Page 27 of A Billionaire's Cabin Love

**P**

The cold air whipped across my face as I clutched the bars of the sleigh.

Eight barking, husky dogs led each of our sleighs. Their paws smacked the snow packed paths through the Alaska woods.

“Woo-hoo,” Kara shouted ahead of me.

“This is invigorating,” I yelled.

Kara threw her gloved hand in the air before tapping her brake as she leaned into the curve.

I glanced up at the clear blue sky on the cold January day. This was the life. Absolutely loved nature. Even more loved experiencing nature through Kara’s eyes.

We stopped at a nearby lake. I snapped photos of the snow capped mountains in the distance.

Grabbing her hand, I tugged her into my arms. “Smile.”

She flashed those pearly whites and so did I as I snapped our picture.

“Are you ready to continue on our journey to the igloo’s?”

I pushed my camera into my oversized pocket.

My brown eyes bore into hers as I held her closer. I swept my gloved hand along her red cheeks. Leaning over, I pressed my lips against her soft ice-cold ones. Parting my lips, I pulled her lower lip between mine. She moaned into our kiss. Yup, just the effect I needed to have on her. Kara’s palms pressed into my chest, separating our lips. Her eyes darted back and forth between mine.

“We need to leave now, so we can make it by sun down.”

I pecked her lips again. “Ok.”

Her hand fell over her lips as she walked toward her sleigh.

I was determined to make Kara my woman. No playing nice. No one would stop me from having her as my woman.

Kara turned her sleigh right and twelve igloos came into view. A huge smile took over my lips. It was freezing cold. I didn’t care, I always wanted to experience the great outdoors. A tall guy wearing a bomber hat with ear flaps greeted Kara. He hugged her. My blood coursed through my veins. I stepped off my sleigh and approached.

“Hello,” I smirked.

Kara stared between me and the dark-skinned guy.

“Garrett, this is my client, Collin Daughtry.”

He stretched his gloved hand toward me, grinning from ear to ear. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Daughtry.”

“Likewise. Beautiful place you have here, Garrett.”

He stepped back and stared at the beautiful igloos. “Thanks. I’ll show you to your igloo. Me and Kara will feed the dogs.”

My smile dropped. Her eyes widened. I forgot she was still working. This was my vacation, not hers and I hated that. She deserved to enjoy the scenery and relax. How could I change that?

“I can assist you, Garrett. I’d like Kara to relax. She slept most of yesterday, since she was under the weather.”

His brow wrinkled. “She’s a bit of a workaholic.”

Garrett peered at her. “If I would have known, Kara I would have brought you soup.” His eyes warmed as he stared at her.

If she could have turned any redder, she would have. Her lips pursed together.

My jaw ticked.
