staring up at the log ceiling afraid to make eye contact. Dan took her hand and moved it to her clit. “Play with yourself.” Jenny reluctantly stuck her hand under her panties and fumbled with her clit like she always did. “That sweet,” he murmured. He shimmied off her panties and put his finger next to hers. Dan started rubbing at a faster rate, applying more pressure than she ever did. It instantly caused a warm sensation throughout her groin. “Now you try it,” he told her.

Jenny had to swallow her pride as she attempted to flick herself with the same enthusiasm he had shown. “Faster,” he encouraged. Soon her sensitive clit was singing under her own touch. She felt his hard cock push into her thigh, the wetness of his precome leaving a trail on her leg. There was no doubt that Dan enjoyed watching her.

“I am not going to enter you with my fingers, have no fear. I just want to touch your pussy while you play with yourself.” Jenny stifled a gasp when he felt around her inner lips. It was exciting to have his fingers exploring her while she stimulated her clit. “So wet and swollen. I can tell you’re close, Jenny.”

His confidence and manly touch heightened her arousal. The fact that Dan was about to witness her first manual come thrilled her for some reason. He leaned down and sucked on her breast for the first time. She cried out and felt a strong contraction in her groin. “So close…,” he whispered and the sucked her nipple harder.

Jenny closed her eyes as the fire between her legs reached a level she’d never gotten to before. Her back automatically arched as another contraction hit sending her over the edge. Jenny whimpered in pleasure as wave after wave rolled over her.

“So damn sexy,” Dan growled after her climax ended. He took her wet hand and placed it on his cock. Jenny shifted so she was facing him and then she started stroking his shaft. “Kiss me. This won’t take long.”

Dan plundered her lips while Jenny caressed his thick tool vigorously. He groaned in her mouth as he stiffened. Jenny felt his cock spasm just before hot come shot onto her stomach. His dick continued pulsating in her hand as he released a full load.

He opened his eyes and smiled at her. “I told you it wouldn’t take long.”

“Is that normally the case for you?” she asked innocently, although it was meant as a joke.

He gazed at her with tender emotion. “No, only when I’m in the presence of a woman I’ve wanted for far too long.”

Jenny had no witty retort to fire back. “Ah…”

Dan kissed her cheek. “Did you enjoy it?”

“More than I thought,” she admitted shyly.

“Good, because this is only the beginning.”

Jenny laughed as she scooted off the couch and got up. “This was a one-time deal, Dan.”

“Oh no, we have days together and I plan to take full advantage of them.”

“In your dreams.”

The two cleaned up and Dan allowed them to dress since the night air was creeping into the cabin. They spent the evening sipping wine and talking about their childhoods. Dan asked Jenny to put her feet on his lap while they talked. He massaged them in the most delightful way as they shared more about themselves.

“I’ve always felt jealous of Kelly when you rubbed her feet,” Jenny confessed. “Ryan can’t stand feet. He almost gagged the one time he rubbed them for me.

“Ryan is a fool. These are beautiful feet.”

Jenny felt bad for complaining so she hastily added, “Hey, don’t get me wrong. Ryan is amazing in bed. We can go for hours.”

“I’m sure,” answered Dan, bending over and kissing each toe. The intimate gesture made her tremble inside. Man, he was a good lover.

It was a relief to Jenny when he went to sleep in his own room. She was afraid that with too much contact, she’d forget her vow not to make love to him. Jenny held onto the notion that a little fingering wasn’t dangerous. In fact, she had learned something valuable.

Jenny snuck her fingers underneath her panties and began playing with herself. Her body was still on fire and quickly responded to her touch. She kneaded and pulled on her nipple as she flicked her clit vigorously. She made herself incredibly wet in the process, but she needed something more. Jenny stuck her finger inside her eager pussy, trying not to think of Dan. Jenny cried out softly when her orgasm finally hit. Success! She snuggled down in the covers afterwards and purred. Having the power to make herself come was amazing. Jenny fell asleep with a huge smile on her lips.

In the middle of the night, she woke from an erotic dream to see Dan standing over her with an obvious hard-on. “What?” she asked tiredly, sitting up.

“What you do mean what? You were calling out my name.”

It had been a really good dream. “You must be hearing things. I was asleep.”

“No, I heard you clearly. You were moaning, “Oh Dan, yes...yes! I want it harder, Dan!”

