face, "You're getting all insecure on me, that's a side of you I'd put money on never seeing."
"Insecure? Me? Pah! No, but seriously, I have wondered ever since, if you were feeling how I was, if you enjoyed yourself as much as I did."
"Yeah, I did. I had an incredible time, I was quite looking forward to having an LA fuck buddy to call up every time I went to my sister's... but I changed my mind about that when I started liking you for more than just sex."
"You say it like there's something wrong with liking me, am I that bad a catch?"
"Oh come on, Luke," I say with a grin, "you forget I was the female equivalent of you, we don't do more than sex. You're an amazing catch in some ways, but no one wants a man who can't keep his dick in his pants; no one wants a catch that doesn't want to be caught. Stop making out like you're the relationship type, I'm not even the relationship type, you don't need to play that game with me."
"I can keep my dick in my pants," he says with a frown and a pout, like a child.
"Have you ever had to keep your dick in your pants?"
"Once, yeah. A long, long time ago. And I didn't have to; I wanted to."
That does surprise me, I'm intrigued. "Really? Who was that? Didn't work out, obviously, did it fall out of your pants accidentally?" I ask playfully.
He smiles a very small, very shy sort of a smile, one I've never seen before. "Actually, no, it didn't. Hey, let's talk about something else, this is all a bit too deep for your first day in Aspen. What shall we do?"
Oh! I really want to know what happened! Damn it, he obviously doesn't want to discuss it. "Okay, um, I don't know, what shall we do? I'm quite enjoying your hot bod right now."
"Let's chill out here then, I'll take you for lunch later and then we can come back and get ready for dinner tonight, I think it's here."
"How do you know this stuff?"
"Daniel texted me earlier, they all know we're together, obviously, so he sent me today's plan of action. They won't be back from skiing until about four, four-thirty."
"Okay then," I say as I snuggle back into his chest and enjoy feeling so warm and cosy out here in the chilly, winter wonderland.
CHAPTER THREE
THURSDAY 20TH DECEMBER (CONT.)
"Hey, Princess..." Luke's voice stirs me from a deep sleep, from my happy dream about Wriggler; I had her in my arms, she was the tiniest little thing, wrapped in a pink blanket, wearing a white hat that Luke's mum had knitted. Oh, so sweet. Are you a girl, Wriggler?
"Wake up, hey..."
"Mmm?" I say, as I stretch and gaze at the impressive chest I'm pressed up against.
"What were you dreaming about? You were smiling and telling me to look at her; look at who? You secretly fantasising about a threesome?"
I giggle but holy fuck, that could have been bad! Since when do I talk in my sleep? "No idea, but before you go out looking for potential third candidates, I'm not into it."
"Ah, shit," he says with a cheeky grin, "so you wanna go grab some lunch now?
"Yeah, okay." I say, starting to move, when he holds me still, pulling me closer into his body.
"I've never really looked at a chick asleep before, it's not usually part of the deal, but you're cute when you sleep, your cheeks flush pink, you look so... peaceful." Oh my god. Luke!
"Luke, why are you acting weirdly? We're fuck buddies. Stop being lovey dovey, I know you're in love with me and everything, but..." and before I can get any further, he grabs my face and devours my mouth, his tongue caressing mine, his lips soft, but in full control. I completely succumb to his touch, relaxing fully against him, giving in. He stands effortlessly and carries me inside.
He sits on the bed with me, and slowly pulls away, resting his forehead on mine. "I don't get bored of you, it's so odd."
"Wow, what a compliment," I say with a chuckle, "but as fascinated as you are by me, we're not having sex, we're going out to eat. So you'll have to let me go."
"Well that's no fun."
"Nope, see? You'll be bored
