In less than five minutes, she’s back with a backpack over her shoulders and climbing back onto the bike.
“Where are we going?” she shouts, but I turn the ignition and cut her off. She’s going to have to wait.
I memorized the directions while I was in math earlier, so I don’t even need to look at a map as we make our way out of the Bay. Her arms remain wrapped tightly around me the entire journey, making me damn near ready to explode with need.
By the time I pull off the main road and onto a little track that’s meant to head to our weekend home, I’m strung so tightly that I’m not sure I’m going to even get her through the front door.
“Holy shit,” I gasp as we round a corner and the sea comes into view before an incredible beach house appears before us.
It’s totally secluded, built into the side of the hill with what looks like a private beach below. I bring the bike to a stop and kill the engine. Remi is off and has the helmet in her hands in seconds. Her eyes are wide with awe as she looks from the exclusive-looking house and back to me.
“Here? We’re spending the weekend here?”
“Just me and you, Princess.”
“Whoa. What the hell did I do to deserve this?”
Climbing from the bike, I pull her into my arms. “You’re just you, baby.”
Slipping my hand around the back of her neck, I pull her lips to mine. I sweep my tongue into her mouth, tangling it with hers, but it’s not enough. It’s never enough. “Shall we go and check the place out?”
“Um… yes!”
We walk hand in hand down the small gravel path toward the house. I’m totally out of my depth here. I’ve never been anywhere so fancy in all my life. I thought moving into James’ was a shock to the system, but this place is out of this world.
I open the gate and let Remi step up onto the decking. There’s a sunken hot tub and a pool with water so blue it blends with the sea in the distance, so it looks like it goes on forever. There are loungers, love seats, a swing, and the biggest grill I think I’ve ever seen.
“Ace, how the hell did you find this place?”
“I have my ways,” I mutter.
We make our way to the door and slide it open. Whoever Ellen’s old boss is, was clearly expecting us. There’s a welcome note with the key, a bottle of champagne in an ice bucket, and a huge assortment of fresh fruit beside it.
“How much did this cost you?”
“It doesn't matter. Nothing matters right now but you and me, Princess.”
Dropping our bags to the floor, I pull her into my arms. “It’s just me, you, and the sea for the entire weekend. What did you want to do first?”
She reaches up until her lips tickle against my ear. “Hmmm, I have a few ideas, and you’re wearing too many clothes for all of them.”
I groan. My need for her is all-consuming, but I’m going to do this right.
“Happy birthday, Princess.”
“Huh?” she pulls back and looks at me as if I’ve lost my mind.
“This is a do-over. You deserve the world, but this is the best I could come up with.”
“The best?” she asks incredulously. “This is fucking incredible.”
I look at our surroundings, feeling totally out of place. “It really is something.”
“You weren’t expecting this, were you?”
“I knew it was a beach house, but I had no idea it was going to be this… flashy.”
“Well, get used to it, because it’s all ours.” I grin, trying to hide how out of my depth I feel. “Shall we see what’s for dinner?”
