Winter Wonderland

[Countess DeWinter]

Lori

We stopped at my room for a minute to get a jacket. I shrugged into it and we headed out.
The day was crisp, but sunny and beautiful. Vic showed me around the grounds of the inn. We ended up at the outlook over the valley where the view took my breath away. We stood silently for a minute, enjoying the view. I shivered a little in the cold, and he put his arm around my shoulder.
"Why don't we head back?" he suggested.
"Okay," I replied. "Will you light that fire in my room like you promised?" I looked up at him with a little seductive gleam in my eye.

Usually I take summer vacations but this time, after reading the ad in the magazine, I thought how nice a few days at a winter lodge would be, with a crackling fire, a heated pool, hot tub, and all those ski bunnies running around in their tight little pants.

The reservation made, I arrived in my Mercedes and checked into a very nice room with a balcony overlooking the pool and the ski slopes. The steam was rising from the hot water from the hot spring, with a slight smell of sulphur in the air. Quickly I shed my clothes, donned my bathing suit and a robe, and I went down to join the splashes and giggles. When there I ordered a hot spiced cider that sounded just right for the moment. I slipped into the hot tub with a pretty blonde girl, who introduced herself as Willow. What a pretty name for such a pretty girl, I thought as I told her I was Tony from New York. I ordered a hot spiced cider for her, as well, as it was a litle early to start on hard stuff especially while sitting in hot water.

We moved to the bar for drinks. She asked me " have you been with the lodge long?" I answer " I am old friend of the family." She replies " I noticed the ski lift from my room, this will be the first year I didn't spend the holidays in Aspen with my family. I'm really looking forward to getting out on the slopes."
I smiled at her and replied " I look forward to skiing with an expert. But, I keep you from your singing. Now, I must check with Miss Bianca to see who needs lessons. I regret I must leave, until we both have time to be together, Au Revoir."
I return to the front desk and inquire about anyone signing up for lessons.

Willow: After a long hot bath & a qiuck nap, I tried to decide what to do. I hadn't had a vacation in ages, what did people do to relax? I finally opted for a soak in the hot tub. I slipped into a bikini & robe & went out to the hot tub. I had it to myself for a while, just relaxed & let the tension from the past weeks drain. A few more people arrived, but I just sat quietly. I was about to go back to my room when a handsome man joined us. He introduced himself as Tony & said he was from New York. I told him my name & he ordered me a hot cider. I decided to stay a bit longer, my friends would be proud of me for not hiding out in my room. As we sat in the tub, talking, I told him I was from Dallas, an interior designer & that this was my first vacation in years. He asked if I skied & I said no, I would probably spend my time hiking & reading by the fireplace. I felt the rest of the tension leaving my body as we talked. It had been ages since I had sat with an attractive man. After the divorce, I had buried myself in work. Deciding I didn't want to look like a prune, I excused myself to go to my room to dress for dinner.

After finishing the cider I jumped in the pool, which was almost as warm from the hot spring water, and swam a couple of laps. When I returned to the room, I quickly called Willow on the house phone to ask her to join me at dinner.

As I showered and cleaned up readying myself I thought what a nice little package she was and how nice that little rear end looked in that skimpy bikini as she scurried away from the hot tub a few minutes ago.

Vic:


Ms.Allyn said she was getting cold, so I put my arm around her to add some warmth and suggested we return to the Inn. It felt very natural to have my arm around her. I sensed that I was attracted to her. She is very pretty and intelligent besides having a body that looked fit and trim.

Walking in the front door we passed the flower truck which arrived every late afternoon. The Inn ordered fresh flowers every day to be put on all of the dinner tables. I stopped and secured a group of roses, carnations and iris to give to Ms.Allyn.

Once inside MsHunter approached and asked me to organize an ice skating party around a bonfire for latter that night. I thought it was a great idea and told her that after dinner I would make the announcement.

Returning to Ms.Allyn's room she asked me to light a fire for her while she showered and prepared for dinner. I obliged while she retreated to the large bathroom. The fire began to warm the room nicely and I decided to ask her to dinner. I knocked on the bathroom door and asked "Ms.Allyn, would you like some company for dinner? I would be pleased to accompany you if you don't have other plans." My heart began to work a little faster as I waited for the answer.

OOC: Lori went off with Vic before she told me when she'd like skiing lessons, so I'm going to sign her up for tomorrow, ok?

