King Sized Beds and Happy Trails (Beds Series) by Becca Ann, Tessa Marie Page A

his coat pocket and gives me one of those, “Dude!” looks as he eyes Lex on the bed.
    “Uh , thought you guys should know the chaperones are doing cabin checks. You might want to hide your stuff.”
    I peek out the door and see lanterns by the boy cabins and a few headed this way.
    “Thanks, man.”
    He nods and I shut the door, racing over to Lexie who’s already helping me get my stuff in my bag.
    “Crap, Ry. We’ve been here one night and your stuff is everywhere.” She pulls out some rolled up socks from under the bed.
    We only get about half my crap in the bag before another knock comes at the door. Like Defcon Five, Lex opens the back window and chucks everything outside. She slams a hand over my mouth as I go to yell at her, grabs my wrist and shoves me toward the window too.
    “Get your butt out of here,” she whispers.
    “It’s freezing, Lex.”
    “Don’t be such a baby. I’m sure it won’t be long.” Her hand pushes my head down to duck it through the open window. She gives me a good shove and I fall on my face for the second time today.
    Man, it’s cold. I dig through the bag to find my coat, but it’s not in here. I hope Lex stashed it or something.
    I hear the door to the cabin open and Misty’s mom’s voice mumbling to Lex. I blow into my hands and rub my arms. This better not take forever.
    “Oof!”
    My neck whips around just as Luke lands in the snow outside the cabin next to me. At least I’m somewhat dressed. He’s in nothing but his boxers. He gives me a head nod , and I shake my head, laughing.
    In the other direction, I catch a glimpse of a few girls outside the boy cabins, huddled altogether in blankets. Kaylee’s back is to me, but I can tell it’s her by the long blond braids on her shoulders.
    A couple more guys are hanging outside their cabins, all hopping around like I am to keep warm. Some of them are like Luke and standing in nothing but their underwear. If we all get away with this, either the chaperones couldn’t care less, or they’re stupid.
    After a few minutes, Luke waves to get my attention. He signals to the girls in the blankets, then points at himself, then… me.
    I shake my head as hard as I can. I don’t care how cold he is, or how cold I am, no way am I snuggling with a dude.
    “Hey!” Something smacks the back of my head , and I turn around to find Lex hanging out the window with a huge grin on her face. “Want to come back inside now?”
    “You know,” I say , rubbing the spot, “for someone who doesn’t like to see me get hurt, you sure cause a lot of my injuries.”
    She goes to punch me in the shoulder, but stops mid air. “Hmm… I’ll give you that one.”
    Picking up my crap, I hand it back to her, and she tosses it over her shoulder. She goes to help me back in, but I laugh and tell her I’ll use the front door.
    The second I step through the threshold, she pulls my arm and drags me to the shower. It’s already turned on, and the steam is billowing out into the room. Oh man, what is she doing? Did she feel something more too? And wants to… ah hell , snap out of it, Ryan . But I can’t help all the embarrassing fantasies playing through my mind. When we get to the bathroom, they all get put on a huge pause as she shoves a towel in my arms and points a finger at me.
    “You stay in there till you’re completely warm again.”
    Then she slams the door.
    I think I like this protective stuff.

Chapter 13
    Lexie
     
    Even closed , his eyes are the sexiest I’ve ever seen. He just looks so peaceful and…and…hot. Seriously, drool worthy hot. Chiseled features that could give any male model a run for their money and gorgeous hair, that when I run my fingers through I can’t help but think, he’s been using my conditioner.
    All these years he’s always just been Ryan , my best friend, and now he’s Ryan my gorgeous best friend. His chest rises and falls, and I rest my head just above his heart. I take comfort in the sound because as
