9. Chapter 8
Dominic
I t's been several days since we first had sex, and I've spent every free moment Lulu has with her. Things are getting intense, and usually I would mind. This woman is something else, though. I can't stop thinking about her, nor do I want to.
Today I'm giving her a surprise and I hope she likes it.
The only thing that is bothering me is that she seems to be thinking ahead towards a future I can't see yet.
I'd have to confess the one thing I haven't told her.
That I own a big part of this company and don't really need to work another day in my life if I didn't want to.
I knock at her door and she comes out in a bikini I found for her two days ago. She looks gorgeous in it and I can't wait to peel it off her when we get to our destination.
"You are a sight for sore eyes, beauty."
"Thanks, where are we going today?"
"It's a surprise, but you said you had the whole day off, right?"
"Yup. Trust me, my friends are not happy about it."
"Do you need me to talk to them?"
"And say what? That I need a whole day of sexing up?"
"I'm a gentleman. I wouldn't say it like that."
"Just take me away Dom."
I give her a kiss in the lips and grab her hand. The area where I'm taking her is only fifteen minutes away by foot. It's part of the resort, but only VIP's of the company get to use it.
"Do you have sunscreen in that big bag of yours?"
"Always." She says, a beautiful smile on her face.
When we get to the cabana I've requested, I take out my key and jiggle it in front of Lulu's face.
"This place is beautiful, Dominic. Are you sure we can be here?"
"I have my ways."
I bring her inside and take her through the kitchen, directly to the back of the cabana, where the private pool is at.
"Oh my god, this is amazing."
"And it's all ours for the day."
My bright smile seems to appease her and she goes and sits down in one of the lounge chairs that sit around the pool. She puts her bag down and takes her hat off. Inside her bag is the sunblock so she takes it out and takes her coverup off.
"Help me with this?"
Her tone is low and sexy and it goes straight to my cock. I take the sunblock in hand and open it. She gives me her back and I start applying it. Her skin is soft and the sun has already warmed her up. My breathing starts to grow faster, remembering all of our sexcapades from the past few days.
When I've done her back and her arms, she turns around and gives me a soft smile. I love it when she looks at me like that. It's like she has some deep dark secret and won't tell me until I've surrendered to her. It wouldn't take long, either.
"How about you?"
"What?"
"Where did you go just now?"
"Just remembering the past few days."
I take my shirt off and let her apply the cream all over my body. I don't think she realizes it but all the time she's doing that she's been humming a song. I can't identify what it is, but this tells me she's happy and enjoying herself.
"Do you think the water is cold?"
"If it is, it will only be for a few moments. Come on my beautiful Lulu, swim with me."
It's still early in the morning so the water is still a bit cold, but as soon as we're in deep enough I take Lulu into my arms and start kissing her. I don't stop until I'm breathing hard again and need to come up for air.
"Such a good kisser." She mumbles.
Our eyes meet and I suspect that she's up in her head and will start up with the topic of the future. One topic I do not want to talk about.
"Dom, is this just fun in the sun?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, do you see us long term?"
I push back a bit from her and kick myself mentally when I see her grimace in response.
"When do you leave?"
"You know this already, I leave Sunday evening."
"Can't we wait until Saturday to talk about this and just enjoy the time we have until then?"
Her face is so expressive, but this time it's showing disappointment. She hesitates and I feel her building back that wall that I so carefully destroyed to get to her heart. Why did I do that? Why am I hesitating? A thought comes to me and it's like immediately she plucks it from my mind.
"Is this about your parents? They loved you. They didn't want to leave you."
I change the subject back to the matter at hand. I'm not feeling like I want to be psychoanalyzed right now.
"Why is knowing our relationship status this important to you?"
"I guess I like to look into the future. It helps me relax into the present because I'll know that you'll be there in a few weeks and we'll be having fun together."
"This is my home, this is where I work."
"I could hold the fort while you get something in guest services back in Boston."
"Is this going to be an issue?"
She tenses and I realize I've messed up. I've hurt her feelings and I don't even know why. I can offer her everything she would ever need in this lifetime and the next. I look at her and find she's already getting out of the pool.
Before I know it, she's got her bag and is leaving the cabana. I stay behind only because I know I'm a bastard and could have avoided this whole situation by just being honest with her. When I get back to the office I text her, but she doesn't write back.
The next day I have a meeting with my brothers so I need to suit up and be the Marketing Director once again and a part of the board of directors of the company.
Being with Lulu has changed me and I miss her horribly and I realize I've got a lot of thinking to do. Otherwise I might lose her forever.
