Assassin [18+]

When the snow falls

§Morgana Acampora§

"When do you know if you'll marry Cassian?" he asked as we walked uphill.

"I don't know," I shrugged watching my step since this trail is steep; either he didn't read more of it or he thinks I'm an experienced hiker which is not the case. Good thing sex is cardio so there's that on my side. "Don't you think we are both wearing the wrong outfits for such a steep trail?"

"Don't be such a pussy, it's not that steep," he chuckled looking forward.

I stopped and looked over my shoulder at the road we've walked which is not much, the car is still visible "Eros!"

"What?" He turned around slipping his hands in the pockets of his coat.

"I've never gone on a hike before! We are both wearing the wrong clothes and it says there," I pointed at a sign "that the trail is steep and not for rookies!"

The man approached me and read the sign "I thought you liked danger."

"This is not dangerous, this is having a death wish especially with the snow," my eyes found his' "let's find an easier trail. It's not like Aspen doesn't have millions of them."

He rolled his eyes "Fine."

"Good," I took a step forward and fell on my ass. "Fuck," I groaned at the pain.

Eros burst into laughter "Yeah, we better get out of here before you cut your foot off with a wildflower," the man gripped my arms to pull me up.

"Shut up," I growled patting the snow off my coat.

Once in the car I googled easy hiking trails in Aspen and found one by the name of Smuggler Road Mountain which has a trail to a Picnic area and other to an overlook so we are going there. It looks easy and peaceful. The drive was under 10 minutes in which Eros had his window down as he smoked a cigarette which looked pretty sexy so I took a picture of him. He noticed and seemed to like it since the man smiled at me.

"Going to hang it above your bed and masturbate looking at it?" he's blunt and cocky.

I chuckled "It was just going to be an artistic photograph, maybe send it to you on Christmas Day with a black and white filter but that's a better idea."

Eros chuckled "You can always come to me for good ideas."

"I'll keep that in mind."

After parking the car, he looked in the trunk of the car for something and came back to the front with ice trekkers attached to his boots; why didn't he do this at the other trail? Did he know I would quit? Probably.

"Come on," he grabbed my left wrist as he walked past me.

"If I trip again you have to carry me," I said looking at his god-sculptured ass.

"Fair deal," he glanced at me over his shoulder "what are you looking at, Ms. Acampora?"

"Just making sure you're watching your step," my eyes were still on his ass because it's just too great of a view.

"You might just be my new bodyguard," he said and suddenly I bumped into his back.

I was back on the floor, on my ass...again. "Fuck!" I groaned.

Eros squatted down in front of me "How can you take care of me if you're not taking care of yourself?"

"Well, your life is more important than mine, Mr. Iacovone," I replied looking into his eyes with a smile. "That's what you don't pay me to do."
