“You’re going to freeze to death out here,” I say. She’s about to turn around but I step up behind her, and pull her against my chest. I slide my arms around her body, and hug her to me.

“It’s so beautiful out here. I bet the sunrise is gorgeous.”

“Maybe tomorrow we can set the alarm.”

She nods, and her hair tickles my nose. I stare off in the distance, take in the gorgeous town with all the mountains and valleys. “I guess this wasn’t such a bad honeymoon location after all.”

She chuckles. “It’s not the beach, but we can still go swimming. This hotel has a pool.”

“I didn’t pack a suit,” I say.

“I’m sure there’s a gift shop where we can get you one.”

“Please don’t make me go shopping.” My stomach takes that moment to grumble and Katee laughs. “I guess I worked up quite an appetite last night,” I say, using my hunger to open up the conversation about what happened last night.

“Me too.”

“Katee.” She turns in my arms and when she smiles up at me, I let loose a breath. “How are you feeling today?”

She absently twirls her hair around one finger, and looks down for a moment. “I’ve used muscles that I haven’t used in years.”

“Skiing will do that to you,” I tease.

She pinches my nipple through my robe, then her eyes go wide. “Oops.”

“Oops, my ass,” I say, and she chuckles. “We’re good, right?” I ask.

“We’re good, Luke. We’re better than good.” She rests her head on my chest, and my heart pounds a little harder.

“So then you’re going to let me bend you over the coffee table, show you how good sex can be in different positions?” She nods, but it feels tight against my body. “What?”

She lifts her head and smiles but I know her well enough to know it’s forced. “I need food,” she says.

I want to press, but maybe she just needs time to process. “Why don’t you get a shower, and I’ll have your coffee ready for you when you’re done.”

“Sounds good.”

“Where do you want to go to breakfast?” I ask

She rubs her stomach. “All I want is a protein shake.”

“Like hell. We’re on our honeymoon, and we’re indulging.”

“Luke…” She sticks her stomach out. “I’m going to have a big muffin top when I leave here if I’m not careful.”

“Haven’t I told you how much I like muffins.” I lick my lips, and lust moves into her eyes. She reaches for my nipple again but catches herself.

“Go ahead,” I say. “I dare you.”

She squeals and dashes off to the bathroom, closing the door behind her. I go back to the kitchen and take two mugs from the cupboard. I toss in a splash of milk, and catch sight of the package Veronica gave us for winning the game. “Hey, should we go on the helicopter ride today?” I dig through the brochures and read about the tour until the coffee maker beeps. I fill our cups and walk to the bathroom. I call out to Katee, but she can’t hear me with the water running.

I take a sip of my coffee and my damn cock thickens as I picture her in there soaping up her gorgeous body. Goddammit, I need her again. Fuck, last night was just a teaser, a taste of how good things are between us and I want more. Honest to fuck, no matter how many times I take her, it will never be enough to sate my need.

I open the door, and from behind the glass door, Katee is running her hands all over her body.

“Hey,” I say, and she yelps.

“You scared me.” She wipes steam from the glass. “What are you doing?”
