Don't Go Outside

Trapped under snow and ice…
They shouldn’t be feeling this hot under the collar.

CADE
All I have to do is get through this stupid trip my big brother insisted on me coming on.
It’s a distraction from the fact that, six months later, I’m still not over my cheating ex. He knows I need to get away.
But, honestly, I’m not looking forward to spending a long weekend with a bunch of football bros. I’ll just use it as an excuse to get some quiet study time.
At least, that’s the plan – until an avalanche leaves me stuck with a stupidly hot football player whose brutal honesty makes me weak at the knees.
Aiden is forbidden on so many levels: he’s a straight guy who could probably pummel me into the ground, he has a reputation for being a horn dog already, and he’s also one of my big brother’s teammates.
Now all I have to do is make sure he doesn’t notice how turned on he makes me until we get rescued…

AIDEN
For my whole life, I’ve never questioned my sexuality.
Until the moment an avalanche came down on our cabin and my body reacted instinctively – protecting cutie Cade from getting hurt.
Then it reacted in other ways.
It’s probably only a matter of time before my big mouth gets me in trouble. I’ll either offend Cade by accident and he’ll hate me forever, or I’ll blurt out the fact that I can’t stop imagining what it would be like to kiss him. A rejection – or finding out that I’m not as interested in him as I thought – could make things real awkward down here under the snow, especially given that we need to share a bed for warmth.
The only question is – is there something else I can do with my mouth that might make the wait for rescue more bearable…?
