I laughed, shocking the snow off me as a tiny tile of snow dusted her nose. “Damn right you’re cute. Come here.”

“No way.” She darted off as I rolled to one side, grabbing her waist as she shot by much slower than I suspected she intended.

Nisha fell against me, our clothes starting to soak through but I didn’t care. The bath in the suite was big enough for both of us to eke the cold out later.

“You’re so not getting away.” I formed a scoop with my fingers, letting the crystals trickle into the front of her jacket.

“Oh, fuck!” she cussed, her eyes open wide.

I laughed until my stomach ached with it, intent on covering her with snow–which I succeeded in a few times–though I ended up wearing my fair share. Nisha had good aim when there wasn't a snowball coming her away.

“Sure you didn’t grow up playing little league,” I gasped, tugging her to my chest and falling on my back in the disturbed now. “Perfect.”

I rolled her off me and waved my arms and legs around.

“What are you doing, you crazy man?” She laughed at me, half sitting up.

“It’s obvious.” I pretend her comment hurts, wrinkling my nose.

She matched me, squinted eyes and all, until she earned another laugh out of me. “No, it’s not.”

“Snow elves.” I sighed. “What am I going to do with you, Nisha?”

She giggled, lying down and copying me, both of us waving our limbs about in the snow like six year olds on a snow day.

Except I knew the answer to my own question.

I wanted to keep her.

Forever.

"Oh God, that feelsgood."

She sank so deep into the water so the only thing I could see were her eyes peering at me through thick lashes. Her halo of raven black hair floated around her. I pushed my thighs to the sides of the bath, reaching out to catch one of the blue black locks and tugged her towards me until she kneeled close enough to touch.

"Feel better?"

"Much." She swatted in the steaming water just out of my reach, the water lapping her skin provocatively.

Three minutes into the bubble bath I couldn't keep my hands off her, gripping her hips and pulling her onto my, syncing the natural sway of her body against mine. The additional contact and heat left me breathless.

"Yeah," I managed in a strangled voice. "What were we talking about?"

Nisha wiggles hips thoughtfully. Her breasts rose out of the water with each inhale, then disappearing into the bubbles, the dusky skin of her nipples visible.

I thanked the hot water for her extra sensitivity, tracing gently over her reddened skin, skating my fingers a little closer to where her thighs spread over me, drawing her closer, because her flesh wasn’t the only one responding to the proximity. The pins and needles tingle in my fingers evaporate at the moment she touched me, sliding her hands around my shoulders and massaging muscles there.

"Jesus. I am keeping you forever." I tipped my head backwards, my eyes closed, so I didn't have to see her reaction to my words.

Because all of me, not even a little bit in the negative, wanted that statement to be true.

I choose my own fate.

I always had, since college. Rooming with Rex, a full day’s flight away from home and the natural apron strings set something alight in my bloodstream. Something addictive.

Closing my hands around her ribs, I grazed my palms upward until her heavy breasts filled my palms.
