Finally the day of the fund raiser had arrived, and the dinner had gone well. Yanis had looked heart stopping handsome in his black tuxedo, and Lee had worn a vivid red cocktail dress, which hugged her perfect figure, making him watch her with a smouldering look, which the press had quickly seized on, later reporting of the golden future for the golden couple.
He had given a speech, which Lee had stood in wonder listening too, as he spoke of the need to support children in care and to ensure that they had the same opportunities as other children. As he had finished he had felt a strange warmth, seeing her clap her face lit up with that wonderful smile, which still had the power to transfix him.
It had then been her turn as she had introduced the children of the orphanage, as they had performed three routines, which had the audience on their feet. Lee had danced a final routine with one of the older boys, which was a ball room tango, which had stunned Yanis, who could only watch in wonder at how she had moved so sensually and yet gracefully around the stage.
The faces of the children had made him feel so emotional, as she had pulled them all back onto the stage, introducing each and every one of them, her dazzling smile showing how proud of them she was. He had watched her, wondering again how someone like her could do what she had to so many men. He knew that Jim had not been her only victim having witnessed the scene between her and David Jones, and he had wondered how many more there were. Frowning he wondered if the tears she had cried could have been real, forcibly making himself push down the memories of the hospital. She was starting to crawl under his skin, and Yanis knew that if he had any sense then it would have to end. Lee Andrews had to go, before….before what he thought to himself frowning even more deeply.
That evening Lee had been in a happy mood, as she had laughed describing how the children had told her about their plans
“It was so wonderful Yanis” she had cried, her eyes sparkling brightly
“They are planning on starting a dance club, and Jamie was talking about “taking it on the road” she giggled mimicking the eldest of the children, who was also the most street of the group.
“Of course, he also has decided that I am to be his lady” she chuckled, her eyes laughing at Yanis, who had laughed back at her
“Oh really” he retorted “a wicked smile playing on his lips.. Is he into older women then?”
She had looked at him with a mock shocked look
“I’ll give you older, old man” she laughed, giggling as he had grabbed her pulling her onto the bed before tickling her
“Care to take that back” he chuckled, as she had squirmed uncontrollably under him laughing while begging for mercy. As he stopped and looked into her eyes, he found the words he had practiced all night driving home disappearing as he pulled her into his arms suddenly needing to be part of her, to make love to her, which was exactly what he did as she sighed deeply her whole being wanting the same as him.
The next morning, he had crept into the room carefully moving back under the covers, as she had turned to look at him.
“Good morning… what have you been up to” she giggled gently.
“I thought you were asleep” he had smiled down at her as he had raised himself onto one arm
Lee had laughed, “nope”
“Well in that case, I wondered if you might like to go somewhere nice this weekend”
Lee had smiled “Anywhere special in mind” she had asked, her whole being filling with happiness at the thought of having him to herself for the whole weekend
“Actually I do” he said huskily against her neck
“I promised I would take you to my island in Greece” he said gently, as she had gasped in surprise
“Well this weekend seems as good as any” he had said, seeing the way her eyes had shone up at him
“I would love to see your island” she had said softly, before adding with a chuckle
“Does that mean I get to go on your plane again….because that was so cool”
He had laughed back at her smiling happily “well OK then” before he moved in to kiss her
A few hours later they were once again flying in the luxury of his plane, the two of them laughing and chatting happily. When they had landed a car had taken them to the harbour where a boat had met them before taking them to Yanis’s island half an hours boat ride from the mainland. As they neared it Lee had gasped in wonder. The green of the mountains against the yellow sandy beaches sat majestically within the azure of the sea, and she had looked at him with shining eyes
“It really is beautiful” she said softly, as he had looked down on her with such an inscrutable look in his eyes, the sea breeze blowing his black hair across his handsome face.
