Hey! Hope your all doing great.

Thanks for taking your time to read and review.

I apologize for the confusion about Adam's sister. His sister is Kate, I guess I missed the name Amy when I was editing the story. Sorry about that.

Happy reading! Hope you like it.

Xoxo,

Nina

We were on a mini holiday, that meant no alarm clock, yet if I didn't set mine I would sleep until noon, and I really didn't want to waste the day.

I quickly turned off that annoying beeping sound so that it wouldn't wake Adam up. I put the phone facing down on the nightstand and turned myself around to look at Ruzek. He was facing down, the sheets and blankets reaching up to his waist, leaving the glory of his built back at sight. His arms were folded, hiding his hands under the pillow, that position made his biceps stand out and you could perfectly see the outline of his muscles; I suddenly had an urge to trace each one of them with the tip of my fingers, and I did.

His golden skin was soft to the caress of my hands, I slowly moved closer to him and kissed the back of his neck, carefully moving down his spine. I felt his body shift below me and a subtle moan broke the silence in the room.

"Hmmm. Where do I sign up to wake up like this every morning?" His voice was raspy and full of sleep.

"It's not often I wake up before you," I left one more kiss between his shoulder blades. "So I would really cherish this moment if I were you."

"Oh, I cherish it alright." He rolled over and grabbed me by the hips pulling me closer to his body and burying his head in the crook of my neck. "Good morning." His words were muffled against my skin while one of his hands moved a little lower squiggling his fingers under the side strap of my underwear.

"Ruze…" His name purred right out of my mouth.

"Tell me, baby…" If I thought I sounded like I was in a state of complete lust right now, it was only because I hadn't heard the tone of Adam's voice.

"We have to stop." He shook his head right where it was.

"I don't think we do."

"Yeah, we do. We're supposed to be down for breakfast in 15 minutes." He lifted his head up slowly to look at me.

"Nah. I'm not putting you through that again; besides, if we have breakfast here we can put those fifteen minutes into much better use." I sat up and rested my back against the headboard.

"Adam." He sensed the seriousness in my voice causing him to imitate the position I was in. He ran his hand through this face trying to brush all the sleep off and finally placed it on my thigh.

"What?"

"You came here to be with your family. We're not gonna lock ourselves up in our room because your sister and I are not getting along. I'm not doing that."

"It's true, I came here to be with my family, but with you in mind. I'm not risking Kate being a total bitch again."

"Listen, I really appreciate you doing that. But if anything, you should go and I should stay." He opened his mouth to argue what I had just said, so I made him stop by lightly pressing my index finger against his lips. He just kissed it, making me smile. "Which is not going to happen. So we have breakfast downstairs together. It's not on you or on anyone else that Kate doesn't like me and I know how much you wanna spend time with them."

"It's not that she doesn't like you." My eyes grew bigger as I stared at him.

"Adam, she thinks I'm a whore and a home wrecker. I can't imagine what she would think of me if she didn't like me at all."

"She's just too protective of me and she's acting based on some stupid loyalty to her friendship with Wendy. It's not personal with you. She would have been like that to anyone. Kate is a really nice girl once you get to know her." I knew that behind his anger and the superhero role that he was playing for me, he was truly hurting to know that his sister wasn't happy for him and that she didn't quite 'approve' of me.

"Babe, it's ok. Your sister and I will work ourselves around this." He smiled. "Now I'm gonna get dressed because I'm hungry." I quickly jumped out of bed and tried to find something to wear.

"Hey, you forgot my good morning kiss."

"I know better than to fall for that trap."

"Damn you! Why are you so smart?" I laughed and heard him lazily come out of bed. "Can I just say one thing before we go?" He walked close behind me and hugged me tight, dropping his chin on my left shoulder.

"What thing is that?"

"I know things may not be running as smoothly as I thought they would, but I really appreciate you being here, I'm enjoying every second of it." His confession made my lips curl up and my body sink deeper into his hug. "I love you."

"That works out great, because I'm not going anywhere." I turned my head into his direction and pressed my lips with his.

"Good, that way I can get you into that hot tub tonight."

"Can't wait to show you my new bathing suit." I bunched the clothes I had picked and walked away from his hug and into the bathroom, swinging my hips just enough to get him going.

"Really Burgess? Not fair leaving me like this. Then you say I'm the one who's always flirting." His whining was audible even from the other side of the bathroom door.

"I learned from the best." I shot right at him with a soft giggle.

We managed to make it to breakfast on time, when we got to the buffet only Carol and Bob were not there yet.

"Good morning." Adam's voice sounded chirpy and his hand never unclasped mine.

"More like good night, judging by your voice." Brandon joked, making me blush as him and Jon chuckled. Adam's lips curled up into a smile but he immediately lobbed a paper napkin he found on the table and called him out.

"Shut up, Bran!"

"Yeah, you're just saying that out of jealousy." Jon pitched in with a playful chuckle. Suddenly the family weekend sounded like a high school reunion.

