194 Isolated (1/2)

As they travelled further away from the airport, she could no longer see any houses. It seemed Alex was really bringing her to an isolated place.

After more than an hour's drive, the car stopped in front of another seemingly old mansion.

It was another three storey mansion, much like the mansion Alex lived in, but this one looked more like a fairytale house come to life, especially in this snow-covered setting. Stone walls made up the foundation of the walls, with wooden walls making up the second layer. The A-frame, wooden windows were lined with lights, clearly distinguishing their outlines. The shine of the lights combined with the snow gave the house a type of glow that made it seem mysterious.

”The lights are on,” she uttered as she looked up, curious, since the man told her they were going somewhere where no one was around but them.

”There are some people inside. Caretakers, and cooks,” he answered. ”Come, I know you're tired. We'll rest here for a while.”

”Eh? This isn't our destination yet?” Abi's big eyes widened. She thought this was it, the isolated place he was talking about.

”Not yet, Abigail. I told you, I don't want any other people around. That place will only have the two of us.”

Alex held her hand and brought her inside. As Abi looked around the spacious, hotel-like living room, she could only marvel. Was this house Alex's too? Or just an isolated hotel?

While Alex was speaking with a man, seemingly giving instructions, Abi looked around and realized that this might really be Alex's. Well, the aesthetics, the presence of a fireplace and the setting gave her the same feeling of home, of belonging when she was at Alex's house.

When Alex walked over to her, he led her inside a room on the third floor. Abi removed her thick coat and shoes and let herself fall on top of the fluffy bed.

Alex did the same and he sat right next to her.

”How do you feel?” he asked, looking intensely at her.

Abi stared back at him before her lips curved up into a sweet smile, because for some reason, it didn't seem hard to do this. Even though she knew something painful was waiting at the end of this trip, at this moment, she was glad that she could still feel genuinely happy. She was glad because it seemed like it was possible for them to forget about everything right now and just look at each other and spend these remaining days to their hearts content, happily.

”I feel wonderful, Alex,” she answered, her eyes glimmered as she rose and hug him. ”It doesn't seem that hard, forgetting about everything else being in this place.”

Alex was relieved. He pinched her chin and stared at her lips. His thumb caressed her lower lip and then before they knew it, they were kissing. 'I will make you forget everything, Abigail… I'll make sure of it…' he told her in his mind as their kiss became deeper.

They were both breathless once their lips parted. Their gazes, intense and their skin, hot.

The next moment, Abi lay on the bed and Alex was on top of her. His tongue skillfully played tag with hers, tasting every corner of her delicious mouth.

They didn't stop kissing for a long moment. It was like they've been so hungry for each other since they parted, like all the chains had been broken and they were kissing without restraints, like they had finally let themselves completely get lost in each other's worlds. Their kiss slowly intensified, from slow and passionate to wild, intense kisses.

Alex's hand began to wander around her body. His hands slipped under her top roaming and caressing her warm skin, causing Abi to moan against his ravenous tongue.

His little monster had long been standing tall and proud, now grinding naughtily into Abi's groin.

Their lips parted again, their eyes both looking glazed, intoxicated, lost in pleasure. But before Alex could resume, a knock startled them.
