Stormbound Cabin: 3

💦Claimed Until Dawn💦

Nico pulled me tighter against his chest as another deep rumble shook the cabin walls. Dust rained down from the wooden beams.

"We’re not dying tonight," he repeated, voice steady but tight. "But we can’t stay in here if that wall collapses."

I clutched his arm, heart hammering. "What do we do? The road’s blocked, the storm’s still raging, and we’re both naked."

He grabbed the flashlight and my clothes from the floor. "Get dressed fast. We’ll move to the front room. It’s farther from the back wall. Then we wait it out."

We threw on our damp clothes in a rush. My hands shook as I buttoned my shirt. Nico kept one hand on my back the whole time.

"You’re scared," he said, pulling me close again. "Talk to me."

"Of course I’m scared. I met you today and now we might get buried in mud and rocks together." I laughed nervously. "This is insane, Nico."

He kissed my forehead. "Insane feels right with you." Another rumble made us both freeze. "Come on."

We moved to the main room near the fireplace, dragging the thick rug and blankets with us. Nico stoked the fire higher. The flames jumped, pushing back the cold.

"Sit with me." He pulled me down between his legs, my back to his chest, arms wrapped around me. "If the worst happens, at least we’re together."

I leaned into him, feeling his heartbeat against me. "Tell me something. If we get out of this, what happens tomorrow?"

His hands slid under my shirt, warm palms on my stomach. "I take you to my actual house down the mountain. Show you the main vineyard. Cook you dinner. Then I fuck you in a real bed."

I smiled despite everything. "Bold plan."

"Realistic plan." He kissed my neck. "I don’t want this to end when the storm does, Isabella. I’ve been alone too long. You showed up broken down on the side of my mountain and turned everything upside down in one night."

I turned in his arms to face him. "I like being turned upside down by you." My hand slid down to his lap, feeling him harden. "Even now, with the mountain trying to kill us."

Nico groaned softly. "You’re dangerous."

"Good." I straddled him, grinding slowly. "Distract me from the noise outside."

He pulled my shirt over my head. "Gladly." His mouth found my breast, sucking hard on my nipple while his hands gripped my ass. "You’re so responsive. Every touch makes you wetter."

I rocked against him. "Because you know exactly what you’re doing. Keep talking while you touch me."

He unzipped my jeans and pushed them down. I kicked them off. His fingers found my pussy, sliding through my folds. "Still soaked from earlier. Even scared, you want me."

"Yes." I unzipped him and freed his thick cock. "I want you right now. Make me forget the storm."

Nico lifted me and lowered me onto him slowly. We both moaned as he filled me completely. "Fuck, Isabella. Riding me while the world shakes outside."

I started moving, rolling my hips deep. "It makes it hotter. Like we’re stealing this moment." Thunder cracked loud. The cabin vibrated. I rode him faster. "Don’t stop touching me."

His thumb found my clit, rubbing perfect circles. "You feel incredible. Tight and hot and mine tonight." He thrust up to meet me. "Tell me you feel it too. This isn’t just because we’re trapped."

"It’s not." I braced my hands on his shoulders, bouncing harder. "I feel you everywhere. Not just your cock. The way you look at me. The way you talk to me."

Nico sat up straighter, wrapping his arms around me. We moved together, chest to chest, mouths close. "I want more nights like this. Not just sex. I want to watch you take photos at dawn. I want to taste your cooking. Want to argue about stupid shit and then fuck it out."

I kissed him messy, tongues sliding. "Yes. All of it. Harder, Nico. I need it."

He flipped us so I was on my back. He drove into me deep and steady, the fire warming our skin. "Like this? Taking every inch while the mountain roars?"

"Exactly like this." I wrapped my legs high around him. "I’m close already. Don’t pull out."

The storm raged louder. The wind howled. But all I could focus on was Nico’s body, his voice, his cock hitting deep.

"Come for me," he growled. "Let me feel you while everything else falls apart."

I came hard, crying out his name as my body clenched around him. Waves rolled through me, stronger because of the fear and adrenaline mixed in. Nico thrust through it, groaning.

"I’m right there," he panted. "Where do you want me?"

"Inside. Fill me up."

He buried himself deep and came, pulsing hot. We held each other tight as the aftershocks hit both of us.

For a while we just breathed together. He stayed inside me, softening slowly.

"You’re shaking," he whispered, kissing my temple.

"From coming. And from the storm." I touched his face. "But I feel safe with you. Crazy, right?"

"Not crazy." He eased out gently and pulled the blankets over us. "I feel it too."

We lay tangled, listening to the rain and thunder. The rumbles outside slowly grew less frequent.

"Seems like the worst has passed," Nico said after a long silence. "The wall might hold."

I traced patterns on his chest. "Good. Because I want that real bed you promised."

He chuckled. "You’ll get it. And breakfast. And whatever else you want."

Morning light eventually filtered through the small windows. The storm had calmed to a drizzle. Nico carefully checked outside.

"The road is still blocked but the back wall held," he called back. "We can hike down if we’re careful. My truck is tough."

We got dressed and packed what little we had. As we stepped outside, the air smelled fresh, volcanic soil wet and alive. Etna loomed quiet in the distance.

Nico took my hand. "Stay with me for a few days. Let me show you my world."

"I’d like that." I squeezed his hand. "A lot."

We started the careful walk down. Halfway, his phone finally got a signal. It buzzed with messages.

He checked it and stopped walking. His face changed.

"What is it?" I asked.

"My brother. There was a big order cancellation while I was gone. If I don’t fix it fast, we lose a major client." He looked at me. "Life doesn’t stop just because we got trapped in heaven."

I stepped closer. "Then we face it together. I can help with photos for marketing if you want. I’m good at that."

Nico smiled, pulling me into a deep kiss right there on the muddy path. "You’re really staying?"

"For now. Maybe longer." I kissed him back. "We started with a breakdown. Let’s see where it goes."

As we continued down the mountain hand in hand, another text came through on my phone. My editor.

*Where are you? The magazine needs those Etna shots today or we kill the feature.*

I showed Nico. He laughed.

"Looks like we both have work waiting."

"Yeah." I leaned against him. "But I have a feeling we’ll find time for more cabin nights."

The sun broke through the clouds as we reached his truck. Nico opened the door for me, eyes full of promise.

This stranger from the storm had become something real in one wild night. And as we drove down toward real life, I knew we weren’t done yet.
