I nodded. “It is.”
“Then, you’re bluffing?” she reassured and then her hand reached out to get another pastry.
“Am I? Do you want it to be a bluff?” I watched as all sorts of emotions played on her face before I rested my arms on the armrests. Thoughtful. “Come here and sit with me,” I invited. She nodded and sat next to me, on her side, facing me.
She bit her lip, fingers twisted together. “Um, I don’t know. It’s just that, it’s just so unexpected, I guess.”
She looked at a loss for words; I had to pull her closer and then kiss her forehead. “Relax. It’s not this weekend. I promised that I’ll wait and I will.”
“Thank you. I know you’re adamant to tie the knot. I appreciate you waiting.” She cupped my face, looking up at me. Love shone in her gorgeous eyes, zinging me to the core.
“It’s unfortunate, isn’t it? That you’re the only woman I want to marry? I suppose I could wait for another few years, decades even,” I joked, wanting to lighten the mood.
“I better be the only woman,” she muttered, pinching my nipple through my dress shirt before she stifled a yawn.
I grunted from the pain. “Goodness, woman. Calm down.”
“Are you in pain?” She cocked her brow, uncaring.
Why, so she could do it some more? I thought suspiciously. “I’m quite all right. Nipples. Sensitive. Area. Try not to hurt me there, if there’s a next time.”
“Aw! Want me to lick your pain away?” she spoke and then licked her lips suggestively.
“I do, but the pain drifted lower, making it rather crucial. Might need some sucking, too.” I knew she was tired, that’s why I wasn’t even trying to seduce her, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t have fun with it.
“Pervert!” She yawned. “I love this, but I’m sleepy.”
Glancing at my watch, I wrapped my arm around her. “Let’s get you to bed then. We won’t be arriving for another hour and half,” I said before I stood up and gathered her in my arms, walking towards the tail of the jet, towards the bedroom.
Carefully placing her atop the bed, I covered her with a blanket before I brushed the hair off her forehead and planted a kiss on it. “I have to get some work down. Sleep well, cara.”
“Knightly?” she murmured.
“Yes?”
“I love you.”
I smiled in the dimly lit room, content with life. “I love you.”
Back in my seat, I went through some emails and called a few people to iron out details needed for this weekend. We were landing in Marbella in no time and I was ready to spend some time with her this weekend, with our friends.
Sienna was very much out like a light.
I had carried her out of the jet to the waiting car and into villa, stripping her bare before tucking her into bed.
Showered and exhausted, I slid next to her. “Dream of us, amore,” I whispered into her ear, gathering her close before joining her into a deep slumber.
Twenty-Five
Blake
“Oh my God!” She gasped, taking it all in. “BLAKE!” She screeched, hand on her throat, clutching my arm in panic.
I laughed before I whispered into her ear. “Relax, this is our engagement party not our wedding.”
Sienna groaned, throwing me a dirty look. “It’s not that, idiot! I can’t believe you did all this behind my back.”
“It was all Lucy and Chad actually. All I had to do really was provide them with my credit card and they had to shoo me away. Quite rude if you ask me.”
“Everybody was on this, but me?” She frowned, until Chad and Lucy finally came out and murdered us with hugs and squeals. Sienna threw cutting looks but was grinning afterwards. “How about you guys show me the party? I think it’s time to get drunk and party our asses off!”
I shook my head, following the trio from behind. Tonight, with Sienna drunk, it will definitely be interesting night to remember. She gets too excited, and that’s just putting it mildly.
The guests were kept at a minimum. I didn’t want a lot of people about, so I agreed to a hundred when Chad suggested triple that amount.
We mingled about. Introducing Sienna to business associates and friends from different parts of the continent before my grandfather appeared on my side. “You’re growing up too fast, aren’t we boy?” he grinned, before hugging and patting my back.
“Good evening, grandfather. You look well.” I observed, glad that the old man could make it. He hated travelling. He’d avoid it if he could.
“You’d know sooner if you had come and visited me much often.” Grandfather then turned towards Sienna, who looked nervous all of a sudden. “Sienna, lovely to meet you again. Apologies for my rude behavior the last time we met.” He sincerely spoke, shocking Sienna. “I hope you accept it and not hold it against me. I can’t have that, you see. I want babies quite immediately, if you don’t mind.” He patted Sienna’s cheeks before moving on to the other older guests—probably towards my aunt and uncle, who were also here from Rome.
“Did he just tell me to get pregnant soon?” Sienna looked at where my grandfather was before looking back at me, confused.
“He did.” I murmured, hiding a smile.
She shook her head, grabbing a champagne flute from a passing waiter. “You’re dancing with me tonight, right?”
“If you could get me drunk, I’d even let you do a private striptease.” I grinned, winking at her.
“Get me drunk first, then we can negotiate. For now, keep it in, babe.” She moved to the side, looking like she was about to kiss me, but instead, she secretly patted my penis. “Behave now, boy.”
Tonight was going to be a fun night. I just knew it.
We chatted about for another half an hour until it was time for dinner, but before we did, we were interrupted for a toast.
Toby stood up, fork and champagne in hand, getting everyone’s attention. “Thank you all for joining us this splendid evening. For those who aren’t familiar with me, I’m Toby Watson, and I have been best mate’s since toddlers with this dashing fella right here.” He roughly patted my head, before grinning wickedly. “Let me be honest here, I never thought Knightly was capable of committing to a relationship—no offense—but all of his shenanigans halted—no—it actually disappeared when he pursued the other love of my life, Sienna Richards.” He winked at Sienna, who had a wide smile on her face, before she reached for my hand on the table and held it.
