the most ideal. But here we are, so let’s just try and enjoy our time together. Do you think we can try to be civil towards one another?”
His unexpected words deflated her anger. She never would’ve thought he would be the one to initiate a truce between them. Would it be so difficult to be polite to him? She didn’t think so. Not giving into the desire she felt whenever he came near her was another matter altogether.
“Well?”
“I think I can manage that. Can you?” She felt it only reasonable to ask the same of him.
“Shouldn’t be a problem.” He checked his watch. “Why don’t you relax, take advantage of the resort’s facilities. I’ve got a meeting to attend, but I should be back in time for dinner.”
Deciding to put into practice her recent vow to get along with him she asked, “Would you like me to order room service?”
“No, I’ve already made arrangements for dinner. No need to dress up, but bring a jacket, it may be warm now but the evenings cool down quite quickly.”
With those final words he walked out the door. The moment it snicked shut the tension in her muscles oozed out. She took in the surroundings of the sitting room. Like the reception area it was nothing short of sumptuous. The artwork adorning the walls belonged,not in a resort, but in any art gallery in the world. How she wished she and Lukas were here under different circumstances. Happier circumstances. Anything but what they now found themselves in.
Making her way from the sitting room, she entered the one and only bedroom where her gaze fell on the king size bed dominating the room. A movie started playing in her mind. She was powerless to stop the images of herself tangled in the sheets with Lukas.
The movie unfolded with her trailing kisses down his lean, muscular chest. His hands busy as they delved into her hair encouraging her to go lower. Closing her eyes didn’t banish the images, it only enhanced them. Her hand stroked his hard length, before bending to kiss the tip, tracing her tongue around the head of his cock. Before she could take him in her mouth, he pulled her away, taking her mouth in a savage kiss. His lips practically devoured hers with his passion. Showing his superior strength he flipped her over and without any preliminaries entered her. Sweat glistened like melting icicles in the sun over their bodies as they moved in a rhythm all of their own.
The screech of a gull as it flew past the window jolted Jasmine from her daydream. She stilled momentarily. Was it just a daydream brought about from her early response to Lukas’s kiss or was it a memory?
She shook her head vigorously to dispel the unbidden thoughts. Wanting air she headed towards a set of doors that led out to a balcony. She inhaled deeply and the faintly sea scented breeze filled her nostrils, cooling her flushed cheeks. She was surprised to see their villa had an ocean view. Upon arriving she had no idea just how close they really were to the ocean. It was easy to imagine sitting out on the deck with a cool drink in her hand while watching the sun set. If romance was their market then the resort owners had achieved their goal. Romance seeped from every corner of the resort.
Sighing heavily, she turned her back on the view. The last thing she needed to think about was romance or making love with Lukas.
She made her way back to the bedroom, looking anywhere but at the bed as she entered the bathroom. Her makeup bag sat on the bench, nestled closely to Lukas’s. Another feature of the resort, staff, who were discreet and efficient. It seemed that while they had been checking in, their luggage had been brought to their villa and essential items had been unpacked.
In one corner sat a huge bath, the temptation to have a leisurely bubble bath was overwhelming, but after her last experience in the bath it was probably safer to have a shower instead.
Once the temperature was to her liking, she slipped under the needlepoint spray,
