matching the panties I had on beneath. Hot pink against my tanned
    skin—a delicious contrast.
    Behind my shut lids, I’d imagined Roger undoing the zipper
    with his teeth, slowly revealing my skin inch by inch, his scruffy five o’clock shadow scraping dangerously against my soft flesh.
    Then he spread open the suit and kissed my breasts, licked my
    nipples until they stood up hard as gumdrops.
    I didn’t stop to worry why the Roger in my fantasy looked so
    much like Jeremiah Cooper, the handsome actor-slash-bartender
    who worked at 5th Avenue, my favorite Santa Monica bar. At
    least, I didn’t worry at first. I simply accepted the fact that tall, green-eyed Jeremiah was serving me a round of pleasure the
    same careful way he served me and my best friend drinks every
    Friday night. His long wheat-blond hair felt silk-soft against
    my thighs. His strong fingers danced over my clit in a way that brought an instant moan to my lips.

    God, he was good.
    Jeremiah had on snow gear of his own, a pair of those sexy
    oatmeal-colored long johns that look delicious on trim, hard
    bodies, and mirrored wraparound shades to show me my own
    reflection. Watching my lips part, my eyes widen, turned me on in my daydream almost as much as the imaginary feel of Jeremiah’s body against mine. But as the tempo speeded up, my
    own fingers working through my satiny bikini panties, I tried to push his face away, replacing Jeremiah’s long blond mane with
    Roger’s short brown curls, transforming Jeremiah’s light green
    eyes into Roger’s dark blue ones, exchanging Jeremiah’s strong
    body with . . .
    No, it wouldn’t hurt to keep Jeremiah’s body for the little
    jill-off session, would it? That didn’t make me too superficial, did it?
    In my dreamworld, I imagined Roger fucking me hard, driv-
    ing into me, the way he had when we’d first gotten together.
    Our first night had been the fabric of dreams, with Roger driv-
    ing me in his rented convertible up to the Hills. We had made
    love outdoors, staring down at the flickering lights of Hol-
    lywood. I hadn’t been introduced his distaste for the weather
    then, had admired his writing, devoured his uncanny comedic
    beats. He’d looked East Coast intellectual, which has always
    been exotic to me, since I’d grown up surrounded by surfer boy
    sloths. But now, he’d taken that look to the extreme—becom-
    ing pale-skinned and hollow-eyed, boycotting the sunlight as
    if he might melt.
    “Sitcom writers don’t have to be pretty,” he liked to say, ap-
    parently striving to prove his point.

    “Neither do weather girls,” I always shot back, then laughed
    because we both knew that wasn’t true.
    My cell phone rang—“Cold as Ice.” I’d programmed the song to
    make Roger happy, to show him we were in the season together.
    Wistfully, I slowed to a gentle roll, then pulled the tiny device from the strap on my skate and looked at the number, hoping
    Roger had shaken off his storm clouds, that he was wooing me
    back for an afternoon romp in the middle of the living room.
    But it was my best friend, Carolyn.
    “Roger still in a funk?” she asked.
    I zigzagged to avoid some tourists—clearly out-of-towners
    because of the unattractive zinc oxide each one sported. “It’s
    sweet that he’s so emotional, right?”
    “If I hear those carols again when I come over—‘Let It Snow.’
    ‘White Christmas.’ ‘Winter Wonderland,’ someone’s going to
    get a jingle bell shoved up his—”
    “I’ve dated worse,” I reminded her, thinking about my re-
    cent string of losers: the high-rolling gambler who’d made a bet with himself that he could fuck my last roommate. He’d won
    the bet and lost me. Or the yoga instructor who could bend
    himself into all sorts of erotic difficult-to-master shapes, but didn’t want to screw me because it would mess with his chi . “He’s simply one of those people who’s affected by the