Jenny blushed, recalling how hard he pounded her in the dream.”I think you are making that up,” she insisted.

“Well, maybe the ‘I want it harder’ part, but you were definitely calling my name so here I am.”

Jenny looked at his masculine cock standing proud and erect. “I’m not sure how you can help me.”

“Well, then maybe you can help me. Have you ever had someone make love to your breasts?”

“Can’t say that I have.”

“Mind if I fulfill that little fantasy? You have beautiful breasts, Jenny.”

The desire in her dream clearly influenced her answer. “I suppose you can make love to my breasts, Dan. Just be gentle.”

“Let me add a few more logs to the fire and get the lubricant.”

It involved lube? Jenny wondered what she was in for. When he returned she asked, “What are you doing with a tube of lubricant anyway? Seems a little odd.”

“Kelly and I are fairly adventurous. I always bring it with me in case we decide to enjoy a little extracurricular fun.”

Once again, Jenny felt jealous of Kelly. Ryan certainly could fuck for hours, but there wasn’t any real variety. “Take off your top,” he instructed as Dan kneeled down beside her. He squeezed the gel in his hand and gently rubbed it on her chest. Her nipples were already hard even before the lubricant made contact, but the coldness made her jump. “Sorry about that.” He kissed each nipple tenderly, before straddling her on the couch. Dan placed his hard cock in-between her full breasts. “Push them together for me,” he asked.

Jenny took each hand on either side of her breasts and pressed them against his shaft. Dan put his hands on hers and pushed them even more, so that her flesh enveloped his entire dick. “Keep it like that.”

Dan started stroking his shaft in and out of her cleavage. She watched as the head of his cock popped out and then disappeared back into her firm mountains of sexy flesh. It was visually exciting, especially when she looked up and saw the look of ecstasy on Dan’s face.

He started thrusting his hips with more force, as if he was taking her pussy. Jenny saw his cock leaking come and knew he was thoroughly enjoying the friction of her breasts. Jenny closed her eyes, imagining his dick inside her thrusting hard and taking her deep. She unconsciously lifted her hips in rhythm with his strokes.

When he started grunting, she opened her eyes. Jenny watched with interest as Dan came. He closed his eyes as he threw his head back. She felt her juices flow when he cried out in pleasure. Jenny opened her lips and let his come shoot onto her tongue. It was incredibly tangy to the point of almost being bitter. Dan slowly eased his dick further into her mouth and finished coming inside her. “Incredible,” he breathed, shuddering after his climax.

Dan looked down at her with a look she couldn’t place. “I am a very happy man.” He flipped his hair back before lifting himself off and moving down between her legs. “Now to make you a happy woman. I desperately want my fingers inside your pussy so I can stroke your G-spot, but I won’t. I hope your come will still be just as sweet.”

Jenny wasn’t expecting much when Dan first licked her clit. Ryan had performed cunninglingus before and she found it rather boring. She turned her head towards the fire and watched the flames dance on the wood. She was surprised when she felt him sucking on her clit. All Ryan ever did was lick it a few times. The more Dan sucked, the hotter her pussy got.

Then Jenny felt his fingers exploring her swollen lips. His light touch teased her hole, coming close put never penetrating her eager depths. She jumped a little when his index finger pressed against her anus; no one had ever touched her there. Jenny shifted, but Dan moved with her, his finger firmly in place. “Don’t fight it, Jenny. Let me touch you. I promise you will like it,” he murmured.

He continued his sucking assault on her sensitive nodule as he slowly pushed the tip of his finger into her ass. Jenny squirmed, but he said softly, “Don’t move. Let your body get used to it.”

She lay still, her heart palpating as his finger slowly penetrated her. There was something so primal about the invasion. Jenny was surprised it was making her even wetter.

“Good girl,” he murmured softly. He started flicking his tongue over her clit matching the rhythm as he slowly thrust his finger in and out of her anus. What had always been a boring part of foreplay had suddenly become hot and nasty.

Dan continued to stroke her ass with his finger as his tongue danced over her clit. The pressure slowly built until she felt ready to explode. Jenny pressed her clit against his mouth. He started suckling it, sending the heat throughout her entire body. This time a cold chill took over when she felt the first wave of her orgasm. Her pussy convulsed repeatedly as she came on Dan’s mouth. He pulled out his finger just before the final contraction ended.

