Smiling at that, I grab my purse and leave him in the car as I duck inside the main lodge, which is a great big beautiful log cabin, a fire burning in the gigantic hearth. I quickly sign us in and get our room keys. A few minutes later, I pull up to our secluded log cabin, and park in the driveway.
“What a view,” Liam says.
I glance around. “Gorgeous.”
“Yeah, gorgeous.”
I turn back and find him looking at me, and fall just a little more for him, which is a huge surprise, because I’m not even sure that’s possible. “Let’s go check it out.”
We exit my car, and I walk to the truck, where I pull out a bag containing clothes and things for both of us.
“I guess you had this all planned out, didn’t you?” We take the two small steps to the door, and I slide in the key. The door opens to showcase a rustic yet cozy cabin with a fireplace, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, and a gorgeous view of the mountain. On the table sits a birthday cake in the shape of a hockey stick, and balloons are tied to the chair. He turns to me.
“Is this what all those secret phone calls were about?”
I shrug one shoulder. “Maybe.”
“Get over here.” He pulls me to him, and my body meshes against his as he gives me a very passionate kiss that tells me just how much he likes his surprise. He breaks the kiss and pushes my hair from my shoulders. “I can’t believe you arranged all this. It must have been a lot of trouble.”
“No trouble at all. Just a few, or many, phone calls.” I chuckle. “How about a slice of cake?”
“Sounds good, as long as I can follow it with a taste of you.”
“Come on, let’s light the candle and you…” I tap him on the nose. “can make a birthday wish.” We step up to the cake, and I fish a lighter from my purse.
He laughs. “You really thought of everything. Wait, how come there’s only one candle?”
“Because this is a log cabin, and we don’t want to burn it down. You’re not a teenager anymore, Liam.”
He laughs. “I’m only thirty, and you’re not too far behind.”
I light the candle, stand behind him and wrap my arms around his waist. “Don’t forget to make a wish when you blow it out.” I hold him tight, and put my head on his strong back, closing my eyes and making my own wish and hoping his is the same. His back expands as he takes in a big breath and lets it out in a puff.
I let him go, and he throws his arm around me. “What did you wish for?” I ask.
“Come on, you know as well as I do that I can’t tell you. It won’t come true if I do.”
“You’re right, don’t tell me.” I step away and find two plates and a knife. “I want all your wishes to come true.” I set the plates on the table, and glance at Liam. His head is angled, and his eyes are a darker shade of brown as he looks at me.
“You really do, don’t you?”
“Of course, I do.”
He shakes his head. “I’ve never met a woman quite like you.” I open my mouth, but he holds his hand up to stop me. “That’s a good thing.”
“You know what else is a good thing?”
“What?”
“This double chocolate cake. I’ve been salivating since ordering it last week.”
He takes the knife from me. “Then let’s not keep you waiting another second.” He cuts a generous piece, and I grab the champagne from my bag.
I hold it up. “
How about some bubbly on the deck? The view is too good not to enjoy.”
“It might be a bit cold.”
