Shadows of Affection (GxG)

Chapter 38: Northern Lights of Love

Alessia had been planning this surprise for months, and now the moment had come to reveal it. She found Lily in the art room, working on her latest painting.

"Lily, amore," Alessia called softly, her voice laced with excitement.

Lily turned, a curious smile on her face. "Yes, baby?"

"I have a surprise for you," Alessia said, extending her hand.

Lily's eyes sparkled with intrigue as she took Alessia's hand. "What kind of surprise?"

"You'll see," Alessia replied, leading her out of the mansion and toward the awaiting car.

The drive to the private airstrip was filled with a buzz of anticipation. When they arrived, Lily's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of Alessia's sleek private jet.

"Are we going somewhere?" Lily asked, her excitement growing.

"Yes," Alessia said, guiding her up the steps of the jet. "We're going to Alaska."

"Alaska?" Lily repeated, her voice a mix of surprise and delight. "Why Alaska?"

"You'll see," Alessia said with a mysterious smile. "It's a very special place, and the timing is perfect."

Once they were settled into the luxurious interior of the jet, Alessia took Lily's hand in hers, squeezing it gently. "I wanted to take you somewhere where we can create beautiful memories. Somewhere that will hold a special meaning for us."

Lily leaned into Alessia, her curiosity piqued even further. "I can't wait."

The journey to Alaska was filled with anticipation and a sense of quiet excitement. Alessia had arranged for everything to be perfect. As they soared above the clouds, Lily leaned against Alessia, their hands intertwined.

"This feels like a dream," Lily murmured, gazing out of the window at the endless expanse of sky.

"It's real, principessa," Alessia replied, kissing the top of Lily's head. "And it's just the beginning."

After landing in Anchorage, a sleek black SUV awaited them, ready to take them to the cabin. The drive was long but scenic, the pristine wilderness of Alaska unfolding before them in a tapestry of snow-capped mountains and dense forests.

When they finally arrived at the cabin, Lily gasped in awe. It was a cozy, yet elegant structure nestled in the heart of the wilderness, with large windows offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

"This is amazing," Lily said, her voice filled with wonder.

Alessia smiled, her heart swelling with happiness at Lily's reaction. "I'm glad you like it. This place is very special to me, and I wanted to share it with you."

They spent the day exploring the area around the cabin, enjoying the crisp, clean air and the serene beauty of the Alaskan wilderness. As evening approached, Alessia prepared a simple but delicious dinner, and they ate together by the fireplace, the warmth and light creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere.

Later that night, Alessia led Lily outside, where the sky was clear and the stars shone brightly. "There's something I want to show you, my love" she said, her voice soft and full of anticipation.

As they stood there, the Northern Lights began to dance across the sky, their ethereal colors reflecting off the snow and casting a magical glow over everything.

Lily's eyes filled with tears of awe and happiness. "This is incredible," she whispered.

Alessia took Lily's hands in hers, turning her to face her. "Lily, I wanted to bring you here for our second year anniversary. This is where I originally planned to propose to you."