Her thighs were trembling when she lifted her head to thank him. “That was better than I expected.”

Dan looked up between her legs. “I thought you’d like that.”

Instead of going back to his room, Dan stayed with Jenny on the couch. They curled up together with his arm draped over her. Jenny fell asleep immediately in his warm embrace.

The next morning she woke up to Dan’s breath on her neck. It gave her tingling chills. Why didn’t she feel that way with Ryan? He was a good guy and she’d never had complaints before. But damn, he never made her feel like this.

When Dan finally stirred, she got off the couch and gathered breakfast materials. Dan automatically went to stoke the fire. They sat at the table staring at each other in silence while they ate a cold breakfast and drank their instant coffee.

Dan finally asked, “Have you ever deep throated a guy?”

Jenny looked at him in shock. “Are you kidding? I don’t like to gag when I suck a man.”

“Oh, okay.”

She had expected he would argue the point, but he didn’t. He continued eating his cinnamon pop-tart and sipping his coffee in silence.

“Does Kelly deep throat you?”

“Nah. She’s like you.”

Dan got up and threw another log on the fire, before getting a pan of snow to melt for water. He announced from the door, “It looks like things are finally clearing up. The wind has died down and the sun’s out today.”

“Good,” Jenny said, but she was secretly disappointed.

In the afternoon, after a card game of Liar (which she dominated), Jenny brought up the subject of deep throating again. His suggestion frightened her when he first mentioned it, but the more she thought about it the more she was curious to try it. “So, I don’t even know how to deep throat a guy.”

“Would you like to learn?”

Jenny didn’t answer immediately. She shuffled the cards a couple of times and then put the stack down on the table and looked at him. “Maybe.”

“If you want to practice with me, I’d be happy to show you the ropes.”

“How many girls have taken you that way?”

“Only one, but it’s an experience I’ve never forgotten.”

She was honest with him. “I’m afraid I’ll choke.”

“I would take it slow with you. Just fun and practice. No pressure at all.”

Jenny sighed nervously. Why did she have such a burning desire to please him? It wasn’t natural. “Okay, how do we start?”

Dan cleared off the kitchen table. “This seems to be the perfect height. I noticed it this morning.” He motioned her to him. Jenny was about to get on the table, but Dan grabbed her in his arms. He kissed her neck and then lightly nibbled on her collarbone. “You are one sexy woman, Jenny.” Dan poured wine for both of them and handed her a glass. It was still a little early for drinking, but Jenny took it realizing it would help her to relax.

Dan relieved Jenny of her shirt and bra. He was so natural about it that Jenny found herself half-naked before she knew what was happening. He leisurely caressed her breasts and then started kissing her on the lips. Dan teased her mouth with that naughty tongue of his. Oh, his kisses were trouble. She’d do anything for him now.

Once her body was properly tingling in anticipation, Dan asked her to lie down on the table. He helped her lay face up and then pulled her towards him until her head hung slightly off the edge. “The right angle is everything,” he told her, running his hand over her throat with a lustful look in his eye.

He noticed how quickly her breasts were rising up and falling and kneeled down next to her. “Don’t be scared. We’ll end it if it’s something you don’t like.”

Jenny’s entire body relaxed. There was no reason to be worried. She trusted Dan and this was something she wanted to try. Jenny watched him with her upside down view as he took off his clothes in front of her. Dan’s cock looked ready and eager for the practice session.

“There are a few things that will make this easier. First, we need you to get a lot of saliva going. The more the better. Don’t worry about slurping sounds or it dipping from your mouth. It’s a good thing. Second, you are going to control my cock and the depth of it at all times. I will not thrust into you. Thirdly, breathe in when you push in and exhale when you push out. The most important thing of all is when you hit the back of your throat and you don’t think you can take anymore that’s when you need to swallow. If you swallow my cock into your throat you won’t feel the need to gag.”

Jenny opened her mouth to let him know she was ready. When Dan moved closer, she took his cock in her hand. In order to build up saliva, Jenny sucked and nibbled on the head of his shaft first. Then she started taking him into her mouth - not all at once, but little by little. She teased him mercilessly because she had all the control. Dan groaned time and time again as she brought him to the edge, making him plead for her to stop.

There came a point when she knew she was ready. Jenny held him tighter and pulled his shaft into her letting it travel further than she had before. When it reached the back of her throat, she forgot to swallow and gagged instead. He instantly pulled out. “That was good for your first try,” he complimented.

