Chapter 16

Hallie

Snowcapped mountains surround us as far as the eye can see, and I literally can’t tear my eyes away. It makes me wish I had thought of coming here before now, yet it seems like if he hadn’t offered to bring me I probably would’ve never found out this place existed.

Damien says we will be staying at his family’s cabin here in Breckenridge, which seemingly is in the mountains. That’s probably the one thing making me nervous, I’ve never driven in the snow, and I don’t want to start now. I also don’t think I can trust another person with my life when it comes to it, even though I can tell he has driven in the snow plenty of times just by the control he has over this truck as we go up in elevation.

The winding roads are putting me on the verge of a panic attack, which I never thought would’ve happened, but I find myself holding my breath with every single curve. Maybe it’s because some of these roads don’t even have rails to protect us from the drop, or perhaps the elevation is fucking with my head. Probably both. Either way, I’m ready to get to the house, I’m so tired.

It’s been a crazy day, beginning with the fact that I just got on a plane with a man I don’t know that well… and I’m going to be spending two weeks with him. Am I crazy for that? Also, the airport was seriously stressful and even if I wasn’t the one being an asshole to anyone who dared to breathe in my direction, I could relate to Damien’s irritability. Then lastly, the way Damien stared at me when we were sitting together in the airplane, and how he fell asleep on me and used me as a pillow for two hours of the flight.

We drive up to a circular driveway, stopping short due to the snow that has accumulated on the ground. It looks like at least two feet of snow, and the truck slides slightly as Damien engages the emergency brake.

“It’ll be just a second,” he tells me, then gets out of the truck and slams the door behind him. I hear him opening the bed of the car and getting something out, then there’s a brief scraping sound before he closes it back up.

There’s a large shovel in his hand, what I’m assuming is a snow shovel, and he begins to pick up the snow and pile it up on the side. Momentarily distracted by his nice ass, I realize I haven’t even looked at the house yet. It’s a gorgeous two-story log cabin with large windows and multiple decks, and it looks like we’re facing the side of the house with sliding glass doors surrounded by stone.

Not at all what I was expecting.

The place is ridiculously big, and as he clears up the snow and reveals the circular driveway, I realize he didn’t make a spot to park in front of the three garage doors.