IC: I sat at the desk going over the scedule of events, I loved this kind of thing, but I was definately going to have to hire some kind of back up, mom and dad always had each other and me to make sure everything was running smoothly. I thought it would be a little foolish to try doing everything by myself. Before I had any more time to think about it, Jacque walked up.

"Bon Jour, cherie." I caught myself blushing, how could Jacque have such an effect on me after all these years?

"Bon Jour," I smiled sweetly. "And what can I do for you this afternoon sir?" I giggled, I had slipped into the hostess role quite nicely. He smiled back at me.

"I just came to see about anyone needing lessons," he replied. I reached over to the computer and clicked to the sceduled lessons. Mom and dad had been agaist the computer at first, but now they loved it, it made everything so much easier to keep track of.

"Well, it looks as if you've got the rest of the night off, nothing until tomorrow morning."

Willow: While trying to decide what to wear to dinner, my phone rang,I couldn't imagine who would be calling me. I picked up & heard Tony's voice inviting me to dinner. I hesitated for a moment, but decided it was my vacation & I deserved a night out."Thank you so much, dinner sounds lovely". Now, to decide what to wear. I had bought a new wardrobe for this trip-no business suits this time. I dressed carefully in a burgundy silk teddy with matching g-string, I never wear things like this, but it felt so good against my skin. A burgundy velvet skirt with matching sweater, cut to show just enough cleavage to arouse interest. Black leather boots & a light shawl finished my outfit. I put my hair up into a french twist, simple, but elegant. I was surprised at how much I was looking forward to dinner, maybe it was time to move on with my life. I picked up my evening bag & went down to the lobby to meet Tony.

 

[mr spikey]

Jacque

I return to the front desk and say " Bon Jour, cherie." She blushed slightly at my greeting. She smiled and replied " Bon Jour. And what can I do for you this afternoon sir? " giggling as she ended her question. I smiled back at her and said " I just came to see about anyone needing lessons."
She turned to her computer and checked to see if there were any lessons scheduled. She looked up and said " Well, it looks as if you've got the rest of the night off, nothing until tomorrow morning." I replied " Well, a night off and no one to spend it with. Thank you, cherie. Until tomorrow morning then. I will go and have dinner. Anything I can do for you, cherie? And please no more 'sir', we are good friends, no need to be so formal."

 

[Countess DeWinter]

Lori

"I'd love to have dinner with you," I said to Vic.
"Great," he said. "I'll come for you at 8 and we'll go down to the dining room."

I spent a couple of hours writing postcards to friends and family, then started getting ready for dinner with the handsome Vic. It took me a while to find the perfect outfit. I finally settled on a sweater dress Ronda had picked out.
I fixed my hair with a little glittery gel so it would sparkle when the light hit it and used some body shimmer on my shoulders and chest. I spent a little more time on my makeup than I usually do. I wanted to try some of the techniques the woman at the makeup counter had suggested. I had to wash it off once and start over, but the final result was wonderful, if I did say so myself. My eyes were smokey grey with a little grey frost to add some sparkle. Plum blush on my cheeks and classic red lipstick completed the effect.
I slid some dark stockings on my legs, securing them with a black lace garterbelt that matched my panties and bra - all three were flimsy and see-through. My dress was the softest cashmere I'd ever seen. It was form-fitting without being tight. The blue color enhanced my eyes, making them look even bluer. Thin ribbon straps held the bodice in place and the whole thing was topped by a matching pashmina shawl. I put my heels beside the door for the last minute. I mean, not many women will walk around in high heels when they're alone!

Right at 8, there was a knock at my door...

Bianca

"Well, a night off and no one to spend it with," Jacque smiled at me. "Thank you, cherie. Until tomorrow morning then. I will go and have dinner." He turned to go, then looked back at me. "Anything I can do for you, cherie?" He asked, before I could reply he said, "And please no more 'sir', we are good friends, no need to be so formal." He turned again, but before he could leave, I stopped him.

"Actually Jacque, there is something you could do for me," he raised an eyebrow in question, I continued, "since we are such good friends, I was wondering if perhaps you'd like to escort me to dinner." I smiled, awaiting his response.

 

[mr spikey]

Jacque

I turned to leave, but Binaca said " Actually Jacque, there is something you can do for me." I looked at her inquiringly and she continued " since we are such good friends, I was wondering if perhaps you'd like to escort me to dinner." She looked at me and smiled.
I smiled back at her and said " I would be honored to escort you to dinner, mon cherie. When would you like to go to dinner? " There was a gleam in her dark green eyes. I could only guess at the meaning. I looked at my watch and said " Would 30 minutes from now be satisfactory, mon cherie?"

