“Let’s just say, I’m already wishing that New Year’s Eve was here,” I replied with blushed cheeks.
The rest of the day was spent eating lunch at the restaurant and going back out on the slopes. I had gotten the skiing bug, and now, I regretted not being out there more. I still had a few days left, and now that I felt comfortable, I could go hit the slopes while Cameron was teaching a class, not worried that I was going to eat shit or break an arm. This vacation had turned into something that I hadn’t expected, and I was loving every second of it. Though my time was drawing to a close, I still had New Year’s Eve, and I was going to bring in the New Year with love, lust, and probably a whole lot of alcohol. I felt like a brand-new woman, ready to face my life with optimism and without fear. Now, all I had to do was finish what I had promised Hailey, and that was to sleep with Cameron, enjoy the experience, but not prolong the inevitable. Hopefully, sex with him was going to be the best part of my vacation, and then I would be gone.
Chapter 17
New Year’s Eve
Cameron
I stood in my room, straightening my bow tie and smoothing my hair back with gel. I smiled at the chic look I was putting on, knowing that I hadn’t gotten dressed up like that since my sister’s wedding forever ago. Even then, I wore tennis shoes, but tonight, I was pulling out all the stops, wanting to wow Bea right off the charts. I had been watching her for several days, zooming down the intermediate slopes, having a blast while I waved from my training spot. Glen was still not back, but I was more than happy to teach the classes on my own, especially since every afternoon, on my break, Bea would meet me for lunch. It had become such a normal and comfortable thing, and I was nervous about how it was going to feel when she left. Aspen had become the glamorous and exciting place that it was for me because of Bea, not that I had long left here, either.
I walked into the living room of my suite and grabbed my tux jacket, pulling it over my shoulders and pulling my cuffs out at the sleeves. I buttoned the front buttons and put my hand in my pants pocket, turning toward the mirrored wall and looking at myself. I looked like James Bond, only without the super gadgets that his tux would normally come with. I looked down at my watch and jumped slightly, realizing I was going to be late if I didn’t hurry up. I grabbed my keys and winter pea coat and headed out the door. When the elevator doors opened, there was Brian, looking dapper as ever in his tux, and nodding at me as I climbed in.
“Picking up Hailey?”
“Yep,” he said. “Picking up Bea?”
“Sure am.” I laughed.
“This is going to be epic,” he said with a straight face.
“I believe you may be right,” I replied, patting him on the back as the doors opened to the fifth floor.
We walked out and up to the room, pushing the cracked door open and peeking inside. Both of their rooms were shut, and the living room was empty, so we strolled inside, looking around. Brian walked over to the bar and sat down the bottle of champagne that he brought. I nodded at him and grabbed the glasses over the wet bar and walked them to him. He popped open the champagne and filled the four glasses with bubbly.
“Ladies,” I said. “We are here.”
“Coming,” Hailey yelled.
I looked over at Bea’s door as the doorknob turned, and it began to creak open. Slowly, she stepped out, taking my breath away. Her hair was down, cascading in big curls over her shoulders and down her back. Her makeup was dark and striking, making her green eyes stand out more than normal. Her lips were painted with a dark red, matte lipstick, and I couldn’t help but want to immediately kiss her lips. My eyes trailed down her body to the spaghetti strap, silver-sequined dress that draped sensually over her breasts and her curves, stopping when it hit the floor. She blushed at my reaction and smiled over as Hailey walked out of the room, looking amazing as well.
“We are going to make some men jealous tonight,” I said, looking at Brian.
“Yes, we are,” he said, laughing.
We all drank a small glass of champagne and then headed down to the party. We started with a plated dinner, and then moved on to dancing and drinking the night away. We all got amazing little New Year’s Eve hats, and I had to admit that even though I probably looked damn stupid in mine, Bea looked really sexy in that silver-sequined top hat that matched her dress. While Hailey and Brian disappeared, deciding to spend the rest of their night in the suite he rented for the night, Bea and I stayed downstairs with the crowd, smiling and laughing as we danced closely together under the neon strobe lights and falling confetti. I couldn’t remember a time where I had more fun with a woman, and I didn’t want the night to end. She looked absolutely radiant in her dress, although my mind wandered from time to time, thinking about getting her out of that dress and into my arms.