"Cut it out boys!" Mags' calm but firm voice made the guys stop talking. "Good morning, dear." She dedicated a sweet smile to her nephew and extended a hand to me, I went to grab it and felt her fingers squeeze mine. "I'm glad to see you're feeling better."

"I am. Thank you Maggie."

"Please, just call me Mags. Are you ready to go skiing today?"

"I'm not sure I am." I laughed. "But I guess I can always take the easy slopes with Sammy, while the pros do their thing." I said as I looked at the guys. Kate was there too, she looked at me and faintly smiled but that was all I got.

"Yeeiii! We can skii together!" Sam's squeaky little voice echoed through the table. "Can I mommy?"

Yeah, I missed that one coming when I was talking to Mags before.

"Sure, if Kim doesn't mind. You can play with all of us and then you can stay with Kim. I'm pretty sure uncle Adam wants to spend some time with her, too." Well that was a surprise. Kate sounded calm and honest as she answered her son. I could see how Adam was staring heavily at her while she spoke, but she did her best to ignore her brother.

No matter what had happened last night between them two, I really was determined to put everything past me and just have a good time. I mean everything else was great, why would I just focus on the negative?

"I don't mind at all. We can even get that snowball fight going, it'll be fun." Sam's eyes glittered when he heard me, while Adam just looked at me trying to make sure I was really ok with what I was agreeing to.

"Babe, you don't have to" He was going to keep on going but I decided to cut him short.

"It's fine, seriously. You guys would have to pick up my pieces from the high slope anyways. Sam and I can hang out, while you take the big guy's trail. Right Sam?"

"Yes!" The kid was so excited it was almost contagious. "Don't worry uncle Adam, I'll make sure she has fun with me." We all laughed at his comment.

"I know you will, buddy." Ruze said with a smile as he ruffled his nephew's hair.

In all honesty breakfast with the Ruzeks was nice and lots of fun, especially when I got to hear all kinds of stories from when Adam was a kid, apparently the little dude was a handful and for some reason I don't find that surprising at all. Kate and I didn't talk much, but the few interactions we did have were pretty friendly; and although I found it annoying most of the time, it was kind of nice to see Adam hovering around me just to make sure I was ok and comfortable.

Skiing was awesome, I was actually better at it than what I remembered but there was no way in hell I was going to attempt the pro slope. Thank god I had other arrangements with my new wingman Sammy.

Anyway, the real highlight was seeing how happy Adam was, the gigantic grin on his face and his squinting eyes every time he took his goggles off and looked at me, I swear it all made me gooey inside.

"So, who won?" I almost jumped when I heard his voice that caught me completely off guard.

"Who do you think?"

"Well, guessing by that toothless grin that's going on over there," He said as he signaled over to his nephew's face. "I'd say he won."

"He crushed me, literally. I think I have snow in places I never imagined." Both boys laughed. "It's not funny."

"Uncle Adam, it was so fun! Kim told me that I have great aim."

"Did she?"

"Mm-Hmmm. You should take her when you go see my next baseball game so she can see how good I am."

"Ok. We can do that." Sammy cheered and Adam smiled back at him. They had a really nice relationship and by all the chatting I had done with the boy, I could definitely tell that he really looked up to his uncle. I mean, who wouldn't?

"Did you have fun with Kim?" Was she being ironic or was she being genuine? I guess I will never know.

"Mommy!" Sam ran up to Kate and hugged her. "I did. She's really funny. We played a lot." It was like little Sam was sugar high or something, he wouldn't stop talking. "Did you know uncle Adam is one of the best detectives in his job?"

"Is he?"

"Yes, Kim told me, and that he puts the bad guys away so that I can be safe." The smile on his face could reach his ears.

While we were trying to build a snowman and terribly failing at it, Sam had asked me about our job and what we did, so I told him a few kid friendly stories. I never thought it was going to stick to him like that, and to be honest I was a bit embarrassed when I felt Adam's eyes on me and noticed that cute little smirk that he loves to sport and drives me absolutely insane. "When I grow up I want to be a police officer, like pops and uncle Adam."

"I think you need to start doing better at school first." I'm not sure Kate was the number one fan of our profession, but one thing I could say about her is that she really wanted to see her boy happy. "Now, let's go back to our cabin so you can take a shower and get into some clean clothes." She grabbed her son's hand and headed back to their room, Jon was following them. Just as she walked past me, she looked at me and smiled. "Thank you. I can see that he really had a good time." I nodded, I mean… There wasn't much else I could say to that, but it was nice to see that we were both being civil today and trying to get along.

As everyone left to get changed, Adam and I were left alone. He said nothing, he just came closer to me to take a hold of my hand, which was quite a difficult task considering we were both wearing gloves, he smiled and kissed me. It was a perfect, soft and delicate kiss.

Everything else that happened that day was great, I was beginning to feel more included especially by the guys and the older couples and it felt nice. Mags was absolutely the sweetest and so was her husband and even though Bob and I had interacted before, now I felt that we were really bonding. Brandon and Jon were hilarious and it was very entertaining to watch all three of them hang out, it made Sammy look like a grown up.

