“He’s not wearing red and white ski boots,” I told the assistant who looked perplexed that I’d agreed with him. I winked to let him know I was placating Paddy. The truth was you couldn’t argue with Paddy when he was drunk. Years of working with him had taught me the best way to deal with my inebriated friend was to placate him and then to distract him.

“Listen buddy, Daisy and I haven’t eaten this morning yet. What say we head over the road to that café and grab something to eat while Felix sorts something out about the boots?”

Paddy looked at me for a long moment; at least I figured he was trying to focus on my face and eventually he nodded. “Do they sell lager?”

I turned him in the direction of the door and began walking with him. “Why don’t we go over there and find out?”

“He’s not seriously going to let him drink more?” I heard Daisy mutter to Felix as we passed Bernie who trailed behind us. I winked at my girl to tell her I had the situation under control. The only drink I’d let Paddy drink was a gallon and a half of coffee.

After forty-five minutes in the café, Paddy was still boozed up to his eyeballs. Ryan and Belle had deserted us for the slopes, and I was pissed that Paddy had taken time away from my girl.

“You’re going back to bed to sleep some of this off,” I ordered, although I figured with the amount he’d likely had, to be in the state that he was, we’d all be back in Ireland before he’d be sober again.

After some protestations from Paddy and Bernie, my faithful bodyguard had carted them off to bed.

“We’re heading back up to the cabin,” I stated to Felix, after I had a word with Daisy and she had agreed.

“At least there’s an upside to Paddy’s drinking,” I mumbled as we strolled back to the snowmobile hand in hand.

“Yeah? What’s that? He’s single-handedly trying to keep the alcohol exports afloat?”

I laughed at my girl’s sense of humor. “No, you missed your ski lesson with that asshat, ski instructor this morning.”

Daisy grinned and gave my hand a squeeze. “Aww, are you still upset about Allessandro?”

Pretending to be pissed, I swung her around in front of me and held her to my chest. “Listen, you might think twice about mocking me when you see what I’ve got in store for you when we get back to the cabin.”

“Oh, yeah? Sounds like tough talk, Jamie Fontaine. I hope you’ve got the goods to back that statement up,” she challenged with a grin.

“Baby, you have no idea.”

CHAPTER 19

“I can’t get over how cold it is here, even during the day,” Daisy stated, as she peeled off her ski jacket and bent down to remove her boots.

“It is, but if you wear plenty of layers and go skiing it’s barely noticeable.”

“Says the guy with enough muscle that the cold can’t penetrate.”

“I love penetration,” I shot back and flashed her a wicked smile.

“You have sex on the brain, Jamie Fontaine,” she mumbled as she turned and bent to place the boots together on the floor.

“It’s not on my brain right now,” I joked as I grabbed her hips from behind and ground my semi-hard cock against her ass.

Daisy stood and tipped her ass back against me, pulled out of my reach and turned to face me. “I think so, because your brain is sending messages to your dick,” she replied, as she chuckled. She placed her hands on my chest and pushed me back.

“Down boy. I need a shower to warm me up,” she explained. Daisy patted my chest, stepped past me and removed her ski pants.

“Great idea, naked showers are the best warmups,” I replied, following suit by removing the rest of my ski wear.

“What other kind are there?” she queried with a raised eyebrow.

“Drunken showers of course. Those are the ones where your buddies shove you in with all your clothes on to sober you up before you go unconscious.”

“Mm, perhaps we should have done that with Paddy and Bernie,” Daisy mused.

“Don’t go giving me ideas. I’m pissed he got himself into that state, today of all days.”
