“Yup.” I smile as she quickly puts on the jacket. I wait until her seat belt is on again before driving into the portal. Everything is dark, but I don’t think Abby minds as she talks away.

“I want to go skating and snowboarding and skiing and make snowmen. Oh, and we can go sledding! Oh my!” she gasps as we drive out of the portal and into Falerin.

Right away, this place looks nothing like home. Normally, everything is green, but with the snow, it’s a winter wonderland.

Without stopping, I drive out of the portal compound and down the main road. Thankfully, where we’re staying is in the first town, only a few miles down the road.

Abby watches out her window, taking in all the snow-covered trees. “Noah, this place. It’s amazing!”

“It is.” I smile. It doesn’t take us long before I’m pulling off onto the road that leads to the cabin where we’re staying.

“I know I said this before, but oh my god, this is amazing!” Abby gushes as she takes in the cabin. “It’s so cute!”

“This is my family’s cabin. My mom bought it long before I was born. She and my dad would come here for special occasions. I remember them taking me here a few times when I was little. We never came back after she died, but I know my dad has been paying someone to look after the place. Mom left it to me, and I guess I never really thought to ask the guys to come with me. Not that I think our fathers would have allowed us, anyways. At least, not back then.”

“I’m honored.” She grabs my hand, lacing her fingers between mine. “I would have loved to meet her.”

I smile. “She would have loved you.”

“Show me around?”

I nod, deciding to be the one to make the next move. I go to kiss her on the cheek... only she moves her head at the last second and our lips meet. My body instantly heats up, and I pull her closer. She parts her lips and I waste no time slipping my tongue in and over hers. This is our first real kiss. I’ve been too nervous to try anything more than a peck on the cheek or head before now.

With the guys, everything is natural, comfortable. We’ve been together for years, but with Abby, it’s all new, and exciting. Don’t get me wrong, it’s exciting with the guys too, but this is different, but in an equally good way.

“We should go inside,” Abby says panting as she breaks the kiss.

“Okay.” I nod, panting just as hard. Speaking of hard, my cock is painfully stiff right now.

“But I want to do more of that later.” She pulls back, biting her lip.

“Yes, please.” I nod, making her giggle. Fuck, that sound is music to my ears.

Abby gets out and helps me bring the bags to the door. The place should already be unlocked and set up with everything we need for our stay.

“I love it,” Abby says, placing the bags on the ground as we enter the cabin.

“I do too. I know we have money, but Mom wanted something small and cozy.”

“It’s perfect,” Abby agrees, taking off her sneakers. I’m glad I bought her boots, because I don’t think she would have packed any.

“I was thinking we could get settled here, then we could get bundled up and take a snowmobile into town and grab some supper. Tomorrow, I have the whole day planned.”

“Sounds perfect.” I can’t get enough of that smile. I like seeing her happy. Knowing I’m the one who’s making her that way, fills me with pride.

“Let me show you around,” I offer, my eyes widening as she grabs my arm and hugs it. It takes me a moment before I start moving. “The living room and kitchen you saw when we walked in. This is one of the bedrooms.” I show her the spare one. “This is my parents room.” She takes a moment to look. “This is the bathroom.”

“Oh my god! A stone bathtub.”

“Thought you might like that.” I chuckle. “There’s also a hot tub out back.”

“We need to use that.” She gives me a cheeky smile.

“We will.” We continue to the end of the hall. “And this is my room.”

“This is very... you.” She laughs as we step inside. The room has thankfully been updated. I had someone do it a few years ago, just in case I wanted to come and stay. From what I remember, it was a room fit for a little boy, not a grown man.

“This is the first time I’ve been in it since I had someone update it.”
