The seats in the lobby are very soft and warm, with all the thick padding covering it. The entire building looks like a modern tree house, except without the tree…And it isn’t a house. I guess it’s more like a wooden cabin? God, I don’t know!
I shake my head at how silly I am. I notice the concierge is full of guests checking in and out, as always.
At the other side of the massive overly-decored lobby is a group of noisy tourists who are probably here on their first mountain tour. I can’t blame them; the mountain looks mesmerizing as the clouds have already cleared.
It’s the perfect day for a ski.
My train of thought wanders to Sean. He is a very amazing person, and I don’t think I would be able to have this much fun if he weren’t around. Sure, he’s mysterious, and I don’t know much about him…But he’s a genuine person, at least as far as I’ve observed.
I do feel like he does have feelings for me. I wish for it, hoping that my feelings would be reciprocated. My face heats as I finally acknowledge it.
I am in love with Sean.
The pace of my heartbeat increases the more I imagine myself with him. How perfect am I in his hold! I’ve never been this head over heels for a man in my life.
Sean is like my spirit animal. He knows how to take care of me, and what adventures I like. There’s a mutual understanding of how each other works, and how we need to complement each other—which doesn’t really take a lot of effort!
My arms wrap around my body, eyes closed, imagining his warm arms surrounding me. I’m on cloud nine! I repeat the words over and over again: “I love you!”
“You love who?”
My brain clicks back to reality as Sean’s voice and warm arms pull me back to Earth. He hugs me from behind. I smile sheepishly at him, drawing his arms closer.
“I love me,” I respond before winking at him. “You’re late, Sean.”
He chuckles. That voice is made of rich, dark chocolate, I tell you. “Sorry love, I got a bit of a pickle with work. But, I’m here now, and I will take you to the most breathtaking view of this resort.”
My interest piques and I turn around to face him. “Oh, really? So, you’ll be stealing me today?”
“Today and tomorrow, love.” He responds.
Now I’m even more excited. I’ll be spending the entire weekend with him. I just want to take him home with me, if I can.
“Let’s go.” He says, taking my baggage.
I watch him from the back as I follow his steps. He’s so fit. The way that winter jacket hugs his figure even with the padding, is making me want him so much.
We step out of the lobby entrance. To my surprise, a golden Bentley Bentayga greets us. Sean makes a V-line towards the SUV. Hold on, that can’t be our car, can it?
“Sean? That’s our car?” I ask in amazement.
He glances at me after the bellboy laid the baggage in the trunk. “Yes! Why? Don’t you like it?”
“I-It’s not that!” I stammer. “I just didn’t expect we’ll be traveling with this. I mean, this is expensive!”
Sean crosses his arms over his chest, and he smirks at me. Something tells me I might have said something. “Baby, with me, you’ll never travel out of style.”
The amount of blood that creeps up my face will make you think I’m about to have a nosebleed. He’s so cocky. I like it.
“Well, I guess I’m a lucky woman.” I blurt out.
He walks over to me, towering, before slowly taking my hand to his lips. “You’re my lucky woman.”
He’s going to be the death of me!
My green orbs focus on his hazels. My arms wrap around his neck, and I pull him in for a kiss. He kisses back, wrapping his arm around my waist.
The minute we spend like that feels like an eternity. When we finally break apart, he gives me this most tantalizing smile. His hand reaches for mine as he leads me into the car.
The road to the mountain is long and winding. We pass heavily forested areas and several clearings. From my side of the car, I can see the resort and the surrounding village. We’re going towards the other side of the resort then.
I sneak a small peek at Sean. He is fumbling with his phone, looking quite distressed. I inch to him before quickly coming between him and his phone. I straddle his hips and smirk.
“What are you doing, baby?” He asks, taken back by my action.
“Pay attention to me, Sean,” I whine in response.
Sean smiles a bit and puts his phone down. His hands rub up against the length of my body. I shiver at his touch.
“You’re so clingy.” He mutters. He unzips my jacket and pulls up my shirt. Suddenly, he plants his face on my chest.
I gasp and grip his hair as he starts to lick my nipple. Looks like I woke up the sex god again. We continue to touch and massage each other. At some point, my hips rock against his crotch. I feel his cock get hard again.
I think we’re going to fuck in this car.
Unfortunately, it won’t be happening as we already arrive at the lodge before we can even go around the base. The driver pulls up to the garage of this huge log cabin. The orange tint of the wood does contrast well with the white and dark colors of the mountain and the surrounding trees.
“Sir, we’re here.” The driver says. He goes out and starts to unload the bags from the trunk.
Sean chuckles and gives me a long, deep kiss. “Sorry baby, this is our stop.”
How unfortunate. No matter, there are still other opportunities. I get off of him, fix my jacket up, and then get out the car.
I observe the rustic looking cabin. From outside, I can already note the fireplace and the cozy look of the living room. We make our way inside, and it’s as beautiful as I predicted.
The air is warm and comfortable. There’s an inviting feel to this entire place, as I just strip off my jacket and lay on the soft, leather couch. Now, this is living the good life.
“I’ll take a look around!” I announce, getting on my feet and walking through the space.
