Tinsel Me, Baby!

by Claire Ashlynn

  “Fuck, we need to get you inside like now!” He shouts. He wraps his arm around my shoulder and tries to lead me toward the path. I stumble and almost face plant on the ground, he growls something and scoops me up in his arms. It takes up to twenty minutes to fight the wind and snow back to my rental cabin. I can’t believe I was this close to the cabin. I could have died a hundred yards from safety.

  We stumble up the porch. As we reach the door, I turn the knob and he kicks in the door and slams it shut with his foot. I am shivering so intensely that my teeth feel like they’re going to crack soon.

  Eull lays me on the couch and throws several logs on the fire. He rushes into the bathroom and I can hear him turn the water on. He rushes back through, checking on the fire before heading to the kitchen and putting the kettle on. He hasn’t said anything to me yet, but I can tell he’s upset. I’m so cold that I don’t think I have it in me to care right now. All I want to do is sleep.

  My eyes slip closed as he bolts to me. “No! Wake up! You can’t sleep yet. I have to get you warm first.” He gives my shoulders a quick shake.

  “Please, so tired,” I mumble.

  My eyes shoot open when he starts grabbing my clothes then pulling them off forcefully. “What the hell?” I ask with a little bit more voice. I weakly tried to push his hands away.

  “I’ve got to get you into a warm bath. It’ll help raise your body temperature.” He leaves my undergarments on and scoops me up into his arms. He unceremoniously dumps me into a tub of warm water.

  I scream as the warm water hits my too cold skin. It feels like it's burning. I know somewhere in the back of my mind that he wouldn’t purposely try to hurt me but shit, this hurts. I grab the front of his shirt trying to pull myself out of the water. He kneels down beside the tub as he holds me close whispering comforting words into my ear. I sob out my agony. Within ten minutes, my temperature regulates, and he pulls me out of the water. He vigorously rubs my body with towels and scoops me up and deposits me by the fire on a blanket. He goes to my room and drags the comforter from my bed back with him.

  In his hands is dry undergarments. He thrusts them at me. “Change” he demands. I can tell by how tight his lips are that he is still not ready to talk to me yet. It’s not like I did it on purpose. He turns his back as I quickly change and spreads the comforter next to the fire.

  Not sure what to do, I walk up to him and lay my hands on his back. He groans, and spins toward me. He grabs me by my shoulders and crushes me to his chest. He takes big gulps of air before saying, “I could have lost you after just finding you.”

  I lean my head back and look him in the eyes. He intensely stares at me, looks at me like he’s looking at my soul. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him down closer. Our lips touch and I feel on fire. He deepens the kiss as I whimper. Grabbing his shirt, I begin to slide it up. He takes it from my hands and rips it up and off. He grips my bra and gazes at me looking for my consent.

  I gasp” Yes.” and he continues to undress me. He slips out of his clothes and lifts me into his arms. Eull lays me gently on the makeshift bed by the fire. His eyes dance from the firelight. Tilting my head, he licks and pecks at my collar bone and continues down to my breast. He sucks my nipple into his mouth and nips slightly. I hiss at the intense pain pleasure as he kisses the sing away. Not to ignore the other breast he crosses to it and gives it the same treatment. Slowly crawling down my body, he worships it as he travels to my core. My pussy is soaked by the time he reaches it. My muscles contract around nothing seeking release.

  His tongue touches my clit with a soft caress and my body jumps and arches up for more. “Oh, Please.” I groan I want more.

  A finger slips into my core, as his tongue picks up speed. He strokes deeper and faster, adding another finger. He stretches me as he seeks my sweet spot. Finding it, I whimper and my body moves, looking for more. He grips my hip and holds me in place.

  My orgasm builds higher and higher, and he hits the right spot. I crash and scream my release. With a last swipe of his tongue and a quick kiss. He slides up my body.

  Gazing down into my eyes, he positions his dick at my entrance and slowly slides it up and down through my lips. My overstimulated clit spasms. He slips his head slightly in. Holy shit, He’s huge. My walls stretch to their max to accommodate his girth.

  I place my hand on his chest and slightly push. He looks concerned.

  “Give me a minute, big guy. You’re slightly larger than I would have thought.” I whisper. Try like massively larger, but I’m not telling him that. He doesn’t need two big heads.

  “Are you okay?” He asks gently.

  “Yes, I’m good.”

  He reaches down and caresses my clit with his thumb. Oh, God, yes.

  My pussy squeezes his dick, and he groans. “Now?” He begs.

  “Yes...” I gasp.

  He pumps his dick slowly in and out, working his length in. It takes a few strokes for him to bottom out. He is so deep, I swear I can taste him.

  I lift my hips for more. “More...faster...please…” I purr.

  He sits back and slightly wraps his hand near my neck with very little pressure. It turns me on. Who would have thought I was into a little kink. He sets a swift and deep pace. I’m moaning and screaming out another orgasm before I know it.

  He pounds into me and groans. Leaning down he kisses my lips, cheek, and trails to my throat.

  Sliding to the side he pulls me into his arms and pulls the blanket over us. My eyelids feel heavy and I’m so sleepy.

  I cuddle closer, he feels so warm and safe.

  “Get some sleep, I’m not even close to done with you.” He promises, and he keeps that promise.

  Chapter Eight

  Eull

  A bright light shines through the window. I’ve never slept this late before. It didn’t help that we were up most of the night with only small dozing naps between bouts of intense lovemaking and just talking about our lives. Love… Damn, I think I do love her. She is so perfect for me. She keeps me on my toes and is easy to talk to.

