⤆Saturday⤇
Picking up where we left off from the previous episode it is now
Saturday morning, Aksel and Ember are both awake. Aksel peers out the window to check on the weather and their current situation. Ember is still lying in bed under the warm covers.
*Ember* "How's it lookin' out there?"
Aksel fiddles with the blinds as he tries to wipe down the fogged up window and get a clear picture of what is going
on outside. It's early morning and the sun is still rising.
*Aksel* "Well sweet cheeks...I'd say the outlook is not so good...."
As he speaks to her, he shifts his head side to side as he
continues to look out the snow cast window. Ember meanwhile pops her head up off the pillow, she is no longer relaxed and
comfy under the warm blankets.
*Ember* "What'd ya mean?!..No, surely you must be mistaken. Can't we
open the door to check?!"
Aksel turns to look at a very worried Ember. She begins
to kick the blankets off in very panicked and hasty manor.
*Aksel* "Whoa! No one is opening that door! There is snow leaning
against it and besides we need to keep the warm air in here as best we
can.
*Ember* "Well we can't just sit here and do nothing! I need to get to the other cabin.
We can try to shovel it or something..."
*Aksel* We're snowed in...and the snow is still coming down....You are not going anywhere, sweetheart, at least for another day..."
Ember gets frustrated with his quick dismissal of her idea. No way can she spend another night in this Cabin alone with Aksel. Not that he is not a nice guy but this is just way too awkward.
*Ember* "No! I refuse to be stuck here...There has to be a way, even if I have to walk."
*Aksel* "Ember, it's fucking freezing cold outside! You will never make it.
Don't be stubborn...Cam and the other girls will understand."
*Ember* "I know! But I....I can't just..."
Aksel knows she's uncomfortable, it's written all over her face as her cheeks turn a flush pink color nearly matching the pink sweater that is draped over her shoulders. His eyes drop from her face to the white shirt underneath as he sits back down in the bed.
*Aksel* "Just what? Be stuck here with me?...Relax a little, I don't bite, Babe...
Hasn't Cam told you anything about me over the years?"
*Ember* "Um...well...Yeah...she talks about you a lot. Cam is very proud of you, you know..."
*Aksel smiles* "She should be, I've had to put up with her crazy ass for years.
So I'm sure you know what I'm talking about..."
*Ember smiles* "Yes...Cambria is definitely an acquired taste, but I love her she is true
to who she is and sticks up for those she loves no matter what..."
Aksel's laugh is deep and fills the small space.
*Aksel* "Yeah she is...Hey do me a favor, sweet cheeks...Turn on the radio maybe there is
some news on there about the weather."
some news on there about the weather."
*Ember* "Oh!...uh okay...."
Ember turns the dial to try and tune into a radio station.
When she comes across a rock song.
When she comes across a rock song.
*Aksel* "Oooo, leave it there! I fucking love that song.."
She does and then picks up her phone
as she gets up off the bed.
*Ember* "I'm just gonna go text Cam and see how they're holding up. Hopefully I can get through."
*Aksel nods* "Just remember....You and I are stuck with each other until further notice...
No way am I gonna allow you to head out in the cold all alone.
So tell Cam we'll go together when it's safe."
Ember nods and agrees, he is right it is not safe to travel to the other cabin right now. Ember takes her small luggage trunk and excuses herself to the bathroom. So she can brush her teeth and hair.
⤆Sunday⤇
It's Sunday afternoon, they woke again this morning to find that the snow has still not cleared out enough for them to travel to the other Cabin. Both Ember and Aksel are beginning to get a bit of cabin fever as they are both stuck in this small intimate space together. Ember comes out of the bathroom, she went to brush and floss her teeth after lunch which was a few chicken tenders and some popcorn. Luckily Aksel had stocked the small mini fridge well enough, but not nearly enough for two people stuck together in a snow storm...
gasp and mutters under her breath, Oh my! Watching the muscles in his back flex as he moves up and down. Ember's cheeks go hot at the thought of her and him in a similar way...
*Aksel* "Am I in your way, Sweet cheeks?..."