The dining area is situated beside the large, modern kitchen. The take away from his room is that the huge window gives you an unobstructed view of the resort and village. I bet this will look incredible at night when the town lights are all on.
I check the bathroom and am not disappointed. We have a shower and bathtub, a Jacuzzi, and a freaking sauna. A sauna!
Stepping up the wooden spiral staircase, I see several rooms’ line up. Sean steps out from one room, the middle one, and waves at me.
“Babe, come here! This is where we’ll be sleeping.” He chimes before going back in.
Hurriedly, I climb up faster and enter the room. My jaw drops in shock.
There’s a king-sized bed lined with black and white sheets. The pillows look so fluffy. A carpet borders the area of the bed itself.
Across the bed, there is a fireplace. Our stuff is already stored in the wooden wardrobes. The room also has the same huge window running from the dining area, giving us this beautiful view.
“Jesus Christ, this place is gorgeous!” I yelp, jumping for joy.
Sean smiles at me, clearly pleased with my reaction. He picks me up from the ground and carries me bridal style to the bed. There, he lays me down and kisses me with a pleasured embrace.
“I told you, with me, you’ll never need to worry about anything. I will take care of you.” He affirms.
My eyes water as I cling to him in a tight embrace. I love him so much.
“Thank you!” I squeal with joy.
He gently pulls away from me and helps me up. He brushes the hair off my face and tucks the stubborn strands away and behind my ear.
“So, how about we go out and take a quick hike up the mountain? Bring your gear.” He says.
I quickly nod and peck his lips.
“I’ll be ready in fifteen minutes!” I exclaim before running off to prepare.
This is the best day of my life, ever!
Chapter 11

I am in love with Mariah Goodwin.
That is something I am sure of now that I’m spending so much time with her. Even without her around, I still think about her. I have never felt such a connection in my life before.
Perhaps one of the reasons why is because she doesn’t even know I’m her boss or that I’m filthy rich. Yet, she still shows this much compassion and love towards me. I know her love is genuine and not born out of the gains she could potentially get from me.
That’s the main thing I’m looking for in a potential partner.
Plus, she’s absolutely beautiful. She’s intelligent and athletic. She’s competitive. Her competitive nature gives me that sense of adventure and thrill that I honestly lack in my life.
Not even all the riches in the world can buy you a genuine friend and confidante.
She gets me, even if I don’t tell much about me to her. That’s the kind of woman I like. That’s why I want to give her everything. I want to make her feel that I do love her. And, maybe, I hope she won’t get angry once I reveal to her who I really am.
Today, I decided to take her out on a weekend trip so we can spend some alone time together. I’m sure she needs the break too. She’s working very hard, and I am happy to have such a hard worker at my resort.
I smile to myself as I remember what had transpired just earlier today:
I waited for her downstairs. I have my ski gear, not including the plates, and clothing on, making sure I’m completely warm for the trek up. It’s quite a distance uphill, but not too far to require additional motorized help.
When Maya walks down the spiral staircase, my body freezes and my heart starts to beat fast. She is stunning. There are not enough words to describe how beautiful she is.
I get up and immediately walk towards her. My arms scoop her up, and I kiss her tenderly. I stare into her eyes and whisper softly.
“I have a surprise for you today.”
I’m sure she could barely contain herself as she started to scream “I love you!” again and again.
We’re at the top of the mountain now. The trek uphill didn’t feel as tiring nor as long as we both kept each other company and fairly occupied. I present to her the most beautiful view of the mountains and the town just below it.
The chilly wind blew across our faces as we stood at what felt like the very top of the world. One day, I will bring her there. Right now, I just want to keep staring at her flawless face glowing as the sun’s rays lick her skin.
“Let me show you something!” I call out to her.
I come behind her and outstretch her arms to the sides. A sudden gust of wind makes her scream in delight. I can’t help but smile as Maya starts to enjoy.
“This is amazing Sean!!” She screams at me.
I snort and laugh at her. “Feel like flying, baby?”
“Yes! I feel so damn free!” She closes her eyes and leans on me.
I gently rest my chin on her shoulder and kiss her face. “That’s good. Are you happy?”
She nods in agreement.
“You are, even if you barely know me?” I ask.
She turns to me and cups my cheek. My chest tightens as I see her eyes. She’s so serious. “Yes, Sean. I’m happy with you even if you’re mysterious. I like it, even. I just want to be with someone who I can share all this with…Someone who will love me for me.”
“That’s funny…That’s exactly how I feel.” I respond, teary-eyed.
Mariah is perfect.
“Really? Gosh! We’re so alike then!” She exclaims.
I gulp and hold her hands. That’s it. That’s all the signs I need.
“Mariah? I just want to let you know that I am completely and utterly in love with you. If you allowed me, I would like to formally court you. And I want to marry you one day.”
Her face looks at me with absolute shock. She immediately nods and wraps those slender arms around me. I hold her close, taking it as a ‘Yes.’
“Let’s go one step at a time. But no need to court me, we are officially dating.” Maya squeals and buries her face in my chest.
Somehow, having a girl do this to me fills me with great joy and satisfaction.
