Page 77 of Seduced By You

A growl rumbled through her chest. My dick stood at attention. I snagged her around the waist. “Make that noise again.”

“No. You obviously like it, and I’m trying to punish you, not reward you.”

I faked a full-body shudder. “Baby, you can punish me any time you like.”

Rolling her eyes, she wriggled out of my hold and flicked on the kettle. “Whereareyou taking me, anyway?”

“Val d’Isère.”

Her eyes widened. “Skiing?”

“Yep. I own a lodge there.”

“You’re an expert skier, then?”

“Learned as a child.”

“Great.” Sarcasm laced her tone.

“You’ve never been skiing?”

“Affirmative.”

“I’ll teach you.”

“I envision spending more time on my arse than on my feet.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll kiss every bruise.”

“You’re just looking for excuses to get me naked.”

I took the packet of tea bags out of her hand and set them on the counter. Encircling her waist, I pulled her close. “I don’t need any excuses to get you naked.”

“Confidence comes before a fall.”

“You mean pride.”

“That, too.”

I laughed. “We’ll have fun. I guarantee it. The resort is beautiful, and the lodge has a real fire we can curl up in front of.”

“Does it have a bearskin rug on the floor, too, where we can make love while our legs char in front of the flames?”

I laughed again. “It does have a rug, although no animals were harmed in production. A few sheep might’ve been sheared, but that’s about it.”

“Okay, but if I’m rubbish at this skiing thing—”

“You won’t be.”

“Famous last words.”

“Kadon! Look at me! I’m upright.”

Lee brandished her ski pole in the air. Big mistake. She lost her balance and landed on freshly fallen snow.

“Oof.”
