“Oh.”
The end pops off and I’m met with clear fleshy-looking material. Like plump pillows lining the entrance of the tube. I test them with the tip of my finger to find the material silky smooth and squishy. Then I press harder and my finger sinks inside.
My heart leaps into my throat as my brain catches up with what I’m holding. I’ve only ever seen them in adult movies but it’s undoubtedly a humongous fleshlight.
“Holy shit, it’s huge,” I giggle, and shove another finger into the fleshy hole. The suction inside squeezes my digits as I finger the sex toy.
It’s like pure comedy to me as I fuck the toy with my hand, giggling to myself like a maniac. I’m still not sure why it’s so long, given it’s the length of my arm and thicker too!
“Blake?” Arden’s voice carries down the hallway and I jump out of my skin.
Ripping my fingers free, I clumsily re-screw the lid and throw it into the drawer before slamming it shut behind me. Just in time for Arden to turn the corner of his room and peer at me with a confused gaze.
“What are you doing?” His voice licks at my skin.
I’m practically vibrating with a mix of lust and embarrassment. “N-nothing. Just getting a beanie.”
It’s impossible to hold my smile as I cough behind the back of my hand.
Nodding slowly, Arden’s gaze sweeps over me. “I was calling for you.”
My stomach plummets and the fuzzy bubble of happiness inside of my bursts. “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you.”
Stepping closer to me, Arden softens his gaze, his hands reaching out to rub the sides of my arms. “Don’t be sorry. I just got worried.” His eyes flick over my shoulder at the drawers as if he can tell I’ve been snooping.
My cheeks heat further and I drop my gaze to my booted feet; snow still sticks to the laces.
“Come on, it’s lunch time.” Arden drops his hands and turns to the hallway, his footsteps thrumming with the pounding in my ears.
“Lunch time?” I hurry after him. “We only just ate.”
Chuckling lightly, Arden pulls out a loaf of bread along with lettuce, ham and cheese. “It’s been four hours since breakfast. And you need to keep eating to stay warm up here.”
My saliva catches in the back of my throat and I sputter, “If I keep eating this much I’ll get fat.”
Taking a seat on the stool opposite the kitchen, I lift my gaze to meet the fire burning inside Arden’s. His lips pull back into a grin and his hulking form seems to take up the entire room. “I would have nothing wrong with you gaining some weight, sweet thing. Just more for me to hold.”
My soul leaves my body as my jaw drops and I freeze. As if a button is pressed deep inside of me, my entire body shivers with a raw wave of lust. My dick twitches in my pants as it fills with blood.
Images of Arden’s large, thick hands roaming my body flash through my mind. And not just my thin frame but one fuller, plumper and healthier. One with curves where his fingers sink into my soft edges. His mountainous form, covered in that layer of body hair from neck to feet against my pale smooth skin. Like a beast ravaging its prey.
“Oh,” I whisper.
A plate with a sandwich lands before me.
“Eat,” Arden orders.
I eye the food, feeling his gaze licking at my face as he watches me. Tentatively, I pick up the sandwich and take a small bite from the edge. Somehow the four-ingredient meal tastes so much better than it usually would. Maybe it’s because I’m not eating it in my barren, stone cold kitchen back home. Or maybe it’s because Arden made it.
I don’t want to sit on either thought for long. I can’t pretend this is my life. Not when the end of the week is growing nearer with every second that ticks by. Not when I know there’s no escape from my father, no matter where I run away to. I know he’ll find me.
“Do I have to force you to eat? You’re still shivering.” Arden’s voice snaps me back to reality. My ass aches against the cold stool, my back also aches as I hunch over the plate and my jaw begins chewing again.
“Sorry,” I mutter around a mouthful. “Thank you for the meal.”
Taking the last bite of his sandwich and making another, Arden murmurs, “You’re welcome, sweet thing.”
I eat the rest of my sandwich in silence and so does he. The entire cabin sits in this comfortable lull with the snow falling beyond the roof and the fire burning away the cold from the room.
