Chapter Four

Neither of us wanted to get out of bed when the alarm went off. My head was still heavy with sleep when Leo sat up. Most mornings, I got up with him, but today, I wasn’t sure I could move.

“Stay with me,” I mumbled.

“You make a very tempting offer, but I can’t.” Leo leaned down to kiss me. “I have the little kids coming for their snowboarding boot camp. They’d be crushed if I blew them off.”

“I guess that’s a good reason.” Which reminded me. “By the way, Dakota has it bad for you. She’s been drawing pictures of lions constantly since Christmas.”

“Oh yeah?” Leo raised an eyebrow. “Did you tell her I’m madly in love with another woman?”

My heart swelled. “No. She’s the only one I’m willing to share you with.” I giggled. “And I may have offered your services in the snowboarding department.”

“Bring her up here. Have her spend the night. It would be fun.”

My mother would never allow my little sister to spend the night in lion country. I smiled sadly. “I’ll see what I can do.”

Even though I stayed in the cabin, my days were pretty full. I’d signed up for online classes this semester, and I spent a lot of time working on conditioning. I’d been a competitive gymnast for most of my life, and I wanted to stay in the best shape possible. My dream was to qualify for the national team, and I wasn’t willing to give up on that yet.

Which made what we did last night weigh heavily on my mind. We’d see what happened.

I made coffee and oatmeal while Leo got ready for work. He was feeling it this morning, too. Neither of us were moving very fast, and if he didn’t hurry, he would be late.

Once he left, I set up my laptop on the kitchen table. I could spread out everything I needed there.

Leo forgot his gloves. Crap.

Getting dressed quickly, I hurried down to the ski area. I had to go on foot since Leo took the ATV with him. I jogged most of the way there. If Leo started his lesson, chances are I wouldn’t be able to find him. The cold didn’t affect him like it would a human, but I wanted him to be comfortable.

I made it just in time. All the kids were strapped into their snow boots, carrying their boards over to the training hill.

“Hey.” Leo jumped when I approached him. “You forgot these.”

“Thanks.” He leaned in and gave me a quick peck. The kids oohed and ahhed. My face turned bright red. “Do you want to take the ATV back?”

“I think I’m okay.” I’d never driven that thing, and it felt so good to be outside I was actually looking forward to the walk back. It was nine o’clock. Hopefully any of the cougars that had taken issue with us last night had something better to do this morning than bother me.

“Be careful.” He squeezed my hand. “Text me when you get back.
