Valentine Lodge (Open to all)

[DrStein]

The Valentine Lodge was a unique ski lodge in the Rockies. Maintained on an obscure American Indian reservation, the owners were free to do just about anything there that they wanted. Those who had heard of the lodge knew of rumors about what went on there. Some said that the lodge had legalized prostitution. Others said that the magical nature of the place was the source of all the romantic stories that had come from there. Still others maintained that it was the meeting place of a cult with bizarre rituals. Naturally, the truth was somewhere in between all of those.

Logan Masters had recently found a job at the Valentine Lodge. He was a travelling musician and magician, but his talents had earned him an indefinite room and board at the lodge.

Tonight, he sat in the main lounge on a small dais. He was dressed in black jeans and a wine red sweater, his long curly hair pulled back into a ponytail and his facial hair groomed into a neat VanDyke goatee. His rugged features provided an interesting contrast to this image. He seemed the epitome of the noble savage.

Logan was perched on a stool with a bass guitar in his lap and a microphone before him as he crooned out an original tune of his for the lodge patrons as they milled about the lobby. Logan's unique voice had earned him the nickname Howling Coyote during a stay with some Navajo three years ago while he was passing through Nevada.

Kaylee Ryan

Kaylee had come to lodge hoping for a getaway. She had heard the rumor s and stories of what went on there but didn't believe them. She knew rumors were just that. The lodge was beautiful. She couldn't imagine a better place for her to spend a vacation.

She walked into the lounge, and looked around before she sat at the bar. Kaylee greeted the bartender then order her jack over ice. She was hoping to loosen up and relax. Her business had taken off before she knew it and was needing to just relax.

The man playing guitar had imediatly caught her attention. He had a beautiful voice. Something about soothed her. She told the bartender that if the man wanted a drink it would be on her. Then smiled enjoying his song.

Logans fingers danced over the four wound strings of his bass as if it were air. The sound was soft and smooth, almost lulling. He looked around at some of the people, knowing that several of the women were checking him out. He was well aware of his good looks and had been complimented many times for having a sexy voice. But he was usually in a world of his own. He was always vrey aloof and dreaming of horizons and what lay beyond them.

He finished his song to a light applause and packed up his bass and microphone. The hotel staff would return all the equipment to his room later. For now, he needed a drink. He strode up to the bar, taking a seat next to a woman who had been watching him earlier. He gave her a small smile before ordering an ICB root beer for himself. Many people were surprised at first to learn that Logan seldom drank any alcohol. He was too concerned with preserving his voice, so the hotel bars were always stalked with his favorite drink.

"Afternoon," he said to the woman beside him in a conversational tone.

Kaylee Ryan

"Good after noon to you," she smiled. "I must tell your voice is very beautiful. I'm sure you hear that often as a line but I mean it in all sincerity. It has such a smooth calming tone to it."

Kaylee hoped she wasn't being to forward. She only wanted to be honest, which tended to be a bad thing at times. Her honesty had lead to broken relationships and heartache. It seemed she would never learn. Either that or she had yet to find the man that enjoyed her honesty.

She smiled over at the man. He had a rugged look, almost savage. There was also something classic and handsome about him. Kaylee always found long hair attractive on a man, now was no different.

"Do you play at the lodge often?"

 

[DrStein]

Logan smirked and put on a fake haughty pose at the compliment before laughing lightly. "The tribe running the lodge call me by the name the Navajo gave me: Howling Coyote. Long story."

At her question, he looked up in thought for a moment. "I've been here about... a month now. I was making my way back west when I stumbled on this place and got the job."

 

[molly_hunter28]

"Howling Coyote hu. Sounds as though it would be an interesting story. Well I must say that I'm glad you stopped here to work at the lodge. Hearing you play has been a joy," Kaylee smiled.

She took another sip of her drink. Feeling a little more relaxed then when she walked in. This was a good idea, her visiting the lodge, Kaylee thought.

 

[DrStein]

Logan looked at her a moment, then smirked and leaned back. "You want me," he joked. He took a sip of his ICB and waited for her reaction, hoping she had a decent sense of humor.

