“You met her there?” Hale asked.
“When I was at the academy. We went to the same clubs. She kept saving me from creepers. It took a lot of work on my part to get her to ask me out, though. So many slutty dresses. Took even longer to be serious. I’m not very patient.” I laughed. “But here we are. And I want to keep her. Anyone else I want to be with seriously has to understand she’s part of the package.”
“How long did it take you to understand what she’s saying? Because I’m lucky if I catch half of it with her accent,” Hale admitted.
I blinked as we went back towards the lodge where we’d left our stuff in a locker.
“I’ve always been able to understand her, but I’ve been around Irish people all my life.” I took both their hands as I walked. It felt nice to hold their hands.
“Oh.” Hale frowned. “Can you understand her?” he asked Carlos.
Carlos nodded.
“I’m pretty sure Dusty has the hots for her. I totally get that. She’s super fucking hot if you like tall women who can kill you.” Hale patted the top of my head. “I like short girls.”
“You don’t think I couldn’t murder you with my tiny hands?” I wiggled my gloved fingers at him and grinned. Right, he didn’t know.
“I’ll take my chances.” Hale shot me a look.
“Saoirse doesn’t really date alphas. Or men. They’re just forfucking,” I told them.
Hale thought for a moment. “Dusty, being a rockstar, is probably fine with that.”
Getting between us, Hale put his arms around us both. Carlos rested his head on Hale as we kept walking.
Was I going to have to orchestrate them kissing? Probably.
Though I might be able to tease them into it.
“I’m just fine. But maybe tonight can I have you both at the same time? After all, it’s Christmas Eve.” I batted my eyes at both of them, turning up the omega charm.
“Your Christmas wish is my command, Mi Reina,” Carlos told me.
Good.
We got our equipment. Hale patiently went down easy slopes with Carlos and me.
“We should teach you to snowboard,” Hale told me as we finished.
“Maybe.” I grinned.
“That looked good.” Saoirse stood there, looking perfect in her sleek, black ski outfit. “Ready?”
“Yes. See you later, it’s girl time.” I turned and blew them each a kiss.
Hale turned to Carlos. “Should we try out the snow park at the other lodge?”
Carlos put his arm around him. “Let’s do it.”
Saoirse shook her head. “Come on. The spa waits for no one.”
“True.” We put our equipment in our locker and went into the lodge, which was deliciously warm.
I liked skiing for about two hours. Then I was off to the lodge for some hot chocolate and a good book. Or a massage. Maybe a cocktail.
“Did you have fun?” I asked Saoirse, stuffing my gloves in my pocket, so I could take her hand.
She gave it a squeeze. “The trails are incredible. If I have time, I’d like to go on a few more. Also, Iwillgo with you.”
