NATALIE

Christmas Eve

I catch myself staring off into the distance like a ninny, my glance that was mere seconds ago studying the blizzard, now unfocused as my mind wonders in direction it shouldn’t take and reliving something that I’d better forget.

“Grounds of insanity,” I murmur like a mantra. “Focus, girl.”

Why can’t I stop having these stupid strange thoughts about Tristan?

This is all his fault, of course.

Why does he have to be this impossibly hot?

I glower at the frost on the window.

Did I say ‘hot’?

It doesn’t matter, I still meant ‘asshat’.

A stupid, large, muscular, handsome asshat.

And why does he have to smell that damn good?

My body shivers as I hug myself.

How can I remember his scent down to the last note?

Am I freaking losing it?

Is that it?

Woodsmoke, fresh pine and dark chocolate.

Damn him. Why does he have to smell like things that stuff?

I happen to like those things, dammit it!

“Stop it,” I murmur to myself.

I need to get going.

We’re getting ready to leave in a bit to go spend Christmas Eve with our families and our employees down at the main hotel and our dads are sending someone to pick us up on a truck, because there’s no way we could use a ski lift in this weather, and going on foot would be even more crazy even though it’s ‘only’ a fifteen minutes hike that we have had to take before during our stay here since that damn relationship coach spawn of Satan forced us to actually walk down and then climb back up the mountain to ‘learn how to work as a team’ and ‘bond’.

She wouldn’t get through her thick head that we’re from freaking California, for heaven’s sake!

The ranger who called us however said they couldn’t get a truck to come all the way up to the location of our hermit chalet nestled up high on this damn mountain, so we’ll have to walk a little bit and meet them halfway.

I’m sure that evil Grinchette of Alice is probably in tears at the idea of Tristan and myself being ‘pampered’ and chauffeured down the slope, but with such freezing conditions there was no way we could go completely ‘outdoorsy’ today, so she was outnumbered, and she’ll have to stuff it.

I sigh when my mind shifts once more from the task of getting ready back to the ‘event’ and I grow even more uncomfortable when my lips starts to tingle, and my heart picks up its pace.

Dammit!

I don’t need this.

I don’t!

Why can’t my idiot brain give me a break!

It’s not like I’m not confused enough as it is.

Why did it have to feel so stupidly good?

Why couldn’t it be sloppy and creep me out?

I mean, I freaking loathe that sexy giant bastard…

I grimace… no, not sexy, not sexy at all.

Not sexy with those damn glasses and stupid suspenders and freaking idiotic bowties.

Not sexy with that panty-dropping half smile of his.

Not sexy with that maddening stubble and those full lips.

Nope.

Not sexy.

I’m not attracted to him.

I am not.

I need to get dressed and get out of here pronto.
