let anything happen to you.”
    Jaelyn came with the bill, and they both reached for their wallets. 
    “I got it,” he said.
    Grace crinkled her nose.  “We should split, it’s not like this was a date.”
    Something strange moved over his face, a look she couldn’t identify, then he said, “No I got it.  Tonight was my night to cook, anyway.”
    She folded her arms and leaned back in her chair.  “Okay, fine, but don’t think paying for dinner is going to get you into my pants,” she teased. 
    Nate put his hand to his mouth and coughed.  Hard. 
    She eyed him carefully.  He was either getting sick, or something else was going on with him.
     

 

Chapter Four
     
    “It’s the bunny hill,” Nate said.  “There is nothing to be afraid of.  Just do it exactly like I showed you, and you won’t have any problems.”
    With her poles at her sides, Grace widened her legs, creating a wedge with her skis, and slowly started down the hill.  Nate skied backward in front of her, giving instructions as she started picking up speed.
    “Okay, widen the wedge,” he said. “But keep your knees apart, like you have something between your thighs.”  A sound lodged in his throat, and he coughed to cover it as he envisioned himself between those long, luscious legs of hers, his mouth tasting, teasing, bringing her to orgasm over and over again.   
    “I think I got it,” she said, pulling his thoughts back.   They traveled down the hill a little farther, small kids whizzing past them, and her teeth flashed in a smile.  “I guess this is kind of fun once you get the hang of it.”
    “See, I told you.  You just needed the right person giving instructions, that’s all.”
    Her wool hat started to slide forward, and she pushed it back.  “You’re a pretty good teacher.”
    “I’ve been giving lessons in the winter here for years.  I even taught my brothers to ski.”  He watched her for a minute longer, and once she had the hang of it, he asked, “Okay, you ready to try a turn?”  She nodded.  “Remember what I said, tuck your right knee in, and we’ll turn left.  Watch.”  He flipped around and showed her, then started skiing backward again to guide her.
    “Got it,” she said, and he loved the excited smile on her face.
    Nate kept a close eye on the way she put her weight on her left foot, her right knee turning in.  Only problem was her hat fell over her eyes again, throwing her off.  She pushed it up, but the movement tilted her off balance and she ended up crossing her skies. 
    He glanced at her face in time to see the panic in her eyes.  “Oh, shit,” he said, reaching out to help her. 
    “Nate,” she yelled, but before he could grab her, she toppled right into him.  Nate lost his balance, and they both went down, his body breaking her fall as their skis flipped off.   
    They landed with a thud , the momentum propelling them down the hill.  He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight to his body until they stopped sliding. 
    “Are you okay?” he asked, lifting his head to see her.  
    “Do I look okay?” she shot back, but he caught the quirk in her lips.  She rolled her eyes, her mouth so close to his that all he had to do was lift an inch to kiss her if he wanted to.  And yeah, he wanted to. 
    “I should have just had the damn dessert,” she mumbled. 
    Nate laughed as her body pressed against his.  An instructor stopped to see if they were okay, and after Nate assured him they were, he turned his attention back to Gracie, who was wiggling like she had an itch that needed to be scratched.  Christ, if she didn’t soon stop moving, she was going to realize just how much he liked having her on top of him.  Just how much he wanted her. But he was pretty certain it was far too soon for that.       
    “We should probably get up,” he said, but neither of them moved.
    “Can’t we just slide the rest of the way down like this?”
    “Don’t think
