Penthouse
I bite my lip to hide my smile, and Nathan squeezes my hand. I squeeze it back.
Moments later, the doors open into a private foyer, and the receptionist takes our key and opens the large double doors, holding them open for us.
Holy crap.
The place is huge, with white décor and light timber furnishings. The furnishings are in aqua. The entire back wall is glass, overlooking a huge deck with a private pool and deckchairs. There’s a big outdoor day bed that has a white net hanging off a four-poster frame, as well as a bar and two hammocks. The timber woodwork is pale and weathered, as if it’s been washed up onto the beach.
“Oh, wow,” I whisper.
She opens the sliding door. “You have a private pool, and a server who is on call twenty-four hours a day. He will make your drinks. Whatever you want is at your fingertips.”
Unable to help it, I walk out onto the deck. The one hundred and eighty degree view over the Mediterranean Sea is breathtaking. I smile goofily as I stare out at the ocean.
I’ve died and gone to Heaven… with a god. How ironic.
The receptionist goes through the details of the Penthouse with Nathan, but I can’t make myself leave the deck. I already know that this is my happy place. I’m in love.
Nathan eventually walks out and smiles as he takes me in his arms.
“This is beautiful. You spoil me too much.”
His lips take mine. “No such thing.”
I feel so warm and relaxed after finally arriving. I put my head onto his chest, and he holds me. Now that we’re here, I’m suddenly dead tired.
“Come on, we need to sleep,” Nathan says. “It’s four in the morning at home.”
“No wonder I’m tired.” I smile sleepily. “What time is it here?”
“9:00 a.m.”
“We’ll have a few hours’ sleep and then get up and have a swim. Tonight, we’ll go out for dinner.”
“Okay.” I kiss his big, perfect lips. “I’m going to take a shower.” I look around. “Oh, our bags aren’t here yet.”
“That’s okay, I’ll get them.” He pulls me in for another kiss, and his lips linger over mine with a promise of what’s to come.
I squeeze him tightly, and he grabs my behind playfully, “Go.”
I make my way inside and find our bedroom.
“Holy shit,” I whisper to myself.
The room is navy blue with white linen furnishings. It’s the most beautiful room I have ever been in. The headboard is high-backed and velvet—the same beautiful color as the walls. I open the double doors and gasp.
The bathroom is decorated in navy with the suite made from white marble. It looks like something out of a magazine. There is even a bench seat in the double-headed shower. The circular bath is sunk into the floor, and the entire upper walls are mirrored. A huge chandelier hangs over the center over the bath. I smile as I look down into the bathtub. I’m going to have sex in there. I look at the shower…and in there, too.
In fact, I’m going to have sex on every damn surface in this place.
I turn the shower on and smile to myself. “Can things get any better?”

I wake to the soft sound of Nathan breathing, and I frown in confusion.
What happened?
