I dropped gently over her as the kiss continued, slow and sweet. I felt her love with every sweep of her tongue against mine, as well as with the way she kept holding me close. “Stay with me for this trip,” I whispered once she pulled away to take a breath. “I like this too much to be away from you.”
“Yes. I want to,” she replied, and I smiled and kissed her again. We fell asleep in each other’s arms before the alarm went off in the morning.
Our day started with a quick round of lovemaking before we poured ourselves cups of coffee. Lily looked at me in the light of the sun that shone through the windows of the kitchen. “I think I should get the key to my room, just to avoid any suspicion.”
“Do they even check that kind of stuff?” I asked in a challenging tone as she raised an eyebrow at me. Damn, Lily was beautiful with her fresh, clean face in the morning.
“The company paid a lot of money for it, so I should make it look like I’m using it. Maybe we can go back and forth between the two or something. It would throw people off.” Her eyes were hopeful as she looked at me, and I let my bare shoulders drop as her eyes smoldered.
“I am not going to out this, not here,” I told her as she stared at the warm red of the kitchen tile with a sad look.
“Great. I can worry about you with your colleague and you can agonize about who is looking at me. That sounds amazing.” Her voice was soft and a touch sarcastic, and I set my cup on the marble counter and stepped forward.
“I will let the world know that I am with you right now, if that’s what you want.” Lily stared at me as I took her cup to move it to the counter before pulling her close to me. “Just say the word.”
“No. I’m not ready for that. We’ll just keep it hidden during this trip,” she said as I stroked her robe-covered back. I hadn’t wanted her to say that, but I knew that she was right. We had to do that for now so that the entire company wouldn’t be talking about us. Lily showered and then dressed in a pretty pink and purple sundress with sandals before she made her way to the lobby. There was just enough time for her to grab her key before we were to meet for the brunch. While she was gone, I dressed slowly in some casual slacks and a button-up shirt in a soft green that brought out my eyes, according to Candy.
Candy was a thing of the past. I thought about her, and the last time I’d seen her, for a moment as I slipped my feet into some comfortable shoes. She had known that was the last time as well, guessing right that I was into another woman.
There was a tap at my door, and I opened it to see Lily, who stepped inside quickly. “I got the cottage just to the right. It’s at the end of several and might offer a bit more privacy. There’s just the beach.”
“I still think we should keep the windows covered,” I told her, remembering how Marilyn had come wandering by that first day. I didn’t think she would stay away, despite my brushing off her advances. There had been something in her dark eyes that had told me she was a woman who went after what she wanted, and being caught with Lily by Marilyn concerned me a bit. “They’re just thin cotton curtains, so there is still light in the day.”
“I want to make love with the doors open, listening to the waves. I don’t want to use curtains and blinds.” Her mouth was set in a pout, making me hate her indecision right now. I wanted the same.
“We can light candles and do that in your room. Nobody will see anything but the dim light. We’ll just have to keep from screaming,” I murmured as I pulled her against me and kissed her.
“I don’t want to,” Lily told me in a torturous, teasing tone just before our kiss deepened. I knew we didn’t have time for what I wanted, but I pushed her over to the couch and lifted her skirt as she moaned against me anyway.
Lily
I gave myself to him there on the couch. I pushed him down onto his back and we undressed just enough for me to ride his cock hard and fast. I was addicted to Landon’s body, to his mind. I came twice on top of him, once before his release and then after at the feeling of his heat filling me. He was the perfect man.
Once I redressed, I took my stuff over to my cottage after making sure there was nobody around. It was slightly smaller than Landon’s, with just one huge bedroom, but that room faced the ocean and nothing else. There were no paths that would cross in front of the window and no reason other than the beach for anyone to be out there. The beach was long though and people could go to the other side. This stretch was all mine. I chuckled, knowing how many people were here who might use this part of the beach. They had every right to, but I wanted the perfect week with Landon. That included a private beach and a room we could open to hear the waves as he took me in my bed.
