Frozen Valentine

your hands aren’t stained, they’re beautiful.” Shit, if I didn’t need to get outside, I’d be pulling her leggings down and fuckin’ her right here on this countertop.
Instead, I settle for taking her mouth for a heated kiss to which my cock throbs for more, especially, when my Snowflake moans into my mouth for more.
I lift my mouth off of Blake’s and press my forehead against hers. “I need to get out there and speak with both Leo and Christian. Stay in here and stay warm, okay?”
“Okay,” she says breathlessly.
“Good girl, I’ll be back in a few minutes,” I say and press one last kiss to her luscious mouth.
Damn, I’m never going to go without kissing her. She’s addicting in every way possible.
Stepping away from Blake, I head for the door grabbing my jacket from beside the door where I had hung it up after coming in from getting firewood. Hopefully, we’ll have enough for the remainder of the evening.
Outside, I find the two men looking over the ATVs, we have four that we keep here because of the terrain, it’s good for mobility when you’re out hunting and whatnot.
“What’s the news?” I ask soon as I’m close enough for them to hear me without yelling.
“She okay?” Leo asks, and I nod in response.
“Careful with her when she gets like that, Theo, she doesn’t do it often but when things get to be too much she’ll have moments like this. Blame it on the fact my parents would lock her away whenever she got excited about anything or as punishment for not abiding by their rules,” Christian growls, explaining the reason for her reaction inside.
Blake being overwhelmed with everything changing so quickly for her must be taking its toll on her.
I can understand this and help her through it. I look forward to being the one to help her through when she needs me to.
Nodding, I clear my throat. “We going to get the SUV out of the snow?” I ask.
“Nope, we’re gearing up the ATVs. Don’t have time. Diego and Nicolo have spotted Ethan Dalca and Christian’s parents. We have maybe thirty minutes to get out of here. We need to take the ATVs and get to the other side of the mountain,” Leo mutters.
“Fuck, okay, I need to go get Blake. What about Blue?” I know she’s not going to leave her dog.
“I’m gonna strap Blue to the back of mine. Nicolo and Diego are gonna meet us when we get to the other side of the mountain in town,” Christian says.
I nod. This is the main reason for the ATVs, they’re quick for getting through the area when cars can’t be used. Turning on my heel, I rush back into the cabin and come to a halt when I find Blake standing there in the middle of the room with a knife to her throat and Boian, one of Andreas Gheata’s men, standing behind her.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
How the fuck did he get past two of our best enforcers? He had to have been watching, waiting for the perfect time to act.
“You wanna let her go?” I sneer.
“Nope, I think I’ll just hold her to me until her owner gets here. This bitch is now Gheata property,” Boian says snidely.
I don’t fuckin’ think so.
Blake is mine and I’m not about to let some asshole take her from me. She’s no property of the Gheatas. My Snowflake is a De Luca and the first chance I get I’m going to make it official. I don’t care if we only just started out.
I meet Blake’s gaze surprised to find her staring at me with trust rather than fear. I’m sure she’s scared out of her mind right now but she’s keeping herself in check. Good thing too. If she were showing that fear it would easily set me off.
I need to find a way to get her away from this man. I notice Blue out of the corner of my eye coming to. Fuckhead must have hurt her. Blue stands to her feet and shakes herself off while locking gazes on the man holding a knife to Blake.
Growling, she gets into a stance ready to attack. Boian turns his gaze minutely to look at the dog and it gives me the opening I need. I launch myself at him jerking the knife away from Blake’s throat. “Run,” I yell at her as I swing my fist at Boian connecting with his jaw. I need to get her out of here and then kill this asshole for daring to touch what’s mine.
Boian staggers back and then regains his footing. “Don’t run too far, your owner will be here soon to collect you,” he quips.
Something about his words causes me to snap and my vision goes red. I am not going to let anyone take her from me. Punch after punch, I pummel the fucker until he’s on the ground and I’m hovering over him. I finish him off by reaching out, grabbing both sides of his head, and snapping his neck.
Standing, I turn around breathing heavily to find Blake having not moved. She’s standing there with Blue at her feet staring at me with wide eyes. Tears well in them and I start to say something but the woman surprises me yet again by launching herself at me.
Blake wraps her arms around me and buries her face in my chest. “I’m so sorry you had to do that,” she cries.
“Bella, no crying. I’d do anything for you. Now let’s get out of here. Grab your boots and put them on. We don’t have time for you to change clothes. We gotta get out of here. Ethan Dalca and your parents are on their way up here,” I say, earning a nod from her.
Blake quickly does as I ask and grabs a jacket from the hook by the front door. At least that will be something to protect her from the weather outside. “I’m ready,” she whispers, sliding the jacket into place.
I
