Snowed in with Grumpy (Silver Mountain, #1)

by Olivia Noble

“Damn, why does that man have to be straight? The things I would do to that tight body of his. Meow. I would climb him like a kitten trying to destroy a Christmas tree.”

When he stands close, his energy is somewhat calming to the chaos of my mind.

Besides, you look damn good, you know? I am sure that your tinsel tits are emblazoned in Grumpy’s memory banks forever. Better to be unforgettable than boring, don’t you think?”

“Trust me, girl. I saw the telltale bulge. And it wasn’t no semi. It was a full-on freight train.”

“You gotta shake the package a little to see what’s inside before you unwrap it. That’s half the excitement.”

“Okay, Miss Coffee Boobs. I can see you shivering with cold, so maybe you should come inside and help me drink this wine. And tell me why you really came all this way.”

“Okay, Miss Ava Snow. Since you’re so eager to tell me about your developer’s offer, go ahead. We’ve got time. But I will warn you, I’ve heard it all before. I’m not an easy man to sell on anything.”

“Because, people ruin everything, my dear,” he says quietly. “We just take and take until everything around us is destroyed. We don’t know how to live in harmony with other creatures. We just dominate them.”

“Maybe I find chopping wood therapeutic. Maybe it’s a relaxing form of outdoor exercise, which lowers my blood pressure. Especially after dealing with greedy and spoiled, money-grubbing city women like you.”

“Coffee boobs, date one,” I say, counting on my fingers. “Wine and sweatpants, date two. Avalanche rescue, date three.”

Eww

“Patience, kitten,”

God no.

“I’m nuts about nuts,” he confesses. “Peanuts, tree nuts, macadamia nuts, brazil nuts. I even have a tattoo of nuts on my nuts.”