Maybe there was no perfect scenario for us. Maybe this was all it was and would ever be—stolen nights together while we were away from home. I thought about Brian with guilt, realizing I hadn’t checked my phone since I’d arrived. I walked over to my purse, pulled it out, and saw that it desperately needed charging. I pulled my charger out of my luggage and plugged it into the wall near the kitchen counter. I hooked up my phone and watched as it started to charge.
I checked my texts, seeing a few from Brian asking me if it was awesome here. He sounded positive in them and said that he was doing some stuff with the guys while I was away, as well as working.
My aunt had called as well, checking to see how I was doing. She knew all about my trip and had asked if it was as gorgeous as the pictures she’d seen. I told myself I’d call her later, but I did take a picture of the view from my deck and send it to her. Her response made me laugh.
I left my phone there to charge and locked the door to the cottage before I headed to the conference room where brunch was. I was going to meet Landon there, as I would for all the events, and I strolled along as I took everything in during the daylight hours.
The flowers were beautiful and the scent was intoxicating as I passed by. The grounds were perfectly kept, making me stop to look a few times before I walked through the lobby and found the conference room we were converging in. It was a large room with several round tables and a wall of windows that displayed the beautiful courtyard of the resort, and the view made me stop and smile. My eyes wandered over the room and caught Jasmine standing beside her own boss. Then I took in Landon, who was looking right at me.
He was all man, standing confidently near the drink table as he held a glass of something in his hand. His stance screamed that he was comfortable with himself and knew that everyone saw that, and I couldn’t blame any woman for wanting him. The look in his eyes told me I was it for him, though, and I smiled his way as a flush passed over my cheeks. I wandered over to the beverage table and took a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice before I glanced at the buffet-style spread on another long table. It looked delicious and my mouth watered as I sipped the juice. There was eggs and bacon, fresh fruit piled up on trays, some seafood, and a variety of other options. I thought about how I’d need to practice some self-control so as to not gain too much weight here, but then that made me laugh.
I’d be working off every calorie I ingested.
I gave Landon a look that made his eyes smolder. I was happy to see that Marilyn was focusing on another man this morning and that men surrounded Landon.
“Hey, there,” Jasmine said, and I smiled at her as she joined me. She was wearing a gorgeous burnt orange dress.
“Good morning. How are you?” I asked warmly, seeing her curious gaze.
“You seem better today,” she said as she grinned. “And I’m good. I slept well, and if that food doesn’t get me going, I don’t know what will. What are you doing later?”
“I think Landon told me he wanted to show me a particular beach or something. He’s been here several times for these things,” I said, and she smiled and nodded.
“Vince offered the same thing. He’s very familiar with the area, and he mentioned scuba diving. I’m terrified!” I chuckled at her girlish laugh, knowing there was nothing between them apart from a boss and employee relationship. I was a little jealous until I met Landon’s gaze again and felt the desire in his eyes.
We took seats for the meal and listened to more new laws and policies that the company needed to follow. I took notes on my tablet in between bites of food, making sure to be clear about them so there would be no confusion later. I filled up on fresh tropical fruit and avoided the mimosas so I could keep a clear head later on. Afterward, I hugged Jasmine good-bye as we promised to meet up for dinner later.
I headed back to my cottage when we were dismissed, knowing Landon was following close behind. He called my name on the path behind me, and I turned with a smile before leading him to my cottage. I showed him around, making a big deal about the added privacy, before I slipped my phone into a small purse. Landon insisted on rubbing sunscreen on me, leading to a great orgasm with his finger strumming my clit in the process. We headed out after that, taking the luxurious SUV he’d had delivered to the resort the day before. He told me that he was taking me to Xunantunich, a site of ruins. It was several miles away, but with his skillful driving, it seemed like we were there in no time at all. The drive was gorgeous, a lot of the scenery being the bright blue ocean and cliff views that were breathtaking.