Things with Kate were alright, at least dinner ran smoothly, no awkward comments, no nasty looks, she even asked me some questions attempting to pretend she cared about my life and what I was up to.

We ended up sharing stories about the CPD to Sammy's request, but it ended up being entertaining for everyone there. I think we were all having a great time.

I went back to our cabin and Adam stayed back with his family for a while, as they were arranging everything for our last day here.

"Darlin' are you here?" His voice echoed through the room, I think the dim lighting and the loud silence was throwing him off.

"Over here." I called from our room.

"Why is it so dark in here?" His voice was getting closer and closer. "Oh." He stopped in his tracks, his mouth opened and his hand raised to his chest.

"I was just…" I paused for a moment. "Setting the mood." The only light was coming from our balcony, the cutest little lights were arranged there. I had turned on the hot tub and I was wearing my bathing suit, which he hadn't seen yet because I was covering myself with the bathrobe. There were two armchairs matching a little wooden table next to the tub where I left two glasses and a bottle of champagne.

"And what exactly did I do to deserve this?" He walked close enough to me to put his hands on my hips.

"Nothing in particular, I figured our last night here should be memorable. Plus I really really want to use that hot tub." I said as I glanced towards the bubbling tub.

"So, this has nothing to do with what day today is?"

"Why would this be related to today being Saturday?"

"I mean the date." I looked up trying to figure out what he was talking about. "Hold on a sec." He left the room and quickly came back with both his hands behind his back. "Ok, so maybe this is corny and cheesy, but." He paused to look me straight in the eye. "Bran sent me this today, and I liked the idea of having a little something from our first trip together." He handed me a little picture frame with a candid photo of us. I remember exactly that moment, I was laughing at one of his stupid jokes and he was pressing a kiss on my cheek. I loved it.

"Awww. This is so sweet. When did you frame this?"

"What do you think I was really doing right now?"

"You are adorable." I closed the space between us and kissed him softly.

"But that's not the only thing I wanted to give you." He took his other hand from behind his back, holding a beautiful white rose.

"What's this for?"

"Well, since you have no clue Darlin' today it's been three months since we've started dating; although we never really had our official date yet." I smiled at the nervousness coming out of his mouth and the sweetness and tenderness in his eyes.

I took the rose from his hands and wrapped my arms around his neck, while I was biting my lower lip.

"You have been keeping count all this time?" He nodded and said nothing else. "Why didn't you ever tell me? I'm the worst."

"It was really fun to drop hints and watch you being completely oblivious." He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "And you're far from being the worst. You are the best thing that has happened to me." I could feel my cheeks hurting from the massive grin on my face.

"I love you so much." I reached closer to his face only to devour his lips with mine, feeling his tongue frantically dance with mine was just as exciting as the first time we discovered each other. I pressed my forehead against his and slowly detached my lips from his mouth to catch some air. "What don't you get changed and we can put the champagne and the hot tub into good use?" My voice was soft and flirty as my hands undid the knot keeping the bathrobe in place. I felt it slide down my shoulders revealing the little black bikini I was wearing that accentuated my curves and perfectly contrasted with my pale skin due to the lack of sunlight my body was receiving.

Adam's eyes were roaming all over me, I saw his eyes sparkle almost immediately. He lifted his hand over his head and pulled on the collar of his sweater taking off his shirt along with it in one swift move. God, I love it when he does that.

His hands raced down to his pants to unbutton them, but it was me who yanked them down as low as I could. I rested my hand on his hips for a second and slowly moved them behind him to reach his bum over his boxers, he definitely had the best ass I've seen.

"I'm ready." He murmured into my ear before catching my earlobe between his teeth and slowly pulling it. He stepped closer to me leaving no space between our bodies, the contact of his skin against mine gave me goosebumps, I know he noticed. He moved a little bit closer, now he wanted me to notice just how ready he was. I did the only thing I could do; gasp in anticipation of what was going to happen. "Are you?"

I nodded in response and seductively walked away from his embrace climbing into the tub. I sat and the water covered me up to the collarbone, my eyes were locked on his as I began to pull on the straps of the top piece of my bikini and when it was finally off I tossed it in his direction. He looked at it on the floor and then back at me, his devious smirk told me everything he wanted to do right now and there was no way in hell I was preventing any of it. He took off his boxers and joined me in the tub completely naked.

He sat next to me and pulled me towards him with one hand firmly grabbing my neck and his mouth ferociously attacking mine. I wanted to make him wait, I wanted to linger on that kiss just so he would desire me even more, but I couldn't do it, I needed more of him.

My hands found their place on his strong toned shoulders as I straddled him. The hand that was on my neck slowly moved down rubbing my back in the most delicate way possible, his fingertips tingled against my skin sending all kinds of shivers down my spine. Those shivers became lightning bolts when I felt both his hands cupping and massaging my breasts. Dear lord, this man was going to be the death of me. I couldn't help it, my body involuntarily started grinding my hips against him, feeling him and making me want it even more than before. Yeah, apparently that was possible.

His lips were now in my neck and one of his hands went down sliding my bikini to the side.

Mind blowing.

That's all I'm going to say.
