Publisher's Synopsis
Snow, an abandoned cabin in the woods, your best friend's "little" sister, and a naughty game of truth or dare. What could possibly go wrong? Or should we ask: what could possibly go right? o ScarletThe bad boy I had known all my life was gone; for a second, he looked like a scared little boy. One that took my breath away every time I looked at him, but still, just a scared little thing. His mask shattered to a million pieces, just like that. All it took was a simple dare. Maybe he wasn't that carefree after all. Or maybe he cared too much, I wasn't able to tell. I couldn't help but hope the latter was true though. I had had a major crush on him since high school. And that was ten years ago now. Either way, I was going to find out tonight. That was the only reason I had suggested this stupid game after his truck broke down. We were in the middle of nowhere, and quite conveniently (for me), we had found an abandoned cabin in the woods. What a way to spend the holidays! I let out a sigh, approaching him with a bright smile on my quivering lips. That was all I could do not to burst out laughing."William, you know, a dare is a dare."And it wasn't like I had asked him to jump off a roof, or something. Although, judging by his expression, I could have bet that he assumed his task was no less dangerous. Well, he might have been right about that, but he didn't need to know it. Not yet anyway. He looked down at me, and his amber eyes searched my face for any clues that I might be kidding. Now, that made me forget my previous desire to laugh at him, and I just stood there, my blue eyes captured by his intense gaze. I shivered, wishing that he would kiss me already. What was he waiting for? I dared him to do that, and now he was hesitating. Didn't he want me as much as I wanted him? Was I mistaken all those years? o WillI looked out of the window, contemplating my options. I could rush back outside, jump into my car and drive far, far away from Scarlet. Of course I could have done that. But then she would realize that I lied. Nothing was wrong with the truck, and we weren't lost. But how could I explain my reasons? And yet, running away would have been the sensible thing to do. Run and never look back. I could forget about the way her cute pink lips curled upwards when she smiled, I could even ignore the way her blue eyes tempted me. And those curves! Those were mine to explore, I knew that. So, what was the problem? She had even dared me to kiss her. And yes, there was my other option. To kiss the woman I had wanted ever since I knew what sex was and how to do it. The only problem was that I never got to do it with her. And sure, this time it could end with an innocent kiss. Not that I truly believed that my second option would be only that. I wasn't naïve, and I could feel the heat rise between us, especially when those eyes bore into mine like crystal daggers of passion. A sigh escaped my lips and I bit down on the lower one - hard. Not that the pain helped, on the contrary. It only intensified my longing for her touch. Why was I still resisting?I didn't want to go there. Okay, I did, but I couldn't. Well, if I really thought about it, I could have, but it wouldn't have been the right thing to do. Scarlet was the little sister of my best friend, a friend who was coming to rescue us tomorrow. It might have sounded silly, but to me, it seemed appropriate to ask for my friend's blessing, before... Well, how exactly was I going to tell Tom that I was about to fuck his little sister senseless? True, she might have been twenty-five, but I knew how protective Tom could be. I was surprised he let me carry out my little plan. Of course, I carefully emitted the tiny detail about me wanting to have my way with her. As far as Tom was concerned, this was all about taking care of her and teaching her a lesson.
