Can I Tell You Something? (Snowbound Secrets, #1)

by Holly June Smith

She’s so fucking beautiful. The way she blushes, the way her teeth catch her lip, the way she inhales slowly, gathering her thoughts, holding something back. Not for the first time, I wonder what she’d be like if she was completely uninhibited, completely herself. Could I get her to bite her lip that way while holding back a moan? Could I get her to beg for what she wants? I’d sure as hell give it my best shot. “Nothing wrong with you,” I whisper. I want to kiss her. I could kiss her, right here, but there’s every chance she’d push me over the edge of the slope and I’d never be seen again. Or she wouldn’t push me, but I’d embarrass her more, and she’d retreat even further. Neither option is good. I have plenty of time with her, and if something happens, something happens. “I tell you what,” I say, holding both ski poles in one hand so I can rest the other on her shoulder. “I have one more question, then we can stop talking about this, unless you want to bring it up again.” A long pause hangs in the air between us. I want the ball in her court, but her silence tells me she doesn’t want to end this conversation at all. “OK. What’s the question?” “Did you enjoy my latest audio?” Hannah gasps, her mouth opening and closing, cheeks blooming as she struggles to articulate her response. I won’t make her suffer any longer. “Thought so,” I say, unable to hide my smile. I want to touch her so fucking badly. I settle for a tug on one of her pigtails.
