A/N: Glad to hear everyone still is into this story and that you liked the last chapter. Not sure how long or what this chapter will be about exactly but I hope you like it. I've been busy with school and then I usually don't feel like writing during my downtime but nevertheless here is a brand new chapter, review and be sure to tell me what you think!
Everything for once was going perfectly well for the group. Members of the Hale/McCall pack had rented a cabin for a few days over the winter break to try to strengthen morale and celebrate the victory over another evil entity that had plagued Beacon Hills. They had decided on this cabin because there was a ski resort just down the road with snowboarding, skiing, and snow tubing for the less athletic members of the group. It was mid-morning and everyone was crowded in the kitchen trying to decide what the day's adventure was going to be.
"So skiing it is then." Scott finally said definitively, warranting a few groans from some of the other pack members because they had already gone skiing a few times on the trip.
"Sounds like fun but I'm going to be staying in today then. My ankle is still sore from snowboarding yesterday." Lydia told the group as she took a bite of her fruit bowl at her place on one of the kitchen's several barstools.
"Awww come on Lydia does it really hurt bad enough to miss out on a whole day of skiing?" Allison asked, not necessarily because she wanted Lydia around, mostly because she didn't want to be the only other female other than Kira on the outing. Obviously she didn't say that aloud but Lydia knew Allison long enough to know better.
"Well maybe if you let me rest it, then tonight we can all try snow tubing. It's not too involved and if I let the ankle heal then I can go out tonight." Lydia reasoned as she leaned into Stiles who was standing behind her with a hand placed lightly on her waist.
"I guess that we can probably go tubing later." Allison said nodding her head.
"Good." Lydia said before whipping her head around to look at her boyfriend "stay here and nurse me back to health?" Lydia asked him, but really it was more like an order, not that he would have said no though.
"Yeah of course, I'll stay." He answered with no hesitation before kissing her temple and running a hand lightly through her hair, making her shiver slightly at the touch.
Everyone finished their late breakfast and changed into weather and activity appropriate gear for the day. Stiles went back to the room he and Lydia were sharing to change into more comfortable clothing. Lydia was lying on the cabin's couch with her injured ankle propped up on a pillow when the group left, moments before Stiles returned to the living room. As he did Lydia ran got up from the couch and galloped over to him, planting a kiss on his lips, arms wrapping around his neck. He was frozen with shock and only his lips were responsive to hers.
"Uh I thought your ankle was hurt?" Stiles asked, confused, as he pulled away for a moment to get a look at her grinning face.
"I lied." She smirked.
"And why did you do that?"
"Because… I want to spend some alone time with you." She said wrapping her arms a bit tighter around his neck.
"But we've already been spending time together this whole trip…"
"I mean alone time, like just you and me time."
"Ohhhh…I see." He said as he finally wrapped his arms around her small waist, she could literally almost see the gears moving in his head as he finally understood what she was trying to convey to him.
"I hope that's alright with you, I mean I know you probably wanted to go skiing with everyone else today." She said before she began to kiss him softly on the neck.
"Um, n-no that's fine. Really it's very fine, great actually." Slowly he snaked his arms around her torso, pulling her close to him to kiss her fully on the lips.
"Mmmm," she moaned softly before pulling her slowly moving her lips off of his and removing her blouse to reveal a hot pink bikini top. "Hot tub?" She asked raising her eyebrows and pulling away from his grasp with a cheeky grin on her face.
"H-h-hot tub? Yeah, I'm up for that. Definitely very much up for that." He said trying to process everything that was happening.
"Well come on then." She smiled as she stripped her skirt off, leaving her now in just her bathing suit. After watcher her slowly leave the room towards the sliding glass door in the kitchen that led to the deck with the hot tub. A few minutes later he finally joined her there.
"Okay so this is so much better than skiing with everyone else." He said after they were there for a few moments just admiring the view from the warmth of the hot tub. His arm was wrapped around her shoulders and he kissed her cheek.
