“Oh yeah and it even has a gemstone on the end,” she mused. “Is that supposed to win me over? I mean did you have an assless dress for me to wear with that and those pants over there to show it off?” She pointed at the shredded panties on the floor.
“Alright, let’s drop this for now, get our winter gear on and take a walk around the cabin. We won’t get far because the snow is deep, but I think a breath of fresh air will do us both good.”
“That’s an excellent idea, Jamie. I much prefer the experience of hypothermia to being shafted with a metal spear.”
I wanted to argue the point about the spear, but I’d made my introductions between Daisy and her next adventure. I wasn’t a stupid man, and I knew when to let things simmer with Daisy and when to bring them to a boil.
CHAPTER 10
“Mornin’,” Daisy croaked as she squinted against the glare of the bright sun from the window as I tucked my cell back into my jeans pocket. My heart instantly sped up and I hoped I didn’t have a guilty look on my face. I’d been up for two hours arranging our day and had been just about to wake her when she came padding into the family room.
“There you are. I was just coming to get you. Grab a quick shower and we’ll head down to the resort for the day.”
“You’ve been in the shower already?” she asked. She looked a little disorientated and I guessed the time change was still a challenge for her.
“Yeah, been up for a couple of hours, but it’s only 9:30 am. I thought we’d have a late brunch and I’d introduce you to skiing. I figured we could stay down there today and have an early dinner before we come back here.”
Daisy grinned and her eyes glittered excitedly. “I’ve never been skiing, and I’ve always wanted to try it.”
“Good because Felix booked a ski instructor for you. I’m a good snowboarder, but I didn’t want to risk us fighting if I tried to teach you,” I disclosed.
“Right, I better get a move on. Don’t you dare follow me into the shower again. I didn’t come all this way to view all this pretty landscape on my back or on my knees through a window.”
Her comment made me crack up laughing and she gave me a naughty smirk before she disappeared into the hallway again. I pulled my cell back out and called Felix.
“Daisy’s in the shower. Is everything all set?” I asked. I listened while he told me our plans for the day and then I agreed to text him once we reached the resort.
After I had concluded our call I went back to the bedroom, pulled out some thermals for both Daisy and I, then dressed for the trip down the mountainside. Daisy reappeared from the shower wearing a tank top and panties. She looked fucking edible, but time was running short.
“Put these on, and then this,” I said handing her the long johns and long-sleeved thermal T-shirt. Daisy did as I asked. I handed her a turtleneck sweater and asked her to do the same. I texted the chalet girl to set the fires for later and instructed them to be lit around 8:00. After Daisy was dressed, we both put on our scarfs, snoods, ski pants, jackets and gloves. I had already packed both sets of goggles, mint candy bars, spare thermals, hats and gloves in my backpack.
“Ready?” I asked, lifting both our helmets from the wooden rack by the front door.
“As I’ll ever be. But bejesus, I’m hot,” she quipped. Her eyes danced with excitement.
“Okay, stand here on the porch until I bring the snowmobile out of the shelter,” I said, opening the front door. The snow had stopped and thankfully the wind that had been around from the day before had died down.
I started the snowmobile and let the engine run for a minute until I felt the handlebars and the seat grow warm, then I climbed on and reversed it out to beside the front porch. Daisy stood out on the porch with the door ajar and fastened her helmet.
“Just a sec, I need the key hanging next to the coat hook.”
Daisy leaned in, grabbed it and locked the door. I dropped the key into my backpack for safe keeping and put my bag on my front. Standing on the last step for purchase, Daisy climbed on behind me. “Ready?” I called out to her.
“Yes, this is so exciting,” she responded, and I smiled. As we set off, my belly flipped a little with nerves too, because I’d hoped that would be her answer to everything else I asked of her today.
CHAPTER 11
Felix had done a great job of networking with the hospitality establishments in Sugarbush and the surrounding areas. It was thanks to him that Daisy and I had been given a discreet table in the restaurant for our brunch, which had meant I drew minimum attention to us. He then took us to a section of the ski equipment rental center that had been cordoned off for us to have our skis fitted in private.
Once fitted with our ski equipment, I carried both Daisy’s and my skis over my shoulder. When I pulled my ski mask up to my nose put my shades on, I looked just like everyone else.
Felix on the other hand, still looked like Felix. He’d been photographed by my side so many times that he was a minor celebrity in his own right. I passed him a spare beanie. “Pull your goggles down,” I said as we turned to follow him.
“I don’t see why you couldn’t have taught me yourself,” Daisy complained as we picked our steps through the snow on the way to meet the private ski instructor Felix had hired.
“I don’t want to be responsible for you not being able to do it. If you have someone else teach you then we won’t get into a fight.”
“And since when have we fought about anything?” she challenged.
