and I shoot him a grateful look, leaning over and kissing him softly on the lips.
“If I knew we were going to get kisses as a reward for telling you, Angel, I would’ve told you instantly” Jensen grumbles like it might give him brownie points now and he might still get a kiss.
How is this my life?
“You didn’t though so no kiss” I smirk and the others chuckle.
The further we go up the mountain the worse the road becomes until even though it’s covered in a thick blanket of snow the truck is still bouncing around everywhere and it’s taking all of Trick's concentration to drive the thing at the moment.
“Wow this is really off the beaten track, when you told me it was pretty secluded I didn’t think you meant quite like this” I say as the truck dips on one side when we dip into another snow covered hole in the road. The wheels skid for a heart stopping second before gripping again.
Actually considering how icy it is I’m surprised we haven’t skidded before now. I turn to Riot to ask him and answers me before I’ve even gotten a word out.
“Snow tires” he says.
“That makes more sense. Is the trailer going to be alright back there” I ask worriedly as I glance past Luc in the back seat and out the back window towards the trailer.
“Yeah it should be fine” Trick answers me. “There isn’t that far to go now and it should flatten down a bit in a minute as we get to the clearing around the cabin.”
All I can see out of the windows are trees, lots and lots of super tall, imposing trees and white. Everything is covered in a blanket of white and as I watch, more flurries start to fall from the sky.
It’s so pretty.
“The track wasn’t this bad last year” Jensen comments.
“Nope, we might have to come up in the summer and asses the damage. See if we need to get someone in to repair it” Rafe answers him.
I’m distracted from the conversation that I have no idea how to contribute too, when I get my first glimpse of the cabin.
Chapter Fourteen
The cabin looks like something from a fairy tale especially with all the snow. In typical style for the guys it is not the small, cute cabin I was envisioning but rather the mansion version of a log cabin. Although it’s huge it still somehow manages to look rustic and inviting. The guys said they had a cabin but I’m not sure who this giant dream house actually belongs to. The cabin itself is clad in natural logs, has a giant wrap around porch that is big enough that it would probably protect you from the worst of the snow and has a porch swing that looks in surprisingly good condition. I can’t wait to curl up on it with one of Rafe’s hot chocolates. The house itself is at least three stories tall and has massive windows that no doubt make the most of the view.
It’s set in a clearing and other than the partially concealed track we came up, is completely surrounded by trees. To say that it’s idyllic is a massive understatement. I absolutely adore it and if you’d asked me back when I used to dream what my ideal house would look like, I’m pretty sure I would’ve described this place. I haven’t even seen inside yet. I’d love to see it in the summer, I bet it’s stunning then too.
Whilst I’ve been admiring the cabin the guys have all gotten out and are now starting to unload the trailer and the back of the truck. I hop out to help them, my feet sinking into the deep snow that’s now beginning to fall faster. I’m incredibly grateful Jenny and Kat convinced me to get these winter boots, my toes are toasty warm. I make my way around to the back of the truck to grab some bags, impatient and wanting to explore the inside.
“He’s not here. At least there’s no cars here” Trick says.
“He either got caught up and is on the way or will turn up tomorrow” Rafe replies, shrugging as he turns to me and hands me my bags from the back of the truck and then ends up grinning as he sees I’m practically bouncing where I’m stood with excitement.
“He’ll be here. Trust me, there’s no way he could turn down a chance to meet Ever” Cash grins coming up behind them