We were having so much fun that I hadn’t even realized how late into the evening it was getting until the projections started and showed the New York City ball getting ready for countdown. Although being around all of these people was fun and exciting, I really wanted to have that moment where we shifted from one year to the next, alone with Bea. I leaned over and kissed her cheek, taking her champagne from her hands.
“Come on,” I said, grabbing my coat, and putting it around her shoulders. “I have a better place in mind for ringing in the New Year.”
She smiled at me and pulled the coat around her shoulders, holding it tightly in front of her. I took her hand and led her from the event room and across the marble floors of the lobby. When we reached the doors, I held them open, stepping out into the cold and snow. I walked up next to her and scooped her into my arms, cradling her as I took the semi-shoveled path around to the courtyard where I had watched her laughing and smiling the first day she got there. Who knew that we would have come this far, that we would be wrapped around each other on this beautiful New Year’s Eve? She smiled and giggled as I held her close, turning toward the slopes where I knew the resort would be shooting off fireworks. We could hear the people on the inside, coupled with the people out in the yard, counting down to the New Year. I leaned down and whispered in her ear.
“Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Happy New Year,” I said.
She turned her head to me as the first blasts of fireworks shot up into the air, coloring the snow in blues and purples all around us. She looked absolutely gorgeous under the sparkling lights, and I leaned forward and pressed my lips gently against hers. I could feel fireworks of my own going off in my chest as our warm mouths pressed against each other. She reached her arms up and wrapped them around my neck, letting me kiss her deeper and more passionately. My hands gripped tightly to her sides as my tongue moved across her crimson lips, her breath increasing with every stroke. Her lips opened to mine, and heat took over as I plunged my tongue into her mouth, tasting the sweetness of her lips.
When we finally pulled apart, we were both out of breath, our lips curling up into smiles and laughter echoing f
rom our chests. We looked back up at the fireworks and neon lights streaming down the slopes, the sounds of cheers and parties flowing through the air. I had never viewed New Year’s Eve quite like I was at that moment with Bea in my arms. She was everything pure and sweet about my life at that time, and I knew exactly what I wanted to do to ring in the New Year.
I carried her back to the front of the building and laid her gently back down on her feet. A crowd of people came out of the doors, laughing and smiling as they passed, but her eyes stayed locked on mine. I thought about asking her if she wanted to go back to the party, but I already knew the answer, and mine was exactly the same. Before I could speak, she reached out her hand and pulled me close.
“Come with me,” she whispered, just inches from my lips.
I could feel my cock twitch in my pants, and electricity shot through my chest. All I could do was nod my head, agreeing to follow her anywhere she wanted to lead. We walked back into the resort and over to the elevators, smiling as people exited. We climbed inside and stood to the right, letting the others join us as well. Slowly, the elevator moved upward while we stood close together, tightly clutching each other’s hand. When the elevator reached the fifth floor, we smiled at the others and exited, walking to the door and waiting for Bea to get her key card out. When we entered, I shut the door behind us and watched as Bea moved gracefully into the living room, turning on the gas fireplace in her room and the living room. She took my coat from her shoulders and hung it on the hooks, turning around and smiling sweetly at me.
I walked carefully across the room and leaned down, kissing her softly on the lips. She smiled again and pulled off her heels, setting them by the fireplace and grabbing the blanket from the chair. We sat down on the couch and watched the flames begin to build behind the glass front of the fireplace. The shadows of the flames danced across the room as the fireworks exploded outside. I pulled her in close to me, wrapping my arm around her and leaning back, undoing the bow tie around my neck. Bea rubbed her hand up and down my chest, pressing her fingertips in as she moved. The tension between us was palpable, and I could barely control the erection growing in my pants as I glanced down at her barely-covered breasts.
