Lily wakes me up in the morning at 5 am. We are dressed and loading into the car while it's still dark outside. It's a 6-hour drive and Lily wants to get there before noon. Her parents went up last night to make sure everything is ready for when we arrive. Lily drives for the first 2 hours, then we stop to get food and a bathroom break. I offer to drive for a bit and Lily hands me the keys.
About 3 hours later, Lily is about ready to pee her pants. "Okay, you need to find a rest stop. I'm literally going to explode!" Lily whines. "Chill, GPS says there's one right up here. Hold it for 2 more minutes." I laugh. "I don't know if I can do that. Pretty sure if I try to walk at this point, my blatter will just give out." "So dramatic," I chuckle at her. I see the sign for the rest stop and veer off the highway. I find a parking spot and Lily all but runs inside. I get out behind her and walk in. As Lily is using the bathroom, I browse the store for snacks and drinks for the last hour of the ride. I notice a gift card for a restaurant Lily's parents like and realize I didn't get them anything in my last minute decision to come with Lily. Just as I'm picking up one marked $100 Lily comes up behind me. "Oh, good idea. For my parents right? I didn't get them anything yet. Grab two, I'll pay for one." she says. "You haven't gotten your own parents a gift yet?" I laugh at her. She shrugs and moves to the cashier. Lily instantly starts flirting with him. That's one thing Lily shares with her brother. They're both serial flirters. But while Lily is more bubbly and does it innocently, Kaleb could make any women fall in love with him with just a few words and a flash of his perfect smile. It's ungodly how women fall at his feet like that. I mean, I see the appeal, he's undeniably hot, but I know his mind games. They stopped working on me a long time ago. Although, I haven't seen him since before my junior year of high school, just over 3 years ago. He had moved away from home and told his parents he needed to get away. Lily and I pay for our stuff and Lily winks at the poor guy behind the cash, making him turn 5 shades of red. We walk out and Lily has a big smile on her face. Lily is very pretty, she can get away with things like that. She has long blonde hair like her mom, with bright green eyes that you could stare at all day. She's so bubbly and friendly, she can make you feel at ease with just her smile. She can make even an introvert like me comfortable in any situation. That's why we became best friends. Her parents used to call us day and night. She's all bright and sunny as the day and I'm dark and mysterious like the night, they would say. It fit how we look as well. Where Lily has light hair, my hair is a deep brown that hangs just past my shoulders. Lily loves bright colors and fun patterns, while I stick to darker solid colored clothes. Lily loves to express herself with bright makeup, and I rarely ever wear any makeup. I turn to Lily. "You made that guy fall in love with you with just a few words." I laugh "Oh please," she rolls her eyes, "it was just a few compliments." She laughs and holds out her hand. "I'll drive the rest of the way. GPS doesn't always show the right turns closer to the cabin." I hand over the keys and we load into the car. ------------------------------ About an hour later, we're pulling into the gravel driveway of the cabin. I see Lily's dad's truck parked off to the side. Lily parks the car beside the truck and we get out. I open the trunk and we take our bags out. It's pretty cold here, the cabin is built right on the side of a mountain. The view is breathtaking from the porch at the back of the house. It looks over the valley below. There's nothing around for miles. Lily and I drove through the closest town not long after leaving the rest stop. It's about 45 minutes back the way we came. If we need anything over the next 2 weeks, that's where we'll need to go. "Girls! You made it!" Lily's mom, Diane, came to the front door to greet us. She has always been like a second mom to me. She leads us inside to the warmth. She wraps us in a hug before smiling with a warm smile. The cabin has lots of memories here. While I have never spent a Christmas here with Lily and her family, I have come up almost every summer since I was about 10. It's a lot different in the winter, but just as beautiful and surprisingly, much warmer, due to the raging fire in the large fireplace. I look around the living room of the cabin and spot Lily's dad, Mark, sitting on the couch with a book in his hand. "Hey dad!" Lily says happily, walking over to him. He looks up from his book. "Hello ladies. You two made good time. Drive went well, I assume?" Mark stands to wrap his daughter in a tight hug, before coming to me to do the same. "Yep, almost no traffic and we only had to make two stops. We also switched out diving because sleepy head still needed some extra z's in the car." Lily nods her head to me. "Hey, you fell asleep when I was driving, so don't even try to blame me!" I laugh. "Only because you insist on listening to that boring podcast," Lily groans. "True crime isn't boring. It's calming and educational," I retort. "Calming?!" You're literally psycho." Lily looks at me with wide eyes before we both burst out in laughter. Mark and Diane just shake their heads and chuckle at us. "Riley dear, you can take Kaleb's room. He unfortunately won't be joining us this Christmas." Diane says to me. "Thanks," I say. Lily and I grab our bags and head upstairs. The cabin has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. A small bathroom with just toilet and sink on the main floor, and a bigger bathroom with a shower on the second floor. The master