Jeans, long-sleeve tee, belted sweater. See-through black lace panties and a matching bra. A teensy dab of perfume in all the right places. Dangly earrings? Sparkly? Cassie bounced in front of her dresser and tried to tell herself to chill out. She didn’t listen.

Condoms. She had an unopened box somewhere from the tail end of her brief fling with Craig the dentist. She found it and stashed it in the top drawer of her bedside table. Then she jerked the drawer open, ripped off the box’s plastic wrapping, and shoved a strip in her purse. Just in case.

When Jared knocked, she practically tripped over her toes sprinting to the door. He was dressed in cargo pants and a thick, black, unbuttoned henley stretched tight over a black t-shirt. He held a thermos. “Ready?”

“Absolutely.”

As soon as he parked at the Hotel Del Coronado, Cassie guessed what their mystery activity was. “Skating?”

He nodded and grinned, his dimples deep and proud in his handsome face. “Miles knows someone who works here and made a miracle happen for me.”

She clapped her hands together. She’d been once before, the year it opened. She’d wanted to return ever since, but hadn’t been able to convince Mitch it was fun. “Let’s go through the old lobby and look at the tree, too!”

“Whatever you want.” Jared laughed as she grabbed his hand and practically dragged him into the historic hotel.

“You look like you know what you’re doing there,” he said a few minutes later as she carefully laced up her rental skates.

“I took lessons when I was little, but all that I’ve retained is the ability to glide with style.”

“You’ve got me beat, then.”

But even though Jared insisted he’d only been skating once as a child, he quickly caught on. Before long he was confidently weaving around slower skaters and staying close to her side. On the longer stretches, he reached out and took her hand. Around and around they went to the soundtrack of Christmas music. Cassie couldn’t remember ever feeling quite so much in the holiday spirit. And the way Jared kept looking at her thrilled her down to her toes. December 23rd was going down in her personal history books as the best day of the year.

When two skaters collided in their path, spilling harmlessly to the ice, he snagged her hand and tugged her to the side of the rink.

“Kiss break.” He glided his lips over her fingertips, then pulled her closer, looping her arms around his neck. She tightened her grip, fully supportive of this plan. In the near distance, waves crashed on the beach.

“This is pretty amazing,” she whispered.

“You deserve amazing.” He pressed his mouth against hers, and she parted her lips just enough to have a tiny taste before they pulled apart. “You also deserve dinner.”

Right on cue, her tummy growled. But she wasn’t ready to leave yet. She laced her fingers through his and tugged. “One more lap.”