  I scoot out from under the covers, trying to keep the warm air trapped inside. The temperature in the cabins is frigid. I dress quickly. Tossing several logs on the fire, I head into the kitchen to see what can be done about some breakfast. The power is off, but the stove is gas and works. Thank god for small favors. I set the kettle on to boil and make some quick breakfast of soft scrambled eggs and bacon.

  I take quick glances at Celeste and see that she’s starting to stretch and move.

  I put a teabag with a healthy scoop of sugar in a coffee cup and pour water in. With no power, the coffee pot isn’t working so I make myself a cup of tea as well. Serving up the food on plates, I take them in by the fire and put them on the coffee table and return for the tea.

  Celeste pops her head up and says, “Oh shit, it’s really cold in here.”

  “Yeah, we lost power last night during the storm,” I respond as I stir the coal in the fire and add more logs. I hand her the hot tea and she says thank you.

  She looks around startled, “Natie?”

  “It’s okay, Klaus radioed me last night and told me they bunkered down at his place,” I reassure her.

  She visibly relaxes and I swear I heard her say, “You go girl.” She grins at me, so damn sexy. Her hair is sticking up all over the place, her lips are swollen and red. She looks truly loved, and my chest swells with pride.

  “What you grinnin’ at there, big guy?” She says through her own grin.

  “Most likely the same reason you are.” I lean down and pluck a kiss from her lips. “You hungry?”

  “Mmm...yes, please.” her response has me hard again. Instead of handing her breakfast, I take her cup from her hand and strip down. Crawling in the blanket with her I continue where we left off last night.

  I kiss her until we’re both out of breath. I line up with her entrance and plunge in. She gasps in my mouth and I swallow it down as I take her with fast an
d hard strokes. She screams her orgasm, as mine begins to tingle down my spine. My sack pulls tight and I roar as my cum paints the walls of her pussy.

  I drop down beside her breathing heavily, pulling her close, I kiss her on the temple.

  “Mmm... good morning to you, too.” She laughs through her panting.

  Peering into her eyes, I feel my heart fill with love. I have no uncertainty, I truly believe I can build a life with this woman. “I love you... Hold on, let me finish.” I say when she starts to say something. “I know we don’t really know each other, but I want to. Let’s live out life learning each other and having adventures. Maybe no more blizzard hiking, but there is so much I want to learn and experience with you. What do you say?” I brace for her denial and rejection.

  “Yes, I want to go on this great adventure with you. I feel this burning love for you, too. I know this flame can grow to a blazing bonfire if given the chance.” She says as she hugs me close.

  Celeste

  Shock rocks my heart as his words pour out of his soul. He is perfect for me. He can handle my spontaneous and spunky personality, and I have a feeling that he would help me navigate this crazy world and make it better. After agreeing to our new adventurous life, we contact Natalie and Klaus to check up on them. They handled the storm well. Unfortunately, we are both stuck in the cabin. When we tried to leave, the door opens to a wall of snow.

  Eull eventually makes a tunnel so we can get to the wood stacked on the porch, but we don’t see a reason to try and leave the warm cabin when roads will be impassable for what Eull says could be days. We make good use of our time as we get to know each other better between intense and slow loving making rounds.

  Eull makes it to the tree line the next day and cuts me a small Christmas tree. We pull out the decorations that Natalie and I bought and set it up naked. Talk about an adventure, a new one in my book. Decorating a tree naked. We touch each other as we move around the tree. I pull out the sparkly silver tinsel and toss a few strands here and there. Eull comes up behind me and bends me over the couch. The tinsel falls to the floor as he takes me fast and hard. He rubs my clit as his dick pounds into my pussy. We come at the same time.

  Sliding to the floor, he rolls me to my back, and we continue where we left off. I flip him over and climb on top. I can see the glittering tinsel shine form the sunlight filtering in through the window. By the time we are done, we are covered in it. We both laugh until we have tears running down our faces.

  I know that we have a lot to learn about each other and we will have our ups and downs. No matter what life hands us, we will face them head-on together.

  Epilogue

  Eull

  Seven years later, and I can’t be more in love with my Celeste than when we spent the first time together. Who would have thought a snowstorm could bring two souls together. Two days without power lead to the best thing that ever happened to me.

  Once the storm died down, we were caught at the rental cabin by Klaus and Natalie. I wished they had waited a little bit longer so we could have had more time together, and for the fact that they saw a bit more than I would have liked. The power was out for another day and a half, but we survived just like we had the first two days, in each other’s arms.

  We didn’t want the girls to leave so soon after, but they had jobs and lives to put into order. They really wanted to finish out their school year with their students. As much as I didn’t want to be without Celeste for the next six months, I knew this was something she had to do. Then in early February, everything changed. First Natalie found out she was pregnant. Klaus didn’t want her so far away. So, Natalie gave her two-week notice and was packing up her belongings when Celeste found out she was pregnant too, and there was no way in hell that she was going to stay any longer than necessary without me. I didn’t want to miss the pregnancy and I was missing her too much.

  Our resort was doing well and remained busy every weekend. Natalie and Celeste took over the idea of turning the large cabin into a bed and breakfast since it was one of our biggest cabins. Klaus and I agreed that it would be a great idea and had the girls design and run it. We opened the bed and breakfast Memorial Day weekend with every room rented out. It was a big hit.

  Natalie and Celeste run the bed and breakfast to this day. They absolutely love it. We had to hire a couple of people to help take care of things while we aren’t available, mostly nights and weekends.

  Our son Hans was born that late summer and Celeste was overjoyed. She has dim memories of her parents and knew she would be okay. The next year, we welcomed a set of twin girls. Man, I know we’re in for some trouble later in life. I love my sweet Addie and Hannah. It’s wonderful living and working closely with my brother and his family. Our children get to grow up together.
