minutes.
I slip him inside of me and tell him to just fuck me crazy. Of course, he does and good gracious, it’s perfect! I’ll be smiling all day after that.
We get ready and I make us a quick breakfast of bacon and eggs. As we eat, he finally wanders over to the ceiling-to-floor windows he’s been eyeing off. I see his face slip into wow mode.
I walk over to him with a smile on my face and say, “Isn’t it a beautiful sight?”
“Why didn’t you tell me to open these yesterday?” he replies, amazement evident in his voice. “We’re going into that, right?”
“Yes, we are and you’ll be amazed, I promise.”
With that, we head to the airport. I notice him watching the mountains with awe and smile to myself.
We pull up and to my amazement, there are no paparazzi in sight. Thank God!
We get to Crystal’s gate and as the passengers start to filter out, they give Eoin a second look. Fuck, here we go.
One fan obviously recognizes him from somewhere because she asks who he is and he replies, “Just a limo driver, ma’am.” I laugh at that.
I see Crystal! As she comes in view of Eoin, she stops instantly.
“Are you Miss D?” he asks and she can only nod. I burst out laughing hysterically. She scowls at me but within seconds, she’s giggling, too. Oh, how I’ve missed her!
“Introductions aren’t needed but Eoin this is my best friend, Crystal. Crystal, Eoin.” I laugh as she puts her hand out and he pulls her into a hug. She looks at me with wide eyes and a huge grin.
We walk out and get into my car to head to Boulder.

The car ride is fantastic! Eoin is making us both die of laughter. He asks Crystal how we met and whether he’s gotten himself in trouble with me.
“Oh, yes. She’s the one to keep an eye on, Eoin,” Crystal jokes.
“Thanks, dude. Way to make me look bad!” I reply and wink at her.
Eoin leans into my cheek and kisses me, whispering, “I like a challenge.” Oh, he makes me melt all over when he breathes like that into my ear!
We pull into Boulder and Eoin is amazed. He asks where we went to school, so I drive up to Fairview and Crystal and I start to go down memory lane. As we laugh our asses off about all the fun we had, I sneak a glance at Eoin. He’s all smiles.
I phone Vicki and Derik to meet us in Estes and find they are headed that way already. I spoke with Vicki when I left the restaurant, so she’s been waiting for this and you can bet your ass she had her weekend cleared.
“Okay, let’s go up into those beautiful mountains!” We’re all in agreement so I head up Highway 7 towards Allenspark and Estes. It’s so quiet the whole way up, as it should be. This ride is so unbelievably beautiful, it would take anyone’s breath away.
As we pass the gorgeous church that sits in front of the beautiful Longs Peak background, Eoin asks me to pull over for pictures. We take one of all of us and then one with just Eoin and Crystal.
Finally, pulling me close, he looks into my eyes and Crystal takes the picture as he kisses me.
“I want to put this on my Instapic account, if you’re okay with it?” he asks, with a cute please look on his face. I nod. This will make his fans go insane! Good thing the gorgeous background is there to somewhat distract them! It’s a really great picture.
I take his phone and text the photo to mine so I can have it printed off. I don’t ever want this memory to go away.
We get back in the car. It’s only about 10 minutes to Estes now. We stop at the overlook and I can’t help but take a huge intake of air at the site. We wind into town and I pull into Twin Owl’s Steakhouse. They have the best food in Estes.
I ask for the smoked salmon for Eoin - locally smoked salmon served with dill cream cheese, capers, pine nuts and toast points with a raspberry sauce.
“Here she is, ordering again for us,” Eoin says, winking at me.
“Sorry, but I know what you’ll love.” I give him the sly smile he deserves, the