Kaylee Ryan

"Gee I must so obvious," Kaylee laughed. It felt nice to be around someone with a sense of humor.

"My name is Kaylee by the way." She extendedent her hand, waiting to see if he would accept. Sitting her talking to this man was nice. She felt at ease with him. Strange most men wanted her for her money, he just talked to her like she was just another woman.

 

[DrStein]

"Masters... Logan Masters," he responded in his best Bond impersonation.

"You here with friends? Family?" The question was an entirely innocent one. Logan loved to hear people's stories as much as he loved telling all the ones he'd collected.

Kaylee Ryan

"Nice to meet you Logan," she smiled. "I'm hear by myself. Taking a break from work. Sometimes life and the real world just get to hectic for me. The lodge has always been a nice place to get away. Right now I need that."

Kaylee left out the fact that she was tired of the press, tired of the fake people pounding on her door. Being successful had it's down side. She had turned her fathers production company into a very large, competative one. All of that stress had lead her here for some peace.

 

[DrStein]

"Well maybe I'll see you in the hot tubs later, then." Even though he said it as a joke, he was sort of hoping. She was very beautiful and she had a good sense of humor as well. Why wouldn't he enjoy talking to her... among other things?

 

[molly_hunter28]

Kaylee Ryan

"You just may. It was nice to talk with you Logan," Kaylee smiled up at him. It had been nice talking to someone. She sat at the bar finishing her drink. She'd probably end up back in her room before too long. The idea of a hot tub did sound wonderful to her. Would be a nice way to relax for the evening.

 

[DrStein]

Logan nodded and walked off. He headed back to his room where he changed into a pair of black trunks and grabbed a towel. He made his way down to the pool, which was only open in the summer, and around back to the hot tubs.

One was sunken into the ground and was next to a snowdrift for cooling off quickly. He slowly lowered himself in and draped his arms across the edge as he leaned back. He lifted his head toward the sky and closed his eyes, content to spend the next few minutes in peace to meditate.

Kaylee Ryan

As she had guessed Kaylee ended up in her room about fifteen minutes later. She looked through her things finding her black bikini. All she had thought about was relaxing in the hot tub, enjoying the peace she'd find there.

Kaylee dressed, grabbed a towl and her sandles and was heading to the door when her cell rang. She knew it had been a bad idea to bring it. She saw on the caller id it was Sean Walters. Ugh she thought why me. He had been trying to get her in his bed for the longest time. It hadn't worked.

She decided to let it ring. She would check her voice mail later. It was nothing that couldn't wait. Again she she headed out the door and down to the hot tub. Her mind already drifting there and relaxing.

 

[DrStein]

Logan heard the approach of some one else coming, but paid it no mind. He was trying to keep his thoughts clear, though they kept drifting back to Kaylee and he found himself getting hard. Fortunate then than the water concealed the tenting in his trunks.

Kaylee Ryan

Kayle pulled open the door, she spotted Logan right away. How could she not? The man was very eye catching. SHe smiled as walked over.

"Mind if I join you?" she asked.

She hoped he didn't. She could really use some time in the hot tub. A bath just wouldn't work for her this time. Kaylee knew the hot tub would ease her woes. Plus there was already an attractive man in there. That made her smile.

 

[DrStein]

Logan opened one eye and cracked a small smile. "Go right ahead." She was even more beautiful in that bikini. Once again, Logan was rather thankful for the frothing water hiding his erection.

When the time came that he'd have to get out, he'd best spend a minute biting his tongue to redirect the blood flow.

 

[molly_hunter28]

Kaylee dropped her towel on a chair and stepped into the delicious warmth of the hot tub. She let out a small sigh as her body relaxed in the water. Her eyes closed briefly before she looked over at her tub mate.

"Thanks for sharing with me. The water is divine to relax in," she said with a another soft sigh.

 

[DrStein]

"Divine?" Logan asked with a quirked brow. "Do you also catch the lift to your flat?" he joked. He then went off in a nasally, very faked British accent. "This simply isn't done. You'll be hearing from my solicitor!"
