Lily’s Pov.
I look around the suite as I wait for Ryan. It has a sitting room and a bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The bedroom’s balcony has swimming pool while living room’s balcony has swing and fireplace.
Everything look luxurious even the bathtub. It is so big that five people could fit in it. It is more like a jacuzzi and I just want to have bath in it. Well Ryan would take his time maybe I should just relax for the time being.
As I fill up the tub, I call for food service and order for strawberries with chocolate dip and cucumber water. I place hot towel near one end and add scented bath oil for bubbles. After everything is done, a waiter knocks and brings in my order. After tipping him, I close the door behind him and place the tray near my bathtub.
I remove my clothes and sit down in tub after putting soft music on my phone. I take the beautiful small jar of cucumber water with straw in it. I sigh after I take sip of it. It is just 5 in the evening, so maybe Ryan would be here in an hour. By that time, I will be ready to meet him. It has been five days since I last saw him and I miss him so much. I wish he was here.
I close my eyes as hot water and music makes me feel warm and at ease. I hear a sound of door opening in distance and open my eyes slowly to see Ryan leaning
against the frame of bathroom door with longing in his eyes and smile in his face.
“Are you here seduce me Ms. Scott? If so then you don’t need to try much.” Ryan says as he removes his coat and shoes and comes close to me.
“Well then it would be easy to coax you then.” I say as I sit up as he bends down and I kiss him.
I feel sudden rush to tear his clothes away and feel his skin against mine. So I start unbuttoning his vest first then his shirt but then loose patience when he deepens the kiss so I tear it away and buttons fly everywhere.
I don’t care about it neither does he as I go to remove his shirt’s cuff links and then pants. With splash he comes inside the bathtub and I welcome him in my arms. We can’t stop ourselves from having each other and I stop Ryan from leaving me when we climax by telling him it is okay.
He picks me after that and helps me dry up. We lay naked in each other’s arms in the bed, under the sheets. I put my hand on his chest and make circles on it as he caress my head.
“Why didn’t you let me pull out?” He asks.
“Well we are safe for this two days as my period gets over this time. So we don’t need any protection.” I say with shy smile as I look up at him.
In a flash I am on my back and he looks down at me with glee in his eyes and says, “You mean to say in punishment of your absence for past one week and coming one week I can do whatever I like for next two days.”
“Yes, maybe.” I say as I giggle.
“Like I can do this.” He says as his one hand goes down to my pleasure point, “And this.” he says as he kisses top of my breast.
“Yes.” I say breathless as he spreads my legs further apart and we go for round two.
“What would you like to have for dinner?” Ryan asks as I lay on my stomach on bed after round three and shower.
It is 9 at the night and I am really feeling hungry. We did ate strawberries before round three and that’s what led to round three on the first place. I am in the robe and so is Ryan.
I look at the menu he gives me and say, “Umm… I want one fusilli with broccoli pesto with whatever red wine you choose and I want some ice cream for dessert.”
Ryan looks at me with devilish grin and I slap his arm to get his mind out of fantasies. I let him do something whatever he wanted with that chocolate dip but no more. I know he is just teasing me but the thought of having him do those things to me again makes my heart beat faster.
Ryan places the order and we sit on the couch and try to find good content to watch on TV while we wait for our dinner. Ryan picks sports channel and I get interested too. When our dinner comes, we argue which team would win as we eat it.
We make a bet on who would win. The bet is whoever wins will get to decide everything for two days and whoever loses the bet has to comply with that person. We make a deal and watch it. I was stupid to agree with the bet when I know nothing about this match or sport but I do it just for fun.
“You lost the bet, dear.” Ryan says suddenly making me come out of reverie. I was not even focusing on game but at him.
“Really? I thought I was gonna win.” I say.
“Well now you have to do whatever I say till Monday.” Ryan says with delight.
“Oh, Really! And what would be your first decree, my Lord?” I ask just for fun.
“That his lady strips.” He says with fire in his eyes.
“Now that would be scandalous, don’t you think?” I ask as I lightly touch his finger with my lips.
“I love scandal.” He says and I get up and do as he says by removing my robe ever so slowly.
“What else I have to do?” I ask.
“Come closer and I will tell you.” He says and I go near him.
The very next second I am in his arms straddling him on the couch. He tells me that he wants me this way and this way he gets me with all my being. Later he pick me up and covers me with bedsheet after laying me down on bed. When he joins me and I wrap myself to him and let sleep embrace me.
The next time I wake to his caresses and look outside to see it is early morning. After that morning exercise, I wake up straight at 11. I rub my eyes and look around to find Ryan but he is not in the bedroom. I hear his voice faintly from other room and get up slowly.
I see to my needs first in bathroom then wrap the sheets around me and go to find something to put on. I see him busy on phone and frowning. I see my robe on chair and wear as he looks at me. I go near him and see what is making him so stressed.
“Yes. I know Sarah. Okay… Yes… Make sure that it gets ready before that event. I don’t want any mistakes in this. Okay?… Fine I am hanging up now.” He says and puts down the phone.
I sit beside him and see an island with beautiful mansion’s blueprint beside it on his laptop. He puts the phone down and kisses my head then looks in the laptop.
“What is this?” I ask casually as I lay in his arms.
“It is the island for which I met Mrs. Jenkins. She and her husband co-owned it and I wanted it.” Ryan says.
“Oh! The one who was trying to make me jealous.” I say with a pout.
“Trying to… You were jealous.” Ryan teases me.
“Whatever. Tell me more about this.” I try to change subject.
“This island has two sides. One side has city and other side would have this mansion. Both belonging to us. The city earns from resort which would also get renovated and the mansion would be my gift for my parents on their anniversary.” Ryan says.
“So you are saying they are going to built something like that just in four months?” I ask in astonishment.
