WINTERING

Chapter 6: I'm In Love With You

ADDITIONAL WEEKS PASS

HARPER'S POV: It was a beautiful Saturday morning when Duncan showed up at my cabin, holding a 9mm handgun in his hand. He had been talking about how important it was for me to protect myself, and I finally agreed to let him teach me how to shoot. As we headed to the backyard, I couldn't help feeling nervous and excited. I had never held a gun before, let alone shot one. I knew that Duncan was an expert marksman, and I trusted him to teach me the correct way to handle a firearm.

Duncan placed the handgun in my hand and showed me how to hold it properly. He explained the safety features and the correct way to load and unload the gun. It was all quite overwhelming, but I was determined to learn. He stood behind me, adjusting my stance and showing me how to set my target. I could feel his breath on my neck, making my heart race. I tried to focus on his instructions, but his touch was distracting. Suddenly, his fingers grazed over mine as we held the gun together, making me shiver.

My gaze flickered to him, and I could see a hint of desire in his eyes. He quickly composed himself, but I couldn't help feeling a sudden attraction towards him. I cleared my throat and tried to refocus on the task at hand. As I aimed the gun toward the target, his hands slid down to my hips, guiding my stance and making me aware of his presence behind me. I could feel his warm breath on my shoulder as he whispered encouraging words in my ear. I squeezed the trigger, he let out a low groan.

My heart skipped a beat, and I turned to see a look of pure desire on his face. I couldn't believe my effect on him, and it only fueled my desire. Duncan quickly composed himself and congratulated me on my shot. I could tell that he was still struggling to stay focused. We continued with the lesson, but the tension between us was palpable. Duncan's touch was now purposeful, his breath on my skin. And as I aimed and fired, his hand slid over mine, guiding my movements.

It was like a dance, with the gun as our partner. And in that moment, it was just the two of us, lost in our world. I could feel the heat between us, and I knew that this lesson had turned into something much more intimate. As the sun set, we finished our lesson with a final shot. This time, instead of congratulating me, Duncan pulled me into his arms and kissed me passionately. We stood there, holding each other, I knew this was just the beginning of our wild and unexpected journey together.

"Do you want to race back to the cabin?" He says abruptly and smirking. I found him mysterious and irresistible. When Duncan invited me for the race back to the cabin, I didn't hesitate to accept. I was laughing at how spontaneous Duncan was. I think that my life will never be dull again. We finally reached the cabin, and as the evening went on, the conversation flowed easily between us. We talked and laughed more, and before we knew it, the snow had turned into a blizzard, trapping us in the cabin.

I'm smothering from our passionate, heavy eye contact, suddenly I see Duncan glint his eyes and he pulls me into his arms again as we kiss passionately, our bodies intertwined on the floor before the fireplace. The fireplace is cracking loudly. Duncan's rough hands explored my soft curves, and I moaned in pleasure as he trailed kisses down my neck. We made our way to the table by the front door. The candles flickering in the dimly lit room added to the intimacy and passion of our moment together.

Our clothes were discarded, and our bodies became one, moving in perfect harmony. Duncan took control and showed me ecstasy like I had never experienced before. We explored each other's bodies in every corner of the cabin. The passion between us was intense and unbridled, fueled by the coldness of the winter night outside. The morning light finally broke through the windows, Duncan and I were still tangled together on the table, exhausted but satisfied. As we gazed at each other in each other's arms with a newfound connection, they knew this was just the beginning.
