“Even better,” I told her. “You’re earned yourself an orgasm.”
Her eyes gleamed. “How—do I need to get out of the tub, or will you—”
I silenced her by grabbing her and backing her up against the side of the hot tub. Right where one of the jets was.
She was confused as I manhandled her, arranging her position and moving her into just the right spot.
But then her eyes widened and she gasped, and I knew that the strong stream of was hitting her clit.
“Kai—oh my god—”
I held her there, my hands on her hips, keeping her in position. The jet did all the work, pulsing against her. Her gasps became moans, then shrieks. She came fast, her head drooping, her body shaking in my arms. I knew it wasn’t all from the water. She’d clearly been turned on my what she did to me. And I fucking loved that.
Finally, I eased her away from the jet, gathering her up in my arms. I held her until she finally stopped trembling.
“That was…” She couldn’t seem to finish the sentence.
“Yeah, it was.”
We stayed in the water for a while longer, just holding each other while the heat of the tub seeped into our muscles and relaxed us. But my mind was spinning.
In just this short while, Zoe had transformed. From a woman who only thought about work into a goddess intent on giving and receiving pleasure.
She was so fucking beautiful. That had been clear from day one. But the more I learned about her, the more I liked her.
But in less than two weeks, we’d be back in Colorado while she’d be back at school. These lessons, our friendship, our time together—they came with an expiration date. We’d known that from the beginning. This was just for her internship, just for the break, just for fun.
My life was in Colorado, and I loved it. But it didn’t sit well to picture her walking the halls of her snooty school, with all those rich pricks watching her. Wanting her. And tempting her. But really, who could blame them?
“What are you thinking about?” she asked, her voice soft against my chest.
“You,” I said honestly. “You’re so fucking beautiful. You’re amazing, and I hope you never forget that.”
Because I sure as fuck wasn’t ever going to forget her.

ZOE
The high I felt after doing such deliciously naughty things with Kai only lasted a day before reality descended. I was here to learn about running a resort, not how to please a man—or get pleased by one in return. Learning about sex would not lead to a good job, at least not a legal one. Still, the worse the internship went, the more fun it was to think about what Kai and Asher had planned next. And Landon, if he was still willing to get hands on in his position as the advisor.
I didn’t have the guts to ask him when I ran into him at the hideaway that evening, but I was glad to see him. Technically, I was supposed to be working until ten, but the front desk said they didn’t need me tonight, and Mrs. Greer never had anything productive for me to do.
“Hey,” Landon said. “Want a beer?” He already had one.
“No thanks. What are you up to?”
Landon pointed his chin toward the seating area. “I was going to sit over there and talk to my most attractive roommate.”
I grinned. “Funny, I was just about to do the same thing.”
Landon laughed as he padded past me. “That would be flattering except that I happen to know you have another roommate who looks just as good as I do.”
“Exactly as good.”
We sat on the sofa, shoulder to shoulder, and Landon spread a blanket over us. He always did that—maybe after he retired from the ski patrol, he could become a blanket attendant at a luxury resort like this one. But it was nice, being with someone so thoughtful.
Landon sipped his beer while I told him the story of Kai confronting Mr. Hartley, which he’d only heard a little about. I’d been in shock when it had happened, but now I could see the humor of it.
Landon shook his head, chuckling. “I’ve seen my brother hit on a lot of people, but never a horny old man.” Landon chuckled. “I’m actually surprised he didn’t swing first, ask questions later.”
“Me too, to be honest. But it still attracted a lot of attention. Everyone in the lobby saw it, and I know they reported it to Mrs. Greer.”
“So?” Landon took a big swig of his beer while I gaped up at him, shocked that he’d said that.
“This internship is very important to me, and now she’ll think I’m extra disruptive or something and never give me a good report.”
“But was she going to before?” Landon asked gently.
“No,” I said glumly, because he had a point. “But Kai still shouldn’t have made a scene.”
