Only there for a girl&#8217;s weekend winter retreat, Holly is very upset to have been forced away from her room by the sex her girlfriends are having, each having broken the main rule of the weekend and brought their boyfriend along.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s bad enough that they are acting like sluts, but when the man who strikes up a conversation with her by the fire actually says Holly might be one too, the weekend seems like it may be totally ruined.<\/p>\n<p>Seeming polite at first, the man simply tells Holly that a woman is like a good fire, sometimes difficult to get started but once warm only getting hotter and hotter, definitely easy to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Laughing she assumes the older man is just the conversational type, but soon enough Holly might be discovering just what his conversations can lead to as he finds her admitting she has been called frigid, something she is quite proud of if it means she isn&#8217;t a skank like her girlfriends. But when he says she might be the type of woman who is denying a part of herself, given the way she dresses and is so pleasing to look at.<\/p>\n<p>As he puts it a woman who is naturally frigid has no interest in men at all&#8230; not even to spark up a conversation with an older man by the fireplace in a lodge, but clearly Holly had that much interest. Perhaps she is hiding from a part of herself, denying herself something, and that is where the idea that Holly might in fact be a slut in denial comes from.<\/p>\n<p>Definitely not liking the indication, Holly is even more confused by the suggestion her real anger comes not from her friends bringing boys, but from those friends refusing to share them with her since she didn&#8217;t bring her own.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s late at night, and Holly has had a lot on her mind and even more on her nerves, but somehow this random chance encounter with a man by the fire is leaving Holly more confused than ever, dazed as to just what truths he might be speaking.<\/p>\n<p>Only one thing is clear, and that&#8217;s that no matter how frigid Holly may have been when she sat down by this fire, she&#8217;s soon going to be fully thawed and cooking hotter than ever with a burning need she never knew she had and three friends who will share whether they wanted to or not.<\/p>\n<p>On the fourth day of Kris-mas, more than just the Kris-mas Konversation gets heated up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/690101\" target=\"_blank\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01N9IHBBY\" target=\"_blank\">Now on Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the next day of Kris-mas&#8230; Kris-mas can be more than some girls can handle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Angered by her girlfriends breaking the rules of a girl&#8217;s weekend alone at a mountain lodge, Holly finds herself frustrated by the fire in the lobby.
