Leslie stood back as Sloan erected the tree near the window in the cabin’s living room. It was beautiful and just what she needed to brighten her mood. Yesterday after dinner, she had taken a shower and gotten into bed but hadn’t gone to sleep. Instead, she had pulled up her e-reader. From the sound of the television in the family room, it had been easy to guess Sloan was still a fan of cop shows.

And she’d known when he had decided to call it a night and go to bed. Although he’d tried to be quiet, she had heard him walk down the hall to his bedroom. She had held her breath, hoping he wouldn’t knock on her door. He hadn’t.

When she’d awakened to find it wasn’t snowing, she had wanted to hurry and dress and get a tree before snow began falling again. When Sloan still had not awakened, she decided to go downstairs and prepare breakfast, convinced the smell of bacon would do the trick. She knew how much he loved bison bacon. That had worked. He had walked into the kitchen, fully dressed but still with that sleepy-sexy look.

“Are you sure this is where you want it?”

She blinked, recalling other times, during their lovemaking, when he would tease her relentlessly. He would rub his erection all over her, between her legs. Then as he entered her, he would teasingly ask, Are you sure this is where you want it? By then she would be nearly out of her mind. She would push upward to hold him inside her tightly, to show him that she’d known just where she wanted it.

“Leslie?”

From the look on his face, he was waiting for her to answer. There was no indication he had made a connection between what he’d asked now and the other times when he’d asked that same thing. “Yes, that location will work. I like that it’s sitting in front of the window.”

He rolled his eyes. “Need I remind you that we’re out in the middle of nowhere, miles from civilization? The only person who might notice blinking Christmas lights are the bears.”

“Thanks for reminding me, Sloan.”

He threw his head back and laughed even though she honestly didn’t see anything funny. He had told her the property surrounding the cabin was bearproof. In addition to the electric fencing, bear sensors were installed that not only emitted scents that bears detested but also blared music that bothered their eardrums. Besides, most bears hibernated during winter.

“Now that the tree is where you want it, I’m going to sit back and relax with a beer,” he said.

“You’re not going to help me decorate?”

“Nope. You can do a better job at it than I could. So, knock yourself out while I observe.”

Leslie wasn’t sure how she felt about him sitting there drinking beer, watching her. Knowing Sloan’s eyes would be on her was not a comforting thought. He could look at her in ways that would make her feel naked even while she was wearing clothes.
