CHAPTER FIVE

Holly let herself back into Chalet Repos, exhausted but relieved when she remembered Amelia and Sophie were out for the day. Finally she had a bit of space.

At least the pain in her elbow wasn’t so bad now. She grabbed a glass of water and swallowed a couple of ibuprofen before making herself a sandwich in the chalet kitchen.

The doctor had said something about her elbow popping out of the ligament or something like that. Her French hadn’t been up to the complex translation. He'd done something hideously painful, charged her the equivalent of her last week’s wages for the privilege and now she had the battle of trying to claim it back from her insurance.

She couldn’t understand Scott’s belligerence. He seemed pretty cool and laid back about most things, which only made his behaviour all the more puzzling. His snap judgement of her still rankled. Yes she’d been stupid but it wasn’t like she’d done anything criminal or hurt anyone…well, not yet anyway.

Give me time.

She was certainly tempted - an image of Magda sprang to mind, smug and laughing with Scott over lunch up at the mountain cantine. No doubt she’d be making jokes about Holly, flirting with him and placing perfectly manicured nails on his thigh as she casually reached across the table for the bread…

Holly ground her teeth. Why Magda hated her she didn’t know, but her intuition was ringing loud alarm bells. Magda had set her up and she’d walked straight into the trap. She wouldn’t find her such an innocent victim next time round, and if Holly found evidence to support her suspicions then she’d no reservations about ringing Steve to see what he could do with Magda’s Facebook page…

And if Scott planned to sack her she’d damn well make the most of the chalet today. She hadn’t used the Jacuzzi yet, too worried about groping hands and accidental leg brushes under the water from the city boys who were staying this week and too frantically busy last week.

Now was the perfect time to unpack her bikini.

Lying back in the Jacuzzi tub with her eyes closed and the hot water bubbling, easing away tension, she could understand why it was so popular after skiing. The heated water caressed her aching muscles and all her tightly wound worries and stresses slowly dissolved away.

She inhaled the deliciously fresh mountain air and relaxed, feeling more herself again. Sod Scott, she’d find a job somewhere else if necessary. The cafes in the resorts were always looking for English speakers and her French was passable, at least when it came to food and drink.

Soon Holly wasn’t thinking of anything at all, just concentrating on the powerful jets as they massaged her thighs, her back and the space between her legs… She couldn’t help but think of Scott, of his mouth exploring her most sensitive flesh, caressing her with such surprising tenderness and generosity. Giving her a pleasure more intense than she’d imagined possible.

‘Hi.’ Scott’s real voice broke through her daydream.