bedroom is for Lily's parents, the other two bedrooms are for Lily and Kaleb. I've never actually been inside Kalebs room. He always kept it locked growing up. He didn't want Lily and I sneaking in and messing things up. Lily goes into her room and I go for Kaleb's. I open the door and the smell hits me at once. Holy shit. I forgot Kaleb's cologne smelled so good. I look around the room and it look's very much like what Kaleb does. He has dark gray walls, plush black sheets on the queen size bed that pushed to the corner, a black shag carpet next to the bed. There is a desk in the corner by the door I just walked in. I look to my right and I see a door. I assume that is the closet and go to it. I open the door and am greeted by Kaleb's clothes. Not a lot, just some swimming stuff and a few extra shirts and pants, just in case. I place my suitcase down on the ground and open it up. I take out my toiletry bag and bring it to the desk by the door. I then turn back and look around the room again. That bed looks so comfortable, I could fall asleep right now. I walk over to it and flop down on my stomach. Shit, it's softer than it looks. These sheets are like clouds. One of the pillows that were leaning against the wall fall off the bed and I look up to where it can from to see my refection staring back at me. I move the rest of the pillows to reveal a mirror the length of the head of the bed attached to the wall. It's level to the bed and I'm left wondering why Kaleb would have a mirror instead of a headborad. I shake my head and roll over. I look up to see another mirror in the ceiling. What the fuck? Is Kaleb so obsessed with himself that he needs to see himself at all times? Weirdo.I can't sleep looking at myself like that. I'm going to have to turn myself away from both mirrors.I get up to leave to room and look for Lily.Three days later, Lily and I are hanging out in the enclosed part of the back porch with cups of tea, just enjoying the evening sunset. "Wanna go in the hot tub? Dad cleaned it out and finished treating it last night so it should be ready for us to go in now," Lily says to me. "Uh sure, but I didn't bring a bathing suit," I say. "I'm sure there's one here from last summer you might've left. Let's go check my room." Lily stands with her mug and goes inside. I follow soon after, placing my empty mug in the kitchen before heading upstairs. Lily's room is very similar to hers at home and our dorm, very pastel. Her favorites are purple, pink, and orange, so her room wherever she lives is filled with the colors. Lily opens her dresser drawer and pulls out a dark purple bathing suit. "This is yours, isn't it? My boobs are way too small to f
Lily notices he's looking at me."Oh? You don't have a crush anymore, huh?" Lily snickers."It's not like that. I fell asleep in a sweater-" I start"My sweater," Kaleb says."Yeah, whatever. After the hot tub, I was exhausted and I just crawled into the bed wearing only the sweater and I woke up to him feeling me up." I narrow my gaze at Kaleb."Oh my god! You guys have my full permission to go at it. By all means, I've been looking forward to it since we were literally kids." Lily gushes."Lily!" I say through my teeth, my eyes wide."Oh right. We're still mad at the cheating dickhead. Got it. Not time yet." Lily tries to hold back her smirk.I huff and shake my head, pushing passed them both and head for the stairs. This is going to be a long Christmas break.Diane and Mark were shocked this morning when Kaleb came down the stairs. I don't know what made him come up, but it made Lily and her parents happy. Kaleb took every chance he got to look in my direction and annoy me for th
I can't believe I let myself get carried away with him. I'm so angry. With Kaleb, but mostly myself. I thought I had gotten over him. But I don't seem to have any self-control around him. I can't let this happen again. I sneak into Lily's bedroom quietly. I get changed and climb into her queen bed beside her. I can't stop the tears from silently falling and I don't know how long I lay like that before I fall asleep.The next morning, Lily wakes me up early. She literally pulls me out of the bed by my arm and starts stripping the bed down. "What the hell are you doing? And why do you need to do it this early?" I ask. "Well, grumpy pants. I got my period, so I'm taking the sheets off to wash them. Unless you want to keep sleeping in them?" Lily asks while laughing. "Nope, I'm good. Thanks for waking me." I say quickly and flop down in a chair she has in her room. Lily leaves the room and comes back a second later. "I didn't come prepared for my period, so I'm going to have to go
I can feel the blush creep up on my cheeks and I fight to keep a straight face. Did Kaleb just say that to me? He just threatened to fuck the bratty attitude out of me. Oh, if only he knew how badly I really want to be a brat and tell him to prove it. But we can't do that now. I can't even think about that right now. We have to figure something out. "Kaleb. We need to figure a way out of here. We are trapped." I say calmly, trying not to show him how turned on he has me. I need to focus. "We can't do anything, Ry. The snow is too heavy. We just have to wait it out. Someone will come." Kaleb says as he walks out of his room. I follow him out and stop at the stairs. Kaleb heads for the bathroom. "I don't think the water is working if the electricity is out." Kaleb turns on the tap and looks at me with a smirk as water flows from the tap. "Water pipes are underground, Ry. They wouldn't be disturbed by an avalanche." Kaleb says as he opens the cupboard and pulls out
