The rustic two-story cabin is built on private property with no one around us for miles. We’re surrounded by lush greenery and the sky. A rich, earthy scent, full of nature, and a serene atmosphere.
My heart beats faster when a beautiful, full-of-awe smile stretches across Iris’s face. “Like? I love it, Kian. It’s so gorgeous.”
“You haven’t seen it all yet.”
“What are we waiting for then? Show me, love.”
The driver, who went to put our belongings inside, walks back out. After thanking him and offering a hefty tip, I grab Iris’s hand again and lead her down the cobblestone path.
“Gosh! It’s so quiet here.” She sighs. “I swear I can hear the birds chirping. Even the air here is fresh.”
“You’re a captive’s dream, Rainbow,” I tease. “If a cabin in the woods has you gushing like this.”
“As long as the captor is you, Mr. Singhania.”
“Such a flirt.”
“You love it.”
“I do.” My restraint snaps and I give in to the urge, picking her up bridal style. She squeals before the sweet sound dissolves into a sexy giggle as she wraps an arm around my neck.
I climb the short flight of stairs to the porch. Nudging the wooden door open with my shoulder, I cross the threshold and gently place her on her feet.
It’s an open-plan interior with the kitchen and dining area to our left and the living room with a fireplace in front of an L-shaped couch to our right.
What mesmerizes Iris as she steps farther to the center is the glass wall on the opposite end, leading into the back porch. Beyond it is a big, beautiful lake with the backdrop of mountains and tall trees.
Iris’s small hands fly to her mouth as she sucks in a sharp breath. Without sparing me a glance and drawn to the view, she runs to the sliding door, opens it, and steps outside.
Her reaction says everything. She loves the place.
Smiling, I follow after her.
When I enter the back porch with a set of Adirondack chairs lined up and a coffee table, I chuckle as I notice her near the lake. It didn’t take her long to find the set of stairs in the corner. Strolling to the baluster, I lean against it and watch her.
Kicking off her sandals, she walks to the edge and dips her right foot into the still water. Slowly, she goes deeper until her feet are buried up to her ankles. Her soft laughter carries over to me, making my chest squeeze tight.
Sensing my gaze, she peers over her shoulder. Brushing her hair back away from her face, she waves me over.
Incapable of saying no to her, I take the same path and step onto the shore. As I saunter in her direction, she comes running toward me. I catch her as she jumps into my open arms. Grabbing my face, her lips crash against mine.
Licking the seam, she coaxes my mouth with a teasing suck on my bottom lip. I crush her harder against my chest as her wet tongue shyly thrusts inside and searches for mine. When they touch and she sucks greedily, a groan builds up my throat. It takes my tight-knit control not to take the lead and dominate her mouth.
Her kiss is just like her.
Sweet. Sensual. Tempting.
Tugging at the short strands of my hair, her head tilts to deepen the kiss. I grab her ass underneath the skirt and grind her hot cunt against my lower abs. Fuck, how she’s burning up! Her lithe body is begging to be fucked.
Yet again, I control myself.
Panting, she pulls back. Skimming a thumb against the corner of my mouth, she huskily says, “Everything here is so beautiful. You and me. No one else. I can’t express how freaking happy I am that you brought us here.”
“I’m going to take you to every stunning place on this earth, Rainbow.”
“You’re going to spoil me, Kian.”
“It’s my right.” My voice comes out heated. “I promised you I’d treat you like a queen. This is just the beginning.”
