Chapter 18

Adam

The next day, we had a lazy morning before preparing for our big group outing—without Jordan and April, who were dining on their own and would probably end up getting engaged tonight. If Jordan hadn’t adamantly sworn me to secrecy, I would have warned Mia.

But surprises were good, and she’d be thrilled for her friend.

This afternoon, the rest of us would be riding through back trails on snow machines to the edge of a glacier, where we’d join up with several dogsled teams to continue the journey through the mountains and watch the sun set from the summit.

But until then, we had a couple hours this cozy morning to do nothing at all. More than enough time to tick off more boxes on my checklist and possibly even finish it off.

I was a little worried, however. Emilia was getting impatient and, quite frankly, my body was on the same page as her. But my own stubbornness refused to blow this chance. Because that damn quiz and its dire prediction of a three-year or less marriage was still weighing on me.

But no worry, I’d developed the road map to get us back on track again—in the form of the handy dandy, technology-free checklist.

After breakfast, we went back to our room. I grabbed some wood from the nearby stack and started a fire to warm us up. Emilia was tidying up the place, gathering the dirty laundry and making the bed, since we’d requested minimal maid service in order to preserve our privacy.

My mind raced with the possibilities of what to do next. To help me think, I opted to take a shower so I could think it through.

But that got me nowhere except a lot cleaner. I toweled off, determined to go dig up my list and have a skim. I wrapped a towel around my hips and opened the door to the bedroom to get my clothes.

The room was tidy, the air warm from the now healthy fire. And Emilia was there, waiting for me. Full makeup, hair beautifully styled and her body stretched out across the bed, head propped up on her bent arm.

Her nighties had been getting progressively racier each night. And right now, she was wearing the sexiest one yet… an elegant weaving of scraps of white lace, straps and huge swaths of her gleaming bare skin.

Well... gulp.

Instant boner under my towel. Holy shit. She was stunning, all laid out like a five-course meal, waiting for me. And every single part of my body was ravenous and ready to indulge.

“You chilly?” I asked after clearing my throat. My voice, even to my own ears, sounded tight, strained. But I couldn’t help noticing those deliciously erect nipples perking up to say hi, hence the question.

My tongue was already tingling with the thought of tasting them, suckling, even nibbling.

She licked her lips. “I’ll be just fine when you come over here and take off that towel.”

“Are you telling me you like my body, so I’ll hold it against you?” I quirked a smile at her.
