the wrong impression.
Those were fantasies she came up with, and not necessarily her own. But if he
knew, would he think they were?
    That was the
same question she asked herself about anyone who knew her. If she was outed,
would her friends and family be disappointed in her? Would they be concerned about
her warped mind? Not that she thought it was warped, nor did her readers
apparently.
    “You’ve never
been skiing?”
    Grateful he was
keeping the conversation on simpler topics, Ashleigh responded, “Nope.”
    Her list was
long. So many exciting things she wanted to do. Along with the exhilaration of
trying something for the first time, Ashleigh sometimes needed to get out of
her own head for a little while. Having new things to conquer gave her that
brief reprieve. Since she didn’t have enough time to do them all at once, she
would just write them down for the future. “What about you? Are you a skier?”
    “Not much, no.
I’ve been a couple of times, but can’t say I’m good at it.”
    “See, that’s the
part that doesn’t matter. As long as you’ve tried it once, you can say you’ve
done it. Then you know whether you liked it or not, regardless of how good you
are.”
    Ashleigh took a
chance and looked at Alex. He looked lost in thought, and, not for the first
time, she wanted to get inside his brain and rummage around. She was pretty
sure she’d find some fascinating things there.

    Alex was having
a hard time concentrating on the words Ashleigh was stringing together. Between
the intoxicatingly sweet scent of her hair, and those luscious pink lips, his
brain wasn’t functioning because it was suffering from blood loss.
    Although his
dick wasn’t having any issues paying attention.
    That was the
problem with being around Ashleigh. Or thinking about her. Or dreaming about
her. He was rendered completely useless because his body was on overload. From
the sweet scent of her glossy, brown hair, to the gleam in her whiskey brown
eyes, to those more than perfect lips, Alex couldn’t get enough of her. He
wanted to run his tongue over the seam of her lips just to find out if she
tasted as sweet as she smelled.
    He might just
get punched for that one.
    “I’ve never been
horseback riding either.” He offered, hoping they were still on the same topic.
“Never has been my thing, I guess.”
    “Not a cowboy,
Alex?” She teased.
    He liked when
she teased him. A lot.
    Since she
usually had her guard up when he was around, being with Ashleigh when she was
relaxed and talkative was a first for him.
    He’d come upon
her in the living room, not expecting her to be there, and he’d been like a
moth drawn to a flame.
    At the moment in
time when he saw her standing there, looking ridiculously hot in a pair of
tight, faded jeans and cowboy boots – or were they cowgirl boots? Hell, it
didn’t’ matter. She was fucking hot – he hadn’t been able to turn away from
her.
    When he had
taken her hand, her long, slender fingers linking with his, he’d made a point
to walk outside, rather than to find the first available room so he could feel
those soft hands on other parts of his body.
    Not that she
would have gone for any of that. Not Ashleigh. She wasn’t the playful type. Or
at least not when he was around.
    He was suddenly
interested in changing all of that.
    “What are you
doing tomorrow?” He asked, standing suddenly from the restless hunger that
surged through him.
    “Tomorrow?” She
asked, sounding surprised.
    “Yes. Saturday.
What are you doing on Saturday?” He repeated, taking her hand and pulling her
to her feet.
    “N-nothing.” She
stammered. “Well, that’s not entirely true. I sort of need to unpack a few
things, and I had planned to go running in the morning.”
    “What about
tomorrow afternoon?” Since Ashleigh wasn’t deflecting his question, or flat out
pretending she didn’t hear him which was usual for her, Alex was going to
