rolled in gentle swells.
“Wow… This is your place?”
Mark glanced over at her. “It’s my family’s place. We all come up here occasionally, but right now, my parents are in Scotland and my brothers both have jobs and families that keep them busy.”
Getting out of the car, they grabbed the bags of food and clothing. It took a second for him to balance his bags and get the door unlocked. Standing on the deck as the brisk mountain air blew across the hilltop, Erica shivered. He saw her shake in his peripheral vision.
“Come on inside. I’ve got just the thing to warm you up.”
He chuckled as her gaze darkened, and she licked her lips. “That too, but I was thinking more along the lines of starting a fire and cooking a nice hot meal.”
They carried the groceries inside, and he went out to collect a supply of firewood from under the deck. The next order of things was to get dinner started. He dug out the pans and set the oven to pre-heat. It wasn’t long before the delicious aromas of chicken parmesan filled the air of the great room. He looked up as Erica kneeled down in front of the fireplace, striking a match to the tinder. She stared into the large stone opening, watching the flickering flames. The burning fragrance from the evergreen filled the space, and he inhaled deeply.
The light and shadows of the flames danced across Erica face. She looked incredibly beautiful.
What is she thinking about?
He thought he detected a slight blush on her cheeks, but maybe that was a trick of the light.

Could she be reliving our times spent together so far? Is she fantasising about how it will feel when we finally make love ?
The thought of Erica fantasising about how it would feel to have his cock slide deep into her hot pussy or imaging taking him deep into her throat instantly made his head swim, and his jeans grew even tighter than they had already been. He’d been hard for the last ten miles of their trip. As they’d gotten nearer to the cabin, he’d felt his blood pumping furiously down to his cock as his anticipation had grown. At this point, he would have the outline of the buttons on his jeans permanently imbedded in the skin.
He was so caught up in his thoughts and watching her that he burned his finger on the hot pan of sauce simmering on the stove. Cursing at his own distractibility, he went over to the sink to run cool water over the slight abrasion.
Turning his head over his shoulder, he called out, “Why don’t you carry your bag up to the room and get settled? Dinner should be ready in about twenty minutes.”
“Where would you like me to put my things?”
“The second bedroom to the right of the stairs.”
Walking upstairs, Erica pushed open the door to the second room to find a large master suite. It was spacious and had French doors leading onto an upper level balcony. The bed was a massive cherry-wood four-poster with cubed posts, transverse beams and a stretched white canopy with streamers running down the length of the posts. An overstuffed chaise lounge sat beside a second stone fireplace. This one appeared to be gas fuelled. A large three-door wardrobe that matched the bed stood against one wall. Looking to her left, she saw two doorways. One opened into a huge walk-in closet her whole bathroom would have fit into, and the other led to the master bath. The slate-tiled floor in the bathroom was offset by the warm honey-beige walls. The room came complete with a multi-jet steam shower, a Jacuzzi tub big enough for three, and pedestal sinks.
Feeling certain Mark had made a mistake as to which room she was assigned, she placed her bag inside the door but did not unpack.
As she walked back down the stairs, she caught his warm gaze as he stood at the bottom with a glass of wine for each of them.
“I thought we’d eat in front of the fire if it’s okay with you.”
