BOUNDLESS DECEPTION: WILL LOVE PREVAIL?

CHAPTER SIX: LUCY

LUCY

My heart was pounding heavily. I didn't like this nice Aurelio. I wanted the cold and arrogant personality back. At least I'd know how to react to him. That person in the other room makes me feel things I never want to acknowledge. I couldn't deny the fact that I'm sexually attracted to him. There was no way I want him to notice my unrestrained response to him anytime he comes close or touches me. I still feel embarrassed that I responded fiercely to that kiss this afternoon. Though he caught me off guard, I should have still found a way to push him off me. Rather I welcomed it and made it escalate out of control.

"Lucie" I heard him call out. I tried to control myself as I turned to watch him come toward me with a couple of relaxed steps.

"Sorry, I don't seem to recall where I dropped my notepad," I said nervously because he was standing too close to me. My nearness to him has deepened my sense and made me aware of the physical attraction between us. It suddenly felt like the room temperature suddenly dropped.

"Maybe you should sit down. You suddenly don't look good." He said, out of concern

"I'm fine. I just need to look for the notepad. You can return to the living room, when I find it, I will inform you" I felt flushed and tried to sound collected, hoping to get rid of him so I can recompose myself. I couldn't believe I was acting like an i***t.

His icy blue eyes held mine for some long seconds before he nodded "Okay"

I watched him leave the room like a hawk. I couldn't help but challenge his intentions. Is he being nice to him so that I would lose guard around him? Why hasn't he tried to touch me? Does he find me boring? Will, he still be seeing other women?

I fidgetted in the direction of my thought. Why should I care if he finds me appealing or not?

I realize being alone with him here, is making me think and act unusual. I wished I brought the materials I was working on. This is going to be a very long holiday. At least he had work to keep him company.

Not wanting to return to the other room, I switched into my nightwear, moved to the right side of the bed, lay on it, and closed my eyes. All I could visualize while lying there was both of us in bed, completely naked. With him, fondling, and caressing my body before finally taking me fervently.

Before I fell asleep, I thought of how I wanted him to want me likewise, and I also wanted him to feel restless whenever he was close to me.

****************************************

I woke to the sun shining through the bedroom window. I turned to check the left side of the bed to see if he'd truly slept beside me. The space he slept in was still warm and disheveled from his presence, but he was no longer on the bed. Just at that moment, I heard the running shower in the bathroom go off. Seconds later, he stepped out of the bathroom, only dressed in a white fluffy towel wrapped around his waist. He had another towel in his hands, using it to first dry his body, then his hair before dropping it in the laundry basket positioned in a corner. I couldn't help but detect the broad width of his shoulder, his hairy muscle chest, and how sexy his damp hair made him look. My eyes scan through his body from head to toe and from toe to head again. I stopped short when I saw he was watching me ogle him. My cheek colored with embarrassment that he had caught me gazing at him lustfully.

"Do you love what you see?" He asked with great amusement, his blue icy eyes glittering with wants.

Mortified.

I tried to avoid his gaze, as my cheeks heated up. I said achingly "I haven't decided." Trying to mess with him, I said further "Besides, it's nothing I haven't seen before."

That seems to have inflamed him. I looked as he dangerously strode towards me with his long legs, to stand before me. He let loose a menacing laugh while staring at me steadily.

"Can you repeat what you just said, Tesoro?" he asked in a threatening strong voice

Not wanting to back down, I said to him more slowly this time "You heard me the first time. But that's no problem, I'm happy to repeat it. I said it's nothing I haven't seen before"

Deep down, I knew aggravating him is not the right thing to do. Being the alpha male that he is, I know he won't appreciate the comparison to other men. But I wanted him to take me without me asking, therefore breaking his promise.

Determined to push him to the wall, I went on, "You ain't totally bad, compared to the other men I have....."

He abruptly dropped his mouth on mine to stop me from finishing my sentence. He propelled into me, using his tongue to trace and bite my lower lip gently, before slipping his tongue into my mouth aggressively. He drove me crazy with the kiss that I couldn't help but touch him. I let my hand roam his back before wrapping it around his broad shoulder to keep him there with me.

I noticed he moved his hands from my hips up to my breast. He toyed with my n*****s through my black babydoll nightwear, before sliding his hands under it, to touch my bare breast. His touch lit every single cell in my body on fire. He tore his mouth from mine and let it drop in between my breast. He studied them with all seriousness, before claiming my right hard n****e with his mouth sending a piercing shiver through my body. I pushed myself against him, needing him to take more and quench this blazing fire he'd set on me as he kneads my other breast. He wrenched his mouth from my hard n****e, returning it to my mouth. I groaned with pleasure as he removed his hand from my breast, and slide it down into my panties, between my legs.

