Lotus [18+]

|Broken symphony|

|Ace Carlyle|

We flew first class but I wish I could've shown her my private jet, she would've loved the big screen I have for movies in the bedroom or the shower in the bathroom which is my personal favorite.

We stayed in character the whole flight, touching her stomach and not drinking anything. As soon as we landed I ordered an Uber XL then I put my phone down and saw Lotus looking out the plane's window with a big smile so I snapped a picture of the moment; she didn't notice, she was too busy admiring the snow.

"What do you want to do today?" I said as we walked out of the airport holding hands.

"I don't know," she giggled gazing at me "what do you want to do?"

"Try to cook homemade pizzas and eat them in front of the fireplace while we listen to Jazz," I thought about that the whole way here.

Lotus nodded looking up at me "That sounds perfect."

My place in Aspen is not in the middle of nowhere but the nearest property is a mile away so it's really private and I come here when I'm overwhelmed with work but I haven't been here since Emily's birthday in September so some of her clothes should be in the closet but don't worry, I'll burn them.

On our way there Lotus stole my phone and took beautiful pictures of the gorgeous town "You fall in love easily," I said.

"I know," she glanced at me over her shoulder "but sometimes you just know."

"Yeah, I guess so," I looked at my watch and took it off slowly.

"Is that your hotel?!" she asked excitedly.

I looked up and nodded with a smile "Yes, that's The Carlyle."

"It's gorgeous," she whispered against the window "it looks super huge."

I've never seen someone so excited about a hotel so taking her for a tour there should be in our list of activities for tomorrow. Right now I just want to lay in bed with her wearing our underwear.

"You got a text," she said looking at the screen of my phone.

"From?" I asked looking at the engraving on the back of my watch.

From a proud father to a successful son.

"Your assistant," she said.

"Can you read it for me? Please."

"Yup," I heard her type in my password "where were you last night? I waited until midnight and then there's a picture..." she handed me the phone and my eyes went wide at the picture of my naked assistant in front of the mirror.

I gasped "Oh god," I deleted the texts and picture.

Okay, I'm guilty of fucking my assistant the past month but I put an end to it yesterday morning because I don't want anything that lasts over a month.

For the rest of the ride Lotus stayed quiet looking at her hands, she must think I'm using her which I kinda am but I left clear that we are friends with benefits, I don't have to be faithful to her but due to recent events with that Vegas jerk I get why she's upset.