*Ember* "Huh?...Oh! No, no you're fine."
fucking rat stuck in a cage..."
*Ember* "It's fine...I'm just gonna text Cam see what the girls are doing..."
A short while later Aksel flops down on the bed and
playfully tries to sneak a peek at what Ember has been
texting with his sister Cambria.
*Ember* "Wh...what?! No! Why would she do that?"
*Aksel* "I saw the look on your face a few times...What is
she saying about me? lemme see..."
*Ember laughs* "Absolutely not! And besides Cam never
talks bad about you."
*Ember* "What is that suppose to mean?..."
*Aksel smirks* "I just know Cam. Shit, I wouldn't be surprised if she is taking this
opportunity to try and hook us up...being in the situation we're in."
Ember's eyes widen like saucers at his bold and spot on comment. Her phone dings again and she quickly turns away to look at it. This time it is not Cambria but another friend from college a guy friend
wishing her a happy holiday.
*Ember* "Not that it's any of your business but no, it's my friend Brady from school...."
*Aksel* "Ahhh....Cam didn't tell me you have a boyfriend. Is he jealous
you're stuck in a cabin with Aksel Madsen?..."
*Aksel* "You mean a cute college girl like you doesn't have a boyfriend?"
*Ember blushes* "I've had boyfriends just not right now..."
*Aksel* "Lemme guess...He likes you but not the other way around..."
*Ember* "He asked me out once and I told him that I didn't want to date right
now, that I wanted to focus on finishing school...I tried to let him down nicely."
*Ember* "He asked me out once and I told him that I didn't want to date right
now, that I wanted to focus on finishing school...I tried to let him down nicely."
*Ember* "No, I didn't...I said I didn't want to date."
*Aksel* "You told him not right now....That's still giving the poor guy hope!"
*Ember gasps* "Crap! You think if I text him back then he'll try to ask me out?
But why? I'll be leaving to head back home soon..."
*Aksel* "Does he text you often?..."
*Ember* "Well yeah...but that's because we had a few classes
together and we usually helped each other study..."
*Aksel* "Uh, huh..."
*Ember* "What?!...It's true..."
*Aksel* "Shit, Ember...this guy is fucking hung up on you..."
*Ember* "No he's not...I bet you if I text him back right now
that is not how it's gonna go."
*Aksel* "I bet you he'll say he got a job not far from where you live
and wants to hang out after the new year...If I'm right you have to let me take you out."
*Ember laughs* "What? are you physic now too?...Besides why would you want to take
me out? I'm sure you could find a plethora of super models to take out on dates."
*Ember blushes again and stutters* "Aksel....I....that's....what about..."
*Aksel* "How about this...Let's take a selfie together and if he texts you back then
he never liked you, if he doesn't text you back then you probably just broke
the poor guys heart.....Lemme see your phone."
*Ember* "No way...I'm not doing that!..."
*Aksel* "C'mon...it'll be fun!"
Ember rolls her eyes and tries to turn away, but she can't keep a straight face. He's right it is kinda funny, still she can't do that to Brady. She'll just sneak out and text him in the bathroom. She
tries to turn to make an escape, but Aksel is too fast.
*Ember laughs* "A bet isn't a bet unless we both agree on it...Sweet cheeks..."
Aksel's eyes light up when he hears her playful banter.
Then Ember's cheeks blush a bright pink at the realization of
her calling him sweet cheeks. Their conversation went from
friendly banter to flirty in a snap. Aksel playfully tries to
snatch her phone. As much as she'd love a selfie with
him she's never gonna admit it.
Ember can't stop giggling, it feels good to finally let her guard down a bit. Aksel is definitely a good mixture of a gentlemen and a flirt.
Plus his left hand is firmly gripped around her waist holding her in place, the touch is making her extremely giddy...
While his right hand battles for her phone.
you'll always end up like this right where I want you..."
Ember swallows hard as her body goes tense and her eyes get wide, betraying her yet again. Aksel knows it too. The thought of her and him entangled together sends a wave of heat down to her belly. Aksel takes that moment to swipe the phone out of her hand. He slides her in close and snaps a selfie with her...It all happened so fast she hardly had time to react.

