Chapter Thirteen

“You know, fluffy city chicks rarely do hikes through snow-covered mountains,” she grunted as she climbed the upwards slope to wherever the heck her so-called bodyguard was dragging her.

That was unkind. He was exceedingly thoughtful and had packed plenty of waters and snacks for them both. He even carried them. Truth be told, they’d only been walking like twenty minutes.

With her parka and boots, and the scarf, hat, and gloves he had found for her in the closet, Carolina felt like that kid in A Christmas Story. The little brother who could not put his arms down after his mother finished dressing him for the snow.

“You wanted to see my beast, and I just want to give you the best vantage point. I can carry you, if you want?” he returned and moved towards her, but she swatted at his hands.

“I am not an invalid! Sheesh, can’t a girl just complain once in a while without a man trying to fix everything?”

“I’m sorry. I will keep that in mind, baby,” he said and flashed that panty-melting grin of his.

Uh oh. Caro realized why she was so snappish. She was horny.

Dang it.

Even though he’d given her a taste of bliss just last night, her traitorous body seemed to want more. How could she be so easy for the guy? He was a stranger.

The last time she’d trusted herself, she married a man who’d tired of her after a few months. Really, she and Joffrey should never have stayed together as long as they had. What a waste that had been.

But here she was, getting head from a Shifter, and letting him call her baby. What the fuck was that about? She was never the kind of girl men called pet names.

Okay, fine—yes—she liked it when he said it.

Maybe she was scared because of her prior experience with her ex. Or maybe she just knew the gorgeous Shifter was out of her league.

It was Christmas Eve, though. So, maybe Carolina should tell her inner voice to just shut the hell up and have a good time?

Good plan.

“This will work,“ Jasper said, jogging her from her thoughts.

They walked through a stand of tall pines heavy with snow. When she would have slipped, he was there, steadying her with a firm arm around her waist and a hand on her elbow. Right before her eyes was an open field blanketed in thick, white fluffy frozen stuff that made her want to squeal and play like she was a child again.

“Where did this come from?”

“The trees hid it from view. Do you like it?” he asked, hope shining in his golden eyes. “In the summer, this is covered in tall grass with patches of colorful wildflowers sprawled across, like drops of paint across a canvas.”

“Wow! That sounds gorgeous,” she enthused.

“I’ll have to bring you back to see it,” he said, his voice deep and husky, sending little zaps of heat curling through her body straight down between her legs.

At this rate, she was going to have to wash her clothes.
