"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 ?
50Please respect copyright.PENANAaM0t0ka2vu
"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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAH60Qv0UmPr
"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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAxl2IPLnfw4
I grab my phone and snap a picture of our current view.
"Here" he says gesturing for the phone.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAwIQvyDWASt
"You are not escaping photographic evidence in those boots" he laughs snapping a pic of me.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAh3Qma7CPeU
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA35Y3nPlzRF
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAM57GCvQ5Xo
I peer over his shoulder and see the view of the lake accompanied by a large moose.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAFGjMP4D3R1
"We shouldn't approach it" he says
50Please respect copyright.PENANA3QjBPQotSg
"It's wonderful" I say taken aback by its sheer size.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA0SN4ctrWPG
"There's bears too" he snickers upon looking at my expression.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA7UWSyreHRI
"Black bears, we will be fine" he says.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAcYt0ehzSzY
We continue walking in step. I make sure to place my feet carefully each time having slipped several times already.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA0sScnmGh8j
"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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAtAde2sD5HB
"Are we there yet" I smile at him.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAIK9HdaixFa
He laughs, complete belly laughs. Glances at the top of the mountain and then back at me.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAtiKUeITBw4
"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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAW08IbI6hMB
"I know of a great view though and I wanna take you there" he calls back and I can just imagine his wide smile.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAX1qDgDBHyd
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA2PMo9W0vNl
He laughs turns around to face me.
"Want a break" he says smiling.
50Please respect copyright.PENANASdy4ga6JQz
"No let's plow on" I tell him and he kisses me.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA2AdAwflfdN
"You're doing exceptionally well" he says
50Please respect copyright.PENANAbmBmr0wsgo
"We're about 10 minutes out" he calls back to me. The excitement I his voice evident.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAkCY3nNBKV8
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAcdTw4tsNQO
"Maroon lake" he explains and he's breathless just like me.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAbu3QnXGdmh
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA0KTvp2nS20
"Taylor" he says with eyes full of emotion.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA0wEtcO3CHD
"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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAq80EM1jlQh
"I could not be more happy to say that" he says and tears stream down both of our cheeks.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAuhtjkszrkK
"I love you with every single bone in my body" he says and he kisses me.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jq6DYfVQf
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAeEUPp0d1hH
"I'm gonna send them to my parents including my dad" he laughs
50Please respect copyright.PENANAVoky14A7p6
"Taylor you have done the impossible" he says laughing whilst typing out a message to his father.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAGogBovk2HJ
"What? made you contact your father?" I say laughing.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA9vtV6p8kuU
"No you made our relationship better somehow; he's more contactable" he laughs.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAWuMBqFWp2W
"I've just put; we're in aspen and we got a lodge" he says laughing.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA7LEVwokO6I
"He will ask for all of the details." He says.
50Please respect copyright.PENANATH8hWXDUuD
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA7clcibpO1L
"I'm gonna post this one, to my mum but also to social media" I say smiling.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAp63sB9V0bm
I upload it with the caption: Aspen + Jay = happiness. Call me corny but I like it.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAuuVYUNTkXN
"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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAf791zNLm8f
"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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAtkXl3OCtgK
"Hand job in a cafe, seriously hot" he says softly once he's close to me.
50Please respect copyright.PENANASq6Cfhgceb
"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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAgXVj3V6Nfb
"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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAw2uVp1pgGj
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAloe0gOwaHq
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANACAbR73CBXO
"What would you like Taylor?” he asks me smiling.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAcDVrdvv6KY
"Jay" I moan.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAYYNCEyvOOK
"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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAhRrQVQs3QH
I moan and he smiles.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA4YclSc0Lu3
"Shhh" he says softly.
"Baby you taste so fucking good" he says running his tongue over me again.
50Please respect copyright.PENANABQfArk4XcO
He continues with his tongue and I feel myself getting close. My hands in his hair as I'm calling out his name.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAkGI1U7dYmZ
"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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAGZmcIKDSl4
"Yes, beautiful" he says as I'm mid orgasm.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA1ti5YRSmrt
"Jay" I say as I'm finishing.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA7fEaHcT8gZ
I finish gasping and grabbing at his hair.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA5gDYoGVHCI
"We're square again" he says with a smile. He places my panties back on and smooths out my dress very smug with himself.
50Please respect copyright.PENANARQAJcwiPX0
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.
