“I’ll just have to keep her warm”
“Oh” Jax laughed and rolled his eyes “So, that’s your plan, you just want an excuse to keep her close all day”
“Can you blame me?” I asked, and looked at the bathroom door, as I came out holding several articles of clothing for her, that I left on the bed “I won’t get to touch her for days”
“Hopefully you’ll have Troy at the end of it all, and it’ll be worth it”
“Are you sure you don’t want to go instead”
“Keep dreaming” He smirked, and stood up “You lost fair and square, I’m going to go eat”
After I dressed, I waited for Maddie to come out of the bathroom, with a towel wrapped around her body, and her hair pulled up into a messy bun.
“How is it possible that you even make that look good” I commented.
“I don’t know how reliable of a judge you are” She smirked “You are nearly 100, and men your age have issues with eyesight”
I laughed and grabbed the front of her towel and pulled her in closer “Men my age, have no issues with any of our body parts Maddie, and if you say something like that again, I’ll prove it by throwing you down on this bed, and f*cking you until you pass out”
“Do you have that in you, Alpha?” She asked and ran her hands up my chest “Because you haven’t proven that so far”
“You have no idea how easy we’ve gone on you baby” I warned her “Even during your heat, we didn’t show you what we can do”
“Then prove it now”
I laughed and shook my head “Later” I kissed her, and pulled back “Now, put those clothes on, and pack an extra set of clothing for after”
“After what?” She asked, as she lifted a jumper “Where are you taking me?”
“Just get dressed, and come out for breakfast”
Julia had prepared breakfast for us, and Jax was already nearly finished by the time I entered the kitchen, so I sat down and started filling my plate, digging in while I waited for Maddie, who joined us a few minutes later, wearing thick leggings, woolen boots and a large jumper.
Jax whistled in approval, and she blushed “I feel weird wearing pants” She started fussing with them “I feel too exposed, why am I dressed like this?”
I laughed and put a plate in front of the empty seat beside me “Come eat” I told her “You’ll need the carbs for what I have planned, and the pants are necessary, you can’t wear a skirt or dress, but you can change straight after”
“Okay” She pulled on the pants once more as she sat down.
While we were eating, Jax got a text, and he exhaled “Well, I’d better get to the meeting” He declared, and stood up, he kissed Maddie “Have fun”
“Keep me posted on everything with Blake and Sklyer”
“Us” Maddie frowned between us “Keep both of us updated”
“I love it when she gets demanding” Jax winked and left.
“I mean it!” Maddie shouted after him, and we could hear Jax laughing as he left.
“Julia, you and Molly can clean the bedroom now” I told her, as she placed things in the washing machine.
“Yes sir, and Molly didn’t show up today”
“She was drinking a lot at the wake” Maddie told us “She may have a hang over”
“That’s no excuse to skip work!” Julia said angrily “I’ll give that girl an earful when she shows up”
I pressed my lips together, as Julia gave a huff and left the kitchen. We left soon after that, and the entire time, Maddie kept trying to persuade me to tell her where we were going, but I just smiled and changed the subject every time.
It wasn’t until we pulled up outside the mall that her face fell “No” She complained, and looked up at me with a grumpy expression “I don’t want to go shopping again, I have enough clothes, and why did I have to wear all of this to go shopping!?”
“Firstly” I smiled “You have enough clothing for a few months. After that, we will be shopping again, for an entirely new wardrobe. You are a Queen now, you can’t be seen in the same outfit more than twice, and secondly, that’s not why we’re here”
“Promise?” She said skeptically.
“I promise, now come on”
I took her hand, as we entered the mall, and walked over to the elevators. I distracted Maddie while I pressed the button for the ski resort, and covered her eyes, before we left and walked out into the small lobby area.
I’d closed the mini resort down for the day, so we could have it to ourselves. I didn’t want to share her with anyone today, not even the pack.
I walked her towards the glass wall in the lobby, that overlooked the two small slopes and ski lift, before I left her see.
“Surprise!” I said happily, as she looked through the glass.
“Oh wow!” She said in delight “I’ve wanted to come here since I first came to the city, I’m so excited!”
“I’m glad”
She turned towards me with a huge smile “I’ve never skied though, I don’t know if I can do it”
“I’ll teach you, come on”
I pulled her towards the staff member at the front desk, who was waiting patiently “Good morning Alpha Cody, Luna, it’s nice to meet you”
“You too” She smiled.
“Baby, did it Natsky” I told her “He’s going to fit you for ski’s”
“Okay” Maddie said happily, her face lighting up, and making her even more beautiful than ever.
An hour later, we were all set to go. We walked out into the machine made icy slopes, Maddie shivered, and the smile slightly left her face.
I laughed and gave her a quick hug “You’ll warm up when we begin” I assured her “Now, stand here, and face the other way, the lift will take us up to the top”
Maddie’s eyes widened “We’re going straight to the top?” She asked “But I don’t know how”
“You learn by doing”
Maddie glared at me, and placed her hands on her hips “Like your fight training?” She scolded me “Because I think we’ve established that I don’t learn that way!”
I smiled, and turned to her, so she wouldn’t miss the lift “Relax, you’ll do great, get ready to sit down, the lift is coming”
Maddie looked behind her, and together we sat down on the lift, Maddie giggled nervously, and grabbed my arm as we started going up to the peak.
I loved looking at the joy in her face, as she looked around “Are those real trees or fake ones?” She pointed to the small tree’s we’d planted throughout the slopes to add obstacles.
“Real” I answered “But we’ll take the easy path, we won’t go near them”
