|Exploring Aspen|

RENEE

I awoke with a start, disoriented and unsure of my surroundings. The last thing I remembered was warm, masculine hands gently stroking my hair until I fell asleep. And then it all came rushing back—the surprise trip and the thrilling ride to Robert's cabin in Aspen, as I'd later discovered.

Last night was a blur, but I remembered the incredible ride. I got to just be with Robert, and make small talk with the love of my life. A cheesy grin spread across my face at the memory.

When we arrived at the luxury cabin, he showed me around briefly—saving the rest for morning, before taking me straight to the bedroom, where I fell asleep immediately.

With the sun shining brightly through the windows and into my eyes, I stretched out my limbs, groaning as my joints popped. I whispered Robert's name and looked at his side of the bed. It was empty, and I blinked, perplexed.

Last night, I distinctly remembered Robert caressing my brow and kissing my forehead before lying beside me. He'd wrapped his arms tightly around me. So, where was he?

"Robert?" I called again, but there was no answer. Just silence.

With a sigh, I sat up, immediately scanning the room with my eyes, and that's when I saw him.

By the right side of the room was a huge glass sliding door opening onto an outdoor balcony, overlooking a veranda, and in the near distance stood Robert leaning against a rail.

I couldn't see his face because his black locks cascaded down his shoulders, but I could feel him—his entire body stiff, every muscle taut. He wore shorts and a white tee, his muscles bulging with each breath.

Damnit, Robert was fucking hot. So hot and incredibly sexy. My mouth watered.

It took everything in me to keep my lusty looks under control as he slowly turned and caught sight of me sitting up in bed. His eyes widened, a dark flush crept across his tanned complexion. His lips then curled upward, a smile tugging at the corners.

"You're awake."

"Yes." I said quietly, my fingers twitching as I stepped up from the bed. I tried to ignore the fluttering in my stomach as his eyes swept over my half-naked body.

I still wore the same shirt from yesterday—a tank top that clung loosely to my curves and exposed the outline of my breasts. Robert had removed my bra while I slept, so there was nothing I could do about my nipples peeking through the thin fabric of my shirt.

My jeans were gone, too, leaving matching thong panties and socks to cover my bare legs. Socks? Robert didn't comment on the extra clothing. Instead, he continued to stare at me with his intense blue eyes, the smirk on his face widening. His scrutiny made me blush—hard!

"Morning, Robert." I greeted, walking out of the bedroom and onto the balcony. He still stood by the railing, watching me.

"My love." He said, his whisper barely audible. It sent an electric thrill through me, and suddenly, his hand came out, firmly grabbing mine.

I fell flush against his chest, breathing in his musky, familiar scent. He held me tight, one arm slithering protectively around my waist, the other caressing my neck.

"Sleep well?" I smiled against his chest as his low voice rumbled in my ear.

"Yes, you?"

"I always sleep well with you by my side." He murmured, the corner of his mouth tipping up even more, and I chuckled softly.

Pulling away and turning my chin to the side, I gasped at the view before me.

Last night had been dark except for the dimly lit-up bulbs, and I could barely see the cabin's surroundings. But this morning, the view was truly breathtaking.
