.Boredom weighed heavily on her.She was at the snapping point.“Damn it, Blake!” She whirled away from the window.“I am going out of my mind.I can’t stand being in this damn house for another minute!”“Then put on your snow boots.” What he said didn’t register right away.When it did, she wasn’t sure she heard him correctly.Surely uptight Mr.Police Officer wasn’t going to let her outside, in range of snipers.She could sense something brewing in the air and she knew Blake could sense it, too.She could see it in his eyes, in his tense always-ready body, and hear it in his strained voice.Red hadn’t forgotten about them.He was plotting his next move and anticipating his revenge.“What?” she asked dumbfounded.“Put on your snow boots.We’re going outside.”She blinked.“Really? You’re not toying with my sanity, are you?”“Yes, really.And no, I’m not.”She looked out the window longingly.“Do you think that’s wise?”He shrugged, and she knew why.At this point, nothing was wise.“My men are positioned all over the area on the lookout for anyone suspicious.If anyone came down here, I would be notified immediately and my entire task force would surround the house in minutes.Besides, it snowed heavily last night.If anyone wants to get back here, they’d have to walk on foot.So what are you waiting for?” He was already pulling on his jacket.She sprang into action.Free, free, I’m going to be free! She shoved her feet into snow boots, yanked on her jacket, and was outside in a flash.The air was bitter.The cold nipped at her nose and scratched her cheeks like frozen needles.Snow crunched beneath her feet as she waded away from the house.Blake waited for her at the porch and watched her.Her relief to be outside was so strong she stopped in the middle of the driveway and raised her face to the cloudy sky.She sighed and took a deep, cold breath.The sting in her lungs made her feel alive.She hadn’t felt alive since the phone call she got from Red.If the Mob was after you, the last thing you felt was alive.If the Mob was after you, it was only a matter of time before you were as dead as a doorknob.But standing outside in the middle of winter, with the world in a coma, she felt alive.She jolted, nearly stumbled when something cold and hard hit her butt.She opened her eyes slowly, turned to look at Blake who was innocently dusting snow off his hands.She glared at him.“You did not just throw a snowball at my ass.”He grinned.“Actually, yeah, I did.”Her response was slow and clipped.“You.Are.So.Dead.” She shouted the last word as she dove at the snow, scooped up a handful, and chucked it at Blake.It hit him in the shoulder as he raced to get a snowball.He threw it at her, narrowly missing her butt again as she ran for cover.Behind his unmarked police car, she made a pile of snowballs.She picked one up, crouched behind a tire, and peeked over the car.Snow sprayed her face from a snowball that erupted against the hood.She fell straight back on her butt, sputtering.A few feet away she could hear Blake’s laughter.So he wants to play dirty.She loaded her arms with ammo, sprang to her feet, and shot snowballs at Blake like a pro.When one hit him on the side of the face, she ran for it.After shaking the snow out of his ear, he was up and running after her.She cut along the side of the house, across the backyard, and into the thick woods.She crisscrossed around trees and hunkered behind a bush.The icy arms of winter wrapped around her as she watched Blake.He was following her footprints in the snow.She stayed quiet, fighting the urge to giggle.She hadn’t had fun like this since she had beat Blake in three back-to-back games of Monopoly five days ago.Her eyes were on him as he searched for her.It was a thrill to watch him, to see the way he moved with stealth and caution.She cupped a snowball in her hands and stood behind him, surprised he hadn’t heard her.Carefully, she placed a stick in front of her on the snow and slowly lifted her foot, snapping it in half with her boot.Blake spun and she let the snowball fly.It smacked him in the face and she erupted with laughter.She bent over, clutching her stomach as laughter rolled through her body.All of a sudden, she was flat on her back, pinned beneath Blake.She looked at him and his eyes were dark.She understood why immediately.“You can kiss me,” she whispered.“I won’t tell.” He traced her lips with his finger until her lips trembled with anticipation.When her mouth parted, he kissed her greedily.The inside of his mouth was hot and his kiss warmed her entire body.She slipped her hands under his jacket, needing to feel him.The moment her hands touched his skin, they burned.She pulled him closer, melting into him.She kissed him with urgency.Her tongue probed his mouth, tasting and savoring his strong flavors.Then he changed the angle of the kiss and his mouth became savage, his lips bruising.She answered it by matching his demands with her own.The kiss ignited her needs, tripled them until her body was vibrating.“Blake.” His name was a gasp and he answered it by sliding his hands over her warm flesh and cupping her breasts.“Elle,” he whispered [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
