you.” Jesse laughed. Back on their normal bantering level, Jesse relaxed. Disaster averted.
    Kayla shook her head with a grin on her face. “God, you two are worse than my brothers.” She stepped between them and linked her arm through both of their elbows. “Let’s hit the slopes, boys.”
     
    Icy wind hit their faces the minute they stepped outside. Kayla eyed the chunk taken out of her ski and grimaced. She couldn’t believe she’d damaged a perfectly good ski over a loser like Matt.
    “Here.” Chris handed her a snowboard. “It’s my crappy board but it’s better than nothing.”
    “Thanks.” She hooked the board under her arm and trekked up the hill toward the bullet chair with Chris and Jesse beside her.
    In the lineup, Kayla got bumped back by a group of rowdy kids. By the time she made her way past the group, a couple of ski bunnies were in full-on look-at-me mode, trying to get Jesse and Chris to notice them. When the men saw her, they both smiled and moved apart to make room for Kayla to join them.
    The two women eyed Kayla, their gazes sweeping over her body. With a predatory smile the blonde stepped closer to Chris. “So you guys want to ride up with us?”
    Kayla burst out laughing. Who did that kind of thing? Standing there, she realized she couldn’t remember the last time she saw Chris or Jesse pick someone up. Whenever they were all out for the night they both brushed off advances. Even though it meant passing up on a night with a beautiful woman they had always left with Kayla. She couldn’t help but wonder if that meant something and she had just been too blind to realize it.
    “No thanks, we’re good here.” Chris turned his body and blocked the two women out of their group. He rolled his eyes at Kayla.
    Jesse slung his arm around Kayla’s shoulder. “You’re gonna have to get used to it, Kay. Our boy here is a quite a catch. You know how the ladies like a cop.”
    Kayla tilted her head and grinned. “Why do you think I caught him?”
    Chris’ eyes darkened. “You sure you want to stay out here freezing when we could be back at the cabin all nice and hot?”
    Jesse’s body tensed behind her, ready to go.
    She laughed. “Sorry, boys, you know how cheap I am. We paid for these passes. We’re using them.”
    Chris clasped his hand to his heart. “Oh Kay, you’re killing me.”
    “Well, toughen up,” she teased.
    Jesse bumped her with his hip. “We’re up.” He pushed her forward in the line and they waited for the chair to come up and take them up the hill.
    When they were halfway up the hill the horn sounded and the chair stopped. Chris kicked his leg to get the seat swinging. He always thought it was so funny to freak her out on the lift.
    Kayla glared at him. “Do you plan on getting lucky when we get back to the cabin?”
    “Is that a real question?” Chris asked her.
    “Keep kicking your legs and you’ll find out.”
    Chris’ legs immediately stopped swinging.
    “Oh shit.” Jesse laughed. “Now that we’ve sampled the goods, it looks like she’s found a way to finally get us to do what she wants.”
    The horn sounded again and the purr of the chair started back up. At the top of the hill they headed right. They had all been skiing and boarding together for so long they didn’t even need to check what runs they planned to hit. They each had their favorites and before the day was through they would hit them all. Since they were all boarding, Kayla knew they would finish the day on the half-pipe doing tricks.
    At the top of their first black diamond run, Kayla didn’t even think about waiting. She pushed off down the hill, yelling back over her shoulder, “See you at the bottom, suckers.”
    She loved the feeling of freedom, of flying down the hill as fast as she could. The cold wind bit into her face. She heard one of them coming up behind her and she cut hard to the left, cutting him off. Jesse’s laughter rumbled behind her.
    “Shit,” he called.
    She
