“You stand on the phytoplankton, tiny little microbes and it embeds them in the sand with a glow.”
“It’s magnificent.Take a picture, please. I want to remember this moment forever.”
He clicks several with his iPhone before storing it safely back inside his shorts pocket. “Now, let’s go inside and let me warm you up, baby and finish what we started. I want to make sweet love to the woman I’m madly in love with. Prepare to be exhausted tomorrow - we’ve a long night ahead, do you think you’re up for it? I’d be happy to forgo a night of passion if you’re too tired, for a movie night.”
I shake my head. There was no way I wanted to watch a movie now. Right now I wanted to show my gorgeous God how much I loved him in every way. “Let’s go to bed.”
“I love you, you know that.” He rolls the words of his tongue so easily, he smiles at his comment. “I like saying it.”
I like hearing it. “Seb?”
“What does this mean? About us?”
“I don’t know, baby. But I love you and we always knew that one night would never be enough, let alone one month, so let’s see how things go, ok?”
“OK.”
Sebastian Silver is my future and now that I know he loves me too, I can begin to trust in that; like I trust in him.
I am the most blessed woman on the planet. I have a man who loves me, is the most magnificent lover in the universe and makes me laugh everyday. I’ve never felt more beautiful - nor more at ease.
Warmth fills me as my memory filters pictures of last night in flashes of eroticism. God, the man was insatiable! I’d had to sneak out of bed at 7am this morning so I could have a shower and get dressed; alone. I’d needed to gain some clarity. We also needed to explore. I hadn’t left the villa since arriving on Sunday and I know its not that type of holiday, but I’m keen to go to what normal couples do.
I sip my tea by the pool, and take a nibble from the exotic fruit platter Mohammed had delivered only minutes earlier, enjoying the sounds of the sea. Something catches my eye and I turn in the direction of the glass patio doors, where my tanned God is now leaning casually, against them, in nothing but a pair of faded khaki shorts,which ride low on his hips; I’m drawn to the dark line of hair that travels down his ripped stomach and disappears under his waistband. My insides buzz at his gorgeousness. My hand itches to follow the path to the treasure at his groin. I lick my lips.
“What are you thinking about, Princess?”
“Nothing.” You. Always you.
“Bullshit. Don’t lie to me, Lu.”
I watch him swagger towards me, lift my lips for a long lingering kiss and smile, as he collapses in the seat in front of me. His eyes are sherry coloured this morning with light crinkles at the corners - amazing what a bit of sun can do to an already perfect face and body. He looked like a movie-star, smiling sexily across the table at me, now tucking into a slice of melon, his tongue licking a stray bit of juice. Ahh, God. Liquid pools between my thighs. That is all it takes, a flash of his tongue, the thought of it on my own juices.
“So, I’m waiting…What are you thinking about?”
“You.”
We stare at one another, intensity building, as the sea whooshes in the background, the sun beginning to make it’s real entrance for the day, dropping a layer of heat across my skin.
“Why did you escape me this morning?” he pops a grape into his mouth provocatively and I squeeze my thighs together.
“I needed to think.”
“That’s the last thing you need to do Lu. You need to just relax and go with the flow.”
A piece of pineapple follows and I bite my lip hard as my nipples harden.
“You tend to over-think things.” He breaks our eye contact and enjoys the view. “I woke and you were gone. I didn’t like it.”
“You were fast asleep. I wanted to let you rest.”
“And I wanted to wake up with my cock buried deep inside your hot little pussy, but instead, I got an empty bed.”
“Don’t be mad; now you know how I felt the other morning. Let’s do something today - we’ve not done anything together other than you know what and eat since we arrived!”
“And your point is?”
God he’s sexy and now I’m all tongue-tied and I’ve forgotten what I was trying to say. Ah yes. “My point is that I want to experience something together on this beautiful island - away from the villa - with you today. It’s our last day together in The Maldives. Any ideas?”
One corner of his mouth lifts in a sulky smile. “As a matter of fact I do and it involves getting you very very wet.”
