Lily’s POV.
This has to be my second best birthday ever. The first was the one when my Dad bought me my first cycle and we had fun that day. But this day is no less too. It is becoming extra special because of beautiful memories added to it by Ryan.
The special one was at night. I still can’t believe what we did last night. I still feel his hands and lips on me. I look in the mirror as I comb my hairs. Ryan has already gotten ready and has gone downstairs to see if his housekeeper is gone or not.
His housekeeper would be here in morning to cook for breakfast and do preparation for lunch. For dinner, we could manage in our own. The cleaning is done when we are not here or we could leave so they could complete their work.
I woke up late and we took hours in bath because of Ryan and passion taking over us. After wearing robe we came out and Ryan got a bit busy with his phone as he got ready and I do the same.
Ryan told me to wear something casual. I wear jean shorts and simple blue top with walking shoes. He has yet to tell me where are we going so I take my jacket too. After tying my hairs in a messy bun, I go downstairs to see him packing picnic basket with our lunch.
“Where are we going?” I ask as I sit on the stool and grab a macron.
“You will know when we get there.” He says and comes around the kitchen island to give me a peck.
Even if this all is new to me, I like kissing Ryan a lot and wait for it to happen always. Maybe I shouldn’t wait for him kiss me and instead do what I like but I still feel some what conscious. He takes my one hand in his then tells me to hold blanket in one. He takes the picnic basket and we go towards the backyard.
The backyard has beautiful sitting area with fireplace for barbecue and small bridge above lake. The lake looks beautiful as always and the trees surrounding this cabin is so tall and green. We walk on a narrow path made of concrete.
“So we are walking.” I say just to start conversation after few minutes of walking.
“Yes. This whole area belongs to me but instead of cutting of trees and making resort, I renovated that cabin and kept the area as it is and made some small changes here and there.” He says.
“What changes?” I ask.
“Like this.” He says as we come to stop in front of a gazebo at another end of the lake.
This place is well hidden with tree branches and it’s shade gives cosy feeling to everything around it. I help Ryan clean the gazebo floor a bit then lay down the blanket and he puts the basket on it.
“So do you like it?” He asks as we stand near the railing and look over the lake.
“Yes. It is beautiful and so calm.” I say and close my eyes as I feel calmness surrounding me.
I feel Ryan’s arm on my shoulder as me nuzzles the side of neck. We stay like that for few minutes and enjoy the cool breeze. I wish we could stay like this forever and tighten my arms around him.
We look around the woods and talk for a while. He is thinking about adding more to gazebo and make small cottage at another end of lake. We discuss about as we enjoy the afternoon under the shade.
“Let’s have lunch now.” He says with a different glint in his eyes.
“Okay.” I say.
We sit down on the blanket and I open the basket to take out our lunch. Ryan takes the bottle of wine and two glasses from basket with a grin. I give him bottle opener and take boxes containing food.
First box has caprese sandwiches, second has mexican street corn salad, third has spring rolls and fourth has chocolate zucchini bread. I also take out small lightweight plates and spoons for salad. The basket now only has tissue and water bottle and a small box.
It is gift wrapped. I pick it up and look at Ryan who gestures me to open it. As Ryan pours the wine in glasses, I unwrap my gift with wide grin as even if it is the second gift from him, it still counts as first birthday gift. It is white box and I open it to see a simple single platinum chain necklace with lily flower pendant.
“How is it?” He asks with smile.
“It looks costly.” I say the first word that comes to my mind.
His face falls at that and before I could say anything he says, “Well it is, so what?”
“I mean it is beautiful and very pretty but I can’t accept such an expensive gift from you.” I say as I try not spoil his mood.
“I selected this gift myself and I have whole right to give you anything I like on your birthday. Gifts should not be judged how much it costs, it should be judged by the person’s intention to give it.” Ryan says.
“I know but…” I say and stop as I look at the necklace. It is really gorgeous only if it was not so expensive.
“Turn around.” Ryan says as he takes the necklace from my hand and waits for me to turn around.
“But Ryan-” I start to say but he comes around me and ties the necklace around my neck.
“There.” He says and comes to look at me with smile, “Now you don’t need to worry about it much. It looks beautiful on you.”
Ryan caresses the necklace then my neck, I feel the weight of it on my neck along with his breathe as he kiss the back of my head. I take a deep breath and relax. It is just a gift like any other gifts.
“Thanks.” I say and he smiles.
He fills our glasses of wine and gives me one and says, “Here’s to your birthday and coming year which will bring lots of happiness to you maybe because of me. Cheers.”
“Cheers.” I say with a smile and we both drink some wine and start having some food.
“How old have you turned today?” He asks.
“Twenty three. Why?” I ask as I eat spring roll.
“Just like that. I am twenty six by the way.” He says as he eats his sandwich.
We enjoy our lunch in beautiful silence and each other’s company. I see pair of white swam on lake and I give some corn to them. They eat it and then fly away. The space is wide and gazebo is also big made of stones and woods.
After lunch, we walk around and he shows me new places and things he wants to do with it to give it better feel. We come back to cabin after a while as his housekeeper informs him that house is ready.
“So what do you wanna do now?” He asks as we sit on the sofa in living room.
“I don’t know maybe just relax here only. I am feeling very sleepy so maybe I will take a nap for now.” I say as I feel my eyes getting heavy.
“Why don’t you go up to the room and sleep for sometime. I also have some work then after you wake up we will maybe go out for dinner.” He says.
