chapter fifteen:

The ride back to the ski resort was anything but silent. We were busy trying to figure out how to steal me away from Cindy’s to be with him and his family for dinner. Everything we came up with seemed impossible—I’d been kidnapped, held for ransom, or even that I ran away with a guy I met on the ski slope—they were all too totally creepy to consider. Then it hit me: the fact that Nick knows about us and he hasn’t said anything to Cindy shows me he might be our best option. Now I just had to come up with a way to convince him to help us.

“I could try and get Nick to cover for me,” I said.

“I don’t know about that. I think there’s more to him than you think,” Max snapped back, “I’ve seen the way he looks at you.”

“He’s grateful to me for standing up to Cindy. That’s all,” I played down his concerns.

I wasn’t blind. I knew Nick liked me as more than a friend. But I wasn’t going to worry Max with that, or give Nick the opportunity.

“I can tell when guys are checking out my girlfriend. He’s got something for you.” He glanced at me and back to the road. His eyes widened, trying to assure me he was right. I was too busy replaying the word girlfriend in my head. He called me his girlfriend. My butterflies cheered. My heart overflowed with so much excitement I had to keep reminding myself to breathe.

“Maximillain Goldstein, you’re not jealous are you?” Watching his profile as he drove, I got my answer.

“Jealous? No. Fully aware of other guys checking you out? Absolutely. And he’s one I gotta watch out for.” He glanced at my reaction, his hand glided through the air between us and landed on my thigh. “And to have my girlfriend dressed in this curve-catching, body-hugging suit just makes my job that much harder.”

Oh my God. Okay, if I could climb over and start making out with him I would. He was so good at nurturing my butterflies. They loved it when he touched me and used words that feed their insatiable appetite. I was silent for a delectable moment.

“I’ve noticed you’ve used that word quite a few times,” I said looking down at his hand rub across the baby blue satin fabric of my ski suit.

“What word?” he was confused.

“Girlfriend.” I took in his expression as I looked at him. His face ran warm, his lips curled to catch my excitement, and his eyes danced glimpses with mine.

“Is it okay to call you that?” He pulled over.

“I guess that depends on your definition.” I followed his eyes tracing up my body. His jaw flexed and he pitched a growl low in his throat.

“Well, how would you like the definition to read?” he asked.

Now that wasn’t fair. I know exactly how I wanted it to read and it included words like relationship, exclusive, and monogamous. The problem was, I didn’t know what his definition was going to be.
