with last night, she had ended up in his arms and, eventually, his bed. If all goes according to plan, we will be getting married soon anyway, she thought. The moment she found out from Will’s lips that he was unattached, the deal was completely sealed in her eyes.
                  Lying back against the Egyptian cotton pillows while Will still slept soundly, she looked around at the beautiful cabin’s master bedroom. The stone fireplace, large wooden beams, and elegantly appointed furnishings reminded her that this finery would be a part of her daily life when she married Will. Not that she had grown up lacking for anything, but her father’s airport did not provide for this sort of absolute luxury.
                  When Will finally began to stir, she rolled over so that she was facing him. She kissed his lips to speed up his waking process. He trailed his hand down her bare back, pulling her closer to him.
    “This is a nice way wake up,” he murmured.
    “I would have to agree,” she smiled into their kiss.
                  Several moments later, as they lay there catching their breath, Scarlett said out of the blue, “Let’s go skiing today.”
    She knew it probably surprised him for her to say that. Most guys took her at face value, assuming she preferred lunching and shopping to anything outdoorsy, but they were wrong. As much as she loved shopping, she loved the outdoors. She just preferred to look really pretty while being in it.
    “Sure, that would be fun,” he agreed as he got up and headed to the shower.
                  They dressed and headed to the resort lodge. Since the only outfit Scarlett had with her was her crimson dress from the day before, Will insisted she borrow a pair of his sweatpants and a sweatshirt. She accepted the offer appreciatively, but couldn’t tell him it was something she would never, under any other circumstance, be caught dead wearing in public.
                  “You look beautiful,” he smiled at her sincerely when they were getting out of the car. She tucked her head, shyly. No guy had ever complimented when she wasn’t wearing makeup, was dressed like a bum, and had her hair pulled back.
                  “Thank you,” she replied and took his hand in hers as they walked towards the entrance of the lodge.
     
    Over a delicious brunch spread in the resort’s restaurant, they planned out their day on the slopes.
    “Let’s hit this trail first,” Scarlett pointed to a trail on the resort’s map as she took a bite of French toast.
    “Okay, what will be our next stop?”Will asked between sips of espresso.He loved that Scarlett was very knowledgeable about the different ski trails, and since he was a great skier, he was thrilled to have such a beautiful partner who it seemed would match his skill. This woman was a dream come true to him. “Are you a professional skier?” Will joked.
    “No, I am just a very skilled amateur,” Scarlett laughed. “Surely you are more skilled than I am. You’ve probably skied in the Alps before,” she added.
    He felt slightly guilty when she said that, because he was fairly positive she thought he was the wealthy buyer come to buy her daddy’s airport. At first, he had no problem going along with the idea, especially since it was not the first time he had helped Jake out by thwarting many a gold digger’s attempts to ensnare the poor guy. He had never minded, but this time, with this girl, he minded a great deal. He genuinely liked her, and she seemed to be taking the time to get to know him, as opposed to the other women he had helped keep away from Jake. Now, she was showing signs of falling for him, as well. He needed to come clean, and soon.

    After working all morning, Jake suggested they go into town for a much needed lunch break.
    “I brought my lunch, but thanks anyway,” Abby said as they picked up the tools they had been using.
    “I
