The damn woman had turned me down. After I'd kissed her silly. And she'd kissed me back! She was the most oppositional woman I'd ever met. She was a pain in ass. A real ball buster. A stuck up prude! She was also the first woman to get more than half hearted interested in me since- well- ever. I'd dated my share of girls over the years. Plenty of them. Loads. But the past decade had been almost exclusively meaningless flings. They took care of a temporary need, but nothing more. No entanglements. No relationship. No repeats. That's what I was after with my new, pain in the ass, gorgeous as hell next door neighbor. One night of pure unadulterated, break the headboard sex. Then we would go our separate ways. It was just what I needed. Right? I glanced at her. She was staring straight ahead, ignoring me. She looked annoyed with me. Not that that was anything new. But it didn't matter. She'd kissed me back. The second time anyway. I touched my cheek where she'd slapped it and grinned. I turned into her long driveway and stole a glance at her again. This time I let my eyes wander over her tits and down to her long, lean legs. Hmmfff... the girl was put together right! "Jackson!" I looked up, stopping just in time. I'd almost hit Elle's car where it was parked in the driveway. Whoops. It wasn't my fault Angelina's legs were so damn distracting. She was glaring at me again as she undid her seatbelt. "You are a terrible driver!" I leaned towards her. Enough was enough with this woman. I wasn't having her sass for another damn minute! "No. I'm not." "Yes. You are." "I'm a fine driver. I was just distracted." "By what? We are in the middle of nowhere!" "By you." Her pretty little mouth opened in that way she had and I grabbed her. My tongue plunged into her sweet, warm mouth again and again. I wasted no time putting my hands where I wanted them. On her hips. She had damn good hips. Soft and just right for a man's hands. They'd be perfect leverage when I- "Ouch!" I stared at her in shock. One minute she was kissing me back and the next she was- "Ouch!" She'd slapped me. Twice. Three times in the last fifteen minutes. That had to be some sort of a record. "You have quite a temper Miss Angelina." "It's Ms. Randall!" I smirked as she got out of the car, slamming the door behind her. I watched her ass as it shimmied a bit with each step. She was stomping her cute little feet, angry as all get out. She slammed the front door behind her too. I got out and stretched, then meandered over to the door. I wondered how long it would take her to remember that it was her car, and that I still had her keys. I leaned against the door jam, whistling as I looked up at the stars. A minute later the door slammed open. I hadn't know it was possible to angrily open a door, but she did it. The woman had style, that was for sure. I smirked at her as she huffed at me. But she didn't realize that I was the big bad wolf in this scenario. Not her. She was the little piggie. "Forget something?" She glared at me, holding out her hand. "Keys." Slowly I lifted them up and dropped them into her palm. "Now go!" "Sure thing. Just send Elle out. She's my ride and it's getting chilly out here. Unless you'd rather keep me warm..." She started to say something and then stopped. I could practically see the steam coming out of her ears. I stifled a laugh as she shut the door in my face again. I spoke real loud just to be sure she could hear me. "See you tomorrow sunshine."

Throwing a blow-out bash for hot rockstar-turned-music exec Ace Carmichael should be as easy as pecan pie. It’s my chance to prove my party-planning skills, but this bad boy client isn’t making life simple with his broody looks and aversion to shirts. If only he'd stop tempting me to jingle all the way...to his hot tub...this could be my big break.

But thanks to four feet of snow, the event of the year is suddenly a party for two. So deck the halls with a dangerously sexy tattooed rocker, a dozen cases of champagne and…me.

When the snow melts, Santa might not be the only one who’s coming. So what’s it going to be this year: naughty or nice?

I give a very theatrical, hopefully convincing yawn. “Wow, it’s late and I’m beat. Time for bed.” I click off the television as Ace stands and helps me to my feet.

​He doesn’t let go of my hand. We’re close enough that I can feel heat radiating from his body. I breathe in the scent of him, pine and snow. He’s only wearing a thin black tee shirt, and I’m pretty sure I can pick out the definition of every part of his body.

​He still hasn’t let go of my hand. Lightly, he runs his thumb across my palm.

​“I don’t know if you got the full tour of the house. Best thing about it, in my opinion, is the spa hot tub. It’s just outside.”

​“Oh?” I should take my hand away, but my body won’t do what I tell it. “It’s a little cold out there, isn’t it?”

​“Once you’re in, you won’t even notice. I’m planning on a midnight soak.” He pulls me a little closer, mischief in his expression. “Why don’t you join me?”

​“I.” There’s nothing I can say that’ll make sense. Ace grins. It’s a wicked smile, that’s the only way to describe it. “I don’t think I should,” I manage. “There’s a perfectly functional tub in my bathroom, anyway. So. I’ll just take a raincheck. On the hot tub.”

​“You don’t want to try it?” He lets go of my hand and touches my face. “Or is it that you’re afraid of me?” He trails his fingertips across my cheek. “Which is it? Door one or two? One of them leads to a fabulous destination vacation.” His voice drops to a lower register. A sexy one. “You should loosen up, party planner. It’s just hot water. And I promise you’ll still be your tough and capable self afterward.”

​My breath hitches in my throat. I’m almost ready to say something stupid, like ‘I don’t have a bathing suit’ or ‘which way to the pitch black snowy outdoors?’ when common sense crashes through the window to truss me up, sling me over its shoulder, and race away.

​“It’s going to be a long day tomorrow. I should get some sleep. Good night.” I break away from him as not-awkwardly as possible and head upstairs. I have to stop halfway up, though, and lean against the railing and close my eyes. My heart is still racing, and all the heat in my body has pooled, not so unwelcomely, between my legs.

​I told the truth—I do have to grab a shower and go to bed. But the thought of Ace out there in the hot tub, stripped down, his muscles relaxing under the beat of the jets… 

I’ll probably need to make it a cold shower.
