We didn't even think the decision through, we were already on the road driving up to the summer cabin. Mac had explained that his parents bought it years ago for a family holiday. They'd only spent three summers there before his Dad's affairs started and they'd never been back since.

It was probably crazy to go running off in the middle of the night with Mac and not tell anyone, but at the time neither of us cared. We were only focused on the excitement of the fact that no one would know where we were and it was just the two of us.

The cabin was ,surprisingly, a short drive. It looked cozy from the outside and overlooked a lake. At night with all the lights off it looked a little haunting, but once we were inside I was amazed with how stunning it really was.

Just like her home, Alice clearly had the decorating influence here. There was a fireplace and a small lounge area, the kitchen just behind it. There were four bedrooms upstairs, all with big beds in them and the biggest bathroom I'd ever seen. I didn't know why one bathroom needed two person showers and a bathtub the size of a small paddling pool, but I certainly wasn't complaining.

Mac led me down the hall to what was his bedroom, it looked identical to the others aside from one lonely guitar tucked away in the corner. He picked it up "I was wondering where this had to go" I sat on the bed almost sinking into the luscious memory foam. "why?" I asked. He grinned down at the guitar. It looked old and beaten up. "It was my first ever guitar that Mum bought me. I wrote my first songs with it".

"Wow. That's so cool that you've kept it all those years" he placed it back down still looking down at it. He shook his head as if shaking away some distant memory. Then he turned and took his shirt off. I had to hide my face.

You'd think with the amount of times I had seen him without clothes, I'd be over it by now. However every single time, it still had the same effect on me.

"Crap. Mac I didn't bring any clothes with me" I had only just had the realization, we'd left so spontaneously that I didn't even think to pick up any clothes from Tom's.

"You won't need them" Mac said and walked over to the bed. I held my breath, his bare chest was at my eye level, he grabbed the bottom of my dress and pulled on it, bringing it up and over my head. He knelt down in front of me and started kissing my neck. They were just small ones but they still gave me butterflies. He moved from my neck and down to my chest, reaching round behind to unhook my bra. He slid the straps down my arms and then chucked it on the floor.

I couldn't help covering myself up with my arms, it just seemed the natural thing to do. Mac didn't seem to notice too much, instead he grabbed the top of my panties and yanked them down. Once he was done undressing me he turned his attention to himself.

I couldn't take my eyes off him and he removed his jeans and boxers, he put all of our clothes at the end of the end of the bed and then turned off the light. Moments later I could hear sliding into the bed on the other side of me. I leaned back and used my hand to find him. He kissed the top of my head as I lay in his arms, sending me into a peaceful sleep.
