just… I don’t know about this.”
    “It’s just a kiss,” Visnah coaxed. “Well, two.”
    Alexei looked at Zimah, then at Visnah, and couldn’t help a wave of want. After all, what would it hurt? Eva would get her flowers, and Alexei would experience something incredible. For he had no doubt kissing either of these men would be unbelievable. “All right,” he answered. “I’ll do it.”
    Zimah gave him an unreadable look. “Excellent,” he said. Zimah blew into the air and the snow around them began to dissipate. Then Visnah bowed his head toward the ground and waved his hand toward it. Flowers bloomed all around them, turning the forest into a green paradise. Violets flourished everywhere, and for a few moments Alexei was too stunned to even move. “Go on,” Ly etah urged him. “Pick your flowers.”
    Alexei rushed to do as Ly etah told him. With trembling hands, he picked a bouquet of the love ly blossoms, caressing the soft petals. When he finished, he wrapped them in a soft cloth and placed them in the saddlebag.
    This all seemed so surreal. Who were these men? Did he real ly run into the seasons themselves? No, it couldn’t be. Witchcraft, then? Either that or this was some sort of weird dream. Perhaps Alexei had fallen into the snow and now hallucinated beautiful men.
    Zimah’s voice pushed aside his fears. “Now, our reward,” he said.
    Alexei nodded. His heart thundered as he approached Zimah and pressed his mouth to Zimah’s in a chaste kiss. He’d on ly ever tried this with women, but he found Zimah’s lips to be even softer than any maiden’s. But Zimah was unlike anyone Alexei had ever touched before, and the man soon proceeded to prove it to Alexei. His tongue demanded entrance, and Alexei glad ly complied, moaning as he did so. Their kiss reminded Alexei of a winter storm, not cold, but wicked, harsh, and unforgiving. Zimah took what he wanted, and his skin, strange ly cold to the touch, seemed to warm under Alexei’s touch. Alexei felt odd, as if the fire he’d always felt within him urged him onwards, to melt away the ice inside Zimah.
    All too soon, they broke apart, with both of them panting hard. The other three men gave them heated looks. Visnah approached and took Alexei in his arms. “My turn.”
    Visnah’s kiss turned out to be gentle where Zimah’s had been rough and ravishing. He coaxed Alexei to relax, licking at the seams of Alexei’s lips with excruciating patience. Visnah smelled like the fresh flowers he’d summoned, and a sense of tamed desire filled Alexei. He wanted to lose himself in Visnah’s scent and taste forever, to enjoy the reviving energy that seemed to course through his veins when they touched.
    When the need to breathe forced them to separate, Alexei stumbled away from the two men, his head whirling with arousal and confusion. Ohsyn caught him before he fell. “Careful now. We wouldn’t want you to fall.”
    Alexei stared at the man blank ly . “Do you want a kiss, too?” he blurted out.
    His face flamed when Ohsyn grinned at him. “It wouldn’t hurt, but Ly etah and I did n’t help you, so we can’t ask that .”
    Ly etah chuckled huski ly . “But since you’re offering, we won’t say no.”
    Before Alexei could protest, Ohsyn and Ly etah kissed his cheeks. They should have been friend ly pecks and nothing more, but with Ly etah groping Alexei’s ass, they became something entire ly different, a promise for more.
    Final ly , the four men urged Alexei off. “Go on,” Ohsyn said. “Go home. Your fami ly must be worried by now.”
    Alexei nodded. “Thank you for your help,” he said.
    He retrieved the flowers from the saddlebag and held them careful ly while he mounted the horse. He did n’t want to squash the gentle buds, and he needed to keep them away from the chill wind as well.
    “Don’t worry,” Visnah said. “They’ll keep until you get home.”
    Alexei waved at the four men and rode away. He forced himself to keep