Finally the dot.com business is settled down - at least for the weekend. Whipping the car into a vacant spot, I grab my bag - leaving the skis and boots for a bellman and trot up the steps to the lodge.

 

[catlover]

Tony

In my standard gray slacks and navy blue blazerI went down to meet Willow. In the lobby there by the fireplace was a TV with a football game on. Wanting to catch who was playing and the score I caught a glipse, but my eyes were captured by the lovely girl in burgundy as she approached with a smile on her face. How proud I was to walk into the dining room with her on my arm. Her long blonde hair down to her waist was spectacular in contrast with the color of her clothes, and all eyes turned to watch as we were seated. How different she looked from the pretty girl in the hot tub I saw through the steam, with her hair up in braids and wearing that kelly green bikini. I'd never be able to choose between them, I was captivated by both. Fortunately they were the same girl!

We looked at the menu and made our choices. We both ordered veal - hers parmagiana and mine marsala. With a nice dry merlot recommended by the sommelier, we had a delightful dinner, even trading little morsels of each other's entre' to get a taste. What I really wanted was a taste of that tender morsel sitting next to me!

Soon the trio started to play and we danced. Light as a feather, she was a treat in my arms and how glad I was to have an excuse to hold her and give her a little squeeze when the music stopped. We returned to the table and I inquired "would you like some dessert?"

 

[goddess_euphoria]

Bianca

Jacque agreed to dinner, much to my delight. He looked at his watch. "Would 30 minutes from now be satisfactory, mon cherie?"

"Yes, that should be enough time," I say, smiling sweetly at him. Just then another guest came in. "I'll meet you back here then." I say, turning to our newest guest. I check Thor in, turning him over to one of the bell boys. I then call Cindy to watch the front desk for the rest of the night.

I walk through the door marked 'Staff Only' and walk to the end of the hallway. A door there lead out side to the pool and trails, one of which leads to my parents private cabin. I took the trail, making a mental note to make sure the grounds keepers kept all the trails well maintained. I let myself in the door of the two story log cabin, it was really a smaller version of the lodge set back from all the noise and commotion.

I hurried up the stairs to my room, pulling my long wavy hair out of the bun it had been in all day. I got to my room and took off the pants suit I'd been wearing all day, tossing it to the side. I stand in front of my closet in my black lacy bra and thong, trying to figure out what to wear. I couldn’t believe I was getting so nervous over having dinner with Jacque. It shouldn’t be a big deal, right? I mean I’d eaten dinner with him and my parents a hundred times. But I hadn’t felt this nervous about being around him since I was what? Fourteen?

Of course then it had been silly to have a crush on him, I wouldn’t have known what to do with him. But now, I was older, and I’d definitely know what to do with him if... I shook my head, what was I thinking? I wondered in Jacque even saw me in that way, or did he just think of me as his friend’s daughter? Either way, I found myself reaching for the short, spaghetti strap black velvet dress instead of my usual long skirt and sweater.

I left my hair down, just pinning it back with a couple of barrettes, and touched up my make-up. I added a pair of small diamond earrings and a matching necklace. I looked at my self in the mirror, not bad for short notice, I thought. I grabbed a pair of strappy heels out of the closet and walked down stairs, where I slipped on a pair of boots and my long leather jacket for the walk back.

I used my key to get in the back door, where I hung up my jacket and slipped out of the boots and into the heels. I made sure to grab my pager out of my jacket pocket, then walked down the hall to the door leading into the lobby. I paused there momentarily to collect myself, wondering if Jacque would all ready be there, then pushed the door open.

 

[mr spikey]

Jacque

She replied " Yes, that should be enough time." Just then a new guest arrived and smiling at me she said " I'll meet you back here then." I nodded yes and let her see to the new guest. I went back to my room. Her request to have me escort her for dinner was not out of the ordinary, but something was different this time. I have had dinner with her many times, but the tone of her voice was different. I looked in the mirror and thought ' What am I doing? Trying to flirt with an old friend's daughter. Hell, I am old enough to be her father.' Dinner was not considered a formal affair, but I decided to change into a suit. I pulled out a solid black one. I quickly changed and went back to the front desk to wait for Bianca.
The door opened and there she was. Wow! She had let her hair down and was wearing a black velvet dress with heels. She had a diamond necklace with matching earrings.
She immediately noticed the look on my face, I was in shock. How could this beautiful woman, be the young daughter of my good friend? I admired her from head to toe and said " Ooh,la la, mon cherie. All of the male guests will be consumed with desire for you tonight." I thought, I only hope that I will be able to contain myself. I offered her my arm, and lead her into the dinning room. As we entered, the room become quiet for a moment, as everybody stopped talking to see who she was. I lead her to a corner table. I held the chair out for her and then sat next to her. The room returned to the normal level of talking voices and clinking glasses. I looked at her and said " Well, mon cherie. What do you desire for dinner this evening?"

