Taylor’s POV
121Please respect copyright.PENANAqeAxmQuHZi
It took Jay twenty minutes, if not less to pack up our lives for a few weeks. He took the whole scenario seriously, folding and placing clothes in cases as I sat propped up on the bed watching him amazed. Images of a log cabin filling my brain, no longer thinking of the garage downstairs where I was attacked. He scooped me up in my silk lounge shorts and a camisole that I changed into and cradled me into his chest. Placing me in a Land Rover, buckled me in with the bags packed on the backseat and we left.

“I was going to say earlier; let's go to uni together tomorrow" I comment laughing at his expression of shock and horror. We're in the car together on the highway the lake house far behind us. Johnny cash on low and his hand on my knee.

The plan is to escape, in my best lounge wear, and enjoy being without worry for a few days at least. Jay strokes my bare leg and rests his hand there on my thigh.
121Please respect copyright.PENANA8DegTFjcEF
"No way, Taylor" he chuckles lightly.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAx1isp435kc
"You think that I would let you go into university tomorrow? Your mental health is so important. We both need to have a break. Not gonna happen." He laughs.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAijR6pKK7km
"I like this set. A lot" he smiles.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAwmor9j5w26
"You look so chill and sexy" he says touching the soft silky shorts.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAwUpzU1RVH3
"I'm so glad you're headstrong" I chuckle.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAVYVvyH2pd0
"I wouldn't really have gone to uni, I'd much rather hang out at a lodge with you" I laugh.
121Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZDLbTsmnR
"I don't know what I would do without you" I say to him glancing over and winking. Since we have left to go to the lodge my spirits have gone up. The idea of a hot tub outside looking over a lake and a glass of champagne somewhat cheers you up. Even after tragedy.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAKF1r9lTlBE
"When we get there, I will unpack. I've had dinner ordered to the lodge too so I want you to just relax and take in the scenery" he smiles.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAfKNFsOjNsz
"And maybe lay around in these little shorts" he laughs.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAsLsyfHSGj1
"Shorts your thing, Jay?" I laugh teasing him.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAXF4yAf4B0H
"You're my thing" he laughs.
121Please respect copyright.PENANARS0edPA3Dz
We head off of the interstate, we've been driving for around three hours. Way out of town, now Jay is cruising up a single lane track road. It's dark and if you look out of the window you can see the stars twinkling in the night sky. The moon beams down over our car and I breathe out a sigh of relief.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAC35MIw3Uj1
A deep breath which I hadn't realised I had been holding all of this time.
"Better already, when you can feel the warm air and smell the lake you will love it" he smiles over at me and I can see an excited gleam in his eyes. They're shining, like he is part of the twinkly stars and the glowing moon.
121Please respect copyright.PENANA1VtTY5vpxK
"You've been here before" I comment smiling catching onto his sense of excitement.
121Please respect copyright.PENANACWV5TLcNSN
"Only once." He laughs.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAL0DkX3XUh3
"But to a family lodge, with my mum and dad. Not to this particular one, that has a hot tub in the middle of nowhere" he smiles.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAGB4bjcohe8
We're making every effort to keep everything light and focus on the positives rather than why we're escaping.
121Please respect copyright.PENANA6OwYlObiOA
"Nearly there" he smiles over at me and I can't help but feel excited. The prospect of just me and him together in a lodge in the middle of nowhere excites me beyond belief. It’s practically impossible for me to be miserable around Jay.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAdv8B9rcxWW
We head up a small mound, with trees either side. Once we reach the peak Jay turns left and as I gaze out of the windscreen I can see a lake rippling in the distance. Beautiful inky water reflecting the moon.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAYD6Lh7ZMg9
"Look just into the distance, Taylor" he whispers.
121Please respect copyright.PENANADvR0mWP272
I glance at him and notice how he is concentrating and looking ahead. I follow his eye-line and see a building. A wooden lodge. Lit up and welcoming. It's the only one for miles. Facing the lake and I cannot wait to wake up and see the views tomorrow.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAvBkvHf0SRt
"That's our one" he smiles.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1tTVeyIS1
We drive up to the lodge and Jay parks out front. When I jump out of the car I take a deep breath of fresh air and smile looking up at the twinkling stars.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAWXvCLnWqFs
Jay walks around the car to join me and puts his arms around my waist.
