Chapter 9

A snow day is only bad news if you forgot to run to the liquor store.

Scarlett

I roll over and reach for Weston. My eyes fly open when my fingers meet empty sheets. I flip up the covers but he’s not hiding under there. The bed is empty. Where is he? Did he leave the cabin and I slept through his departure?

I scan the room. The bathroom door is hanging open. He’s not in there.

A pan clatters on the stove. Mystery solved. Weston’s in the kitchen.

I crawl out of bed and squeal when my naked feet touch the floor. “Yikes. Cold.” I dance toward the dresser and my breasts jiggle. My feet aren’t the only naked body part.

I never sleep naked. I always get dressed after sex. But after Weston and I finished, I passed out and didn’t have a chance to put on clothes. I’ve never passed out after sex before.

I quickly don a thick pair of socks and some sweats before leaving the bedroom. When I reach the kitchen, Weston glances over his shoulder at me and smiles. I could get used to those blue eyes lighting up every time he sees me. I could fall in love with this guy. Full stop.

Hold up, Scarlett. You’re not falling in love with a guy after spending two days with him. Don’t confuse sex and love.

“Good morning. I hope you’re hungry.”

My stomach rumbles in response. “My stomach says yes. What are you making?”

“Omelets. I hope you don’t mind I used your eggs.”

I wave away his concern. “Use all the eggs you want.”

“Good because I may have dropped one on the floor.”

I glance at the floor and notice there are pieces of eggshell still stuck to the wood. I find a cloth and clean them up. “This is only one egg?”

Weston scratches his chin. “It might have been two.”

I shake my head. “I’m supposed to be the klutz, remember?”

“I’m not a klutz, but I did forget to light some candles and ran into the counter in the dark.”

“You didn’t hurt yourself, did you?”

He bats his eyelashes. “If I did, will you kiss it better?”

I’ll kiss all his boo-boos better. I can’t wait for the chance to get my mouth on his body. I could trace his abs with my tongue. He also has a tattoo on his shoulder I need to explore.

I clear my throat and force those thoughts away. Weston is a one night only kind of guy. I might think I could fall in love with him, but he’s only here for a good time.

“You’re a menace,” I tease.

“But a fun menace.”

“And modest to boot!”

“No reason to be modest in certain areas.” He winks.

My cheeks flame. Nope. There’s no reason to be modest. Weston knows what he’s doing in the bedroom. And, boy, did I profit from his knowledge this morning.

“Nobody likes a braggart.”

“Really?” He steps toward me. “You didn’t enjoy this morning?”

My face is officially on fire, but I soldier on. I’m not the shy bookworm I was in high school.