After our hot makeout session, Kaleb and I went back to the bathroom and showered again, which resulted in a few more makeouts and orgasms. Once we were finally cleaned and dressed, we went down to the kitchen. Kaleb fiddled with the radio to see if he could hear anything while I looked for some food. I didn't want to open the fridge so that the food stayed cold and didn't spoil, so I found some bread and made peanut butter sandwiches. When I was done, Kaleb finally found a mostly clear station talking about the damage from the earthquake in the surrounding areas. They urge everyone in the affected avalanche areas to stay inside. As if we could leave if we wanted to. I put the sandwiches down in front of Kaleb and go to sit beside him, but he pulls me into his lap before I get the chance. I make a little yelp from the surprise and look at Kaleb. He smirks and kisses my neck. "I just want you close to me." He says, his breath on my neck. "Sitting next to you isn't clo
Last night, I agreed to be Kaleb's and he ravished my body until I couldn't take it anymore. He didn't lie when he said I'd be begging him to stop. The fire had gone out some time while we were sleeping and I was freezing when I woke up. I'm glad we have the thermal sleeping bags. We had arranged the blankets and pillows into a makeshift bed on the floor next to the fire. I stand up out of the sleeping bag and I regret wearing shorts and a tank top to bed. It's so cold. I grab a throw blanket off the couch and wrap it around me as I run upstairs to Lily's room. I open my suitcase and pull out thick sweatpants, fluffy socks, and a wool sweater. I throw them on and feel warmer, but it's still very cold in here. We need to get the fire started again. I grab the blanket and head back downstairs just as Kaleb is sitting up from the floor. He's shirtless and I can see all his muscles on display. "Shit, it's fucking cold in here." I hear Kaleb mutter, "Riley!" he calls for me. "I'm ri
I close my eyes, just taking in everything that just happened. I feel Kaleb move off of me, kissing my nose as he gets up."Come on beautiful. Let's go get cleaned up. We don't know when someone will be here to get us out today, so we should be ready." Kaleb holds out his hand for me to take. I grab it and he helps me up. Kalebs wraps a blanket around me and we head upstairs. I hope someone comes for us today. It's starting to get really cold in here and the food supply won't last much longer. I guess all we can do is wait.But no one came. It's been five days since we talked to Lily and her parents. Mark had said there would be a team going out the next morning. But no one showed up. What if the cabin is too buried? What if they can't find us? We'll freeze in here. It's already so cold. We have to wear full winter gear in here. Hats, gloves, boots, and everything. It doesn't feel much different than the outside felt before the avalanche. Kaleb and I are sitting in front of the fire
I wake up in a hospital bed. I don't remember falling asleep or how long I've been here. I have warm blankets around me and I feel a hand in mine. I look down and I see a mess of blonde hair lying next to me. "Lily?" I croak out. Lily lifts her head and looks at me. "Oh my god, you're awake! Thank god! Are you feeling okay? Do you want water or anything?" Lily is talking a mile a minute. "Water would be nice." I say quietly. Lily nods and grabs a cup off the table and holds the straw for me to sip. The water feels good on my dry throat. I lay my head back down and thank her as she sits back down. "How long was I asleep for?" I ask. "You fell asleep on the helicopter ride and that was two nights ago. You've been in and out every couple of hours since then, but not for long." Lily explains. I nod as I look around the room. "Where is everyone?" "My parents are just grabbing lunch. They'll be back soon." "And Kaleb?" I ask. Lily looks down at her h
1 Year Later...Kaleb kisses down my neck to my breasts. I can't help the moan that comes from my mouth. He knows exactly what I like. "Yes, baby girl. I want to hear how good you feel under my touch." Kaleb whispers against my skin. "Kaleb, I love you. Please, I need you." I say breathlessly. Kaleb kisses me softly on the lips. "I'll show you how much I love you," he says in a soft, whispery voice. I rush of heat flows through my body at his words and I can't take it anymore. I need him. Kaleb positions himself at my entrance. His eyes are dark and full of love. He eases himself into me and I close my eyes in pleasure. We both start to move together as our moans fill the room. I put my hands on his back, feeling his muscles move. I pull him closer to me. Kaleb starts to thrust harder, knowing exactly what I want. "Mm, yes Kaleb," I moan out as a wave of pleasure flows through my body as I feel my orgasm coming closer. "You like th
I left the hospital 4 days ago. We still haven't heard anything about Kaleb. I'm sick to my stomach thinking about him out there all alone. We are supposed to be leaving today. Mark and Diane don't want Lily and I to stay here. They want us to at least go back home and stay at their house. I can't even think about anything else right now. I feel empty, like a piece of me is gone. Diane is getting a rental car to drive us home today, while Mark stays here to wait to see if they find Kaleb. I wanted to stay. "Riley, are you all packed?" Diane asks me. "I don't have much. Just the clothes you bought me. It's all in that backpack." I point to the backpack across the room. Diane picks it up and leaves the room with it. Lily comes into the room from outside. "We're leaving in a minute. Dad is going to drop us off at the rental car place and we'll transfer all of our stuff into the car. Are you ready to leave?" "No." I say, looking up at the ceiling. "I know