“I want to try again.”

“Are you sure?”

She took his shaft again and guided it into her wide-open lips. When she got to that point again, she forced herself to swallow. His cock moved in further blocking her breathing. It frightened her, even though she’d been warned. Jenny pulled him back out. Dan smiled down at her ready to end their first session, but Jenny wasn’t done trying.

She guided his shaft back to her. Dan had a look of surprise as he watched his dick disappear into her mouth again. Now that Jenny’s body knew what to expect, she was sure she could do it. She took a breath in and swallowed, feeling his cock start down her throat. She pushed him a little deeper and Dan groaned in ecstasy. The tightness in her throat resisted his girth. That was all she could manage and she pulled him out for the last time.

“Amazing, you did amazing.” He bent over and kissed her. Dan brushed a wet lock of hair from her cheek. “I can’t believe how incredible you are, Jenny.” He gently pushed her back on the table so her head wasn’t hanging over and then he walked to the door. Dan opened it and grabbed a handful of snow. He came back with a mischievous smile. “Have you ever…”

“The answer is no, Dan. Just assume that.”

Dan chuckled and pulled off her remaining clothes. He stared at her for a while, seeming to drink in the vision of her. “I’m going to make love to you with snow. I hope you like it cold.”

“Not sure that I do, but I am willing to find out.”

He took the snow and rubbed it against her right nipple. It instantly hardened as the cold ice crystals melted on her warm skin.

“Oh,” she yelped.

Dan smiled as he slid the melting snow onto her other nipple. His warm lips came down on the first one. Jenny moaned in pleasure, the temperature contrast a pure delight. “I take it you like snow.”

“I do now,” she purred.

Dan rubbed it over her stomach, making her jump and squirm. His warm tongue followed the watery trail he made. She groaned when he teasingly bought it close to her mound, but soon all the snow had melted. Dan grabbed a pot and went outside to get some more. Jenny lay there on the table quivering in anticipation. She laughed when she saw the heaping amount he brought back. “You better not use all that on me.”

“I didn’t want to chance leaving you again,” he answered. Dan shaped a handful of snow into a small ball and moved down to her leg. Starting at the arch of her foot, he slid the freezing ball slowly up her leg past her knee. Jenny wiggled the closer he got. The snow glided across the crease of her butt cheek, the drips tickling as they fell. The icy ball finally made its way up to her mound. She squealed when it touched her clit, but then he took it away. Just like last time, Dan followed the wet trail with his tongue, starting at her foot and ending up on her clit.

Dan made another ball. Jenny smiled and closed her eyes when he started on her left leg. All of her senses were focused on his frozen caress and scorching tongue. She never thought of snow as a sexual tool before. Jenny couldn’t help it, she squealed again when the snow glided onto her clit. She was so hot down there that the temperature difference was shocking - in a good way.

Jenny wondered about his next move and was surprised to see Dan carefully shaping the snow into a phallus. Her eyes widened as he approached her with it. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“No worries. I’m just going to slide it over your hot pussy. Lie back and trust me.”

She did as he asked, her nipples growing hard in anticipation. The thought of the frozen phallus touching her most intimate spot made her crazy. Jenny gasped when Dan slid it against her inner thigh, letting her feel its icy hardness. He ran it up and over her mound to the other side. The head of it slowly glided down her outer lips down to the valley near her anus. He slowly brought it back up between her juicy lips, water pouring from it as it contacted her burning sex. He hesitated at her opening but moved upward pressing the length of the shaft against her as the tip played with her quivering clit. A shudder went through her. He began rubbing the icy phallus against her, as if it were a real cock. She moved with it, liking the sensation it created.

The combination of ice and friction was delightfully maddening. Jenny had only one consuming desire. “Please, stick it in me…” she whispered.

Dan moved the head of it back down to her opening. She held her breath as he slowly, painstakingly inserted the frosty shaft into her warm depths. Jenny whimpered and then cried out as the cold took over. Then Dan’s warm lips encased her freezing clit, sucking… flicking… the intermingling of his hot mouth… the cold phallus melting inside her… it all was taking her to a higher state of intensity. “I’m coming,” she suddenly moaned. Jenny gasped the edge of the table as her hips bucked against Dan’s mouth in a powerful orgasm. She gasped as it rocked her and then she collapsed back on the table trembling. “Oh Dan, that was amazing…” she breathed, rubbing his blond hair.

