Chapter 13

Cold slapped Christine’s cheeks as she and Alec hurried from the pub all but tripping over their feet in their eager haste. The sun had slipped behind Silver Mountain, casting a dusk-like shadow over the village.

“This way.” Alec jerked his head.

Huddling inside her coat, she followed him around to the side of the building. They stopped at a door between the back of the pub and a ski shop. He held it open for her and Buddy. Rather than a fancy lobby, this space was barely larger than a landing with a row of mailboxes and stairs leading up.

The instant Alec slipped in behind her, he pinned her against the wall. His mouth swept down over hers. Surprise came first, followed by a heady excitement to finally be able to kiss him with no people looking on. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she welcomed the wild play of lips and tongue. Their bodies molded chest to chest, hip to hip. The bulge of his erection against her belly made her eager to get even closer. To get skin to skin.

Somewhere overhead a door slammed.

They jerked apart, glancing up, then sagged with relief when no one appeared at the top of the stairs. Buddy sat halfway up, his head cocked as if asking why they were standing around down there.

“Sorry.” Laughing, Alec rested his forehead against hers, breathing hard. “You’ve had me so hot for so long, I’m pretty much on the edge here. I’ll try to slow down.”

“Don’t you dare.” She grabbed the front of his parka and brought them nose to nose. “In fact, if you don’t get me somewhere private in the next two seconds, Alec Hunter, I swear I’m going to rip your clothes off right here.”

His eyes widened. “My apartment’s this way.”

He took her hand and dashed up the stairs to a narrow hallway. At the first door on the right, he reached into his pocket. “Dang it!”

“What?”

“I left my keys somewhere.”

“What!” She wanted to slug him. How could he get her this revved up, then say they had nowhere to go and do something about it?

“It’s okay.” He smiled as if reading her mind. Reaching overhead, he retrieved a single key from the top of the doorframe. “I have plenty of spares.”

She laughed in relief.

He unlocked the door and herded her and Buddy inside. Even as he closed the door, they came together with greedy hands and hungry mouths. She felt him fumble for a light switch, but he abandoned the effort. Enough light spilled in through a window for them to see each other. They shed their jackets, then tugged at sweaters.

“Bed,” she managed between kisses.

“This way.” His mouth on hers, he walked backward, leading the way.

They moved across the room, fumbling with clothes, stumbling over God-knew-what. With sweaters gone, they worked at losing their boots without breaking the kiss. They bumped into a coffee table and something thudded to the floor. The arm of a sofa nearly sent them tumbling.
