Thread: Wolf Mountain {Darkest Nightmare & Vertigis}

Holly Porter shifted her pack onto her slim shoulder, rolling her dark brown eyes as Logan mercilessly teased his younger brother Ethan. It seemed like shed been listening to similar jabs throughout the whole drive up here. She knew it was all in fun though. Shed seen them together enough times to know they were quite close. Still she was hoping hed give it a rest once they finally got out onto the trails in earnest. It was obvious to her that Ethan was already nervous enough with his new girlfriend along for the trip. She couldnt really blame him for that either. Holly hadnt known Tara Cole for very long, in fact theyd just met literally the day before the trip was settled, but she felt she knew the type well enough and that was not the type who was likely to enjoy camping for campings sake. The svelte brunette was too fussy, too looks conscious, too, well, girly , for lack of a better word, to like anything that involved sweating and getting her hands dirty. Holly on the other hand had always enjoyed the outdoors. She still remembered staying at her grandparents farm when she was a girl, and camping out in a tent with her older brothers under the starlight. It had been years since shed done anything like that but even now she still liked nature walks and hiking when her schedule allowed for it. Taking a long deep breath of the crisp forest air into her lungs, the petit blonde smiled to herself, finding she really was anticipating the next few days. It would be great to just get away from things for a change. And of course there was also Logan. This was their first real chance to be alone, or kind of alone, together for extended period in almost a month. Despite the ribbing hed just given his brother, she was into him, probably too into him Holly knew, a recipe for future heartbreak. His brash confident attitude excited her when they were together though. He was never dull, and she needed someone who could challenge her a little that way. Plus he was hot. There was also that. Cmon, before he leaves us behind, she said, glancing back at Ethan and his girl with a small smile. Sometimes she privately wondered though if she wasnt with the wrong brother. Maybe her long string of unhappy romances had to do with always going for the same type, the wrong type. Logan might be fun but Ethan seemed like a genuinely nice caring guy. She almost felt sorry for him that he was stuck with Tara. That maybe wasnt fair as shed really only just met her, but Holly had the feeling the girl would have him wrapped right around her little finger. She had those sultry looks and that cute little vulnerable tone of voice that seemed to make clueless guys fall all over themselves to cater to the whims of manipulative women like her. It just made Holly want to stick her tongue out and gag. Plus shed brought enough bug repellent and hand sanitizer along to supply the entire county. Tara was already complaining about her packs weight as soon as they were out of the car, which saw Ethan fixing the straps, as if he wasnt already carrying enough of her things. Holly had admittedly over packed as well but that for a good a reason. She knew it could get cold up here near the mountains and didnt want to be caught without a blanket and a warm pair of slacks when the sun went down. As it was she was currently dressed in just a pair of khaki shorts and a tight green strappy tank top that emphasized her shapely bust. Okay, so maybe not the most practical of hiking clothes, but she was here with her boyfriend. She might not be as bad as Tara in her cut-off denim short shorts and mid-riff exposing top, but that didnt mean she wasnt hoping to catch his attention. Camping out was only part of the fun they had planned for this trip. Maybe even just a very small part. You know, when we come back here and find out a raccoon has driven off with your Jeep, youre going to feel awfully stupid, Holly said with a grin, running a hand along Logans thigh as she caught up with him, feeling the tight muscles beneath his jeans. How far off is this site, anyways? Not too far she was hoping. As much as shed enjoy a good long strenuous hike most times, she didnt want them to wear themselves before they even made camp. She wanted him at full strength, so to speak, and wasnt ashamed to admit that to herself. This was going to be her vacation too after all.
