A/N Has anyone managed to get snow for the New Year's? I love it when that happens! I'm hoping for some snow day's this year, it's my last proper year at secondary school and I've got exams coming up, so some days off would really cheer me up. I'm currently attempting revision, so the next few chapters might be a bit delayed…but reviews and favourites would help! ;)

Julia had visited her daughter's apartment to wish her a Merry Christmas before she was greeted with the news that Kensi and Deeks were officially together. She had gushed over the couple for a fair few minutes, glad that her only daughter had found someone that loved her. Ever since Kensi's father had died, Julia had recognised an emptiness inside her daughter but now that she had Deeks her eyes shone with the happiness she once had as a child. Ever since the day that Deeks had come to her door, informing her that her daughter was alive, healthy, and a government agent of all things she had seen a connection between the two partners, the way they spoke about each other showed her that her daughter was no longer alone.

Kensi's mother had stayed for an unexpected lunch, although she and Deeks welcomed the company, all they really wanted to do was continue the activities of the morning. They sneaked a few light touches under the table without Julia noticing, or so they hoped. After a satisfying lunch of takeout Thai food (due to the scarcity of actual edible food in Kensi's cupboard), Julia decided to head home. She wished the couple a happy holiday on their trip to Lake Tahoe and made her way back home.

As Julia closed the front door, the first thing Kensi did was run up to Deeks and she kissed him. She was hoping to resume their hot and steamy events, but Deeks had different ideas. However much he really wanted to see Kensi's wondrous breasts, and possibly even more, they had things to do. Julia had ruined their timetable, and Deeks still had to pack his suitcase before they headed up to the slopes that evening.

"Sorry Kensi, you're really turning me on with your abundance of…" he pointed to her chest and raised his eyebrows. "But we have to head back to my place and pack, we've only got a few hours of daylight left and I want to drive up to the slopes before darkness"

Kensi groaned and made another attempt at changing Deeks' mood. She sneaked her hand down to the bulge in his pants that had now become increasingly obvious. He gasped as he became aware of her advances, but he restrained himself from ripping her clothe off right there but they needed to get going. He grabbed her wrist and removed her hand from his jeans.

"Stop Kensi. Otherwise I won't be able to restrain myself and we'll never get to the cabin at this rate." He said with a smirk on his face.

Kensi laughed, but realised that Deeks was right and her advances had only made a small impact on him.

"Okay then, let's go and to your apartment, pack your suitcase, head for the slopes and perhaps when we snuggle up tonight we can continue…this." She said before she turned around and brushed her thigh against his arousal.

He cursed as he finally regretted the decision not to allow Kensi to seduce him. He followed her into her bedroom where she zipped up her suitcase, picked up her purse, bag and keys. They then headed out to Deeks' car, which was outside her apartment after they had taken their separate vehicles back from Nell's house.

As they made there way through the centre of town to Deeks' apartment, he mentioned having to take a trip to the drugstore. He told Kensi he had to pick up some bottles of water and snacks for their endeavours on the slopes.

Kensi stopped outside a large drugstore just down the road from Deeks' apartment and he hopped out of the car, letting his girlfriend know he'd only be a few minutes. He made his way into the drugstore, but instead of heading for the snack aisle he made his way to the 'personal products' aisle. The only product he picked out was a box of condoms, which had been his only desire in the store. Before he headed to the checkout he filled his basket with some bottles of water and bags of sweets to hide his secret purchase from Kensi. It was obvious that their relationship could progress to sex in the next few days, but he didn't want to seem over presumptuous.

He paid for the items, trying to avoid eye contact with the cashier as he passed the box of condoms along. He then headed back to the car, trying not to seem suspicious and he placed the bag on the back seat to stop Kensi from grabbing it and peeking inside.

They made their way back to Deeks apartment, the short journey filled with stories from previous ski trips. The two of them were beginning to get excited for their vacation, it had been a while since either of them had been on a proper vacation, and spending a week together on the slopes was the perfect getaway for the couple.

Back at Deeks' apartment, they began to pack his suitcase. Kensi didn't really help, instead she packed a bag simply for food for their trip. Deeks included his new ski jacket and salopettes which he had purchased just for the trip, and he sneaked the box of condoms into the side of his suitcase.

After loading the suitcases into Deeks' car and taking Monty to his neighbour's house for the week, the couple started their journey up to the wide slopes of Lake Tahoe. It had been a while since either of them had been skiing or snowboarding, but they were often quick to pick up forgotten skills so they weren't worried about failing. Large amounts of snow had been forecast for the week, so Kensi and Deeks were expecting an amazing few days, especially with their plans to head off-piste to explore the forests that lined the ski resorts. As they made their way up the mountain, smiles on their faces, they imagined what the next seven days would bring.
