5. Chapter 4
Dominic
T he few hours I spent with Lulu yesterday were out of this world. She's smart, beautiful and looks adorable when she's blushing, which was most of the time because I was flirting like a madman. I don't know what it is about her, I'm spellbound.
The flirting flowed easily with her when it's never been like that with other women. She's just woken that part of me that wants to play and have fun. In short, she's special, and I want to spend the most time possible with her while she is here.
This morning I sent her a bouquet of flowers.
I know it's too much, too soon, but I couldn't help myself.
She deserves beautiful things, and I think I'm the one to give them to her.
I'm waiting at the lobby for her because I didn't want to go directly to her suite for her.
It's on the same floor as mine and I don't want her to know who exactly I am. Not yet, anyway.
As soon as the elevator doors open I see her smiling face turned towards me. I run up to her while giving her a once over. She looks fantastic and is in a bathing suit. It's hidden under a cover up, but it's practically see through.
"Hey, good morning."
"Hi, Dominic."
I grab her hand and pull her towards the terrace of the hotel. I offer her a chair and sit across from her.
"Are you ready for today's adventure?"
"We're snorkeling, right?"
"Yup. You are going to love it, my beauty."
"Will I have to wear those suits that people use for diving? There might not be a size big enough for me."
"No, we're staying mostly on the surface. The sea is calm today and the weather is sunny."
She lowers her eyes and looks upset about something. I reach out to her and place my index finger under her chin, lifting her face up.
"What's the matter?"
"Maybe we should do something else."
"The warm water will relax you and the things you'll see will amaze you. Why are you reluctant all of a sudden?"
"It's just. You look like that and I look like this."
"I only see an amazingly beautiful woman. You are a model, you should be used to having men look at you as if you're a cool glass of iced tea in the middle of the desert."
"I almost forgot your flattery."
"These. Are. Facts."
"Let's go then, prince charming."
She gives me a shy smile and I breathe a sigh of relief. I find her absolutely delicious and I want to eat her all up. If only I could tell her how I feel, she wouldn't have any lingering doubts, but I don't want to come on too strong and possibly scare her away.
We get up and I take her hand in mine again. That first time we touched I know we both felt an electric shock and it made me see her in a different light. Now I'm eager for every touch we share. We go to the parking lot for the resort where my Jeep is waiting.
I haven't driven it for the longest time because I haven't done any outdoor activities in the past few years. I was surprised it even started when I tried the ignition. I help her get into the passenger seat and lean across her to buckle her seat belt for her.
She looks flushed and I love that I have that effect on her. I move to my spot behind the driver's seat and put an address in the GPS.
"Where are we going?"
"We're going to Molasses Reef. It's about six miles from Key Largo. There's an abundance of marine life there to observe and enjoy."
"Sounds very nice. Thank you for doing this for me. Will all the tours and equipment be charged to my room?"
"Don't worry about that. It's on the house."
"You can't do that, you'll lose your job."
I reach for her hand and then give it a squeeze.
"Let me do this for you, Lulu."
"I…don't know how I feel about that. Do you do this a lot?"
"I told you. You're the first and probably last. Will you trust me?"
She looks unconvinced and I don't really know what to say. I have billions between my own money and the hotel shares, I can confidently say I've got it made money wise. But Lulu thinks I work at the recreation desk at the hotel.
It doesn't matter. I want to give my beauty the most amazing vacation she's ever had. I pick up her hand and give it a kiss.
"Live this adventure with me, Lulu. My beauty."
"Okay, Dominic."
That bright smile is back and I just know I'll spend the rest of my life making her happy. Oh god, I'm in deep trouble if I'm already thinking about the future.
We take a boat to the Reef and spend the next two hours viewing tropical fish and brain coral. I brought my underwater camera and take various shots of her enjoying the experience. Several times I almost kiss Lulu, but she's acting shy around me once more.
For lunch we enjoy some seafood in a rustic seaside restaurant and I can see that the sun has made Lulu's freckles appear all over her face.
"I think we should have used more sunscreen."
"Oh god, my freckles are showing, aren't they?"
"They look cute on you."
"I don't trust you. Would you tell me the truth if I looked awful or would your flattery overtake your every word?"
"I'm being honest."
"Hmmm."
"If you knew, how attracted to you I am right now, and the things I would do to you if I had the chance, you would trust me implicitly."
Her eyes pop open in surprise as I grab the bottom of her chair and pull it to where I am. Her face is flushed once again and her mouth is hanging open. I take advantage of this and lower my mouth to hers. I invade her mouth at once with my tongue and search for hers.
Our tongues frolic and dance a very indecent dance that only adults are allowed to partake in. I deepen the kiss even though we're in public and after a few seconds I can hear Lulu letting out small moans of pleasure.
Since I claim to be a gentleman, I pull back. My beautiful Lulu is a mess and breathing hard as if she's run a mile. I need to taste this woman before the day is out.
"Maybe we should go somewhere more private." She says.
I'm surprised, but delighted. I ask for the check and we're on our way back to the hotel. We're both silent on the road, mostly because neither of us wants to break the spell I've woven with my lusty kiss. When we enter the lobby a group of women accost Lulu asking her where she's been.
I fight valiantly to keep her in my arms, but this crowd of women is too rowdy for me.
"We want to spend time with our friend!"
"I'll send her to you in fifteen minutes, I promise, ladies."
I grab Lulu and carry her bride style and take her to the spa that we have at the hotel. The employees eye me when I come in, but they all know me and don't say a word. I find us an empty massage room and lock the door behind me.
"Dominic, oh my god, they're going to know what we're doing here."
"Do you want to go back?"
"No."
"Then hold on for a wild ride."
