She looks over her shoulder. “What kind of chef?”

“One who cooks the best steak you’ll eat outside of Manhattan.”

“In your cabin?” She doesn’t sound so sure.

“He’s good,” I tell her. “I promise.”

She turns. It’s not pretty, mostly involving her slapping her ass against the barrier and clinging on to it behind her. But at least she’s facing me.

“One minute,” I tell her. “That’s all it’ll take for you to skate back over here.”

She nods. Then looks down at her skates. I mentally will her to look back up again, because if she looks at her feet she’s done for.

“Look at me,” I tell her.

“Only if you take your hoodie off.”

I laugh. But I do it anyway, pulling my hoodie and t-shirt off, leaving myself bare chested and fucking freezing next to the ice.

“Come get me,” I tell her, my nipples shrivelling into tiny points.

And she does. This time it’s less unsteady. She glides toward me, a huge ass smile on her face that matches the grin on mine.

“You’re beautiful,” I tell her. “You look amazing.” And as she reaches the edge of the ice, I scoop her up in my arms and she flails her legs in an attempt not to cut me with her blades.

“You stripped for me,” she says, grinning like an idiot.

“I would have taken my pants off, too.” I gently put her down, wiping the hair from her face as I lean in to kiss her.

Her hands are like ice on my bare shoulders as she kisses me back, that big smile never leaving her lips. A shiver snakes down my spine and I quickly grab my t-shirt, because seriously, my nipples are like rocks.

“Come on. Let’s go have some fun.”

MACKENZIE

Eli’s cabin is just over the border into Virginia. It takes us a few hours to drive there, but it passes in the blink of an eye as we listen to loud music pumping out of his stereo system, the two of us singing along. Eli has a surprisingly mellow singing voice, and it makes me feel kind of needy. Luckily, he must realize because he spends most of the trip holding my thigh.

His dad’s estate is vast. A graveled road winds through the trees which form a canopy above us, blocking out most of the sunlight. Eli slides his sunglasses over his head and looks at me from the corner of his eye.

And then I realize why. He’s waiting for my reaction as we escape the forest and I see the green rolling hills ahead of us.

“Is this all your dad’s?” I ask.

“Yeah. As far as you can see. My cabin’s on the other side of the hill. You’ll see the big lake in a minute.”

We turn a corner and there it is, sparkling like diamonds. Trees surround the lake, and I can’t see the cabin at all. I can see a huge sprawling house, though, at the summit of the hill.

“My dad and his wife are away with Francie,” he says as we reach the house. “We’ve got the place to ourselves.”

“Who owns all these cars?” There are five of them. One is a Jaguar, another is a Tesla. I can’t work out the other three.

“My dad.”

Oh. He pulls in next to one of them and turns off the engine. “If you prefer we can stay in the house.”

Hell no. I want to stay in the cabin this man built with his own hands. “You promised me a hot tub,” I tell him. “And cabin sex.”
