The One Addicted(79)
He is all mine.
Something bright flashes to my right and I move to see the psychedelic commotion, before beaming at the familiar face, dressed in a rainbow kaftan and denim hot pants.
Abby.
“Oh. My. God! Yay! You’re here - about bloody time!”
“Hi my lovely. We made it!”
“Where’s Seb?”
I throw a hitchhiker thumb in his direction and see that his brother Na has joined him at the desk.
We embrace and I squeeze my best friend tightly. “All good?” she draws back and peers inquisitively at my face.
“Fabulous - just what we needed. It was amazing, Abs.”
“I’m so glad Hun. We’ll talk tomorrow - in privacy. I want full details whilst we shop till we drop!”
“Oh yeah, I need to find something to wear for this party - oh to have Suzie and Dolly’s Boutique in the Middle East now.”
“Yep - but do not fear - the malls here are to die for and the shops in the hotels alone would put the one in the movie Indecent Proposal to shame. We’ll find a little something to make Seb’s jaw drop - I promise.”
I hug her again - I’ve missed her loads. “Have you and Nathan seen much of Dubai?”
Her eyebrows reach her hairline in utter disdain. “We did take afternoon tea at the Burj Al Arab hotel - that was divine and sooo elegant and I visited some fabulous Art Galleries but to be honest, babe, we’ve hardly left the hotel bedroom - wait until you see it - fuck me it’s gorgeous. The men have organised the best of the best for us. I could live in the bathroom alone - seriously.”
Our giggles can be heard as we head over to the lifts, like a couple of schoolgirls. “I need a shower and change - it’s so hot here - it was hot in the Maldives but there was a breeze there at least - here it’s just….”
“Sweaty bollocks!”
I laugh openly. “Yes - sweaty! God, I’ve missed you, babe.”
“Tell me about it. You’ll love it here, chick honestly, but it is a total pain as we have to cover up a bit outside the hotel, well more than I normally would but that’s not saying much!”
“I know Seb mentioned. I’ll just be glad to shower, change and we can meet for dinner tonight - sound good?”
“Sounds like a plan.” Sebastian’s husky voice interrupts us, placing a palm at my back. “Abby - looking lovely as ever.”
She preens under his compliment and I focus upon Nathan, who’s narrowed eyes and furrowed brow, are a surprise. He looks pissed and something tells me it’s at Seb and his casual flirting. Me-thinks Mr. Nathan Silver likes Abs more than he realises.
I laugh as he gets his revenge, leaning into me and leisurely placing a kiss on each cheek, before whispering in my ear, “Just play along.”
“Lu, darling - how was The Maldives?”
I glance across at Seb and see the exact same furrowed worry line, indented across his forehead - ha ha, men are so funny. It gives me a little buzz to think he’s not keen on any man touching me, even his brother.
“Na - great to see you. Maldives was magical - I’ll never forget it. You must go.”
He hits the button for the top floor and winks. “Good good. Glad you two recuperated, now it’s time to party. Meet back in a hour for drinks and then we’ll go grab a bite to eat?”
We all agree, as the door dings open and jovially head off in the direction of our suites, which are located just a few doors away from one another.
Holy crap! “This place is unbelievable.”
“Good huh!”
“Oh, what I’d have given to work on a place like this.”
I wander around the luxury suite with my mouth open in awe, checking out each nook and cranny, cupboard, lounge, his and hers bathrooms with twin sinks and walk-in wardrobe. Blinking back at him over my shoulder I repeat, this time out loud, “Holy Crap!” before launching myself on the monstrous silver bed. My beautiful man joins me, straddling me, tickling and pulling uncontrollable laughter from me until I can’t take anymore and then with one locked gaze, he stops. Swooping in, the mood changes entirely to one of pure dominance. His kisses are hard and crushing and so fucking good I can’t breathe, think or concentrate on anything but the sensations rippling through me and pooling between my thighs.
“Only the best for you, baby.”
“Release me, Mr. Silver, I need to get ready if you want to go out in an hour.”
“How about we shower together? That would speed things up.”
“Not. A. Chance! Every time you and I go anywhere near a shower or water for that matter we get very very dirty.”
“Sounds great to me.”
“Not tonight. I’ll have a quick shower, as I take longer, if that’s Ok and then you can jump in after me?”
