“Hey, no fair!” Laura cried playfully, taking off after her, leaving me in their powdery wake.

Kensi declared herself the winner before I reached the door, and she and Laura debated who would've won had they started at the same time.

“Next race,” I interjected, wiping snow from my face, “I get a five-second head start.”

“Deal!” Kensi agreed immediately, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

A smirk tugged at Laura’s mouth. “You’re going to need it,” she teased, nudging me with her elbow as we stepped inside.

“Is that a challenge?”

“More like a promise,” she shot back, her voice brimming with laughter.

We peeled off our winter gear and settled into the warmth generated by the fire.

“It’s time for your nap, Kensi.”

“Can Laura tuck me in?” she asked.

“Yes, she can.”

I felt the heat of envy and pleasure flood my veins. Their connection made me crave a devoted partner who’d cherish my daughter.

Moments later, Laura pulled me away from my thoughts. “She’s asleep. You’ve been awfully quiet. Everything okay?”

“Fine.” I forced a smile. “Just lost in thought, I guess. Come here.” I wiggled my finger for her to join me on the couch by the fireplace. She sat beside me and I wrapped my arm around her. “The weather’s cleared. My mom will be here in ten minutes to stay with Kensi. We’re going skiing.

“Ten minutes? I can do a lot in ten minutes.” She ran her hand over my chest and snuggled into my side, laying her head on my chest. I kissed the top of her head.

“What I’d like to do with you requires more than just a few minutes, but the helicopter is ready.”

She sat up.

“A helicopter?”

I nodded. “It will drop us off near the summit.”

She hopped off the couch and danced in a circle.

“I get to ski!”

She flung herself into my arms, grabbing around my neck as if she were a monkey. My hands found their way beneath her and lifted her so she wrapped her legs around my waist, and I welcomed the feel of her body against mine. Her chest, covered by a sweater I deemed too thick, pressed up against me. Her muscular legs clamped over my hips. With her nails gently scraping across my scalp, an electric arousal passed through my crotch and hardened my dick before I could even register it. A grunt involuntarily escaped my lips.

“I would have offered sooner if I knew this would be your reaction,” I quipped.

CHAPTER 5

LAURA

His hand over the round ends of my skis and asked, “Freestyle?”

“Sometimes you need to ski backwards.” I shrugged.

James zipped up my jacket. I buckled my boots halfway and set a helmet atop my head. “Alright, I’m ready to go.”

“Gloves?” He took my hands in his, the touch prompting doubts about this ski trip, because I’d much rather feel him touch me all over.

“Ahem,” I cleared my throat, “I prefer mittens. They keep me warmer.”
