More Than You Know (h.s)

Chapter Sixty Four.

ROSALIE'S POV ❁

"This place is adorable. The pictures online did this absolutely no justice." I look happily around the cozy condo-like room as Harry stands at my side, similarly in awe.

"I'm not much of a sentimental guy, but I will admit that I'm pretty excited to curl up next to you in front of that fire." Harry admits back with a chuckle. I grin while staring at the small white fireplace not too far from the bed that I know for a fact will heat us up during the chilly evenings as we stare at the snow falling outside of our window.

When my parents suggested we take a family trip to Aspen for Christmas instead of staying at home, of course Harry and I agreed. We were hoping to spend our Christmas alone together for a change this year, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity for my parents to purchase our plane tickets and take us out on some memorable holiday trip with the rest of my family.

"Do you need some help carrying the stuff in? It's so cold outside. We need to shut this door." I unlink my arm from Harry's and look behind us at our suitcases sitting in the snowy doorway of the condo.

My sister and Christopher are right next door to us, while my mother and father share a room beside them, leaving Eli and Serena in the other room connected to mine and Harry's and Andy alone in his room beside theirs. The small pod of condos came in a package of five and my parents had booked each of the units for our trip months and months in advance to get them during Christmas time.

"I don't need any help. Go get settled in. I'm sure you're tired after all of that traveling today." Harry dismisses me form his side with a gentle kiss against my forehead and I nod thankfully.

My feet carry me tiredly over to the bed with a wooden frame that goes nicely with the rustic yet cozy theme of the room. A large floor-to-ceiling window takes up the entire wall adjacent to our bed and I find the large snowflakes falling on the ground just outside of our room to be mesmerizing as I plop down onto the comfortable mattress.

"This trip will be so fun once I finally get some sleep. I was up all night worrying about leaving today and I could barely get any sleep on the plane. I'm going to be out like a light after dinner." I mumble tiredly to Harry while he shuffles around with our bags. He props the suitcases up at the end of the bed and strips from his coat while I lay on the bed and stare up at him.

"I'll be right there with you. You know, this trip will call for lots of cuddling. Cold weather, hot drinks, exhaustion from the holiday excitement..." He smirks as he crawls onto the bed over to where I'm laying. He ends up hovering over the top of me with his body between my legs and his forehead leaned against mine.

"It's not the trip that's making you cuddly. You just need to excuse to be a big ol' sap." I link my arms around his neck and grin in amusement as he pecks gentle kisses around my face.

"If I wanted to cuddle you all hours of the day then I would. This is just extra reasoning." He attempts to reason back. I giggle in response and nudge the tip of my nose against his to admire the sweet gesture of him being so close to me.

"I'm so excited to be here. According to my mom the resort is, like, a half a block away and renting out the condos means we automatically have an all-inclusive trip. There's also a hot tub in the back yard." I bring my hands up to stroke my thumbs across the sharp lines of his jaw while he continues to stare inquisitively at me.

"So, hot tub sex and what else? Can we get, like, a couples massage or something? Afternoon tea? A steam room?"

"I'll have to look into it, but I think a majority of that is doable. But do you really think we'll get away with hot tub sex while my entire family is literally surrounding us?" I playfully poke the tip of his nose with my finger, then lean up to press a lingering kiss to the spot.