My chest packs with this strange sense of cheerfulness as I hold her in my arms. I am relieved that she accepted me.
With no words left, I just press my lips to hers as we prepared for our descent to the base of the mountain. She holds onto me for balance as she clicks her boots into the binding. She does the same for me as I stick my own in place.
The descent is swift. The path is clear of debris and people, which made speeding down the trail faster and much more fun. Once again, we race each other to the finish line.
On top of that, the sun is already setting on the mountain. We try to make our way down before the sun has completely set.
I don’t even bother with the tricks anymore. I might embarrass myself.
The way we laugh at each other could make people jealous of just how much we’re having fun. Who knew finding a partner would feel this great?!
I feel elated!
By the time we reach the base of the mountain, the sun has just started to finish its own descent. We beat the sun.
I help her off her plates and gather our stuff. My arms wrap around her body to make sure she doesn’t feel the winter chill. My lips gently press the top of her soft brunette hair.
In comfortable and loving silence, we make our way back to the cabin.
Chapter 12
Mariah
Sean and I walk back to the cabin hand in hand. He had just asked me out, and my head still can’t wrap around it. We’re officially going out.
The way it came was so unexpected. As always, I ask myself how it has come to this. How did I manage to land such a man like Sean? All I did was challenge him to a race, and that’s it.
What do I have that he wants?
Given, I know I’m beautiful. I am gorgeous. I ski very well. I’m just naturally lovely.
But, I’m not that interesting, am I? I’m not that rich either so that’s that. How did he like someone like me when he can meet people in his own circle? People who, I’m sure, are just as well off?
But then…I wouldn’t have it any other way, would I? ‘Don’t question the good things,’ they say. I should just be happy that he even chose me to begin with.
I can replay the memory over and over again and still get the chills from it. I smile.
It’s night time already, and the temperature is getting lower and lower hundreds of miles above sea level. I hug myself as the frost starts to penetrate my jacket.
Upon seeing me, Sean immediately wraps his arms around my body. His frame is large enough to envelop my body in a tight area of warmth. I fit perfectly into his muscular frame. He’s just so perfect.
We spot the cabin and quickly head towards it, no longer wishing to be caught in the freezing cold. Sean quickly turns the knob, and I scoot towards the fireplace. He closes the door and locks it, before laying the ski plates on the wooden floors.
I pry the thick jacket off my body, tossing it to the side, and lie on the couch. I am pooped.
“Oy! Boots off!” I hear Sean say.
A groan leaves my supple lips, and I bury my face on the throw pillow. “I’m tired…”
Sean suddenly gets very quiet. Then I feel him grab my foot and start to unbuckle my boots off my feet. That’s so nice of him. I feel like a queen. Soon, my feet are free from the confines of the shoes.
I look at him as he kneeled in front of me. Slowly, his fingers pressed on pressure points on my foot, giving me a very relaxing foot massage. I can’t help but moan a bit as he increased and decreased the pressure.
“Does this feel good?” Sean asks.
I nod and turn my body to face him. “Y-Yeah, that feels good. O-Oh! There!”
Instinct kicks in, and I stretch my body. He’s massaging my feet really well. I don’t often get massaged. But, when I do, my body just takes over, and I
can’t stop the reactions. Sean stops after a few minutes.
I sit up and kiss him deeply, cupping his face. “Thank you, babe.”
“You’re welcome.” He responds.
Sean sits me down properly then slowly takes off my clothes, one by one. I am curious as to what he wants to do. Left with only my thong for cover, I look up to him.
“Let me get the oil. Just lie down on the sofa. I’ll give you a proper massage.” Sean informs.
I nod and relax on the sofa, as he instructed. The sound of the faucet opening and closing distracts me, followed by the sound of clinking from the cabinets. His steps are heavy as he trudged back to the living room.
Pretending to be asleep, I keep my head down on the throw pillow. I flinch as I suddenly feel his finger slowly trace the area of my back, from the nape down to the curve of my ass.
“You’re such a work of art, Maya…” I hear him whisper.
My bra is the first to go. He unclasps the hooks off and pries it away from my back. Then, his fingers hook on my panties and slowly pull it down. My ass is fully exposed for his complete disposal.
Then the oil drips on my back. It’s warm as it oozes on the small of my back then all the way to the area just below my shoulders. I nibble on my lip as the oil slicks my back.
His hands come next. They just rub all over my back, spreading the oil from the line of my spine, getting my back to warm up before the actual massage takes place. Once the skin was all warm, he starts the assault.
The way his hands move reminds me of the time I got a soothing massage back when my family and I travelled to Japan. That was right after we took a dip in the local hot spring. His fingers have the same precision as the masseuse who worked on my body that night.
Inch by inch, he pressed on different pressure points of my body. His strokes were always on point, always accurate on their targets. He presses on a part that’s particularly stiff, and I immediately moan in pleasure.
“That’s a good spot…!” I cry out.
He whispers in my ear and nods. “I know that.”
Sean goes over my entire length, massaging every point in my body. After he finishes with my back, he asks me to turn towards him. I follow, with some difficulty. My muscles just got worked, and my brain is just too relaxed to be moving around.
