Winter's scorn

It was the dead of winter, and snow was thick up in the mountain passes. Paige looked out of the window of the ski lodge out at the snow covered mountain side. It was a perfect day for skiing. She loved this job, smiling as she saw the first group of people heading out onto the slope. Two skiers and three snowboarders. Paige left her room grabbing her gear and walked into the common area. 
"morning P" said tom from behind the counter, polishing a glass. She smiled, she couldn’t remember when tom hadnt been polishing a glass.

"morning tom" she replied and walked behind the counter, pouring herself a cup of hot chocolate and filling her thermus. She looked around the room, a few sleepy tourists were up and wandering around. A few snowboarders were getting geared up, and a man was sitting in the corner silently strumming his guitar. It looked like it did every morning, she had no idea of what was about to happen. 
"hey P you’re gonna have to pay for that" said tom
"put it on my tab tom" she replied
"Paige I could buy vegas with your tab" he grumbled. 
"ok, then why are you still here?" she asked
"well I have to collect" he stated
Paige smiled at him and walked over to the door. she said good bye to tom and but on her boots. Paige walked over to the building across from the lodge, the big sign above said devil’s peak ranger station. Paige opened the door and walked inside.
"morning P" said Lenka, and fred. 
"morning you two, so whose going up today?" she asked

"well I cant, jene’s pregnant and I don’t want to be on the mountain when the time comes" said fred. His wife jene was pregnant, and was due sometime in the next week or two. 
"then I guess it’s just us girls" said Lenka smiling. She smiled back at her seeing that she wasn’t getting out of it. she sighed and walked over to the supply rack. Paige began msking up two of the usual packs. she finish preparing the packs, checked them and handed one to Lenka. She smiled that brilliant smile, and thanked her. Paige smiled back at her but that was all she could do. she froze every time she had the chance to say something. Paige mentally kicked myself for freezing up. she skied on some of the most dangerous mountains in the world and I couldn’t even handle a simple love relationship. Paige had had a seceret crush on Lenka ever since she had first seen her. Paige had been scared, coming from an almost all religious family she had been brought up thinking this was wrong. But eventually heart had won over faith and she had become comfortable with her feelings.

Almost everyone knew Paige was a lesbian. It had become obvious when one night at a party Paige had had a bit too much to drink and had done something very stupid. Something she had always wanted to do. she had kissed Lenka, not a quick kiss on the cheek or lips but a full passionate kiss on the mouth. she could still remember the shocked look on Lenka’s face. Lenka had gotten up and ran out of the room, Paige had tried to find her but had failed. The next morning Lenka had shown up acting as though nothing had ever happened. 

Lenka was a very beautiful woman. She was tall and thin with short black hair and vivid green eyes. her skin was pale, and she spoke with a beautiful accent. She had perfect teeth, her body was incredible, her breasts were large but not to large, her hips were wide and she was well muscled. She had the most beautiful voice. Tourists often asked why she was up here and not down in the cities making millions as a singer. She never answered them. she was funny and serious at the same time, she was always light hearted Paige had never seen her angry. The one thing about Lenka is that she seemed to have no interest in sex or love, as though she were celibate. At least Paige hoped she wasn’t, she never showed any signs of being celibate. But than again she didn’t know. she knew she was religious but didn’t know what religion, she kept that to herself. But Paige was sure it was a pagan religion. She wore the symbol under her shirt and always went of on her own to pray. Paige knew the religion was pagan because when Paige had heard her cuss she often used the word gods or goddess. But it was none of her business, she knew what Paige’s family was like, so she didn’t talk about religion around Paige in hopes of not insulting her. Lenka was the girl of Paige’s dreams.

"hey silly, come on, or am I gonna have to drag you up that moutain" said Lenka, shaking Paige out of her dazed stupor. Paige grabbed her pack and followed Lenka out onto of the lodge. As they walked Paige couldn’t help but look at that beautiful ass. She just longed to grab it, but knew that the results probably wouldn’t be pretty.

"Paige, you’d better not be staring at my ass" said Lenka over her shoulder while trying to keep herself from smiling. Paige went bright red and stared forcefully at nothing. She could hear Lenka laughing silently as she loaded up the snow mobile. Paige knew that Lenka enjoyed torturing her like this. at times it almost seemed like Lenka was flirting with Paige but she would blow Paige off as soon as she had seduced Paige into making a move. 

