Blackmailed For Vengeance(47)

As the two of them has lain looking into each others eyes, they had not spoken just looked deeply at each other, neither willing nor able to talk.

Finally he had raised himself from her, pulling her up into his arms before the two had walked back to the villa, his arm around her shoulder, her arm around his waist. When they had arrived back at their room they had showered together, not making love but kissing and holding each other so sensually before laying on the bed and falling asleep wrapped in each others arms.

The next morning Lee had awoke still being held in his arms. She had watched his face, her heart breaking seeing the relaxed look. She longed to reach across and kiss those lips, but instead she had moved out of his hold moving to the shower before silently dressing and creeping out of the room. She had to get away from him, before she told him how she felt, before the words of love held so tightly within her could no longer be contained.

As he had woken up, he had looked around quickly for her frowning at not having her beside him. He had pulled on his clothes leaving the room in search of her. He had not found her anywhere in the house and as panic had began to clutch at him he had moved outside, moving towards the edge of the cliff and along the headway before spotting her.

Yanis had gasped in surprise at where she sat, sitting with her legs pulled up under her chin while sitting with her back against the large tree which clung to the edge of the cliff side as she stared out towards the sea, the breeze blowing her hair around her body.

As he had joined her, she had jumped slightly, smiling at him.

“I didn’t want to wake you” she said gently “but I needed some air” Yanis had swallowed hard sitting down beside her

“This was my mother’s favourite place to come and think” he said so softly looking at her thoughtfully

“I didn’t know” she said “I didn’t mean to upset you” she had added with a sigh

He had shaken his head, “No, I had forgotten until I saw you there” he said

“She always said that it helped to clear her mind, helped her make choices”

Lee nodded

“She sounds like a wonderful person” she had said gently, as he had nodded

“She really was” he said the memory of her suddenly filling him as he felt something deep within him tearing away. Taking her hand in his he had helped her once more to her feet

“Breakfast?” he asked, as she had laughed, smiling “I’m famished, are you cooking” she said as he led her back to the villa.

“Hell no” he had laughed “I don’t think either of us could handle that” Lee had smiled “shame… I would really like to see that” she had giggled flashing him one of her warm smiles, which lit up her face.

Later that afternoon they had swam in the aqua clear water before sitting on the wooden pier fishing.

Lee had smiled as she had looked over at him “Don’t you need hooks on the end of these if you want to catch fish” she had laughed as he had shaken his head

“Now Lee, you really haven’t understood the philosophy of fishing…. It’s not about catching fish… in fact if you catch a fish that’s when it gets messy” he had said, his face serious as he held back the laugh which had escaped her.

“My mistake, wise one” she giggled, enjoying seeing the fun playful side of his nature.

They had sat in silence a little while longer, both enjoying their peaceful surroundings, before he had turned to her a serious look on his face

“So what are you plans for the future Lee” he asked, as she had looked ahead before softly answering him

“Working with the kids at the orphanage reminded me of what I really wanted to do” she had said

“I guess that I would like to open that dance studio that I couldn’t when I was younger”

Lee had looked over at him

“What about you Yanis.. Do you have everything you ever wanted, or is their something still missing from your life”

Yanis had looked at her with a small frown on his face

“There is one thing I miss”, he said softly

Lee had raised her eyebrow in surprise “I thought you could buy anything”

“Not children” he had said so softly that Lee thought that she had imagined it.

He had looked across at her

“Don’t you ever think about settling down?”

Lee had tried hard to hide the hurt in her eyes, suddenly feeling the need to not have that talk with him as she had risen to her feet

“Well you know us gold diggers, Yanis” she said “When the right deal comes along I’ll think about it”

As she had started to walk away he had quickly caught up with her

“What the hell is that supposed to mean” he had asked her with a controlled anger in his voice
