Instead of testing out my new snowsuit, we found excuses to make love in every
part of the suite. Jeremy didn’t know it, but I tried to replace each of my cheap acts of lust with his loving. Pretending to be the scientist, the bookstore clerk, the biker, and the prom date, he thought I was role playing. Our new love was
insatiable.
On the last day, we forced ourselves to test out the slopes, but one fall led to
a frigid make out session. Sadly, our four days of bliss had to come to an end. As the plane landed in San Diego, Jeremy kissed my hand
“I don’t want anyone else, Caitlyn. This is the real thing. Am I enough for you, too?” he asked.
Tears of joy filled my eyes and I answered him with a kiss. The door to my
past was locked and I threw away the skeleton key.

Everything changed. I was officially Jeremy’s girlfriend. We became
inseparable. Thomas, Jacob, and my mother were happy I found a kind
man who stole my heart. Even with this affection, my mother warned
me that a man like Jeremy would be hard to keep devoted. I ignored her jealous
words.
Months after we returned, Jeremy was offered a job with The Hayes James
Group. The marketing director’s promises of a seventy-five thousand annual salary, plus bonuses, were too tempting for Jeremy to not take the job. I was worried since the headquarters were a hundred miles away in Los Angeles, but
Jeremy juggled everything with finesse.
He worked in the San Diego office three days a week and was put up in a corporate condo during the weekends. Jeremy had been hired to wine and dine the clientele. This meant Thursday through Sunday, he had to be in L.A. and ready to treat the clients to a weekend they would never forget
During the week, I found myself staying at his apartment. Not only was it close to my job but it would ensure that I saw him the minute he returned from
LA. At first, my mother was worried about the arrangement, but before I knew
it, Jeremy had worked his magic on her.
“Caitlyn, you told me you are ahead of the game with your edits. Come spend
the weekend with me. The clients love you,” Jeremy pleaded. Enveloping me in
his arms, he nibbled on my neck.
“I’d love to go, but I need to focus on finishing this novel.” I wriggled out of
his grasp. I knew, if I didn’t break the spell, I would be packing my overnight bag and forgetting my responsibilities.
“Fine.” Pouting, he flopped on the couch and continued his guilt trip, “I’ll go
all by myself to the big scary city.”
“I am sure you will be fine. Do you want to take my pepper spray to protect
you?” I laughed
Jeremy caught my hand and pulled me onto his lap. “I’ll forgive you this time,” he purred in my ear. “We will just have to make the best of the next few
hours before I leave you.”
Instead of changing my mind about going with him, Jeremy and I spent the next
two hours quenching our physical desires. Jeremy was the master of seduction.
He would bring me to the brink, and then slowly tease until I was begging for him. It was like the universe made us for each other. His technique worked, and
we both exploded in pleasure.
“This should keep you tied over,” Jeremy said breathlessly.
I snuggled into his arms, inhaling his scent. I traced my nails down his chest