"I’ll take the kat, you ski up I’ll meet you there. I aint skiing and I think you couldn’t handle having your arms around me without trying to fuck me in the process." Lenka said, that last phrase had almost sounded inviting.

"wanna bet?" Paige asked and smiled as seductively as she could at Lenka.
"damn Paige! If I wasn’t straight I’d do you any day" she said smiling
"is that an invitation?" Paige said moving closer to Lenka. Lenka froze and Paige saw a flicker of something cross her face but than it was gone.
"you wish" Lenka retorted
"then grant my wish, you can be my magic lamp any day" said Paige huskily moving closer to Lenka.
"remember P were not in the desert, and I aint no magic lamp" stated Lenka
"well lets rub you and find out, shall we?" Paige said running her hands over Lenka sides. Lenka jumped back and tripped falling over the snow kat. Paige hoped over the snow kat and offered Lenka a hand, laughing. Lenka took it and pulled, catching Paige off guard. Paige fell onto the snow beside Lenka and they began wrestling with each other, laughing the whole time. Eventually Paige pinned Lenka underneath her and sat on top of her triumphantly. She looked down at Lenka and couldn’t resist it anymore. Bending down Paige intended to kiss Lenka, and Lenka didn’t appear to have any objections. Paige could see Lenka’s eyes go wide as she realized to late what was about to happen.

"hey can join?" said fred, both women froze, Lenka had an almost relieved look on her face, while Paige had turned bright red.
"fred! What would jene think?" said Lenka sounding scandalized.
"I’m sure she wouldn’t object to the show." Said fred.
"sorry fred I saw her first" said Paige "but you can have her when I’m done with her"
suddenly Lenka slipped out from under Paige and ran for the snow kat. Paige lunged after her but only managed to get a mouthful of snow as Lenka sped away. Paige could hear her laughing even from that distance.
"thanks a lot fred, I’ve been waiting for a chance to do that for a long time" said Paige standing up.
"hey you already got to kiss her once, remember how we found out that you were queer?" he said
"that’s not what I had in mind" said Paige with a sigh. Fred froze and suddenly it dawned on him.
"oh I’m sorry Paige! I thought it was just a friendly wrestling match" he said sounding honest. Paige knew that he was truly sorry.

"its ok fred, just make sure its what you think it is before interrupting me in that situation again" Paige replied, gave fred a quick hug and put on her pack and skis’. She grabbed her poles and started up the mountain after Lenka. On the way up she had to stop two teenagers who had skied into the off limits area, with obvious intentions of procreating. After that Paige continued up the mountain. She began to notice that the weather was taking a turn for the worse. Paige sped up and knew that she might just be able to beat the weather up to the ranger’s cabin. But soon Paige knew that she wouldn’t make it, and she deffinitly wouldn’t make it down to the resort. No one could get down that fast. They called it devil’s peak. The weather was almost unpredictable. She looked around for a place to seek shelter, there was none. She pulled out her walkie talkie and switched it to the emergency frequency. It was already getting pretty stormy and she knew it was going to get a lot worse real fast. She switched her emergency beacon on as she radioed in a distress call. She continued to hurry up the mountain towards the cabin. Already it was cold and even her winter clothing wasn’t helping much. There was a myth that a person got caught out in a storm, and when the rescue crew had found him in the morning he was frozen solid where he stood. 

"someone help me!" she said into the radio and pulled her clothes tighter around her. damn it was cold, but she couldn’t stop she knew that if she stopped she would die. She had to make it to the cabin, Lenka would never forgive her for dying. This thought had barely crossed her mind when she hit the ground. She knew that she had to get up but her muscles wouldn’t move, it was as if they were frozen already. knowing that this didn’t look good, she tried on her radio one last time. The chances of someone hearing her distress call were slim due to all the interference the storm was causing. There were deaths on the mountain every season, that’s why tourists werent allowed above a certain altitude except for experienced climbers, and even those had to be passed by either her, Lenka, or fred. ‘I’m sorry Lenka’ was her last thought as her vision began to dim.