⟽Monday: Christmas Eve⟾
After yesterday's hijinks and playfulness Ember has loosed up a lot more and so has Aksel, they have increasingly become much more comfortable with each other. They both sense the sexual tension that has built up between them and Aksel has already admitted to being attracted to her. She never sent that pic to Brady. In fact she couldn't bring herself to texting him back. She decided she'll text him on Christmas Day...
Aksel and Ember sit on the bed and play the card game, Speed. Aksel is showing her the ropes, it's an easy game and it's fun to play.
Anything to help pass the time.

*Aksel* "What'd ya mean?...."
*Ember* "I saw you, Aksel! You put two cards down at one
time! That's cheating..."
*Aksel smirks* "No I didn't..."
*Aksel* "I don't know what you're talking about, sweet cheeks...I'm a straight shooter."
Ember gives him a very skeptical look as

Aksel slides out a card or two from the stack
in his other hand....
in his other hand....
*Ember* "You mean so I can beat you again...Hey did
you just swipe 2 cards again?!..."
Aksel holds the cards in his hand up and
away from Ember.
*Ember* "Yes you do! Lemme see."
*Aksel* "You can't look at my cards, now you're cheating."
*Ember* "Not if I accuse you of cheating first..."
Then Ember lunges forward trying to swipe the multiple
cards she knows he is holding in his hands, as Aksel laughs.
She is so opposite of Cambria.
The two quickly find themselves again a playful game of tug o war. Ember tries to grab at the cards while Aksel tries to deflect her attack.
*Ember* "Why don't you just admit you're a cheater..."
*Aksel* "Why don't you admit first you like that I'm a cheater..."
*Ember* "Huh?!..."
Aksel grabs her wrist and yanks her in closer...
Their faces now inches apart.
*Ember* "Yeah, so? Still why would I admit that?..."
*Aksel* "Because sweet girls like you always want the bad boys like me."
*Ember* "Aksel...You...You're not a bad b..guy..."
Then Aksel's eyes get a deeper, darker blue as
he stares up at Ember.
Letting her know the bad boys like those sweet girls too...
*Aksel* "What's wrong?..."
*Ember* "I'm flattered really I am...but why me, Aksel? Just because we're stuck
here in this cabin together doesn't mean we have to...um you know."
know I don't just go around fucking anyone I want...I'm not that kind of rock star, sweet heart."
*Ember* "Yeah I know, but I'm not what you want."
Aksel can hear the lack of confidence in her voice. It's obvious she is not as experienced in these matters and it's making her self conscious...But the burning desire is there.
*Ember* "Because I'm not some hot experienced super model."
*Aksel* "I don't care about that. And for the record you are hot. Sexy as fuck, hot."
*Ember blushes at his compliment* "Aksel..."
Aksel pushes up and begins to reposition
himself over her...
Aksel begins to get up off of the bed. He will never force himself on any woman. If Ember is not feeling the same way then that's okay. He respects her choice. Aksel always wants the feelings to be mutual.
*Aksel* "What do you mean?..."
*Ember* "I...I mean I've always had a crush on you, but I think it's more of
fangirl thing. I don't want to be with you either just because of that reason."
*Aksel* "You're over thinking things sweet cheeks, think about what is
happening here right now between us...Even if we only get this one moment together it's
something I will cherish from here on out, whether we have sex or not."
*Ember* "You had me at sweet cheeks..."
*Aksel* "Huh?..."
*Ember* "I mean yes, I want you too..."
*Aksel* "So you're done over thinking this?..."
reaches back over his head to take off his shirt. Then he leans down over her cupping her head in his hands as he stares
down into her big grey-blue eyes...
and slow, just follow my lead..."

⟽Tuesday: Christmas Morning⟾
Aksel and Ember lay cozied up in bed under the warm sheets and blankets. The room is completely littered with their clothes, some of the pillows, and the playing cards that were on the bed last night, before their plans changed on how they spent the remainder of Christmas Eve. Aksel has his phone out and they are checking on the weather to
make sure the roads are safe to travel.