121Please respect copyright.PENANACe9B4GlZOz
"I mean it" he whispers in my ear.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAgq7YGueovv
"This is our one" he says softly kissing my neck.
121Please respect copyright.PENANA8Fq9yubcEB
"Ours for a week" I say as he pulls me around to face him.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAkko9Mm6hYG
"Ours for more than just a week. Ours for all of the weeks and all of the months and years of the rest of our lives" he says staring into my eyes.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAZStccNPHci
I just stare at him unbelieving my arms wrapped around him.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAUSRWaxzDAm
"You bought a lodge" I say laughing slightly.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAe0bMOGuqX7
"I bought us a lodge" he laughs.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAaLDwQMjTsE
I kiss him intensely.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAP5OVXD2VWv
"I figure we can rent it out as a holiday home when we don't wanna use it" he says once he's caught his breath back.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAXNO3GXtzau
He picks me up and I straddle his waist. He laughs and walks with me up the wooden steps onto the decking. Holding onto my bum as he fiddles with the coded entry system. Scanning his code into the buzzer, quite a skill when you are also holding your fiancée.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAaTHajOe4ln
"The keys are inside as we are owners. The code refreshes so when we need to let others stay we can do that instead of giving them keys" he says simply, pleased with himself.
I stare into his eyes and smile. I can feel the heat between us instantly. He makes my world safe and happy and all of my worries are long forgotten around him. I push my hips slightly into him almost instinctively and he carries me over the threshold of our lodge.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAzcRGpEktnV
Wordlessly and without fully taking in the lodge and our new surroundings he pins me against the nearest wall. I pull at his belt and as he sets me down he pulls my little shorts off smiling.
121Please respect copyright.PENANA3PZk4BJepE
He picks me back up delicately and looks into my eyes, my thighs either side of him.
"I love you" he whispers and he's inside of me.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAvCNUs2QSxG
"I love you" I gasp as his thrusts push me into the wall.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAgfzcekyYyU
My hands clasping around his neck and holding onto him. He picks up his pace and I feel him inside of me. Pulling him into me and desiring his completion.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAaaVKbXvFRr
"Jay" I whisper as he looks at me his eyes burning into mine; lost and intense. Primal almost. I wipe his hair off of his face and he pulses into me slowly waiting for me to continue.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAQpwGGmxeJ9
"I want to have your babies" I say and I can't believe it's just left my mouth. I expect him to freak out but he takes me by surprise.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAarBiRZB4FI
"God" he says unable to control himself and I can feel him finishing inside of me. Intensely and urgently. Hammering into me as I too find my finish. It's a good job we're in a desolate location as we're loud. Louder than we've ever been before. I briefly wonder whether being in the wilderness had brought out our primal instincts and laugh a little.
121Please respect copyright.PENANA8Oz5kGOCRh
I look down and he's still inside of me holding onto my hips and kissing me. He looks into my eyes and I cannot even tell how much time has gone by since we finished.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAjfX7dJpsDm
"That was" he says breathless watching me.
121Please respect copyright.PENANA1yxD9jevnf
"I hope that was okay" I begin worrying that I’ve demanded too much. Put him off somehow. Demanded his whole life just because he bought us a lodge.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAJha7ylByHj
"To say that I mean" I add and he kisses me lifting me up and onto the sofa. A huge corner sofa facing a warm fire which we are yet to start. He wraps me up in the cosy wool blankets.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAt20J0D1Mu6
He's pulled shorts on and I admire his bare chest and the sheer physical perfection of him.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAq04jgxQ9oc
He kneels in front of me and I hold onto his strong forearms. He makes eye contact with me and I can see the same trusted expression on his face of awe.
121Please respect copyright.PENANACUsISIh4d1
"That was" he pauses and smiles.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAjUbsJgjEKi
"That was everything I've wanted and everything that I've wanted to hear you say" he says simply. He leans in kissing me on my lips.
121Please respect copyright.PENANATpC1PsyqFk
"Now I'm going get a fire going and some food" he says. His eyes briefly glancing at my lips before he heads over to the door to retrieve the firewood. My protector.
