Chapter 19: Holiday
1100 Words
"Holiday? You want to take me on holiday? " Lisa said, surprised, as Matt popped a strawberry into her mouth. It had been a week since Emily and Lisa had moved into the Blackwoods building. Between looking after Emily, Lisa's week had been filled with passionate lovemaking. She had never been with a man with such stamina or skill. His appetite was also insatiable, but then so was Lisa’s. They simply could not keep their hands off each other.
"Why not? You could do with some sun and relaxation. You are far too pale, Amoreco! " Matt said. He was concerned about her; the scars that he could see were deep. Lisa had not taken her top off yet, and Matt respected her decision. She would show him when she was ready. He was not going to push her. But it was clear someone had badly hurt her.
I can’t just pack up and leave! What about Emily? " Lisa said.
"Lisa can come with Will. There is plenty of room on my island, " Matt said with a shrug.
Hang on, did you just say island? Do you have a private island? " Lisa said, shocked.
"Yes, so privacy is assured as there are less than twenty people there. Interested? " Matt said, with a seductive smile.
Lisa bit her bottom lip, a sign she was thinking. The truth was that Emily and Lisa were in desperate need of a vacation. Matt began to kiss her shoulder, and she could feel his already erect c**k digging into her hip. Lisa knew she could not resist him for long.
"Yes, OK. I suppose a couple of weeks would not hurt. But I have to come back by mid-August to prepare for school. "
"Sure, you have a deal, " Matt said. But the truth be told, he wasn’t intending to let Lisa go back to work. He was planning to ask for her hand in marriage by the end of the summer. She would then be a full-fledged Syndicate Princess and would not need to work. Some people might think he was moving too quickly, but he didn’t think so. He had waited a long time to feel this way about someone, and didn’t see any reason to wait.
"Well, I need to buy some new clothes," Lisa said.
"Already taken care of," Matt said smugly.
"What?" Lisa said angrily.
"Now don’t get angry. I got some staff to buy some clothes for you and Emily. I knew your size and I asked Will for Emily's. "
"Do I even want to know how Will knows her size?" Lisa grumped.
"Hmmm, think about that later, Lisa," Matt said, moving on top of her and separating her legs with his knees.
"Haven’t you had enough yet?" Lisa said, she gasped, as he entered her.
"Oh Lisa, haven’t you worked it out yet? I will never get enough of you!"
Forty-eight hours later, Lisa could not believe where she was. She was on a pure white sandy beach and in a crystal clear blue sea. She felt a strong pair of arms snake around her waist.
"Do you like it?" Matt asked as they watched Emily and Will frolic down the beach.
"How can I not? This is beautiful and the house... I've never seen anything like it. " Lisa admitted. The house was a two-story large mansion with a wooden and glass front. It was stocked with everything someone could possibly need. It also had a hot tub, stables, and a sauna.
"I am glad it meets your high standards."
"I am sure it meets every woman's standards that you brought here. How could it not? " Lisa said practically. As soon as those words left her lips, she felt herself being turned around. Once again, she found herself gazing into his amber eyes.
"Who says I have brought any other women here?" Matt asked sternly.
"You haven’t? Lisa said, surprised.
"No, Amoreco, I haven’t."
Well, that would explain why the housekeeper looked at me like I had three heads," Lisa said with a dramatic sigh. They held each other’s hands and began to walk down the beach.
Matt chuckled and said, "She waited a long time to see the youngest Maldonado brother to bring a potential wife here."
Lisa stopped and turned to Matt, "Potential wife?"
Matt looked at her and said, "Why do you look so shocked? Don’t you want your days filled with laughter and your nights filled with passion? "
" A bit early, don’t you think?" Lisa pointed this out as Matt pulled her closer.
"Hmmm, once you know, you know Amoreco. If you haven’t guessed by now, I adore every single freckle on your beautiful body. " Matt said as he leaned down and kissed her lips hard.
"Ewww, come on, guys, get a room!" Will shouted, and Lisa jumped away from Matt. Matt internally growled at the interruption. "Can we help you, Will?" Matt said with a strained smile.
"Oh, yeah. I was just asking if I could take Emily out on the water in your boat. I promise I'll be safe! " Will asked.
"I don’t know. I think it would be very dangerous. I know you can sail a bit, but this water is unfamiliar and... " Lisa was starting to explain.
"I think it is an excellent idea, Will. Just make sure that you both wear life jackets." Matt said.
"Matt?" Lisa questioned.
"Will is a highly skilled sailor. The Collins were born on the water. They will be fine." Matt reassured her.
"And how do you know that?" Lisa said, folding her arms.
Everyone in the business world knows that! I dealt with his cousins' shipping business and know what the family is like. They live and breathe the sea. Trust me, no harm will come to Emily, " Matt quickly said. He told himself it was not a complete lie. He had used Jack Collins’ shipping company and knew how skilled the sea gangs were at sailing.
"I suppose it is OK." Lisa grumped. Will must have heard this as he smiled and ran off down the beach. "Now, what are we supposed to do?"
"We're christening our bedroom now, Amoreco," Matt said as he held Lisa in a bridal hold.
"You are a complete i***t. Do you know that?" Lisa said as she gently smacked his chest.
Matt laughed and said, "It is not the first time that I have been told that!"
"And I guarantee it won’t be the last!" Lisa said, making Matt roar with laughter.
