Sorry guys I posted the wrong chapter here before, it was chapter 3 for another story of mine, this is the proper chapter 3 for Snowed In. Thank you to Cookies03 for pointing it out to me! much appreciated

The first thing Penelope became conscious of was she started to wake up was a hand caressing her breast. It felt good, but then she wondered why there was a hand on her breast and another one around her waist. For a second when she woke up she didn't know where she was or who was laying behind her. She looked around, starting to remember when she heard that voice "Good morning Beautiful", she blushed before responding "Good morning Luke"

She waited a minute or two, "Ah you can remove your hand anytime" and he was embarrassed that he'd forgotten about that, moving his hand off the couch and whispering "Sorry, I must have been asleep"

She smirked at him, knowing he wasn't sorry, but that it probably was unintentional. She needed to pee, as she started moving around he moved his other arm, freeing her, but when she put an arm outside the blankets she shivered and drew it back in.

"It's way too cold out there and too nice in here for me to get up" she muttered.

Luke smiled, "It is nice in here isn't it?"

She turned around to face him, her legs still between his but now her hips brushing against his cock, and he couldn't stop his erection that started forming. Even worse, he could feel her breasts against his chest and despite thing to think about every non-sexy thing he could he knew she could feel it.

Oh my god, he's totally hard she realized. That wasn't an overnight, in his sleep kind of thing either.

While she was flattered, sort-of, that he got aroused by her, she couldn't help but wonder if it was just any female body pressed up that close against him.

Talk about awkward, she didn't know whether it was better to pretend it wasn't there or to bring it up. She knew the one thing she shouldn't do was touch it. She went for ignore, and finally got up to go to the bathroom. She noticed how flushed she was when she got in there and was pretty sure it wasn't just from the cold. When she came out, Luke was up, and had put a few more logs on the fire, and then headed to the bathroom himself.

She spent some time scrounging up some breakfast for them, and heating up some water for hot cocoa, and Luke went outside to try and assess the firewood situation.

He came back in and smiled as he saw Penelope pouring hot cocoa into the mugs, and he took one of the granola bars she offered him, taking a bite before explaining what he'd found

"There is another small wood pile out back, about as much wood as was inside, but apart from that I can't find anything. I did find an axe, so theoretically I could chop down a tree but fresh wood doesn't burn well and most of the trees are pretty tall to be cutting down by oneself in the snow"

"Could I help?"

"If it comes to that I will gladly accept your help, but I think even then it would still be pretty dangerous. There is one smaller tree I think I'm going to go chop up now and bring inside, I don't know if one day would rally make a difference for drying it out but it might help"

"Prentiss is calling" she said, looking at her phone and answering it

"Hello, you've reached the rustic snow lodge, how can we help you?" she said, bringing a smile to his face and to Prentiss's.

"I just wanted to check in and see how you guys were doing. I don't know how much phone battery you have left but are you guys ok?"

"Yeah, we're doing alright. Phone is running low I think I have about 40% battery and Luke's is a little higher, but we're not using them for anything but calling you guys or checking the weather occasionally"

"Are you staying warm?"

"Yeah, we really are doing ok, she said. This cabin doesn't have electricity but it does have a fireplace, and I know Luke is concerned we might run out of firewood but for now that's enough to keep us warm"

"We should have enough for today, it's tomorrow that might be a problem" Luke said, looking out the window "I see it's still snowing"

"Yeah, everyone keeps telling me it is a freak blizzard" Prentiss replied, "I think they're just trying to cover their asses because they failed to warn us about the storm"

"Well, they did tell us it was going to snow, but even the weather apps and radar made it look like it was going to be a light snow, less than 2 inches" Penelope said

"Yeah, well down here we're already at 15" down here, I couldn't find reports up where you guys are but I can't imagine its better"

"I'd say about the same here Prentiss" Luke replied.

"Unfortunately, given the stretch of road and how steep it is, the local fire and rescue said it's far too dangerous to try and drive up there and the winds are too bad to send a helicopter" Prentiss explained.

"If the situation gets really bad I'll fly the dam helicopter myself" Rossi chimed in, "but if you guys are safe, then it's probably better to wait"

"I understand. Don't take any risks on our behalf for now. We're fine. Penelope is probably getting a little sick of me, but we've got food, and a fire, so we are fine for now"

"Hopefully the snow will stop at some point today and we can come get your later to today or first thing tomorrow"

"I think that should be fine, just let us know if things change or if you're coming so we can watch out for you" Luke said, "I'm not sure how visible this cabin is anymore, apart from smoke from the chimney it may just look like a hill of snow"

"Got it, stay warm and safe" Prentiss said, hanging up.

"$100 says those two have already had sex" Rossi said, unable to resist a bet.

"I'm not taking that bet for $1, the real question is whether they already had before the snow, or if they did last night" Prentiss said, knowing she shouldn't but she loved a good bet.

"Fine, $100 that they didn't hook up till the cabin, last night or early this morning"

"Deal, I'm betting that they already had before the cabin"

"Ooh, I want in on a bet" JJ said, walking into the room, "what are we betting on?" matt asked as he also walked in with JJ.

"Oh, just on whether Penelope and "newbie" have hooked up yet or not" Prentiss said shaking her head at herself.

"Ooh, I'll put $100 on they haven't yet, but will before they get out of the cabin or get back here" JJ said

"Well, I'm probably insane, but since it's the only option left, I'll bet they have not had sex by the time they get back here" Matt replied

"Game On" Rossi said, knowing it was probably not very nice to make bets on their co-workers' personal lives but it was a strange way of feeling better about them stranded out there, hoping they would be alright.

"You seem pretty confident about your bet" Rossi said to JJ. "Yeah, well I know my girl." JJ said, smirking.

JJ knew that Luke liked Penelope, and that Penelope liked Luke but also that she was afraid he wasn't serious. She knew it could be pretty hard to resist if they were holed up in that cabin together, probably sharing a bed due to the cabin being small and it being cold. But she had a feeling that Penelope had resisted, or Luke had resisted making a move last night, but that it would be much harder to last longer, tonight would be much harder.
