the seven cars, although if they were comfortable enough to sit in the hot tub together, then couldn't they just share one SUV? Georgie was already in the tub, wedged between a grinning blond guy and Chuck Bass. And they were all naked.
    “Georgina told me she had a special someone,” Chuck said, leering at Nate. His chest was covered with thick, dark hair. “But she didn't tell me it was the infamous Nathaniel Archibald!”
    Nate sat down on the wooden bench skirting the railing of the deck. He didn't feel like getting wet or naked, not in front of all these guys.
    “And this is the Dutch Olympic snowboarding team!” Georgie said, sweeping her snow-white arm in the direction of the seven blond guys dozing lazily in the hot water. “Chuck met them on the half-pipe just before the lifts closed.”
    “That's Jan, that's Franz, that's Josef, Conrad, Sneezy, Dopey, and Gan! Aren't they too yummy?” Chuck asked, sliding down into the tub until only his nose and eyes were out of the water. Then he popped up again. “And I'm Snow White!”
    “No, I'm Snow White,” Georgie insisted.
    “Nice to meet you.” Nate said, barely hiding his annoyance. If Georgie was already naked in the hot tub with the Dutch Olympic snowboarding team, then where did that leave him? A few of them could've been gay, since they were hanging out with Chuck, but they couldn't all be gay.
    “Hey!” Georgie cried, splashing water in Chuck's face. “Quit pinching my tits!” She smiled sweetly up at Nate. “Chuck's and my mom's sisters are cousins. Or something like that,” she explained. “We lost our virginity together in sixth grade.”
    Nate tucked his hands into his coat pockets. There wasn't much you could say to that, but it made him realize how very little he actually knew about Georgie. She was definitely full of surprises, and most of the time they weren't good ones.
    All of a sudden, Georgie splashed out of the water and streaked into the house. “I'm getting us some champagne! And if you're not in when I get back, Nate, I'm going to freaking push you in!”
    But Nate had no intention of getting in. Instead, he stood up and followed her wet footprints into the kitchen. Georgie was rummaging through cases of champagne in the walk-in pantry. Her white, naked ass caved in at the sides because she was so skinny, but other than that she was perfect.
    “I'm going upstairs to unpack.” Nate announced, giving Georgie the opportunity to come with him so he could take his clothes off, in private.
    “Suit yourself,” Georgie replied, scooting by him with a magnum of champagne under each arm.
    Upstairs Nate discovered his clothes had already been folded and put away in a cedar closet in one of the guest bedrooms. So instead of unpacking, he did a quick sweep of the bathrooms to get rid of all the random bottles of pills and anything else Georgie might try to ingest just for fun. If her mom really wasn't around, it was his responsibility to make sure she didn't drink a bottle of Nyquil and set the house on fire or something.
    Once he was finished Georgie-proofing the bathrooms, he was definitely going to call Serena and Blair at the lodge. Because if he and Georgie weren't going to have a romantic week together, skiing and having sex, and she was going to be all crazy all the time, then he'd rather have a little company.
    And who better to help entertain his hyperactively insane, drug-addicted girlfriend than the über-girl he'd always lusted after and his vicious-but-still-beautiful ex-girlfriend?

    Once they finally made it to the Sun Valley Lodge, Blair lay on her bed in their room, staring outside at the bare-branched trees and the snow, wondering if she shouldn't have gone to Hawaii after all. At least she could've gotten a tan.
    “Knock, knock!” Serena yelled at the door to the room next door. “Housekeeping!”
    She squealed excitedly as her long-lost brother opened
