Chapter 43
Clichés aren’t always bad
Alex
Never in my life have I taken this much time away from work, but I fully plan to do it often in the future.
After the busyness of the days leading up to Lizzie’s wedding and the complete insanity that was the actual wedding—or non-wedding—and the days that followed, I think everyone was ready for a break.
I was ready to get Amelia all to myself for more than a few hours.
Hawaii might be cliche and overdone as a vacation spot, but it’s been exactly what we’ve needed.
Five days here, just the two of us in a house Amelia thinks I rented but I actually bought once I saw just how much she loved it, has been nothing short of heaven.
We’re right on the beach and we’ve spent hours in and out of the water.
We’ve napped in a hammock in the backyard, eaten at some of the best local restaurants, and soaked in the huge tub.
Of course, we’ve spent a lot of our time here naked and exploring each other.
We’re heading back to New York in a couple of days, but Amelia’s apartment has already been cleared out, and her things have been moved to the penthouse.
“You don’t think taking a week off every quarter is too much?
” she asks me, trailing her fingertips along my stomach.
A warm breeze flutters the gauzy curtains on the big, open doorway at the back of the house.
With the lights out and all the glass around us, it almost feels like we’re lying outside under the stars but the plush carpet under our naked bodies is a lot softer than the grass.
“No, sunshine, I don’t think it’s too much.”
“Okay, but we can’t do that plus long weekends in Washington monthly.”
“Why the fuck not?” I have one arm wrapped around her with my hand on her hip and the other folded under my head. “I’m the boss. We can do whatever the hell we want to.”
She hitches her leg over mine and laughs that melodious laugh I can’t get enough of. “That you are, Mr. Delgado.”
“Fuck, don’t start that. Do you have any idea what that does to me?” As if to prove my point, my cock starts to harden again.
She lifts her head from my chest to look at me, her blue eyes filled with shock. “What? I thought you didn’t like it!”
“I like it too goddamned much.”
“I see that.” She smirks and runs a finger up the underside of my dick, making me groan. “This happens every time I say Mr. Delgado?” Her voice has taken on a husky, lusty tone, and I think I could come from the combo of her voice and her words.
“Yes.” I move, flipping her onto her back, causing her to squeal and giggle. “You can’t just start saying it all the time now.” I settle over her, pressing kisses to her neck.
“Are you sure?” She pouts, and I nip at her lower lip.
“Alright, you can, but only on one condition.”
“What’s that?” Her eyes twinkle as she looks up at me.
I reach for my shorts a few feet away on the floor and the ring tucked in the pocket. Holding it up, I grin down at her as she gasps. “Alex!”
“You can call me Mr. Delgado all you want to, as long as I can call you Mrs. Delgado.”
And like the sassy ass she is, she lifts an eyebrow at me. “Is that an official proposal?”
“Do you want me to get down on one knee and ask you to marry me? Because I will, Amelia. I’ll get on both knees and beg.”
She wraps her legs around my waist, bringing my cock to slide between her slick pussy lips.
“Put the ring on my finger, Mr. Delgado.”
I do as she says, and as soon as it’s on, she grabs the back of my neck to pull me in for a scorching kiss.
She moves to roll us and slides down onto my cock.
The sight of her playing with her nipples with my ring on her finger while she rides me until she throws her head back as she comes? My fucking undoing. Absolute bliss.
She collapses onto my chest, and I wrap my arms around her.
When we come back to ourselves, she chuckles. “Even in the boardroom while it’s full of clients?” she asks, referring to the many office meetings where she’s addressed me as Mr. Delgado.
“Why the hell do you think I nod instead of walking around the table to shake hands? Instant raging hard-on like a horny teenager.”
“I’m so excited to get back to work.”
I let out a loud laugh. She calms my soul and keeps me a little wild all at the same time.
Life with Amelia will be anything but boring, and I can’t fucking wait.