“There is already a mansion there. We are just renovating it to our style.” Ryan says as he writes something on laptop.
“Can I give some suggestions?” I ask.
“Yes. I am all ears to all your suggestions.” Ryan says as he bites my ear lightly.
“Ryan!” I exclaim.
We discuss things for an hour then have relaxing bath together. At lunch we order for black bean, corn, and spinach Enchiladas with chips and salsa. We also order for French dessert galette. Ryan already had his coffee but I am not in mood have mine so I only drink orange juice.
“Maybe you should add a conservatory too. And it should have all the exotic flowers. I heard from Richard that Heather always wanted to have one and spend her retirement looking after them.” I suggest as we have dessert in balcony sitting at swing.
“What else? What would you want if it was your mansion?” He asks maybe out of curiosity.
“I always had the hobby of having books wherever I go and read it whenever I wanted to and also I love swimming.” I say as I look at him with shy smile.
“Hmm… Books and water. I will think about something like that.” He says as he kisses my cheeks.
“So in which hotel is your booking?” He asks me suddenly.
“Eden Gardens.” I say.
“So have you booked room or someone else?” He asks and I get suspicious.
“I did. The wedding is on that venue only and I paid for it.” I say.
“Okay.” He says.
“Why were you asking me all that?” I ask him.
“Just to know where you will be and if it is safe or not. By the way would that man be there too?” Ryan asks.
“Which man?” I ask.
“That man who hugged you and asked you out.” He says with irritated look.
“Davis.” I say with teasing smile.
“Maybe you should not go without me.” Ryan says.
“Seriously Ryan! Why should I not go just because someone asked me out? I would be fine and Davis is a nice guy. He would not try twice on same woman.” I say to reassure him.
“Well however nice a guy is, his mind still thinks about possibilities. But I don’t want him to have it.” He says as he looks down at me.
“Why?” I ask.
“Because he doesn’t know but he should know that you belong to me, only me.” He says as he brushes my hairs away from my shoulder.
“Just like you belong to me.” I say and we show each other how much we belong to each other.
In the evening, we have pizza and cake and lots of fun together. The next day, we play some games in our room only. We play strip poker and chess. Then we swim in the balcony pool naked after covering the blinds on windows.
We try different cuisines and I feed him with my hands and so does he. We also watch some movies and also see if new job opportunities have come along. We discuss them and he lines up some interviews for me for next week after I come back.
At night before dinner, I take a last look at my packing and take out jeans and black t-shirt and jean jacket for tomorrow morning’s flight. My flight is at 8 but we have to leave two hours before departure as I have to check in my luggage.
It means I have to wake up so early and sleep early too. Ryan is busy on his phone, so I order dinner for us as he asked me to do so. I have noodle soup while for Ryan I order avocado chicken salad. In dessert, I order key lime pie.
I arrange everything and also pack his bag for him. I am going miss him so much. I wish he could come but he has work. I also don’t want keep this secret for long but I have to because of Richard.
I know Richard would be understanding about his son’s relationship with any girl but with his god daughter, I don’t know what he will do. That day he came for dinner and saw Ryan, he kept asking me about it. And everytime I lie, I feel guilty about it.
Maybe in few months our relationship would get stronger and we would reveal it to Richard and others. But sometimes I like the way things are because then I get the privacy and time that I need for it.
The room service knocks and I come out my thoughts to have dinner with Ryan. I bring in the tray and put it on coffee table as I see Ryan still on phone talking very seriously in the balcony. I stand near the balcony glass door and knock on it to get his attention.
“Okay I will meet you. Okay. Bye.” Ryan says and hangs up.
“Who was it?” I ask as he comes near me.
“Just a client. Let’s eat.” He says but I feel something odd about it. Maybe he is stressed.
We have dinner and I try to cheer him up by asking him about his school days. We talk till late and after making sweet love to each other, go for sleep in each other’s arms.
The next morning I get up at 5 and get ready fast too. Ryan gets ready too and brings his car and I sit in it. I check my sling bag to see if I have everything. Boarding Pass. Check. Phone. Check. Book. Check. Charger. Check. Rose?
I look at Ryan and smile when he winks at me. I put the rose’s strand between my book and put it inside. I see another few things too and relax as we ride towards airport. I take Ryan’s hand in mine and squeeze it, he in turns does the same and kisses my hand.
When we reach the airport, I look at him and we look in each other’s eyes. He can’t come with me inside, so I have to say goodbye to him hear only. He grabs me by neck and kisses me and I kiss him back with same passion.
“Text or Call me when you reach there.” Ryan says.
“Okay.” I say as I hold his hand.
“And enjoy yourself.” He says as he kisses my hand again.
“Okay.” I say.
“And keep away from other men especially that Davis guy.” He says and I chuckle.
“Okay. Anything else?” I ask.
“Miss me.” He says and peck my cheek.
I give him one last kiss and leave the car. I get my bag and wave at him as I go. He doesn’t leaves until I am inside the airport. I wave him from there and go inside. I wish I had packed only one bag instead of two big ones. But thank god it’s a trolley one so it is easy to carry it around.
After all the procedure, I have coffee in a cafe and wait for my flight time. When it comes, I get inside plane and show my pass to the air hostess. But instead of taking me to economy class she takes me to business class.
“I don’t think that is my seat. I have pass for economy class.” I say just to be clear that they are not playing any pranks.
“I know, Mam. But I think you got an upgrade. This is your seat.” She says and I sit down on a single seat near window with every luxury possible to fit in it.
“Thank you.” I say still confused. But that confusion gets clear when I get text from Ryan.
‘Enjoy your flight, Lily. Hope you like the change.’
I smile as I read it. So it was his doing. I thank him and turn off my phone after flight attendants announcement. I sit back and relax as I go to a new place second time this month.