He kissed her clit one last time and then crawled up between her legs to kiss her lips. He smelled and tasted of her. Jenny felt his hard hot, throbbing cock on her stomach. “Don’t move,” he said. Dan started rubbing his shaft against her in small gentle movements. He kissed her again, darting his tongue inside her mouth. Jenny ran her hands down his buttocks, holding onto him as his manhood pulsated between them. It felt so intimate and sexy.

He continued pressing against her tummy, moving slowly and sensually while they French kissed without restraint. Dan made guttural sounds as he climaxed on her. She felt the warmth of his ejaculation and moaned in response. Everything about the man was sexy.

Dan gazed down at her afterwards with an expression that looked suspiciously like love. Thankfully, instead of a declaration of affection, he said hoarsely, “Incredible.”

Jenny smiled and lifted herself up, feeling a cascade of water pour out between her legs. “Poor snowy cock. It is no more.”

Dan got a towel and sopped up the puddle. “It never had a chance; your pussy was way too hot for it to survive. But what a way to go.”

She giggled as he helped her off the table. Jenny felt her knees give and had to hold onto the edge for balance. “You make me weak.”

Dan took pity on her and picked Jenny up, carrying her to the couch. “Rest, my little kumquat. Let your man provide you with sustenance.”

She watched him gather a collection of their favorite foods and arrange them on a tray. It seemed so normal, like they had been a couple for years. The fact he said your man did not go unnoticed by her. It seemed Dan had feelings that ran far deeper than simple attraction. It frightened Jenny.

They both had partners that would be devastated if they became a couple. Should she say something to Dan now or just let it slide? Part of her wanted to keep the fantasy going, to pretend just a little longer. He brought the tray over and placed it on the coffee table with flourish. “Only the best for you, milady.”

Jenny grabbed a cracker and put cheese and a slice of salami on it. She stuffed it in her mouth with relish. “Yum…” she complimented with a full mouth.

Dan returned with hot chocolate. “After such a chilly interlude, I figured a little hot coco was in order.”

“You think of everything.” Jenny wrapped her fingers around the warm mug gratefully.

They spent the evening playing the board game Catan. Dan had recovered it out of an old trunk in his bedroom. Jenny was thrilled because it was her personal favorite. Dan proved to be a worthy opponent. The game lasted hours as the two worked against each other, both determined to win. Dan finally had to concede defeat, but wasn’t satisfied until she agreed to a rematch. Jenny started setting up the board while he got up to stretch his legs and check the weather.

Dan opened the door and peeked outside. He exclaimed excitedly, “Jenny, you need to see this!”

She finished setting up the board and joined him. The night sky was crystal clear and filled with millions of twinkling stars. More stars than Jenny had ever seen before. She could even make out the Milky Way. “Incredible…”

Dan put his arms around her as they gazed up at the sky together. “The universe is breathtaking in its splendor and size.”

She pressed herself against his warm chest. “It’s truly beautiful.”

He bent down and blew hot air on her ear. “Jenny.”

“Yes?”

“There is something I’m desperate to do with you.”

She giggled softly, “Oh yeah?” What else could he possibly have in mind?

His warm lips tickled her ear. “I want to come inside you.”

Her groin contracted pleasantly at the thought, but it wasn’t a possibility. “We can’t, you know that.”

“We can. There is a way without compromising anything.”

Jenny smiled, not believing him. “How?”

“Let me take you anally.”

She couldn’t breathe. The thought of taking his thick cock into her ass sounded painful. There was nothing sexy about it. “No. I don’t want to.”

He kissed her neck again. Dan walked back into the cabin and sat down beside the game board. She could tell he was disappointed. As much as she wanted to please him, Jenny couldn’t go that far.

She looked back up at the stars with a sense of regret before shutting the door. They played a second round of Catan, but neither was into it. Things were too quiet. In an attempt to lighten the mood, Jenny made martinis.

“You do make a damn good martini,” Dan said taking a drink of her concoction.

“Thank you, thank you,” Jenny answered with a small curtsy.

The drink went straight to her head. While playing the game she concentrated on building a long and winding road instead of trying to beat Dan. He saw what she was doing and gradually created a smiley face with his road pieces. It took a while for Jenny to notice. Once she did, she started laughing and slapped him hard on the back.