 

[goddess_euphoria]

Bianca

I walked into the lobby and spotted Jacque, and instantly noticed that stunned, 'oh-my-god-she's-a-goddess-and-she's-looking-straight-at-me' look. I smiled brilliantly.

"Ooh,la la, mon cherie," he said, looking me up and down. "All of the male guests will be consumed with desire for you tonight." I blushed and giggled a little at the compliment, I never could accept them too gracefully, and the fact that I was nervous as hell didn't help matters. I took his arm and followed him into the dinning room.

Everything went quiet, and a few heads turned, I almost turned to see if someone else had walked in behind us, then things were back to normal. He pulled out a chair for me at a corner table and we sat down.

"Well, mon cherie," he said. "What do you desire for dinner this evening?" I smiled and thought, besides you? And all most laughed out loud at my quick unconscious reply. I found myself wanting a menu to hide behind, but that would look pretty silly, since I knew the entire thing by heart. I thought for a moment longer.

"Well, it's been a long but successful day, and it's been a while since I've really treated myself, so I'm voting Dom Perignon, and I'll leave the meal choice up to you." I smiled, "I've never let a man order for me before, but I think you know well enough what I like." He smiled back at me, and it took everything I had to keep from reaching over and placing my hand on his thigh the way I always did when I was attracted to a man.

 

[TonyG]

Vic


Ms.Allyn ageed to my dinner invitation and I told her I would return at 8. I have had dinner with many guests over the years but I felt a certain inner tingle thinking of dining with her. Somehow, she was different, and my mind was reeling with anticipation.

I stopped by my desk in the lobby to see if anyone needed help. There was a note left on my desk asking for details of the evening's entertainment. However, it was not signed so I went to the front desk to inquire. I found that Cindy was filling in for Bianca and she did not see who left the note. "Perhaps, it was from Mrs.Jamison" she said.

One more item to do then I could get ready for dinner. I had to make a sign announcing that evening's ice skating party. It would be from 10 until midnight. There would also be a bonfire. Just as I finished Amber walked by as she left the bar. I inquired if she had everything she needed for that evening. "Hi! Are you all set for singing? I'm told you have a very good voice." "Will you be singing both jazz and blues?"

While she answered Thor walked into the lobby and I introduced myself and Amber. I then excused myself and headed to my room to prepare for dinner. My mind turned once again to Ms.Allyn. She really is attractive and friendly. Her eyes are such a deep blue that I could easily get lost in dreams looking at them. I knew that I would like to learn more about her. But, she is 15 years or so younger than me. Would that matter to her? I wondered what she thought of me.

[Countess DeWinter]

Lori

While I waited for Vic, I sipped a vodka and tonic from my room's minibar. I was getting nervous thinking about him. He was a little older than me, but that just made him more exciting in my eyes. I'd always found myself attracted to older men. There was just something about the way they acted, the way they moved, the way they loved that was impossible to resist.
I closed my eyes and swirled the clear liquid around my mouth thinking about Vic. There is a certain place on a man - the area from his nose to his nipples - that draws me. And my eyes had strayed there all afternoon while Vic and I were walking. I found myself getting wet at the thought of maybe dancing and being able to run my hands all over his chest and shoulders.

I glanced at my watch and was excited to see it was only a couple of minutes before eight. Vic should be here any minute...the thought made my heart beat a little faster.

 

[Inkubus]

SEAN

Sean thanked the delivery driver who dropped him off near the lodge. As he stepped off the truck he looked at the beauty around him. He picked up his gear (not much actually just soome clothes and a beat up 'but well loved' acoustic plug in guitar)his heart jumped into his throat as he realized that a place like this proabably payed well and wouldnt want a wannbe singer knocking at the door. He wondered if he should play it cool and just register or come out and ask if they were hiring. It had been at least a month since his last gig and money was getting tight..so tight in fact that if they offred him a job waiting tables hed proably take it..at least it would give him a chance to write music again. Sean had been so absorbed in his thoughts next thing he knew he was in the lobby and a decsion had to be made...