*Ember* "Really?!..."
*Aksel* "Yeah, which means we can head out to the other cabin and
spend Christmas with Cam and the other two girls."
Ember feels a little sad, part of her would rather stay
here under the warm sheets next Aksel, but she
knows that is not an option.
*Aksel* "It is. I know Cam has missed you terribly..."
Ember thinks has she really?! I wouldn't be here in this
cabin if it wasn't for her little white lie.
*Aksel a bit unsure where this is going* "Oh-kay...."
*Ember* "Cam sent me to your cabin on purpose. I think
she wanted us to hook up."
She feels so relieved to have that off her chest. Aksel smiles,
looking the least bit surprised. His voice deep
and sultry as he replies back to her.
like this. Only this time it worked..."
*Ember* "Are you serious?"
*Aksel nods* "Yes, just do me a favor. Please don't tell Cam. The last
thing I need is for her to get all match maker on me..."
*Ember stutters* "Oh..uh...ye...yeah...I...I didn't plan on telling her anyways."
*Aksel smiles* "Good...you can stay my dirty little secret."
Ember goes flush as the memory of last night comes back she kicks
off the bed sheets as she looks around the room.
And we still need to get ready to leave.
Aksel slides his strong fingers up the back of Embers neck and through her hair. His touch still sending aftershocks through her body. She turns her head to look down at him. He's got that look on his face, again. Then suddenly Aksel pulls her up on top of his chest.
*Ember* "I don't mind doing it."
*Aksel* "No, you don't..."
Aksel smirks, do it they did last night, his hand moves across
her body. He is not letting her get out of this bed till he
has her one last time.
*Ember* "You're an animal..."
*Aksel* "You're damn right I am, baby..."
A short while later, Aksel tidies up the cabin while Ember takes
a bath. As he's cleaning up he finds the box of condoms that
disappeared on him while he was making the bed.
Aksel finishes cleaning up then, quietly knocks on the
bathroom door. Ember is perched on the edge
of the tub applying body lotion.
*Aksel* "No...take your time. Just wanted to give you
something to remember me by."
Aksel shakes the box, there are only
a few left in there.
happened last night. You made sure of that..."
*Aksel* "I'd give you one of my T's but Cam might fucking notice that...."
*Ember* "How is a half empty box of condoms any better?...She'll be way more suspicious."
Then Aksel sets the box down on the sink vanity. He looks her up and down like he's taking a mental picture of her there in
that moment and smiles.
Then he steps back out of the bathroom closing the door behind him. Ember stares at the little blue box. Never in her life has she ever done what happened last night. She always makes a guy wait a little longer. A huge grin slowly begins to creep across her face. He's kinda right...keeping it as a momento is kinda sexy. Then she gasps oh no! What if my mom finds it while she is helping me unpack?
*Aksel* "I got all your clothes laying here on the bed. You just need to pack them away..."
*Ember* "Okay, thank you..."
They both walk towards the center of the the room.
Ember holding the box of condoms.
*Aksel* "What's wrong?...You don't like my gift? I want you to
remember me, Ember..."
*Ember* "I do! I...I..I mean I will remember you...Aksel, I will never
forget the time we have spent here together. Please just keep these. I don't
want Cam to get any ideas."
*Ember* "She is...And it's not stupid."
Aksel takes the box from her grasp. Ember's arms find their
way up and over Aksel's shoulders as he pulls her in closer.
The two stare at each other for a moment...
*Aksel* "Oh yeah!....Did you ever send it..."
*Ember* "No! I told you I can't do that. Brady is a sweet guy..."
*Aksel* "But what about our bet sweet cheeks?..."
*Ember smirks* "I think that's kinda null and void after the
things you did to me last night."
Aksel's blue eyes light up and he smiles. Ember is
so beautiful inside and out.
Then he dips his head down to hers for one last kiss. Ember quickly wraps her arms up around his neck and kisses him back with a passion. She doesn't want it to end. This will probably very will be the last moment they ever have like this.
*Ember* "I promise..."
