CHAPTER FIVE

Amy walked back to Chalet Repos, her heart pounding. It felt like she was sleep walking. Her ski season working holiday had turned into a nightmare.

I have to talk to Josh.

She found him in the living room, stoking the fire with a poker, prodding viciously at the logs and staring into the flames. Matt and the other guys weren’t there, thank God. Why was Josh alone on what was supposed to be his stag party and why did he look so grim?

Whatever the reason, here they were. Just the two of them. It had to be a sign, she was meant to do this.

Her hands shook a little as she approached, so she hastily clasped them together in front of her before Josh could notice. Should she sit? Stand? For a moment she said nothing, simply stood, staring at him, trying to summon the courage to do this.

I’ve got no choice. I have to tell him.

“Josh,” she spoke his name quietly, reluctant to break the silence of the room.

He jerked backwards, turning his head towards her, startled.

“Amy.” He got to his feet and the obvious pleasure in his dark-brown eyes was replaced by a flash of anxiety. He scanned the room and then heaved out a sigh upon finding it empty apart from them.

“I need to talk to you but it’s um, personal. I think we should go to your room. If we stay here anyone could walk in.” Amy glanced towards the corridor leading to the guest rooms.

“I’m not sure that’s a good idea.” Josh frowned.

“Why? I only want to talk. I’m not going to throw myself at you.” She folded her arms across her chest, her anger rising. Just what did he think she was going to do? She felt insulted.

“Right,” Josh said, staring at her, his eyes reflecting his concern and…something else she couldn’t quite fathom. “Okay then.”

He gestured for Amy to go first. She was sure she could feel his eyes assessing her, skimming over her body as she walked. Anticipation flickered deep inside her.

Concentrate Amy. You’re not here for that; you’re on a mission.

Once in his room she hesitated. Should she sit on the bed? That probably wasn’t a good idea.

She turned to face him, wishing she could close the gap between them and feel his arms around her, comforting her. Her fingers itched to reach out and touch him again so she clasped them together to prevent any involuntary movement. It had been such an odd evening already, she felt like anything might be possible. She certainly couldn’t trust her body.

Josh stared, wordlessly, a slight frown on his handsome face but their old connection was definitely there. She felt the full force of it now and she allowed herself to drink it in. Now she remembered why she’d been avoiding his gaze ever since he’d got here.

One look had been all it’d taken back then, when she met him for the first time. One look and she’d been smitten by his sexy grin and eyes that lit up every time he laughed.
