"Do you know why it's called Maroon bells" I ask Jay. We've taken a small break to admire the view and mostly for me to get my legs working again.
Who knew hiking was such a killer on your thighs ?
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvKb7MVvIl
"Yea" he says smiling at me irresistibly
"When you grow up with a father who finds a fact for every moment you tend to collect a lot of general stupid knowledge" he snorts.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5joTNQDXLb
"The mudstone rock is responsible for the maroon part of the name because of the red colour and the bells part was connected to some accident that happened but we won't go into that now" he says.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS5EIs1WyY
I grab my phone and snap a picture of our current view.
"Here" he says gesturing for the phone.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3IY0xWHnp
"You are not escaping photographic evidence in those boots" he laughs snapping a pic of me.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1pV0zLFf6
We begin walking again. Me following him through the trails. After a while he begins his song again and I start to wish I could play guitar along with him. However the mud is pretty slippy and I would probably fall holding the guitar and playing at the same time. I glance down at my boots and I'm thankful for his forethought when I see the mud all up the sides of them.

I hum along with him instead. I look at the amount he's carrying and marvel at his strength walking with it all on his back. He’s removed his shirt and is hiking topless. He stops shortly. And I hear water ahead.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJYYST8Vpe
I peer over his shoulder and see the view of the lake accompanied by a large moose.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih6ye9YsNB
"We shouldn't approach it" he says
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUsOpQoMDJ
"It's wonderful" I say taken aback by its sheer size.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xE2Uj6FD5
"There's bears too" he snickers upon looking at my expression.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL4hbQNLGG
"Black bears, we will be fine" he says.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlG51olNfl
We continue walking in step. I make sure to place my feet carefully each time having slipped several times already.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqljNP21rV
"We're heading to a campsite, we'll set up there. But first shall we get a picture at the top" he smiles back at me. And I must look a state, hot and muddy. Yet he still looks at me with devotion.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrMAndBQrZ
"Are we there yet" I smile at him.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yZhQzg0gf
He laughs, complete belly laughs. Glances at the top of the mountain and then back at me.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm9C60U35B
"Not a chance, we'll need to sleep all night and then aim for the top tomorrow." He says turning back to the trail and continuing on.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PZ7z91vR1
"I know of a great view though and I wanna take you there" he calls back and I can just imagine his wide smile.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANwyzkIOPz
We walk for what feels like hours, I'm distracted by his song and occasionally I sing along with him. I take in my surroundings to the full. No phones or distractions.
"I need to tell you this is both the most exhaustive and enthralling experience I have ever had" I say laughing.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGg6Ht2U10
He laughs turns around to face me.
"Want a break" he says smiling.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFblW9byI4
"No let's plow on" I tell him and he kisses me.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOvfdR0hZU
"You're doing exceptionally well" he says
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjuXjzbvFj
"We're about 10 minutes out" he calls back to me. The excitement I his voice evident.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8Q1tfT5R0
Eventually after what feels like hours he stops and just stares ahead. At first I worry that we're lost until I stand next to him and see the view.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufacArWpAr
"Maroon lake" he explains and he's breathless just like me.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrLKJtzqdV
With the peaks in the background, the water glistening below. I listen to the water, the calls of the wildlife and I breathe in the air. I turn to face him and his eyes are glistening.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaol3bcVhHH
"Taylor" he says with eyes full of emotion.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqSCFLTkNX
"I am going to spend the rest of my life with you" he says and he grasps both sides of my face delicately. He says it almost as if he's just convinced himself that this is happening. That this is real. I've said yes and we are going to be together forever, just us.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkVrB9qCov
"I could not be more happy to say that" he says and tears stream down both of our cheeks.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg13bFYC723
"I love you with every single bone in my body" he says and he kisses me.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPkHWXLdAD
When he pulls back he looks at me in both of my eyes. And a wide smile spreads over his face. He grasps his phone out of his jeans pocket and turns it on us. He snaps a few pics of us.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca35R5wUxS
"I'm gonna send them to my parents including my dad" he laughs
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrQbFL0D53
"Taylor you have done the impossible" he says laughing whilst typing out a message to his father.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfGldko4KX
"What? made you contact your father?" I say laughing.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrbWCmiL3i
"No you made our relationship better somehow; he's more contactable" he laughs.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNjqFCoxZ9
"I've just put; we're in aspen and we got a lodge" he says laughing.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5hoJxR2hP
"He will ask for all of the details." He says.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb17gBFjAq
He pockets his phone and turns back to me. I kiss him whilst holding my phone up to take a pic of us with the peaks in the background.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lE9c7S0Ht
"I'm gonna post this one, to my mum but also to social media" I say smiling.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzpL0NPXZR
I upload it with the caption: Aspen + Jay = happiness. Call me corny but I like it.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu2uFJAkrz
"The plan is to watch the sunset from camp, cosy by a fire so on the way there we're gonna collect some sticks" he smiles
"Are you ready for your payback by the way" he says.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ1VxNHMwS
"What payback" I laugh and bite my lip. I know he's going to touch me I can see it in his stare. And I also know that he means for touching him in the cafe, I have to hear him say it.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7utYwy8mJT
"Hand job in a cafe, seriously hot" he says softly once he's close to me.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVlBNO69YL
"I want you" he says in my ear
"Now" he smiles and his hand slips under my dress quickly swiping my panties to the side.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAxEyGwgbU
"You are always ready for me" he whispers in my ear. He picks me up so I'm straddling him and carries me over to a more secluded spot. He sets me down hiking my dress up slightly.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88TtJqwtR8
He kisses down my chest pulling my dress down slightly at the top and paying my nipples lots of attention with his tongue.
"You drive me crazy" he says kissing down my tummy.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmOdsjYlJ1
He pauses at my lower tummy kissing it before hooking his arms around my hips. He kisses around my hips, just light kisses. All over my hips, all over my inner thighs. I push my hips up waiting for him to lick me.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvjW6ayfHl
"What would you like Taylor?” he asks me smiling.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m7iV9N1nz
"Jay" I moan.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1acqpssMI
"Taylor" he says kissing me again lightly on my clit
"Would you like this" he says and then he slowly runs his tongue over me.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGTV67Hf0H
I moan and he smiles.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ur56bvkMB
"Shhh" he says softly.
"Baby you taste so fucking good" he says running his tongue over me again.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW2ngiTaZn
He continues with his tongue and I feel myself getting close. My hands in his hair as I'm calling out his name.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3E3qEXSzZ
"Grind into me" he says softly. I'm beginning to think that he loves doing this; and that I am the luckiest women alive. I do as I'm told. I grind into him and it takes me all the way.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oiH4gYDFY
"Yes, beautiful" he says as I'm mid orgasm.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaD5VKyDoW
"Jay" I say as I'm finishing.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9WvnuMgf6
I finish gasping and grabbing at his hair.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZV9gR4mCc
"We're square again" he says with a smile. He places my panties back on and smooths out my dress very smug with himself.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY1C7wI34t
When he stands he extends his hand and helps me up. We follow our trail to the campsite and I begin thinking about the food and the comforting fire before we have even got there.