I ached and squirmed fiercely for release as his fingers teased and parted me before sliding inside my moist soft and feminine s*x.

"Do they touch you as I do?" he asked in a husked breathless voice

His mouth once again claimed my mouth not giving me the chance to respond, driving me to the edge of a cliff with intense pleasure. He resumed teasing my inner lips, before gliding two of his fingers into me, and began to stroke and move rhythmically inside me. Not being able to endure the heat, I tore my mouth from his and let out an earth-shattering cry.

I freed his towel and moved my hands temptingly along the length of his smoothly hard arousal. Wanting to drive him crazy as he is doing to me. But he refused to let me enjoy the luxury of touching him. He yanked my hand away from his length. He shoved away from me unexpectedly, muttering Italian words I didn't understand as he raked his fingers through his glossy black hair.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" He cursed out.

"I don't know what you are talking about" I lied

"Of course, you do. You wanted me to lose control. You knew I'd react like that if you compare me to other men." He snapped out through his clutched jaw. "A little warning though, if you ever mention other men while in my bed, you won't like the consequence"

He glared at me with cold icy eyes unblinkingly for a few minutes before he went to the wooden wardrobe. He went through his closet, picked out the clothes, then dropped his towel from his waist to change into a casual grey t-shirt and dark grey pants.

Arrogant bastard! I'm sure he did that on purpose to mock me

As if to own up to my accusation, he laughed out loud, giving me a mocking look. I wanted to slap that smile off his f*****g sexy face. I jumped out of bed, giving him a dirty look as I walk towards the bathroom so I could take a very cold shower to relieve the tension between my thighs. The bastard didn't even give me the release I wanted so badly. I'm sure he did that on purpose.

"Don't spend all day in there. I booked breakfast for us at the restaurant. We have to be there by nine." He rang out with excessive pride, smiling smugly.

"f**k you... You can't tell me what to do or not. I will spend the whole day there taking care of myself. Something you couldn't do properly" I said tauntingly

"stai attento tesoro! Besides that what do you get for toying with me? Now get that sexy back of yours into the bathroom, before I drag you to the bed and keep you there."

I stared at him with a heart-stopping pause, then gave a self-satisfied smirk because I knew he wasn't unaffected by this sensual desire I feel every time I see him.

"Tease" I heard him say as I close the bathroom door.

***********************************************

Thirty minutes later, I sat in front of Aurelio at the hotel restaurant where we were having our breakfast. I took time to explore the restaurant arena, while he focused on his phone. The restaurant features an eclectic Mediterranean concept running across the entire space. From the white and blue color scheme to the wood furnishings and mosaic tiles, everything embraces the feel of the Mediterranean. The restaurant also provides stunning views of the breezy ocean, creating a warm atmosphere. I love the feelings it evoked.

I turned my attention back to Aurelio, studying as he barely touched his food while putting all his attention on his phone. What's so interesting on his phone? I marveled.

"Don't you like the food?" I inquired. His face lifted from his phone to give me a confused look. I pointed to his food. "You've hardly touched your food. Don't you like it"

"I do. But not as exquisite as the cuisines served in my hotels and resorts. I only hire the best chefs around the world." He said boastfully

I bit my cheeks to prevent myself from laughing at him, "I hear you"

He stared at me in disbelief, "I see you don't believe me. Maybe we should have dinner at one of my hotels when we return home. You are going to be shocked." He said, returning his attention to his phone.

"I'm going to be very busy when I return to London." I disclosed

"Why is that? Too busy to eat out with your husband." He said, giving me a vexed look.

Why does he sound like I'd be committing a grave sin, not eating with him?

"Not if you put it that way. I'm just going to be busy for the next two months. I have a deadline to meet. The wedding preparation and this honeymoon as taken out of that time. I need to get back to work immediately. Besides we can always eat at home since I would be working from home most time." I said explaining. I carried on, poking fun at him "I'm sure I can create time if you insist. Since it's just two months out of two years, we'll always find time to eat out."

"You can't be serious. Do you think I have time to wait around till you say it's convenient to eat out? So what if I have a social gathering that requires your presence, will you tell me you can't come too? Will you prefer for me to take a random woman out since you would be too busy for me?"

"You won't dare. The last thing I need right now is a cheating husband and pity from everyone because my so-called husband decided to cheat." I snarled at him.

"Who said anything about cheating? Since we are committed to each other, I expect us to be exclusive. No outside lover."

"Then why did you say you would take another woman instead of me? I never said I won't accompany you to your social gatherings."

"It's good to know," he said dismissingly before picking up his call.
