Ian could no longer hold his temper, grabbing Tyler by the collar.
Tyler sounded helpless.
“When you guys weren’t here, we all drew lots for the rooms. These were the only two left. Do youreally think I did this on purpose? Besides, you can have Maja bunk with you.”
lan was taken aback, having completely forgotten about that option in his frustration.
Releasing Tyler, he didn’t suggest Maja share with him, instead, he moved to share a room with her tokeep a distance from Judith.novelbin
Fresh out of the shower, Maja saw lan busily packing up gear for the next day’s venture into themountains.
Their so–called retreat wasn’t confined to that villa. The villa was merely their place of amusement andrest. Come dawn, they would be heading uphill.
The backpacks were filled with essentials lan had prepared based on his past experiences. That couldbe considered as their first date since they got back together.
Maja sprawled out on the bed, flipping onto her side to watch him meticulously check the contents ofboth bags, she couldn’t resist asking. “You used to go hiking a lot?”
“Once every six months, being close to nature always lifts my spirits. This time, I’ll have Rockyaccompany you. He can help keep the bugs away at night”
Maja found it amusing, looking at his serious profile brought warmth to her heart.
After checking the contents of both bags, he placed them on the nearby sofa and instructed,
“Maja, you carry the lighter one tomorrow, I’ll take the heavier one.”
Maja nodded in agreement.
Noticing her lying on the bed, half of her shoulder exposed, lan strode over, gently lifting her into hisarms.
Maja instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist.
Hardly a minute into their kiss, Ryan knocked on the door from outside
“Cuz, everyone’s waiting for you to start the meeting. After that, we’re all grilling some BBQ. Don’t hitthe hay too early.”
It was just before eight
lan was peeved, feeling uncomfortably aroused
Maja too, startled by Ryan’s interruption, quickly wriggled out of lan’s embrace, landing on the floor andscrambling to get dressed.
Ryan waited outside for a good ten minutes before an irked lan finally opened the door.
Looking puzzled, he asked, “Where’s Penny? She needs to attend the meeting too. There are a lot ofthings she needs to be aware of.”
lan and Fitch had charted that hiking route together Starting from there, it would take two days to reachthe opposite mountain top, where a helicopter would be warting for them to pick them up. The sceneryalong the way was at its most beautiful during that season, attracting many young men from their socialcircle each year.
That year, they just happened to start earlier.
Fitch couldn’t make it that time, so lan was leading the meeting.
On arriving at the living room, he found over twenty people waiting for him.
He spread the map in the center, explaining the terrain of each area and emphasizing the two supplyand medical aid points. Those were secret locations set up to aid anyone injured on the way.
Judith sat at the front, listening to him saying. “Ms. Sanders, maybe you should sit this one out. Ifanything happens to you, it’ll be hard to explain your situation to the Sanders family”
People with heart conditions had no business meddling in such affairs
Judith smiled, replying. “Tan, you don’t need to worry about me. I have Wind, and my brother will bejoining us tonight. Everyone should be able to meet him before we set off tomorrow”
What was clearly a sarcastic remark from lan was twisted into a caring gesture by Judith
Just as the crowd was about to stir, Maja slowly descended the staucase
Raising an eyebrow, Judith chuckled, ‘Ms. Pennyfeather, not feeling well? The meeting is almost over,and you just arrived here.”
There was a collective scoff from the crowd Maja was truly a princess, showing up later than anyoneelse despite their higher status.
Maja may not have been worn out by lan, but he had thoroughly teased her before leaving, leaving herflushed and breathless. Had she come out looking like that, everyone would have easily understoodwhat they were up to in there
she spent a while washing her face with cold water, waiting for her emotions to settle before comingdown.
lan was about to pack up the map on the table when he heard Judith’s words; he respondednonchalantly, “I’ll go over it with her before we go to bed.”