“Fine.” I say and kiss his cheek then go up.
As soon as my head hits the pillow, I am go into slumber. I wake up to light touches on my cheeks and lips. I open my eyes and smile when I see Ryan hovering above me. I wrap my arms around him after lazily stretching and he bends and kisses my cheek.
“So I planned something for the evening.” He says as he lays on one arm still hovering above me.
I turn to my side and ask, “What have you planned?”
“What about birthday dinner in the living room and special dance with me?” He asks as he puts some strands behind my ear.
“Sounds good and relaxing. I actually didn’t wanted to go out.” I say as I smile at spending time with me alone.
“But there is still time in that. So wanna go for a swim in pool?” He asks and I look at the clock.
It is just 5 and the dinner would be after 7 so I say, “Okay.”
“Get your bathing suit and meet me downstairs. You know the way.” He says and gives me playful kiss and gets up.
“Yes. I would be there in five minutes.” I say as I get up too.
He leaves after taking his bathing suit and I go inside the closet to choose mine. Even though we have seen each other naked, it feels different to be in front of him in bathing suit in broad daylight.
I am just being stupid. I think that and choose whichever suit comes first in my hand and go to bathroom to change. It is blue and white floral colored two piece with high shorts and halter neck top with strings. I wear rob over it and go down to the room where there is an inside pool.
As I reach there my heart beats faster than before. Before it was because of nervousness and now because of him. He is taking laps in the pool and his strokes are strong and lethal more than last night and I feel pull down in my abdomen.
For a minute, I look at him moving with wonder. He notices me standing beside the pool when he turns around and gestures me with his finger to come to him. I come out of the daze and remove my robe. I dive in the pool and feel the cool water against my heated skin.
I forgot to tie my hair and pull it aside. He swims towards me and I feel naughty and swim away from him. I dodge him for a while and at some point we are opposite each other. He looks at me with heat in his eyes and a promise of something else. I don’t know why but I smirk at him to instigate him.
He swims towards me again and I look at him coming at me and just when I go to dodge him, he grabs my leg from under water. He tugs at my leg and wraps his arm around my waist. We come out of water and fight for breath.
As soon as I catch it, it gets snatched away by his kisses. I feel his hands on my back then on my hips and I feel a jolt when I feel evidence of his arousal. He puts my legs around his waist and I tighten my arms around his neck when I feel us moving.
The next second, I feel a soft towel on back and my top coming undone as I feel cool air on my chest. Everything is moving faster and we are on each other.
“We have go to room.” He says.
“Take me here.” I say as I can’t wait anymore.
“I don’t have protection here. Maybe… Wait a second.” He says and leaves me.
I look at him going in daze as he searches his pants which is lying next to the chair beside mine. He finds what he is looking for and comes to me again. This make me remember about last night. Did he wore that last night?
But before I could think further, he distracts me with his kisses which reignites my passion for him. He removes his swim shorts and I hear a rip of something. He removes my bikini shorts and looks at me before entering as if asking for permission. As if he needs it.
I lift my hips for him and he doesn’t need further indication as he enters me and I moan out in pleasure. I try to match his pace as I don’t want lie around while he works for my pleasure. I want him feel what I am feeling.
He groans out in pleasure when I bite his shoulder. Soon the climax comes knocking us completely down as the passion takes us to a whole new level. He lays down on chair and picks me up to lay down on him as we try to catch our breath.
“That was…” I say but can’t define in clear words what I felt.
“Amazing.” He says and I look up to see him smiling.
I remember something and ask, “Did we used protection last night?”
“Yes. But I wanted to ask you that are you on pills?” He asks.
“No. Why?” I say as I sit up.
“Well condom broke while we were doing it right now. So…” He says and I look at him shocked and count the days in my head.
I sigh in relief and say, “It is okay but we have to be cautious next time. My period is next week so it will be confirmed then. But there is nothing to worry about I think. It took two years for my mother to conceive Lucas and another seven for me. And also same goes for my grandmother, it also took her some years before she got pregnant with my Mom.”
He sigh and caresses my head and says, “So are you thinking about taking pills?”
“No. I took it once when Emma suggested me as I was in college or maybe I will find someone so I should be prepared. But after taking for a while I used to get sick and my doctor told me not to take pills like ever. So I never even thought about it.” I say and snatch his t-shirt from ground and wear it.
“Well don’t worry. I will be careful next time.” He says and looks down at me, “That t-shirt is revealing more than covering, you know that right?”
I look down and put my arms around as I slap his arm, “You are too much.”
“Really?” He says as he looks down at himself and I see what he is seeing and start hitting him.
He laughs as he catches my hand and kisses them. After that we get back to our room. Ryan showers first and insists me to join him but I deny him saying I have to clean up the mess we made.
I go down again wearing my robe and pick up his and mine clothes. I take them to utility room and decide to wash it later. I go to kitchen then and pour a glass of juice for myself as I feel thirsty.
Even though I have told Ryan not to worry about me having possibility of getting pregnant, I can’t help but worry about it myself. It is not right time for me to conceive. Ryan and I are maybe in a relationship but it is covert and it is still just in a beginning stage.
I have to be more cautious from now on and so does Ryan. I don’t want him get wrong ideas about me and I am not ready to be mother yet. I want to save something first for baby so that I don’t have to be dependent on anyone in case of emergency.
And if in case Ryan and my relationship progress then it won’t be a problem at all.