 

[teresafannin]

Willow: Dinner was lovely, the food & wine were perfect. I made a mental note to compliment the young lady who ran the Inn. The music was excellent & Tony was a fantastic dancer. It felt so right to have his arms around me as we danced. It had been so long since a man had held me in his arms, I was a bit nervous. I reminded myself that I was a free woman & it was my vacation. As the music ended, Tony asked if I was interested in dessert. I was getting very interested in Tony, but I smiled and said that something simple & chocolate would be lovely.

 

[catlover]

Tony

I had to laugh when she mentioned chocolate- it wasn't at all what I had in mind for dessert, but we returned to the table and I signalled the waiter.

We ordered cheesecake for me (it wasn't whatI had in mind for cheesecake either) and a chocolate sundae for her. The music continued and I wanted another dance so we went back to the floor for another whirl. I was having fun, and she acted as though she was too. I asked if she would like to go for a little stroll in the snow, or maybe a quick swim in the heated pool, but either would take us away from the nice warm feeling of holding her close on the dance floor. There was an announcement for an ice skating party, but that wasn't my cup of tea either, so I wanted to give her the chance to make her choice.

 

[TonyG]

Vic:


I showered quickly and begun dressing for dinner. Should I go with a traditional tailored or sporty look? I decided on something in-between, picking out my new Armani brown leather sport coat with Berberi wool-blend checkered pants. A small collared shirt with no tie, leaving the top button undone to expose a little skin. It is supposedly the latest style in dining apparel. Black bikini briefs, no boxers to crunch up as my dress pants hugged my ass nicely and I hoped Ms.Allyn would notice. I splashed on some Polo after-shave and left for her room.

Knocking on her door, I envisioned being greated my someone pretty. However, as I entered I saw a most alluring young woman. She was more stunning than I could have imagined. Her eyes and shoulders sparkled against the fireplace light. Her lips, so red and luscious making me want to kiss them now. Her cashmere dress made her look like a vision from a fashion runway, hugging her body gently yet provocatively.

"You look absolutely gorgeous this evening Ms.Allyn. It is my honor to escort you to dinner" I said as I kissed her one hand gently and placed a red rose in the other.

She walked to the door to retrieve her heels allowing me an extended view of her legs. They were dark and shapely and I found my eyes trying to follow them up under her dress. It was hard not to comment on them. "Ms.Allyn, would you mind if I called you Lori?" I asked as my eyes traced her from head to foot.

Just before leaving her room I inquired about the fireplace; "Would you prefer to keep the fire going for later or would you like me to put it out now" I asked hoping for the former.

 

[Countess DeWinter]

Lori

OOC: put on Polo, and I'm putty in your hands!!

"Yes," I blushed lightly. "Please call me Lori. Ms. Allyn is my mother!" I laughed slightly and smelled the rose he gave me while I surrepitiously checked him out. I was going to enjoy the smell of his leather jacket tonight. Nothing is quite as arousing as the scent of leather, unless it was his after shave. Just being next to Vic was a delight to my senses.

"Would you prefer to keep the fire going for later or would you like me to put it out now," he asked, turning and gesturing toward the low fire burning in the fireplace, giving me a glimpse of his ass. I didn't usually stare so blatantly, but damn! The thoughts that ran through my head made me blush.

I let my eyes lock with his for a moment, deciding. "Please," I said when I found my voice, "leave it burning. I might want the...warmth...later." A throb leaped between my legs when his eyes met mine, then dipped down to my lips.

 

[mr spikey]

Jacque

She giggled at my question, somewhat nervously. She looked at me and suggested " Well, it's been a long but successful day, and it's been a while since I've really treated myself, so I'm voting for Dom Perignon and I'll leave the meal choice up to you." She smiled " I've never let a man order for me before, but I think you know well enough what I like."
I smiled back at her and said " Very well, mon cherie. Since we are treating ourselves, perhaps steak and lobster followed by desert." I thought she would be perfect for desert.
The waiter brought the champagne and opened it. I poured a glass for each of us and toasted " To a successful season, and that all your desires come true." We clinked glasses and drank. I grasped her hand and kissed it " Mon cherie, you have become quite a lady. I know you will be very successful with the ski lodge." I let my hand linger clasped to hers a bit longer than normal. I knew it had been a little too obvious. I looked deeply into her dark green eyes and waited for dinner to arrive.
