Chapter 7

JAMES JUMPED as the front door slammed.

He smiled. Ash was home.

Three months ago, Ash had accepted the job promotion and had all but moved into the apartment with him. Three months! Three of the best months of his life.

Ash flew into the bedroom and seized him in a hug. “James! They’ve offered me the most amazing opportunity. I still can’t believe it.”

“Tell me.” He laughingly kissed the side of Ash’s neck before stepping back.

“A Heli-drop!”

His stomach sank. “A what?”

“They’ve asked Brody and me to test out the new extreme snowboards.” Ash was yelling with excitement. “They drop us out of a helicopter, straight onto the top of the mountain, and then we snowboard to the base. No ski runs—just rugged nature. I can’t believe they asked me! With my new desk job, I thought they would ask one of the others, but it seems they think Brody and I are the only ones who can handle it. God, it’s an amazing opportunity!”

James’s chest tightened, and his mind screamed. No!

His mouth opened, and his lips said, “No!”

Ash froze and stared at him. “Excuse me? Did you just say no? Do you mean—No, I can’t believe it either; I am so happy for you, Ash? Because it had better not have been a—No, I won’t allow you to go, Ash.”

“Ash, please, it’s so dangerous.”

With his jaw tense, Ash took a deep breath. “Yes, it is dangerous, but I’m an experienced snowboarder, and this is the thrill of a lifetime. I won’t pass it up.”

“Well….” His stomach churned. Ash was mad. Not playful make-it-up-to-me-with-sex mad but truly mad. He needed to defuse the situation. “I’m sure I can find a few ways to give you the thrill of a lifetime without even leaving the apart—”

“I’m serious!” Ash clenched his fists.

“You know, Ash, you’re gorgeous when you’re mad.”

“James! I am totally serious and totally pissed off right now!”

He pushed Ash backward and pinned him to the wall with the lower half of his body. “You know, I like the ‘pissed off’ version of you. It’s very sexy.” His lips slid across that certain spot, just under Ash’s jaw, that had proven an effective persuasion method in the past.

Ash shivered, then pushed him away. “And that is not going to work either. Stop the seductive routine. I can’t believe you think you can just say no.”

He took a step backward, giving them both some breathing space and let out a deep breath. “Sorry. I’m sorry. It’s difficult. I know I don’t ever say anything, but I thought all that dangerous stuff was over and—”

“Don’t you trust me? Don’t you think I can do this?” The muscle in Ash’s jaw contracted and released.

“Yes! Of course. Oh hell, I’m making a mess of this. Of course I trust you, and I know you’re an experienced boarder, but now… it’s different.”

“Why?” Ash yelled.

“Because I couldn’t bear it if I lost you!”

A stunned silence followed his words.

He lowered his voice. “I care about you, Ash, and I don’t want to lose you.
