Cora at Hot Springs (OC) (Patreon)

Cora decided to take a spontaneous winter hike on her own. Bundled in her favorite fleece-lined jacket, she followed a narrow, snow-dusted trail through the pines, her breath curling in the crisp air. The solitude was refreshing, but when she stumbled upon a hidden hot spring, steam rising in ghostly wisps from the water, she grinned. Stripping down to her bare skin, she eased into the warmth, sighing as it chased away the winter chill.

She was blissfully floating when she heard voices approaching. A couple of men entered the steamy room, their eyes widening slightly at the sight of her. They exchanged glances before walking in, introducing themselves with easy smiles. One, a rugged outdoorsman with stubble and a knowing smirk, commented on her boldness for hiking alone. The other man, broad-shouldered and dripping charm, simply said, “Mind if we join you?” with a grin that suggested he already knew the answer. Cora welcomed the company, laughing as the conversation flowed effortlessly, her natural charisma drawing them in like moths to a flame. The winter air may have been icy, but between the hot water and their playful banter, the night was just beginning to heat up.