"I'm glad you agree." She said, grabbing his face and kissing him slowly and deliberately. He smiled into the kiss, perfectly content with where he was and who he was with. Soon the kiss became more passionate and intense than before, tongues becoming more and more involved, and hands roaming all over.
"Mmm Lydia." He moaned as she kissed his neck after climbing onto his lap, one leg on each side of his thighs.
"Little help?" She asked referring to her bathing suit top, he happily obliged, untying it for her and letting it drop. "Thanks." She said before returning to kissing him while pressing closer to him.
"Not a problem." He smirked as he ran his hands through her strawberry blond locks, trying to take her all in.
"What?" She asked shyly, unsure of what was going through his head.
"Nothing…I just, I love you."
"I love you too." She smiled sincerely at him.
"Well I guess someone's ankle is better." Isaac suddenly said from the doorway that led into the kitchen.
"Oh my god!" Lydia squealed clinging onto the back of Stiles' neck.
"Uh…dude, do you mind?" Stiles asked in his usual annoyed with Isaac Lahey voice as he clutched onto Lydia, making sure she wasn't exposed.
"Sorry, I just forgot my gloves." He said holding them up as evidence as to why he had returned to the cabin. A smile played out on his face, amused at what he had walked into, the sort of smile that guaranteed everyone else would be hearing about it too. "I guess I'll just be on my way then." He said as he closed the sliding glass door and going on his way.
"Did that just happen?" Lydia asked, shocked, moving away from being pressed up against him so she could look at him.
"Unfortunately. Ugh what a boner killer." He grumbled.
"Don't be whiney." She said kissing him on the corner of the mouth. "It's not attractive babe. Let's dry off and go inside." He nodded in agreement, getting out first and then helping her out next.
"Here, wouldn't want to forget this." He said reaching down and picking up her bikini top that he had tossed aside earlier.
"Thanks, I don't think I'll be needing it though." She blushed as he handed it to her but she didn't take it instead she wrapped her arms around his neck and then kissing him. He responded very positively deepening the kiss and then lifting her up, her legs fitting perfectly around his waist.
"Bedroom?" He suggested, pulling away to catch a breath.
"Yes. Bedroom. Now." She demanded, and he happily did so.
Stiles and Lydia were sitting on the couch in the living room watching the television, her head in his lap while he played with her hair when everyone else came back in with pizza, wings, and breadsticks after their day of skiing.
"Feeling better?" Derek asked snickering.
"Haha very funny. But since you asked, I am feeling better. Thanks for your concern." Lydia responded with snide in her voice.
"Well I'm glad you're feeling better." Kira said with a friendly smile as she sat down on one of the chairs in the living room, biting into a slice of pizza.
"I'm happy someone is concerned about my well-being." Lydia smiled as she sat up to go and get some food. "I'm feeling up for snow tubing if everyone else is. Are we still going?"
"Of course we're still going; snow tubing in the dark is the best." Scott said, verifying they would all be going later.
"Oh good." She said, thrilled at the idea because it would be a great end to a perfect day spent with her boyfriend and friends. "Food?" She asked looking at her boyfriend and grabbing his hand to get him off of the couch.
"Yeah." He nodded and followed her to the kitchen. The pack all ate their meals in the open kitchen/dining room/living room. Afterwards they all got ready to back out to the resort so they could all participate in snow tubing for the evening.
It was really nice that they all could do something together that wasn't obnoxiously dangerous for the first time in a while. And it was nice that everyone was getting along as well as they ever did. Lydia would have never seen herself being friends with any of these people a few years ago, but now she couldn't imagine her life without any of them. Surprisingly enough she really couldn't imagine her life without her dorky boyfriend. He loved her more than she deserved and she loved him just as much. Everything they did together was something special from hooking up in the hot tub to riding down the hill together in their tube. She really couldn't imagine her life with anyone else, and she didn't want to.
