down so thick and so fast, he could barely make out the buildings on the other side of Michigan Avenue.
Unbelievable. What was supposed to have been a manageable snowfall of three to five inches had turned into a blizzard during the night. The entire city was on hold until the snowplows could get out and do their thing, but since everyone had been caught by surprise, they couldnât do anything until the snow let up. A lot.
And the snow didnât show any sign of letting up. At all.
The situation was going to be untenable for a while. No one would be going anywhere until tomorrow at theearliest. Not that Marcus cared. Because it meant that the one night Della had promised was all she could give him would now, by necessity, become two.
That was something he should definitely care about. The last thing he looked for in a one-night stand was for it to last more than one night. Hell, half the time he was safely back at his place before the night was even over. Once he was sexually satisfied by a woman, there was never any reason to hang around. Even the prospect of being sexually satisfied a second time rarely kept him from leaving.
But with Della, even being satisfied a third time hadnât quelled his appetite for more. Once heâd regained enough strength to manage it. Theyâd both been insatiable last night, to the point where theyâd slept only long enough to recover from their previous coupling, then come together even more fiercely than before. That third time, theyâd had to rely on oral gratification alone to bring each other to climax, since the second time had been so rough. Not that either of them had seemed to mind. Della had been as demanding and wild as a tigress, and Marcus had mounted her the way a jungle cat would have claimed his mate.
And even that hadnât been enough to satisfy him. In fact, that had only made him want her more. When heâd awoken that morning beside her, their bodies had been so intricately entwined, heâd barely been able to tell where hers ended and his began. Marcus never slept with a woman after having sex with her. Never. And heâd certainly never gathered one close that way and held her with such possessiveness. For a long time after waking, heâd only lain silently beside her, holding her, listening to her soft respiration, inhaling her scent. It was different now. Last night sheâd smelled soft andflowery. This morning she smelled musky and dark. And, God help him, Marcus had grown hard against her as he lay there, and it had been all he could do not to take her again in her sleep. Instead, heâd eased his way out of the bed without waking her, donned the robe and called for room service.
Even its arrival hadnât woken Della. But that might be because Marcus had intercepted the steward in the hallway when heâd heard the rattle of the approaching cart and brought it in himself. He hadnât wanted to wake her before she was ready. Strangely, however, that hadnât been because he wanted her rested up for another night like last nightâand, hey, maybe a day like last night, tooâbut because he simply liked watching her sleep.
He turned away from the window and let go of the sheer curtains, throwing the room into an otherworldly dusk created by the thickly falling snow. He loved the understated luxury of the Ambassador, loved the taupe walls and buff-colored, cleanly tailored furnishings with the dashes of blues and greens in the form of throw pillows and abstract artwork. Heâd wanted a suite, of course, but there hadnât been one available. At the time, it hadnât seemed a problem, since heâd known he and Della would only need the place for a few hours. Now that their stay was looking to be for most of the weekend, it would have been nice to have a little more room to spread out.
He looked over at the bed, where she still slept, and smiled. Then again, there was a lot to be said for close
